We are indebted to our friend A. F. Crutchfield,
of the Petersburg Express Tor the following highly
interesting news by telegraph:
PETERSBURG, Va, April Z, 10 A. NJ.
The greatest battle of the war was fought on yes
terdav near Corinth, Miss. The Federals under
Gen. Buell. numbered $50, 600 and the Confederates
under Gems. Johnston, Beauregard and Bragg, num-
beTed 20, 900. The attack was made by the Con-
teierates at an early hour. The fight ragged all day
with terrible fury and the enemy was finally de-
teated.
The Confederates captured eight batteries at the
point of the bayonet. Many prisoners were taken.
Gen. GLADDEN. of Louisiana, los, an arm.
The latest intelligence received last night by way
of Mobile says, I" we have the enemy in tight place
and will capture or kill the whole army. e.
We learn from another reliable source, that Gen.
Johnston with his command cut through the Fed
ersl force and attacked them in the rear, while
Beauregard and Bragg attacked them in front.
This news which we hope is all true turns the tide
again in favor of the South, and may look for
more victories to follow on the heel of this. May
God grant, that they may be followed up in quick
succession, until every Yankee is driven beyond
Mason and Dxon's line.
The news from Yorktown this morning is also ia
vorable. We learn that dispatch has been receiv-
ed in this City this morning from Richmond, which
states that battle has been in progress for two days
on the Peninsula at or near Yorktown. Nothing
decisive had occurred, but so far the result to
the advantage of the Confederatcs.

morrow. Z.
Another fight in Arkansas is reported. 1t is said
that General Price has given the Federals another
vhpping-a worse beat than any he has given
them The statement however does not seem to be
we'll authenticated 1t is also said that the Ken
lucky troops in that State were rebeliing. Lin
coins late message in regard to emancipation
dissatisfaction in Missouri and Kentucky.
The papers are barren of interesting and reliable
news.
The victory at Corinth is glorious one for the
Southern cause 1t will invgorate and encourage
the South The loss of Gen. Johnston will fill the
land with mourning The loss of such men as
Johnston, McCuloch Mcintosh and zollicofer is
difficult, if not impossible, to repair.
We trust Gen. Bsauregard will be strongly rein
forced. The enemy DOUBTLESS will be.
