By a private letter jus.recsived from Pitts
burg Landing, dated on the evening OF the
25th inst, learn that the entire army Is
advancing. The battle cannot be long de-
Isyed unless the rebels run. The report was
current brought in by deserters, that Beau
regard was eYacusting Corinth, and had re
treated towards Grand Junction, between
Oorinth and Memphis. The recent recon.
noisancs would serve to discredit this state
ment. The grand army is on the move.
