Nine hundred contraband men, women, and children had arrivec trom Alexandria, La. Officers of steamers from Red river report a considerable fight 33 miles above Alexandria, on the 2th, between Gen. Smith's forces, con- sisting of 8,4 infantry under Generals Mowes and Dudley, arid Lee's cavalry and Dick Tay- lor’s forces, estimated at 12,000 strong, posted on an advantageous pusiton. The fight lasted about three hours. Our loss is reported to be 18 killed and about 6) wounded; that of the rebels much greater, some placing it at 20 killedand wounded. We captured 500 prison- ers, and others are still being brought in. Dud- Jey’s brigade in advance greatly distinguished themselves. Our troops did not halt on the battle ground, but pushed on in pursuit of the retreating foe, and no rest would bé given the rebels. It was Gen Smith's design to force the ene- my to make a stand, and defeat them iu 4 Pitched battle if possible. A considerable number of deserters have en- tered our lines.

One of them says Forrest on the 26th marched between Padacah and Mayfield, ay) disbanded the ‘id, Th and sih Kentucky rebel cavalry, end por. mitted the members to go home. Two hundred revels are reported to be in the vicinity of the Hermitage, attacked a camp of “wood-choppers on the soath side of the Cam. derland myer. A force las been sent ont to ‘capture them. The story of Forrest officers having crossed into Indiana to excite the people to revolt is discredited here. About 40 guerrillas entered Shelby ville, Ky., at 1 o'clock this morning, and stole seyen horses from Middleton's stables, and broke open the Branch Bank of Ashland, but before they vonld riflé it of its contents they became alarmed et the proxim of the [2th Ohio cay- alry and decamped. They haye been depreda- ting about here ior the past two weeks, The Testot them were srrested and confined in the Tay Joreyilte jail on Jast Frinayybut on Sanday their comrades made an attack on the jail and released them. | VORREST’S LOCAL NEWS. ’TOWN.—Clenred.—Schrs.
