FROM THE ARMY IN TENNESSEE
From the Chicago Trijwe's letter Of May
(, from Shiloh, VIC take the following


From the Chicago Trijue's letter Of May
(, from Shiloh, VIC take the following
With regard to a general action, it must be re-
membered that the country between this point and
C0rinth is very thickly wooded, and also inter-
sected by raEines and gullies, for the most par,
filed with an underground Of timber and brush,
in itself almost impenetrable 10 infantry e1cep,
in Indian file; anything like deployins into line
Of battle is Of the question, at least until the
brush is cut away and clear space thus prepared.
Corinth must therefore be regularly
approached; and no doubt 1t will be as regularly
defended.
Three dcserieTs from the enemy came in yester-
day, / were taken to headquarters. They are Penn
sylyania men, and one Is from Wisconsin. They
confirm all accounts have heretofore heard and in
formed you of in my letters to the great strength
Of the place. They say the number Of troops there
cannot be figured down below 100000, and that
the rebels place the figures as high 10000.
They say the Notifications are from to miles IN
extent, from right TO left; that they consist Of
siege guns in position, supposed to DO p and 81
pounders-some rifed; that there are also eu.bTa-
for field pieces, bastions breastworks for in
fantry, lunettes and riae-pits in advance Of the
whole.
Our cavalry must number from ten to fifteen
thousand, say a figure between the two. Il Is
commanded by from al have heard of him. a
great energy dash and Of known personal cour-
age. Gen. Andrew Jackson Smith chafes Under
the restraints Of his position, and is most eager to
DO something to bring this heretofore most expen-
sive and most useless Of the service into play.
When the attack in front commence, Gen. Smitn
will take up his position with at least ten thou
sand mounted men-the largest force Of cavalry
ever brought into the fell on this contineut-and
the blow tsat he will strike, II his men come up
to the expectations of their General. will not be
the least effective Of the general enga gemeut.-
With this force Of cavalry, over three hundred
pieces Of artillery and one hundred thousand in
faatry, surely something worthy Of the great army
Of the Northwest will be accomplished.
There is a great deal Of sickness here. At Sa-
vannah there are $500 men in the hospitals, and
a. Hamburg 1900. In the regimentai hospitals
there cannot be less than fifty from each regiment
sick and unfit for duty. This would render in all
nearly nine thousand men out Of this army in
hospital or sick. You can imagine what will be
the increase Of this number when the wounded,
after a general action, are aidei to it,

The Santa Fe mail has arrived with Fort

a short time. The Texans were on the re-

Had She been completed no federal vessel

Our informant states that there is feel
ing of profound evaporation against the ad-
ministratIon and its agents. The people
feel that they have been Systematically tri-
fled with and sacrificed. When the Yankee
officers landed, five Sicillans who chccred
them were shot down by the crowd.
All who showed any signs of favor were
knocked down as traitors. The feeling was
intense. All the cotton was burned, and all
the tobacco, except that claimed by the
French government. The sugar and molas-
sas remains in the city, as private property,
in immense quantities. Much, however, is
on the plantations, the crop being very
large.

the cons quences mentioned by the EtamiH-

Richmond, it is the most important city IF
the ccnicderacy, and losing 1t we should be
more crippled than by the loss Of any other
city. Indeed, we do not perceive how Rich

the james river opened 10 the enemy's fleet
and Mcclellan and Burnside permitted to
unite their forces. The McrTimac may not
be lost by the loss Of Norfolk, but her mac

think that she was 50 badly injured in the

appointment was sever Q lameness; but We are
pleased TO learn that two weeks of quiet rcpose

of her appearance. Every one Is on the qui
rirc TO see this charming fairy. Her dancing
ia said to DO the embodiment of graCefulness,
coquetry, and nexibilty of person, illustrating
al the charms of motion, music, and passion.
IT Is. perhaps, the first time In this city that we
have had 4 genuine Spanish danseuse. The
press Of Baltimore and Philadelphia pronounce
her the most beautiful woman ever seen on the
stage In those cities, and wo predict for her
great success In this city. The perform once
will commence with a favorite farce by the
