Some of the troops
that are going out on an expedition to Meridian, started on their way this
morning. It is rumored that the Seventeenth and Sixteenth Army Corps are to
make a raid across the State of Mississippi for the purpose of destroying the
railroad running from Vicksburg to Meridian, and that General Sherman is to be
in command of the expedition.
