“Movements of the Enemy”

“Tupelo, July 29.-The enemy made a demonstration on our front today with a cavalry force. It is supposed the movement was made with the intention of destroying the railroad track at some point above. If so, the movement has been anticipated and the designs of the Yankees frustrated. Our forces extend north of Guntown. “
