1'ht R-trial ef Price Slaughter among Uu
' Rtbeli at Cypresi Crick. ,
We learn from Jackson, Mississippi, thai the
bridge across Cypresi Crick was burned by the,'
enemy, and our forces wer nof aware of its des
truction till they arrived at the creek, on their
retreat. Tbey were there forced to run down
the creek, and cross at the mill dam, where the'
imy had a commanding poaition. ,
The slaughter of our troops at this point was
very heavy. The oversight consisted fn the
neirlert to destroy the railroad loading from
Corinth To Columbus arid Cairo, which enabled
the Federals to run reinforcements during tba1 -entiro
night previous to tbe retreat. ,
