December 28, 1SG2. ^ j'
The town is in a furore of excitement
at the return of Major General Earl Van
Dorn and Lis dashing command Loin the
brilliant raid upon Holly Springs, which
has been so stupendously disastrous to the
enemy and so importantly successful to our
own arms. Gen. Van Dorn started from
this point thirteen days since, having first
supplied his cavalry command of 2,700
■non with fifteen days rations to support
and satisfy the inner man, and a bottle ol
turpentine and a box of matches, each, to
enable them the more perfectly to carry
out their work of destruction upon Aholi
tion property. Striking out northeast, the
command passed through Pontotoc, and
having no time to devote to the Yankee
marauders who were at the time south of
them on the Mobile and Ohio Ilailroad,
having much more important work on
hand, Van Dorn’s force marched on through
New Albany and started out on the Kip-
ley road, in order to perfectly deceive the
enemy.
Two hours after the force passed through
l’ontotoc, 1,100 Yankee cavalrj- which
had been on a raid down the Mobile A
Ohio road, returned with a train heavily
laden with the plunder they had stolen.
They were informed that Van Dorn had
only passed an hour before with 15,000
troops. Taking a few minutes time to de
stroy their train, they took the shortest
route for Corinth, and left on fear-impell
ing wings. Meantime, Van Dorn left the
Ripley ioad to the left and took a by-way
and meandering route through the swamp,
and came within eight miles of Holly
Springs in the evening, where he bivouack
ed his force until two hours-before day,
when lie moved cautiously into town,
leaving the Texas brigade upon the heights
outside as a reserve. As our forces dash
ed in from all sides, tlie entrance proved a
complete surprise, the breaking streaks of
daylight showing the Ynntoo tents -with
their yet undisturbed slumbcrcrs. A
charge was ordered upon them, and the
torch applied to the canvas which cover
ed them. To paraphrase “Belgium’s”
picture—
“Ah, then and (here was huirying to and fio,
And running in hot haste,
And cheeks all palo anJ blanched with woe,
Exhibiting Yankee cowardice.”
The rapidity with which the tents of
the enemy were vacated was marvellous ;
and impelled by burning torches and rapid
discharges of side arms, the Yankees took
no time to prepare their toilets, but rushed
out into the cool atmosphere of a Decem
ber morning clothed very similarly to Jo
seph when the lady Potiphar attempted
to detain him. The scene was wild, ex
citing, tumultuous. Yankees running,
tents burning, torches flaming, Confeder
ates shouting, guns popping, sabres clank
ing ; Abolitionists begging foi mercy,
‘--.LAs’ shouting exultingly, women in
dishohdL dapping .4 j—- «\
with joy, crying‘kill them, kill them’—a
heterogenous mass of‘excited, frantic,
frightened human beings presenting an in
describible picture, more adapted for the
pencil of Ilograth than the pen of a news
paper correspondent -
The surprised camp surrendered 1,S00
men and 150 commissioned officers, who
were immediately paroled. And then i
commenced the work of destruction. The j
extensive building of the Mississippi Cen
tral depot, the station house, the engine
houses, and immense store houses were
tilled with supplies of clothing and com
missary stores. Outside of ihe depot the
barrels of flour, estimated half a mile in j
length, one hundred and fifty feet through J
and fifteen feet high. Turpentine was
thrown over this, and the whole amount
destroyed. Up town, the court house and !
public buildings, livery stahlo* a»4 »n «
| his splendid carriage, which was burned.
Among his papers was found a pass, to
pass the hearer over all railroads and’
steamboats in the United States, at Gov
ernment expense ; to pass all pickets and
guards; and other papers, at once, inter
esting and valuable. Mrs. Grant was also
captured, hut no indignity was offered to
her.
Nearly every store on the public square
was filled with sutler stores, and after our
men had helped themselves, the balance
of the goods were burned..
When our forces first reached the depot,
there was a train about leaving. The en
gineer jumped off and run away, and one
of our men took his place, shut the throt
tle valve, and stopped theNrain. Sixty
cars and two locomotives were then fired
and destroyed.
After the complete detraction of all
public property about the place, and after
teach man had supplied himself with a suit
able quantity of clothing and boots, at six
i o’clock in the morning the march was re-
! newed, and Davis' mill was the next place
j attacked. Here tlie enemy were entrench-
| ed, and sheltered themselves in a block
house and fort formed of cotton bales.—
’i lie cavalry were commanded to charge,
and attempted to do so, but the swamp and
intricate lagoons breaking off in front of
tlie enemy’s position would not permit it.
The Yankees opened fire with some effect
from their fort, and were supported by a
nine pound rilled gun mounted on an iron
clad railroad car, forming a railroad bat
tery.
The Texans were again ordered to
charge, and Major Dillon, of Van Dorn’s
staff, whose gallantry during the expedi
tion was particularly conspicuous, attempt
ed to lead them to the attack, but the men
refused to follow, believing the way im
passable and the position too strong for cav
alry demonstrations alone. Colonel Mc
Cullough, of the Missouri cavalry, was or
dered to get in the rear of the rail”"” 11 L)a C
tery, cut the track if event its escape,
and captuie It. I believe he succeeded in
cutting the load, hut our forces were com
pelled to withdraw, and the steam battery
was not taken. The forces then pushed
on to Middleburg and Bolivar, and attack
ed both places, but found them too strong
ly defended and garrisoned to succeed in
taking either of the points. The gallant
ry of Colonel McCullough and his com
mand, the 2d Missouri cavalry, Pinson’s
and Saunders’ .Mississippi battalions, is
especially mentioned by Major General
Van Dorn. m
Major Frank Armstrong and Major Phi
fer contributed much to the success of the
expedition, being dashing cavalry leaders
and members ot the old army, with the
rank they now hold. It is a great piece of
injustice that the Government docs not
make these daring and experienced offi
cers Brigadier Generals of cavalry, which
this army is sadly in need of. Maj. Arm-
ot.-oug will be remembered as the success-
till leader of the expedition against Deca-
I.Yli^ a3fer" of an "A rfcansas^ff§&38
at the battle of Corinth. Major Kimmell,
Major Schaumberg, and Lieutenant Sulli
van, of General Van Dorn’s staff, are high
ly complimented for thoir gallant con
duct.
Wbeu the command turned back after
its unsuccessful attack upon Bolivar, the
enemy sent a force of 10,000, comprising
the three branches of the service, out after
Van Dorn, and made giant efforts to flank
and cut off his force, but this dashing offi
cer was too wary for them, and succeeded
in returning with 400 head of captured
horses and mules, laden with spoils taken
from the enemy.
The presence of General Van Doin with

The people of Tennessee are represented
pacious establishments were filled, ceiling as having been almost frantic with joy at
hjo-h, with medical and ordnance stores.—
Tnese were all fired, and the explosion of
one. of the buildings, in which was stored
one hundred barrels of powder, knocked
down nearly- all the houses on the South
side of the square. Surely such a scene
of devastation was never before presented
to the eye of man. Glance at the gigantic
estimates
the appearance of our forces once more up
on their borders. They fed our soldiers
with a bountiful hand, and wept for joy-.
‘Thank God, you have come at last!’ one
and all exclaimed. Their hospitality was
not a little surprising to our soldiers, who
have been so uniformly swindled and ex
torted from in Mississippi. The people, of
Tennessee had been induced to believe
1,800,000 fixed cartridges and other ord- t j, at general Grant’s headquarters were at
nance stores, valued at $1,500,000,
eluding G.000 rifles and 2,000 revolvers.
100,000 suits of clothing and other quar
termaster stores, valued at $500,000 ; 5,-
000 barrels of Hour and other commissary
stores, valued at $500,000.
$1,000,(300 worth of medical stores, for
which invoices to that amount, were ex
hibited, and 1.000 bales of cotton and
SGOO.OOO worth of sutlers’ stores.
As there were no time to remove these
immense stores from the buildings contain
ing them, they were all destroyed, com
prising the Mississippi Central depot, en-
o-ine houses and store honses, the most el
egant and capacious in all the South, the
court house, livery stable, and the lar
gest buildings on the public square.
° While the capture of the camp, paroling
of the prisoners and destroying of the
stores were going#n, the 'I exas Rangers,
comprising the 9th, Gth and o(J legions,
became engaged with tlie Michigan caval
ry-, and drove them pell-mell throq^h town
and run them off north, with a considerable
loss to tlie Abolitionists, and a loss of
thirty in killed and wounded on our part.
The ladies rushed out from the houses,
wild with joy, cry ing out : ‘There’s some
at the Fair‘Grounds. Chase them, kill
them, for God’s sake!’ One lady- said •.
•The Yankee Commandant of the Post is
in my house ; come and catch him and a
search was instigated, but without success,
when the noble woman insisted that he
was there, concealed; and finally, after
much ado, the gallant [save the mark !j
Colonel Murphy, the intrepid Yankee
Commandant of ilolly Springs, was pulled
out from under his bed, and presented
himself in his nocturnal habilimeui.s to his
captois.
The Provost Marshal was also taken,
and addressing General Van Dorn, si id :
‘Well, General, you’ve got us fairly, this
time. I knowed it. I was in bed with
my wife when I heard the firing, and I
at once said, ‘Well, wife, it’s no use clos
ing our eyes, or hiding under the cover ,
we’ve gone up.’ .
Our attention was given to Grant’s head
quarters, wHich he had left twenty-four
hours before. All bis papers, charts,
Jackson, Yiiss., and that our whole army
had been captured. Judge, then, of their
surprise, when they were visited by- Van
Dorn’s command.
Van Dorn did not form a junction with
Forrest, as we were led to believe, hut
their forces were at one time within a mile
of eacii other. Forrest capture^ Trenton,
and completely destroyed the railroad
connection between Columbus and Hum-
bolt, and Van Dorn did the same between
Bolivar aud Grand Junction.
The enemy are now, beyond doubt,
forced to fall back to Jackson, and For
rest, in all probability, will accelerate
their movements towards Columbus, Ken-

Hatteras.

m-iiY years, von can partially enter into the feel-

Now, therefore, I Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States, by virtue
of the power in me vested as Commander-
in-CLief of the Army and Navy of the
United States in time of actual armed re
bellion against the authority and govern
ment of the United States, and as a fit
and necessary- war measure for suppress
ing the said rebellion, do, on this the first
day of January, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
three, and in accordance with my purpose
so to do, publicly proclaim, for the full pe
riod of one hundred days from the day
first above mentioned, order and designate
as the States and parts of States wherein
the people thereof respectively are this
day in rebellion against the United States,
the following, to-wit:
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, (except the
Parishes of St Bernard. Plaquemines, Jef
ferson, St James, Ascension, Assumption,
Terrebonne, Lafourche, St Martin, and
Orleans, including the city of New Orleans)
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
oouth Carolina, North Carolina, and Vir
ginia (except the forty-eight counties des
ignated as West Virginia, and also the
counties of Berkeley. Accomnc, Nortbainp-
ton.Ehznbeth city, York, Princess Anne
and Norfolk and Portsmouth, and which
excepted parts aro. for the present left
precisely as if the proclamation were not
issued.
And by virtue of the power and for the
purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare
that all persons field as slaves within the
said designated States and parts of said
States are, and henceforwatd shall be free;
and that the executive Government of the
United States, including the military and
naval authorities thereof, will recognize
and maintain the freedom of said persons.
And I hereby enjoin upon the people so
declared to be free to abstain from vio
lence, unless in necessary self-defence,
and I recommend to them that in all cases
when allowed, they labor faithfully for
reasonable wages. And I further declare
and make known that such persons, of
suitable condition, will be received into
the armed service of the United States, to
garrison forts, positions, stations, and oth
er places, and to man vessels of all sorts
in the said service. And upon this act,
sincerely believed to ho an act of justice:
warranted by the Constitution, upon mili
tary necessity, I invoke tho considerate
judgment of mankind, and the gracious
favor of Almighty God.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States io be affixed.
