May Both, 1852.
During nearly all last night the moving
of cars and suppressed whistles sounding
betOkened some movement going on, but
not being an unusual occurrence, was not
considered of an extraordinary nature.
About 5 o'clock this morning several ex-
blossoms was heard. Immediately sklr-
mishers were thrown out, and a general
advance commenced. A large amount of
railroad iron. untouched, there being
some. twelve or fifteen tracks radiating
from the depot &c the entertainments with
side tracks and switches, enabling them to
troops with great rapidly. From all the
information CLEANED from prisoners, ii is
thought the evacuation commenced al
SHUTDOWN last night, the enemy ~retreating
in three direciioDs--east, west and south.
Beaureeard stated to the citizens last
night thai he intended evacuating, and TO
throw. himself on both of our TANKS. At
this hour Corinth is held by our forces,
and the cavalry are searching for The
enemy. That sent out by Gen. Pope
came upon and dispersed the enemy 8
miles below Corinth on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad, in the act of burning a
bridge, capturing 40 prisoners.
The enemy's rear guard destroyed The
depot, a few bales of cotton and a church,
and intended destroying the entire village
bu, the citizens saved some fifty houses.
They also broke open stores and burned
the contents.
A large cavalry force, under Col. FL
lott, was sent out Wednesday morning,
by a circuitout route. to destroy a bridge
on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, south
Of Corinth.
We learn from prisoners that il was
known in Corinth last night thai a large
bridge had been destroyed forty miles
south by a body of our cavalry, and that
Gen Ropes 20-pounder Parrots yester-
day eufladed their camps, killing so men
and 100 horses; also that a 30-pounder
PARROT shell thrown into Corinth by Gen.
Pope as an experiment, destroyed a loco
motive and killed the engineer.
II is thought among military men that
the destruction of the bridge south, The
uncomfortable proximity of our falling
shells, and the possibility of a Federal
success on the Mississippi, were the caus-
.es of evacuation. The enemy's works
are certainly of very great strength, and
capable of a stout resistance.
