came utterly impossible to move off our wsgon
train and artillery.
General confusion followed here the enemy
pressing our troops on all sides with superior
numbers. The cavalry under Grierson. after
desperate fighting, were compelled to fall back.
The infantry were thrown into confusion, sur
rounded by the enemy, and the greater por-
ton captured. OF the eighteen pieces of ar
tillery, four only were brought off. About
two hundred of our wagons were taken. The
greater portion of our wounded fell into the
enemy's hands. During the retreat the cav
airy of the enemy pursued our forces 20 near
Colliersville.
Our loss in killed, wounded and captured
will probably exceed 2, 00O though large num-
bers are continually coming in. The loss of
the enemy in killed and wounded is supposed
to have been considerable. Our losses were
principally infantry and artillery, though seve-
raj of our cavalry regiments suffered severely
in the last engagement upon the retreat. The
loss in the I'd New Jersey Cavalry is especially
heavy.
Citizens of Ripley report Kirby Smith to
have been in command of the enemy; and
Gems. Forrest, Roddy, s. d. Lee and Gholson,
are said to have been present.
Inc following were the troops composing
Gen. Sturgis command on the expedition {:

CAIRO, June IA.
Memphis papers of yesterday, received by
the steamer Belle Memphis, contain accounts
of another defeat of Federal arms A force of
5000 men under Gen. Sturgis left Memphis
two weeks since for operations in the rear of
Sherman. On Friday last after having been
out about nine days, they reached the neigh
borhood of Guntown, Mississippi, a point forty
miles west of Corinth. They met the enemy
in force posted this side of the town, on the
Fulton Rigley road. Our cavalry. which was
five miles in advance of the infantry and wag
on train. engaged the enemy, but were over
powered and necessitated to fall back three
miles to Oldtown Creek, where they were
Joined by McMillans brigade of infantry,
which had been brought up on the double
quick.
This stream is fordable at only one point in
the neighborhood, and is spanned by O small
bridge where the Fulton Ripley road crosses.
The eastern bank is several feet higher than
the western so that the advantage of position
was gained by fighting from the former side,
which advantage was naturally the enemys.
After driving our advance back to across the
creek upon our infantry, artillery coming up,
sharp engagement over two hours ensued.
Our forces were finally compelled to fall back
before the superior force of the enemy, which
they did in the direction of Ripley, the enemy
following closely in their rear.
A continual skirmish was kept up for nearly
eight miles, when our forces reached o swamp
on the Fulton Ripley road, o mile or two be-
yond Ripley, where another engagement was
had. The road at this point was narrow, and
az this time was deep with mud, so that 1t be-

Gen. Mcclellan at Easton, Penn.
From the Philadelphia Age.

From the Philadelphia Age
General Geo. B Mcclellan, in company with
MIR. Barringer, chief engineer of the Morris
and Essex Railroad Company, with whom he
had been inspecting the line of the proposed
extension of that road to Easton, arrived in
that place on Tuesday evening. and engaged
quarters at the Franklin House. Within one
hour crowd OF several thousand people had
assembled in front of the hotel which kept in
creasipg until about nine o'clock, when Coates
Cornet Band appeared, and played several pat
rotic airs, when Gen. Mcclellan stepped on
the balcony. His appearance was greeted with
hearty cheers from the thousands of men in
the street below and the waving of handker-
chiefs from as many ladies. The scene was
very brilliant one.
The General merely thanked the people for
so gratifying reception. He had come unex-
pectedlv and he knew they would excuse him
ii he said nothing more than to repeat his
thanks for the honOrs conferred upon him. He
then returned to the parlor where as many as
could force their way in paid their respects.
In the crowd were a number Of soldiers who
had fought under him in Virginia. Onc vete
ran, who had lost leg, hobbled in on his
crutches grasped Little Mac" by the hand,
and exclaimed, God bless you, Genera
fought under you two years and would be
willing to fight with you two more"
Between 9 and 10 o'clock Gen. Mcclellan
left the hotel and went to the residence of
Judge Maynard, where he spent the night.
Here again, crowds of ladies and gentlemen
poured in until II o'clock, all of whom seemed
delighted to take by the hand the hero. the
patriot and statesman. On "Wednesday morn
ing he LETT for his home at Orange, New
jersey,
