THE SITUATION AT coRINTH-
The opinion is gaining strength that the
1arrer ,,art Of the immense rebel force at
Corin:h will be bagged" without any
general engagement With admirable skill
and pa>ience, Gen HaNeck is making his
advances so surely but so cautiously that
the enemy dare neither fight nor turn to
flee. BEFORE this date, we have no doubt,
a flank movement Of Mitchel1s division
has cut off the Ohio and Mississippi road,
south of Corinth, over which the enemy
arercceivirg their reinforccments and sup
p1ics: and we assume that we have not
long 10 wait before Gen Grant, Oh the ex-
tscme right, viii TO for the Mem
phis and Charleston road what We
trust Mitchell has done for the line that We
have named It is certain that supplies IN
the rebel camp arc scarce; when, then
their communication with the river i
stopped, the rebels must move. They
cannot advance, because they cannot leaI
over nor beat down the bayonets Of ou
centre. They cannot safely withdraw be
cause they have insufficient transportation
Staryc, surrender, or dispcrEe in squads, vii
be their only course left. We have 20 in

will attempt-most probably, however, til
latter. In any event, the day in which the

EXCHANGE OF los PRISONERS
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunal
u. F1oTnLA, Orr FoRT PnLow,

4HEtud33 olA3 <Is a. ILL.,
Upon The occasion Of the exchange Of pris-
oners mnde yesterday, the steamer L. n Ken
nett steamed down opposite Flower leland,
st ten O'Clock, a. H., in full view OF the rebel
Notifications of Fort Pillow, and there re-
mafned for nearly two hours, with Tag Of
truce flying from bow and stern, yet no atten-
ton was paid to them. No signs of life could
be seen at the fort, and no rebel f1otilla was
upon the waters within view. After waiting
the time specified without other result than
wearying Of patience and the consumption
of coal, the Kennett returned to the feet. At
little past four In the afternoon, unwonted
activity Was observed in tho tiotilla, aad the
gunbcats cast loose from their moorings.
Presently two rebel steamers appeared around
Craiahead Point, where they paused, and those
! on board bad an opportunity afforded them O.
| witnessing the unwonted activity prevailing
| in tie fleet Of their opponents. It must have
been striking and interesting picture, see1
from that position. The Kennett Eteamei
| leisurcly down the river to the Point, and dis
charged her cargo of los Confederate prison
era. for which like number Of Union mel
are to be returned to us. She then steamc
hack again, and soon afterward the rebel craft
returned, and the exhibition closed.
A heavy rain set IN last night. which was .
times varied by occasional hail storms. Th
rain continues to fall to-day, and the weathe
strongly reminds me Of that so common {
