TIE EVACUATION or CoRRrH-AFvAIRs MEMPHIS.
-"Personne," the intelligent correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, in a letter dated Memphis, May
2etb, Gays:
hazard nothing in sayDg that Corinth is now evac-
usted, and our army has fallen back upon new line
or details, / have no knowledge save that the move
ment successfully conducted that not only the
enemy up the last hour not OF the fack,
and that citizens only five miles distant were equally in
the dark. The town Was not burned Three valuable
railroad bridges over the Cypress, Tuscumbia aud
Hatchie rivers between Cornth and Pocahontas wers
destroyed and by some Misrepresentation the part Of
the managers Of the Memphis and Charleston Road four
trains and switch locomotives were caught the
other side Of the bridges. These OF cous, had kswae
to be burned, which was done by the officers Of the
road.
Tho Federals had brought their entertainments 80
near our own that while the evacuation was quietly GO
ing on they throwing shells into the very heart OF
the town One of these exploded near the head OF an
engine damaging the cowcatcher and breaking the leg

went into tent and killed q sleeping soldier. These
are the only casualties that have TO my knowledge

than usu loss and withdrawn under cover Of the
night.
Public judgment, though it may be startled by this
unexpected change in the attitude of the Confederate
army will soon recognize both its importance and ne.
cessity With the enemy advancing upon US by sys.

timing successful defence and no probability OF being
able TO whip the enemy from their works, we had no
other recourse than TO drop quietly back II point
where these difficulties would not be enci untered. The
effect upon us will be general improvement not only
Of physical health but military position. Where the ar
my now is, must NOT cay, but i: ia in situation where
good ia abundant where camping grounds will not

NAV be fought clearly and with understanding. The
Eject upon Haleck will be puzzing and harrassing in
the extreme. His plans have received summary
check He must pursue us or fall tisgrscetGly back

for allowing Beauregard to slip glby through his n
gers As be advances sickness will iGcresse, obstacles
will grow greater at every STEP the expense OF trans
porting provisions overland fifty sky miles will be
enormous, aud, in u word, he will tad himself In
slough of despoud from which there IL 10 Yankee
ingenuity, no possible e1trcaton.
These are some of the reasons why the evacuation Of
Corish is really "blessing in Disguise" And do not
believe there s gentleman in the army Who compre
bending the causes by which it induced is not fully
satisfied with the movement.
Communication with the army and this city being Gu
off there is recen. intelligence from its vicinity OF

s stores all the has been burned the sugar either
destroyed or away and order issued tina. per
son chs have hand than fifteen hogsheads at

the postoce follows the way Of all Confederate flesh.
All these facts WCud seem to indicate that the Gov
renmeut has no further use for Memphis. Well, yeL-
ture to say there streak Of Union sentiment here
broader than in any city South OF Mason aud DiIon's
line aud this Is probably tue reason why the Govern
mcnt is so s,vere U1lon meetings are secretly held
every week and the element of Danger Is being
fully fostered aud nursed into full strength ready for
the Federal advent venture 10 say further, that FED
