OUR CAVALY RAIDS. Suecess of the Tuscumbia Movement. Reported Capture of Colonel Streieht and Bis Whole Command in Northern Georgia. Additional Details of Gol. Grierson’s Operations. IMMENSE DAMAGE TO THE REBELS, &e., / a, bo. ot y ‘Munyammmono, May 9, 1863. Rebel reports from Chattanooga of the 7th say that the fo:ce rent from this army under Colonel Streight, of the ‘Fifty-first Imdiana regiment, have been captured near ‘Bome, Georgia, after five battles with the enemy. This force was 60-operating with Genera! Dodge, from Corinth. Pall credence is not placed in this report, as we have Bothing from General Hurlbut on the subject. Even & ‘thie be true, Btreight ought to have captured rebels even to the number of bis own force, besides doing immense @amaje to the country through which he penetrated. A correspondent of thé Mobile Register, writing from Jackson, gives an account of the extensive Union raid - into Mississippi, and says more active measures should ave been used to check it. f A freight train was destroyed at Newton's, and all conf. munication with Meridian cut off. MURpaxm Bono, Tenn. , May 10, 1863. Despatches are in from blow, giving Colonel St: eight’s movemc nts up to the 26th uit, Colonel Streight left Tu:cumbia on that day, goog to Blunteville. At that point be had an engagement with the enemy, ‘who were pashing after him. He succeeded fm ambushing ‘he rebels, and whipping them badly. He then moved om towards Rom, to which point they were destincd. ‘The rebel statements are subsrquent to this. They Gay an overwhelming force surrounded Col. Streight, and wucceeded in capturing him. He had destroyed some Jarge iron works on Oooss river, near Georgia river. MURFREESBORO, May 10, 1863. ‘The following are the details, from the Chattanooga Rebeh of May 17, 0f the capture of Coleone!

Nine miles beyond Gadaden another. skirmish ensued, and Colonel Hathaway is reported killed. ‘Streight was finally overtaken about two miles from ‘Codar Bluff, and twenty-six from Rome. An advance of two hundred had gone towards Rome, and Were chcckel about two miles from that city by armed citizens. Forrest demanded Streights’ surrender, and Streight complied. « ‘The Rebel tells the ridiculous stories thet only four hun- dred and forty mon were in the fight, and that they cap- tured seventeen hundred, and that the force capt ured consisted of the Third Ohi», teenth Illinois, Fifty first and Seventy-third Indiana, with three companies of Ala- ‘Damiang and four mountain howitzers. Another raid into Georgia is reported by the Rebel. It @ays a force three thousand strong bad xone as far south as Talladiga, eighty miles below Romé.

Immediately upon their entrance into the place patrola were placed upon the different streets to preserve order until the arrival of the infantry, After this work ‘was accomplished Colonel Cornyn pushed forward on the heels of the fiving enemy, overtaking him at Leighton about ten miles east of Tuscumbia, Here a brisk cavalry ongagement ensued, in which tho enemy's"rear and cur avairy bad a dubious struggle of six hours duration. Colonel Cornyn, bent upon doing all the work himself, ke) t his men at it until the rebels, either from exhaustion of ody or ammunition, commenced giving way. The mo- ment this was perceived our boys went joto the work with a decked revival of courage, Now was the chosen mo- ‘ment for a charge, which was made, to the great couster mation and disorganization of the enemy. It would be difficult to give the direction of their retreat, for it appeared they disappeared at more points than the compass indicates. After the dispersion of the enemy at Leighton Colonel Cornyn returned bere, arriving this evening, to reat bis command and set out in a new direction to-morrow. The casualties of to-day's engagement amounted to five of eur men killed and wounded, whereas the enemy, from appearances, must have buried at lewst twenty on the field. Captain Ott, of the Seventh cavalry, was wounded in the ankie iu @ manner 60 serious that ampu- ' tation is said to be necessary. é It a reported here this evening that large reinforce. ments have crossed the Tennessee, and are now making their way to join Reddy'scommand.

A heavy fire of mountain artillery had been going on ever since daybreak up to the arrival of the infantry and field artillery, about noon. ‘The troops were immediately deployed in line of battle and tbe artillery put in position. A regiment was thrown out as skirmishers, muking a line ef nearly a mile ip length. The enemy on the other side made somewhat } the same disposition of his force. The battle field was a large open space,. stretching both sides of the creek, skirted by timber, running somewhat havinga mean diameter of three miles. Along the creek a narrow strip of oak and dense undergrowth divided the circle into two parts, the one side occupied by us and the other by the enemy.

The engagement commenced at cight o'clock and lasted until balf-past two. ‘Tneenemy have four batteries at Grand Gulf, one on the rock around which the waters of the Big Black Sow into the Mississippi, and threo below, about midway be- tween the water and the snmmit of the binffs. In the | former they have placed four. heavy guns, aod in the three latter two and three each, with parapets, embsa- sures and rifle pits. The upper guns are very large, throwing shot and shell weighing one bundred pounds. | The lower guns are mostly thirty-two-pounders. ‘The Benton opened the fight, followed by the other gan- boats in eapid succession. At first they stood off at long -Tange, and fired at a distance of a mile and more; but as the fire became warm they ‘pressed closely to the bluff, and passed and repassed the batteries, broadsides upon the fort whenever they came in position. For six hours were the gunboats firing and receiving fire, until the gradually ceasing ex plosions of the evemy indicated their desire to terminate the eugagement.

There were twenty persons on board. Only one is known to haveescaped. Nothing had been heard of the remainder at Milliken’s Bend up to Tuesday night. If they reached either shore they were probably captured, as the rebels occupied the point of the peninsula at the time, having crossed over for the purpose of inter. cepting any barges that might be floating down. The Bulletin also says that General Grant bas sent 1,900 prisoners to Milliken’s Bead.

We have been relieved somewhat of the super- Abundance of secession sympathizers this morning by the departure of some thirty families for ‘‘Becersia.’’ At half-past eight they took their departure, going upon the cars to Core Creek, © distance of eighteen miles, where they are left by our forces to find their own transporta- tion where they can. All persons are allowed to take ‘their persona! property, with stores suificient to last them one month, or until they can reach their destination. Seven platform cars were loaded with their personal pro- perty, the most prominent among which were large boxes, trunks, furniture of overy description, bedding, everything pertaining to it, provisions, &c., &c. Most of the ‘finer sex’’ showed but little dissastisfac- tion in complying with this drder; but among the sterner sex thore was a feeling of regret. One person in particu lar, who has been looked upon as one of the most violent secessionists, acknowledged that he was wrong; but hay ing consigned himself, there was naught to do but suffer the consequences. He had trusted too much on our for- bearance, and when too late found himself mistaken. This is, we believe, but the commencement of a thorough work to be performed in this department. Reports say information was sent to tho rebels that a flag of truce would leave to-day to convey their friends outeide of our lines, so that their forse might meet it and furnish transportation for ther goods; but their actions indicate a different policy ;for, on the 4th inst., they burnt the bridge at Core Creek, #0 that now their friends, with al) thetr goods, must be left on this side of the crock. There is,no doubt, a bitter fecling and secret distrust against them within Secessia, as they bave only left our lines when forced to by a general order, aud they will be watched with a jealous eye, and with hardly as much charity a8 their so-called ‘Buffaloes’ would receive. ‘This ae at six o'clock @ very interesting scene transpired the house of oue who had beos ordered to leave the place.
