rom Memphis, were sent out for the purpose of destroying the immense quantity of railroad stock accumulated at Grenada.--Chalmers engaged the Memphis column near Panola, and was defeated. He himself is missing, and reported captured. The Yazoo column reached Grenada, and destroyed forty locomotives and a large number of passenger and freight cars, the accumulated stock of the Mississippi Central and New Orleans and Jackson roads, sent there for safety. The raid from Corinth reached Water Valley upon the same expedition about the same time the others reached Grenada. The damage inflicted is incalculable and irreparable. The force sent from here and that under Whitfield had not encountered the enemy. It is scarcely probable that they will escape without an engagement. These facts are derived in the main from Col. Forttaine, an officer of Chalmers's command. All the raids appear to have been started with the one view of destroying the railroad stock. It is not probabl

I omitted in yesterday's letter to state that Dick Taylor's cavalry had "gobbled up" thirty-five of the Yankees who were planting by contract for the Lincoln Government, and had pressed the negroes in West Louisiana to work the crops. They have been sent to Texas to be held as hostages for some of the planters who have been carried off by the Yankees. It is to be regretted that old Montague, who has made himself so odious in this connection, escaped, together with his sons, who deserted from the army last fall.

Twenty-eight of these regiments claim that their term of enlistment has expired.--Those regiments were full when they came to New Orleans--one thousand and forty each--fifty-two thousand men. Banks has lost thirty-seven thousand. God only knows how many have been lost opening the Mississippi from Cairo down — probably five times as many. The Mobile Advertiser has the following telegram, dated Okolona, Miss., Aug. 20th: A gentleman who left Grenada Monday arrived this morning bringing important intelligence from the Central road. Two large raids, one from Yazoo City, the other from Memphis, were sent out for the purpose of destroying the immense quantity of railroad stock accumulated at Grenada.--Chalmers engaged the Memphis column near Panola, and was defeated.

e drilled, and the women and children are left wholly unprotected. Their situation is most deplorable. Gen. Sherman is as crazy as ever. He sent notice by the flag that it was expected that the Confederate cavalry would not come west of Pearl river. That section may be regarded as neutral ground. The people must be allowed to make their own election between the rebellion and the Union. He is very much exasperated at incursions beyond Big Black, by which his men, capturing watermelons, are picked up. He threatens to strike where Gen. Jackson least expects it, unless he keeps his troopers east of Pearl river. He will burn every house on his "neutral"ground. He says, crazy as this message may seem, it will be acted upon, and the people west of here know it, and in terror of it they dread the approach of our cavalry. Twice destroyed they dread a renewal of the conflict. But it must come. If the vandals burn — and they will — we must make the best of it, take care of the re
