We gather the annexed news from the Sci

I'VE gather the annexed newshom the Del.
ma Mississippian:'...
The victory Of Gen. Forrest, over Grfersoh
wase1uost complete. Grierson. had got down
asfar as West Point. Forrestmade arrange
ments to.surround a~ndscaptnre him. Gficr.
son suspected something, -andamade,a retro
grade.inoyement. Forrest pursued, and sthe
fight commenced at. Okolona, and continued
to the vicinity of Pontotoc:r The pursuit
would have been Kept UP still, further but for
the worn out condition OF the horses IN, oul
| command. -
The road9or manymiles was with
arms, harersacks, dead Yankees, and every
thing else which formerly belonged to the
Yaases. Their wagons were all left behind.
Bupgies and carriages which theyrhnd stolen
we're left withfres built in them, but further
on they were so hotly pursued thatthey didn't
have time. to take this precautions but LEFT the
Eyehiclesunharmed with the tracescut.' The
number Of killed, wounded and prisoners was
very ereat-onr. loss small. General Forrest
loushtthe battle with sbout 2,0C0 mcn-the
reinforceiments expected by him did not ar
rive in time. The enemy had three times his
number. Gen. Forrest led most Of the charges
himself.
This victory Of Gen. Forrest prevented the
junction of the large column of cavalry and
mounted Infantry under Grierson and Smith
with Sherman at Enterprise, and thus COM
PEELED the retreat of the wholeinyading forces,
and the savage desolation of a still greater por-
ton of the country.
Among the forces of Griersos. which lately
received such q signal defeat in North Mlssl.-
sippi, were a large number of Dutch aud 9TH
err foreign merceparies whose outragcs upon
the unarmed citizens and defenceless women
of the region through which they passed, is
said to be without o parallel in the history
of the war. Everything Of value that they
could lay their handsson was either stolen Or
destroyed jewelry was ruthlessly torn frora
the persons of ladies amid the jeers and taunts
Of the savage vagsbonds, and family relies, OF
no value to any one but the owners, were de-
stroyed with Gendish delight.
AS an evidence of their brutality, we are
informed that :. Mr. Jarman, a highly reqpec-
table and gallant gentleman residing in the
neighborhood-of Aberdeen was captured and
shot 10y them. After he was dead, the fends
severed his .head from his body, CHARTERED
him and left his remains hanging by the
roadside! Their excuse for the helhsh act
was that Mr.. Jayrnan and q few others had
fired on them in their passage through the
country, and was, therefore, . bush-whacker.
Tie ra,cals received their reward when they
met Forrest.
The citizens of Columbus, Mississippi, have
presented Gen. Forrest with @ fine horse, as
a slight token of their feelings towards him
for his recent victory.

The Streets Of Knoxville.

If the dead mules and horses, mud and
filth with which this town ahounds shall
continue to accumulate, We must have sick
ness to an alarming extent if even we do
not have peStHence. The like never was
seen in any civilized country. Families, in
many cases are more filthy than the brutcs
that stroll about throwing their filth out
into the streets and on the sidewalks, The
negroes try how filthy and lazy they can be,
and the soldiers, or many of them, seem TO
have lost all pride Of character contcnting
themselves with all the filth about them
Col RILEY, of the l0ith Ohio, we are
pleased to learn, is now in command Of this
post, and from his well known energy Of
character, we hope to hear Of his co-opcra-
ting with the Mayor and Aldermen to clean
up the whole town, The citizens expect it,
the interest of soldiers and ciiizcns require
it, and the dictates of humanity demand
that the town should be cleaned up, and
cleaned thoroughly.
