WASHINGTON. May 30.--Every member OF
the cabinet, and it is believed every friend Of
the Government here, deplore the hasty cen
sures visited upon the War Department BY
Some of the loyal papers in the country. It
has already been stated that Mr- Wilson, in
the Senate, upon the highest authority, said
that the disposition Of our forces, which is
ecnsused, was sanctioned by the President,
and it is equally true that it WIS approved by
the whole Administration. Successes. such
as the country did not anticipate, have already
attended Mr.. Stanton's conduct Of the War
Department, and efforts are being made which
would seem to insure continuance Of them
Occasional failures and reyerses must happen,
but Mr. Btanton is not more responsible tor
these than he is entitled to the pupAc grau-
tude for the successes Of our arms.
The circuit court to-day formally refused
writ Of habeas corpus for the discharge OF an
alleged fugitive slave.
Subscriptions Of money are being pledged
for the employment of counsel to test the
legality Of the application Of the fugitive
alive law to the District Of Columbia. before
he Supreme Court of the United States.

NEW YORK, May s0.-The Eeening Post
saws: The news from Coriuth is received here
| with much enthusiasm, and it is believed that
Gen Halleck's cautious movements through
| m extremely difficult country are about to be
crowned with success.
It is thought that Beauregard has been
| obliged to retreat because Of stoppage OF
! supplies. When Com. Farragut's fleet got up
above the mouth Of the Red River Of Texas,
| the great source Of Beauregard's supplies was
cut of. and as our fleet advanced up the Mis-
sissippi, the region from which the rebels
could draw food for their great army became
less, SO that the position at Corinth became
gradually but surely untenable.

Of the Warsaw, it is probable That the great
battle is already begun
The intelligence is to twelve noon yester-

care has been taken to prevent ingress to the
lines, and each boat, on leaving the Landing,
was searched for arms and absconding SOL
diers, and other precautions taken, Indicating
that the army was On the eve Of general en-
gagement.
Day before yesterday, early in the afternoon,
firing was commenced On our right aud ex-
treme left. It WIS thought that Gems. sher-
man and Pope were preparing to move their
division still further in advance, and that they
were shelling the enemy's position to cover
the movement. The firing continued all the
afternoon and during the night, with scarcely
an inter- aptio1.

resumed and answered by the enemy with
considerable spirit and with some effect.
