1t is to be supposed therefore, that he was
thoroughly informed. But the main purpose Of this
order to Mr.. Megcer was to verify the reports he
had previously received, and perhaps to learn by
communication with the Rebel leaders, with several
of whom Mr.. Mcreier was already acquainted,
whether there was not an opening for an amcable
settlement of the American difficulty.
As do not think the time has yet come when

TIE ADVANCE on CORINTH.

A correspondent of Tie 81. Louis Democrat under
date Of May 10, writes as follows from before
Corinth:
One curious feature of the advance now is that
Of throwing works Of defense Up along the whole
hue. The fortiications completed to-day cannot be
lees than II miles ia length, extending from the ex
trerne right to the extreme left wing. They are
strongly made with logs and earth, lined by rifle
pits, and distant from Coripih Elk miles. Every
movement is characterized by extreme caution.
Tomorrow the lines advance four miles, when
another parallel will be constructed. In case any
reverse should happen these defenses would be In
valuable.
The people are doubtless surprised that their great
army has not vet reached the Rebel position and
attacked it. The reasons OF tho present delay are
known only to General lialieck. Doubtless they
are good and sufficient. Everything here would
seem TO be In readiness-the roads good, and the
army as much pref ared as il ever will be. All the
heavy guns are safely iii front, end can easily be
moved any distance wished. Perhaps the Com
mander-n-Chief is waiting for the Cult Fleet TO oc-
cdpy Memphis, or when reaching Nicksburg TO de-
stroy the railroad at jackson. Something foreign
from here evidently Influences him.
In regard TO the enemy at Corinth 1t ia by no
means certain the main body has not retreated as at
first reported. Their demonstrations may be simply
blinds The tales OF deseters yet continue strangely
conflicting on the subject. As matters now atald
battle may at any moment, yet be avoided for
o week.
10 show how puzzIing are the enemy g movements
the following is proof: Yestel ley dispatch was
received at headquarters from the lett wing, that
the enemy were eyacuatine. An instant later came
another from the right that they were advancing
there in force, threatening an attack.
Our offensive movements begin 70 resemble those
lately at Yorktown, approaching the enemy's works
rs ii siege was intended, and indeavorlng 70 acbieNe
complete victory with as little oss OF life pos
sibe. 1t is more than probable the two resnlis will
be similar In regard to efficiency, nothing more
could be wished tor regarding the force here. IL Is
healthy, well armed, aud disciplined, end supplied
as few armies have been before. II it fails 10 gain
victory it will be difficult TO imagine any troops we
no,sess capable OF succeeding.
