We learn through a gentleman who arrived from Columbus, yesterday, that Gen. Chatham’s brigade had returned to Columbus from Mayfield. The 154th regiment, it will be recollected, composes a part of the brigade. The same gentleman says that matters are quiet at Columbus.—Memphis Avalanche.
We learn that Gen. Cheatham’s Brigade left Mayfield Wednesday night, and arrived at Columbus the next day. The want of a sufficient supply of wholesome water was the cause of this change of position. The General had been ill with chills and fever, but recovered.
