A Nashville dispatch states Hood was very
badly defeated by sherman while trying to
cross the Tennessee river.
The Richmond Enquirer has a dispatch da-
ted near Plymouth, ~ c., 3lst, stating that
after three days hard fighting, the enemy pass
ed up Middle river and came down Roanoke
river this morning Gen. paker fought until
the enemys gunboats passed our forts and
dismounted our gums in the harbur. An evac-
uatUn was then ordered, which was accom-
pishod under severe shelling

went up channel which took them above
Plymouth, enabling them to come down an
other channel commanding the rear OF that
place.

The Herald's correspondent says General
Sherman has sent the 4th corps to Decatur
TO operate against Hood and has removed the
remainder of his army to Atlanta to inaugu-
ra' an offensive campaign from that point.
The Herald's Shenandoah valley corre-
spondent emphatically denies the reports that
Gen Sheridan is falling back. His army

that IL Of the Ii yankees were captured-
Eight rebel pickets were captured. The tor
pedo boat ran under the ram amidships and
blew her up, ctusing damages from which she
soon after sunk. The infantry on shore fred

killed and only one man wounded. 1t is un-
derstood that no lives were lost on the Al Der
marie.
