Late News.

The rebel General Forrest made a
raid into the City of Memphis on Sun
day morning the 21st, with the inten-
ton of capturing Generals Washburn
and Hurlburt, liberating the prisoners
there confined, and securing a little
plumber They succeeded in obtaining
some plumber, but failed in every other
object; for as soon as the Union force
at the Fort could sufficiently prepare
themselves for an attack they made for
the rebels, who by this time were in full
retreat. ~
Since Dur last Com Farragut has done
good work at Mobile. Fort Morgan
surrendered on the 9th ult., with all
its garrison, including Gen. Page, guns,
munitions of war, &c.
The fighting on the Weldon r. R..
has been very severe; the rebels were
loath to give up the use of that to them
principal channel of communication
with the, South, and SO contested the
possession of it repeatedly, but have as
yet been able to gain no very decided
advantage, and it is thought they are
about to give it up. Our forces are SO
fortified that they can hold it as long
as the rebels wish to contest it.
The news from Sherman is good and
encouraging, though nothing very start
ling. A very interesting communica-
ton from that army will be found else
where in this paper.
Gold opened on the goth ult. in New
York at 81 As, after settling down to
s2,42a recovered to s2,44, but on the
confirmation of the news of the capture
Of Fort Morgan went down to s2,35,
lower than it has been for some time.

The Tallahassee,

This rebel emissary of plumber has
been committing a number of depreda-
tons on our commerce Of late, and is
yet free to do whatsoever she is able,
and dares to undertake. She has cap
tured number of vessels of the At
lantic coast. The schooner Dorchester
was taken and bonded for $4,000. She
took and scuttled four schooners on
Monday the Goth ult.; the crews were
allowed to take all their private effects
and put on the bonded schooner which
landed them at Portland, Maine. She
is reported to be heavily armed. Five
schooners were burned by her on the
10th ult., and for over week she has
been permitted to prey upon our com
merce as above. She is now holly pur-
sued by some thirteen Union vessels of
various sizes and strength But the
captain Of the pirate says he can run
sixteen knots an hour, and that he once
steamed across the British channel
twenty-one miles-in seventy-two min
utes, SO it will be difficult job to capture
her. Though we sincerely hope that
her career may not be so long, or her
depredations so destructive as that
pccurge Of the seas the rebel pirate

The advance Of the enemy across Big Black

leaving their dead and wounded.
Their infantry then came up, advancing
rapidly, and determined, slowly driving back

Overwhelming numbers swept upon our

which point the enemy have 80 far success

There has been no general engagement |

and it is probable that the enemy will not at.
tempt to advance further at present, but will
rest satisfied with the occupation of Jackson
while reinforeementa and supplies can be
brought to his aid. He may nevertheless, be
