ISpecial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
Cairo, Sept 20, 1862.
It has been known several days to
xbe initiated that q great battle was
on the tapis in the vicinity of Corinth,
but considerations of public policy has
prevented mention till now. Gen.
Grant has moved on the enemy's works
successfully. He has given Gen. Price
and his legions sound thrashing. The
intelligence is not so full as we desire,
but this appears to be the substance Of
il.
Day before yesterday with Gen.
Rosecrans' army of the Mississippi,
formerly Gen. Pope's army corps,
marched from Corinth in the direction
of Iuka. Here they met Gen. Price
with Is, 900 men, who was making for
Passport, with the evident intention OF
fording the Tennessee River at Muscle
Shoals, to join Bragg's army. Yester-
day afternoon at O'clock heavy Skin
mishing commenced, aud was contin-
ued, till nightfall, when darkness COM
PEELED suspension OF battle.
- Early this forenoon the fight was re-
newed, and continued till noon, when
abe enemy gave way and took up line
: of retreat to the southwark. The fight
ing was done mostly by Gen. Stanley's
division of Rosecrans' army. The loss
to,the federal side is, in killed and
wounded, not far from 500. The rebel
loss is not ascertained but is supposed
to largely exceed that number.
Among the rebel casualties is one
general killed and one severely woun-
ded. We took about 500 prisoners.
Our army is in full pursuit, and hopes
are entertained that we shall be able
at least to capture the enemy's artillery.
