The Atlantis Confederacy Of the 4th says
Indications point strongly TO battle coming on
ct Corinth at an early day, which, for the majes-
y Of the forces engaged, will eclipse any that
ever trsnspired in America. Our Judgment is
that the Yankees have nearly 160, 600 men

We have some fears for the result There Is
such thing as being utterly overwhelmed with
numbers against which We can provide no

CINCINNATI, May 13.--The Commercial has the
following southern news
The Memphis Avalanche Of the 9th says: Tel.
egraphic news from Richmond is powerfully sig.
nifcant. Mcclellan seems to have been prepsr-
ing the same fate for Richmond that Butler and
Porter got up for New Orleans.
The Avalanche of the same date says the city
officers of New Orleans-Mayor Monroe and all
the Aldermen-have been arrested, and on re.
fusing to take the oath. were sent to prison.
Great distress prevails in the city. Food OF
all kinds is extremely scarce Flour is not to be
had at any price. r.,
There is more of the Federal force yet to be
landed, and the river is full of Federal gunboats
mortars and transports.
The Avalanche says the Congressional STAN
pede from Richmond had very depressing eff
feet, and it is believed it foreshadowed the early
evacuation of Virginia. The policy of evaoua
. ton is nearly played out. We have but precious
little more territory that We can spare.
The Memphis Argus says the Confederate losl
at Shiloh was seven thousand killed ani
wounded.
The Memphis Argus ip an article on gunboat
. says thus far it must be confessed our attempts
with gunboats on rivers have been disgusting
. 6zzle. People know it.
The Government correspondent of the Mem
phis Avalanche says thlrty-three per cent o
Bishop Folks army was killed and wounded a
I. Shiloh. n~
The Avalanche Of the 7th says, We have I'D
vices from New Orleans up to Saturday IL P. N
General Butler had taken the st. Charles Hote
for his ead-quarters. The Evans House, OF
Poidrss street, has been converted into hos
pital. So

The Federal pickets have been extended on
as far Is the crossings of Jefferson and Jackson
Railroads.
Four gunbeats and one transport started fo

All the newspapers in New Orleans are still
published though Federal censorship is placed
over Offices to examine all matter and exclude
whatever may prove inimicable to the Fedora
cause.
The proclamation of Gen, Butler was handed
in at all the Offices and refused; when the GUARD
came to the True Delta Office and were refused
, they took possession and sent for northern prin
tiers who set it up and worked it of in the edi
