From the Snn Antonio Herald.
I During the pust week, ou flissV'en
rendered quite lively, by tlie i.irist daily
arrivals of long watioii trains -of cotton,
westward bound. To whom it aII belong*
we cannot say. but we presume the most of
the supply now en route for Mexico, is mov-
ed on privntf account
■h We notic« a goodly number of onr ine^
chants are constantly in the receipt of fres™
supplies of goods. We a gue from this
that tiade mast be pretty brisk with h m,
wlu-re there is no soiling, there is no need of
buying.
Those of our reader* abroad who will
take the trouble to examine the prices cur-
rent, will see that goods ca« be purchased
in this ma ket, nearly as low as in limwiis-
ville, and really much Ipwer, than parties
can go from the up country, o from Eas-
tern T-xas to Brownsville, make their pur-
chases and return The merchants of this
city, have the means of coutrolitig trans-
portation from here Weit. at a much better
advantage than can be done by anybody
else, aud hence the difference.
lu audition to the general supply of goods,
we notice that our city market is well sup-
plied with toeat aud all kni'ls of winter
Vtgetables—large quantities of fresh pork
has been coming in. during the recent cold
spell—pork sells at five cems. per lb.

The Marshall Republican has a call for a
public meeting to denounce the moves in
that county of a document favoring recon-
struction. It is not a little strange that in
Harrison county, the wealthiest slavehold-
y. ing county in the State, an atnouut of ig-
norance sufficient to engender such a move-
menl should exist, and there an atnouut of
folly sufficient to count, nance it should be
found. We wish ihe public meetiug called
in the Republican God speed.
The Republican says:
We are requested by the agent of the
I'obtoffice Department, to state that tho use
of tweuiy cent stamps, by halving tlirui,
tor pre-puyiueut ot single rate letter post-
age, will be recoguiaed aud allowed uutil
further uoticn.
. The following account of the retreat of
Hood from Tennessee we find iu the Re-
publican. It is the first lucid statement of
that campaigu we have seen:
We had the pleasure of a visit from Mr.
N. Gregg, of tue 3rd Texas. Hood's army,
who w<is severely wouuded in tue Oauie of
Franklin, I'euu., aud permitted to return
home for a short period u cousequeuce —
His account of tue situation of affairs iu
the army to wbub he belonged is quite in-
teresting, aud what is of importance may
be implicitly elied ou. (
Mr Gregg left Hood's army between
luka and Uoriulh, ou tbe 31st of Decem-
ber, and crossed tus MissiSMUpi river ou
the loib of Jauuary. Iu toe battle of
Franklin. oi the With ot November. Hood
drove the eo«*my from every position, kil-
ling betwoon 430 and 51 Ml. wounding 2*00
or 30(H), and capturing GOO prisoners. Our
lo"8 unfortunately, w^s as great as their*.
The enemy retreated in confusion to Nash-
ville. where their army w a hetvily roin-
♦oicel, aud another engagement occurred,
occupying two days, the 15th and ltith of
December. The first day tbe enemy sue
ceeded iu turning our left wing The
second oay they massed their force in elev-
en lines of battle u,.on our centre, which
they broke, alter heavy fighting, driving
our army iu confusion from the field.—
Hood lost abmiKft pieces of artillery, and
about 5.(i01 prisouers. The loss in killed
aud wouuded w t about the same as at
thu batt le of Frauklin. Our army retreat-
ed to Columbia, about forty miles from
Nashville, where it stopped for a day. At
Melalord Hill, four miles north ofColum
bia, Hood succeeded in ch< eking the ene-
my. capturing prisoners and a tew pieces
of artillory. Retreated from thence to
Linuvill , where Forrest chet ked the ene-
my, agaiu capturing artillery and prison-
ers. The let rent was then conducted
quietly, the enemy's cavalry annoying our
aiuiy until it lelt the turnpike at Pulaski,
after which there was uo molestation until
it crossed the Tennessee at Decatur,on the
2rth and 2^tii <>f December About tbe
time of crossing the Tennessee, the enemy
captured a pontoon train, and a number of
wagons belonging to the supply train.

One ot her orew arrived and reports ihat

she is a to al wreck, 'lost of her oari;o

about one-t nth is saved, ba'anoe s'oleo by
soldiers and ci'izens. The vetsel is a to-
tal loss. A fchonner m reported beached
near Valasco. The G >verument steamer
Wren, trim Havaua, attempted to
tun ihe blockade la-t night, and got
ashore opposite the College.—
The blockaders discovered the Wren at day-
light and tired 3D shots at her from 8 to 9
o clock, all of them falliog short. At 9 A
M. a flag of truce wan raised by us aud
auswered by tbe enemy. Our truce boat
went out at 9 1-2 a. m., and has not return-
ed yot. The blockade™ are taking posi
tion apparently to recommence shelling of
tlio Wren after the expiration of flag of
truce. Should the Wren escape destruction
by shelling until night, it is hoped Rhe may
be saved. No later news by the Wren.
