the county through which they retreated they burned all the residences and barns. They also destroyed the little town of Tallapoosa, six miles west of Holly Springs, as they passed through it. On yesterday, from the cupola of the court-house in Holly Springs, the smoke of as many as fifteen or twenty fires could plainly be seen all along the route of their retreat, and it is believed not a single residence or barn in that part of the country has escaped them. On Wednesday last 25,000 infantry and cavalry, with ten pieces of artillery, passed through this place, taking the road to Wyatt, a mile south of us, and it was greatly feared they would return this way and destroy what is left of Holly Springs, but they did not do it. It is said our soldiers, while at Colliersville, captured enough boots and shoes and other quartermasters' stores to last them through the winter.--It was also reported that Gen. Sherman was on the train captured at Colliersville, but made his escape.
