The railroad scuth of Murfreesboro is believed to he uninjured; also the road between Mar- freesboro and Orryille Creek. Five miles north from thereto Orrville the road was de- etroyed. Biock-honses Nos. 5 and 6 were abandoned by the garrison, the enemy sur- roundirg them, but they bravely fought their eed out and reached Marfreesboro without Oss. On Sunday, the ith instant, the block-hous> at Orrville Creek was atiacked by General Bates’s rebeldivision, with a battery of artil- lery. Seventy-four shots were fired a it, do- ing, however,no damage. Onthe same after- neon, three regiments and a section of artillery went from Murtreesboro, under General Mil- roy. The enemy’s force was unknown. Onr ps attacked and routed the enemy. The Federal joss was four kilied afid forty wound- ed. The enemy's Jossis unknowa.

Seven regiments and 4 batiery were sen on the Salem pike, where they encountered tht eremy near Wilkingon’s pike, entrenched be- bind breastworks of logs and rails. They at tacked ard entirely routed the rebels, who were driven off in great confusion, Forrest's cavalry Maliog & race’ against hurry to: scape Our lose in the engagement was thirty killed and eeventy-live wounded. The enemy's loss largely exceeded ours in this fight. We cap tured two hundred and seven prisoners, inclu. ding eighteen commissioned officers. Two 12-pounders, Napoleon guns, were cap- tured. One is now in position on the fort Previous to Milroy’s attack on the rebels, Buford’s division of -ayalry attacked Mur- treesboro, und entered the town, shelling it fierceiy #nod destroying many houses. Gen. Roueseav, with one regiment of intautry and arlilley, droye the enemy outof the town.
