report that the enemy are building bridge across

heights command the city and its principal defences,

siege last fall They report also that the main body
of the Yankee troops are encamped five miles below

TIE ENEMY IN JACKSON MIss1ssIPPL-We learn
from the Atlanta Register Of the 10th that General
Sherman, with some twenty thousand federals' took
possession of Jackson on Friday the 9th. The ex-
pedition is said to be commanded by Sherman, with
Mcpherson and Hurlbutt as corps commanders
They were met by the Confederate cavalry under
Adams and Ross, and gallantly resisted, but they
pressed on, and occupied Jackson, our infantry fall
ing back to Brandon. Some Of our exchanges think
this movement is part Of the operations against
Mobile while others think it is intended for central
Alabama In addition to Sherman's column, anoth'

there is no small difficulty in adjusting the differ

vision for putting in active service those soldiers

departments, and supplying their places with DIS

country.

VERY KND.-The bohemian" correspondent
Of the Richmond Dispatch, In his account of the
recent expedition against Newbsrn says:
II am confident, from observation and informa-
ton received during two weeks soj0urn in the Old
North State. that too many false tales are circula

went the people almost without exception, were
loyal and true to our government l saw no evil
dence of dissatisfaction, and heard spo1iDng which

stantly encouraging the enemy by crying out tina,

PRISONERS TO BE REMOVED. The Danville Regis

prisoners at this place shortly be removed

peRse to the government than they now are Indeed
the supplies on hand here nearly cut and there
is no prospect Of getting more fsod for these men
Hence their removal South is matter of necessity
and in week or two, at farthest We may expect t
be relieved OF their presence"
1t .is said that the $4,000 Yankee prisoners a
Richmond are also to be sent to Georgia.
