Battle at COrinth, Miss.
\ severe battle was fought on the 81 and 4th of
October. at Corinth, Miss, resulting in a decisive
victory for the Union forces. As usual, the rebels
outuumbered their opponents. The forces Of Rose
Grams were attacked by the combined forces of Price,
Van Dorm and Lowell, and the assault was pressed
with desperate determination, with a view of crush
ing Rosecrans, before the arrival Of the divisions Of
Hurlbut and Ord. But they were met with equal
resolution and superior geueralship, and after n
bloody struggle, compelled TO retreat, leaving their
dead, wounded and many prisoners. The Union loss
IS also heavy. RJsecrnus was promptly in pursuit,
and. At the date Of the latest advices from that
quarter. the enemy appeared to be caught between
the fork of the HaIchie river. The victory achieved
by Rosecrans at Corinth and Hatchie river is con-
hrmed. The rebels themselves admit that they were
defeated. The piercing Of the centre, was permitted
on the first day by Rosecraus for the purpo e of draw
ing on the rebels. Into the trap they fell, and a
whole brigade of them was captured. 1t is refresh
ing TO hear of siratagem in a battle on our side. 1t
has not been resorted 10 very frequently by our Gen
erals IN this war, because, probably, they expect to
capture by main strength. and in ONE cases, stupid
ity. Two thousand Of the rebels in these engage
ments were taken prisoners, and the balance demon
allied.
