LATER FROM CORINTH,
The Evacuation.
Dispatch From General Hallock.

CoRiSrH, May 30.
IL is now ascertained that the evacuation
commenced night before last, the enemy re-
treating southwark until they reached the
railroad bridge, which was burned by de-
tachment Of our forces, whence they went to
Grand Junction, and thence southwark on
the jackson Railroad. Some ladies and sew
eral citizens remain here.
II is ascertained that Van Dorm had band
of Indians under him. Col. jackson reports
finding the road for several miles strewn with
knapsacks and hayersacks, arms and cantcens,
showing great Generalization. The woods
are full OF stragglers, who are being brought
in as fast as possible. Probably between
1000 and 5000, including almost the entire
18th Louisiana regiment, are in our lines
now. Many OF them are deserters, and the
balance have been captured since the evaeu-
alton. :,
A United States military telegraph line
was completed TO this point to night.

To Hon. f. VI. Stanton, Sec. Of War:
The enemy's position and works in front
of Corinth were exceedingly strong. lie
cannot occupy u stronger position in isu'Sht'
This morning he destroyed an immense
amount public and private property, stores
provisions, wagons, tents, &c. For miles
from the town. the roads are filled with arms
haversaoks, &C., thrown away by his fleeing
troops.
A large number Of prisoners and deserters
have been captured, estimated by General
Pope at 1000. General Beauregard evident
ly distrusts his army or he would have de-
Tended so strong a position. His troops gen
erally are much discouraged and demoraliz-
ed. In all the engagements for the last lew
DAYS their resistance has been weak.

WASHINGTON. june L.
The following dispatch was received at the
War Department this afternoon
"FIKLD or BATTLE, juno LIZ NJ.
We have had a desperate battle, in which
the CORPS OF Generals Sumner. Heintzelman,
and Reyes have been engaged against great
ly superior numbers. Yesterday at o'clock
the enemy taking advantage OF terrible
storm, which had flooded the valley OF the
Chickahominy, attacked our troops on the
right flank. Gen. Casey's division, which
was in the first line. gave way unaccountab'
ly and disuuitedly. This causeda confusion,
during which the guns and baggage were
lost, but Generals Heintzelmen and Kearney
most calamity brought up their troops,
which checked the enemy. 1T the same
time, however, we succeeded by great exer-
ton in bringing across Generals Sedgwick
and Richardson's divisions, who drove back
the enemy at the point OF the bayonet, COW
criny the ground with his dead. ThismOrn
ing the enemy attempted to renew the con-
fiict. but was everywhere repulsed. We
have taken many prisoners. among whom Is
Gen. Pettigrew and Colonel Long. Our loss
is heavy, but that OF the enemy must be
enormous. With the exception of Gen. Ca.
ssy's division, the men behaved splendidly.
Several fine bayonet charges have been made.
The ID EXCELSIOR regimen, made two to-day.

MajGen. Commanding"

about 2O0O feet. Telegraphic communica-
ton from tho balloon to Gen. Mcclellan aud
in direct connection with the military wires
was successfully maintained, Mr.. Park Spring
of Philadelphia acting Us operator.
Every movement Of the enemy was IN.

first time in which balloon reconnaissance
has been successfully made during battle,
and certainly the frrt time in which tele-
graph station has teen established in the air

GIGANTIc Birds NEsr-Mr. Gould de
scribes the Wattled Talegalla, or bush
Turkey, of Australia, as adopting the most
extraordinary process Of didification. The
bird collects together m irnrncuSe heap Of
decaying vegetable matter as tlrer deposi-
tory Of their eggs, and trusts to the heat
engendered by decomposition for the de-
.velOpement of them. The heap employ
ed for this purpose is collected by the
bird during several weeks previous to the
period Of laying. 1t varies in size from
two to four carloads, and is Of q perfectly
pyramidal form. Several birds work ut
its construction, not by using their bills,
but by grasping the materials in their
feet and throwing them back to one coul-
mon centre. In this heap the birds bury
the eggs perfectly upright, with the large
end upwards; they are covered up as
they are laid, and allowed to remain until
hatched when the young birds are cover
ed with feathers, instead. of down, as is
usually the case. 1t is not unusual for
the natives to obtain nearly a bushcl Of
eggs at one time from single heap; and
they are eagerly sought after as well as
the flesh. The birds are very stnFid and
easily fall victim to the sportsman, and
will sit aoft, and allow succession Of
shots to be fired at them until they are
brought down.

grand army by contracting agent f6r The
Government, take sip Of coffee from

and hasten to pen my dispatch.
On Wednesday morning, my boy, the
army here was reinforced by a very fat
man from Boston, who said he had been
used to Beacon street all the days of his
life, and considered the State House some
what superior to ST. Peters at Rome. He
was very fat man, my boy eight hands
high, six and half hands thick, and his
head looked like full moon sinking in
the west at FIVE o'clock in the morning.
lie said he joined the army to fight for
the Union and cure the asthma, and Col,
Wobert Wobinson thought(ully remarked
that he thought be could grease pretty

short: who's been sending artillery into

There's no artillery here, my boy

WELL says he, then what's that gun
carriage doing here?' l,
explained TO him that what lie took
for gun carriage was fat patriot black

The Rainy Day.

The dav is cold, and dark, and dreary.
1t rains, and the wind isnever weary;
The vines still cling to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark, and dreary,
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past
But the hopes youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.

Thy fate is the common fate OF all
Into each life some rain must fall
Some days be dark and dreary.

: MARITAL LAw.,-The American people
have lived so long in hliSsful ignorance Of
this form of law, that it is not surprising
they ask what is meant by it. Martial
law is the application of code of laws,
intended for the army alone, not to citizens.
The Duke Of Wellington gave the best def.
initIon oft, when, upon one occasion, he
was asked what was meant by it. 1t
means, said he, that am to do exactly
what please.
