From Our q rectal Correspondent,
CAIRO, Oc'. 81, 1862.
The principal topic Of conversation just At the
moment is the prospec. Of another battle at or neGr
Corinth.
We had supposed the Rebels would have been
contented with The severe punishment they received
on the occasion OF the last fight, bat Il appears we
were mistakeu.
For ssveral weeks past we have heard the most
exrrayagant rumors Of the gathering of the enemy
at Holly Syringe, Of the coming together there OF
the conscrips, and the crossing Of troops from Ar
kansas 10 these rumors but little attention was
paid; bu, now when the Rebel army, to, 900 -
5000 strong, ia marching upon Conntb, and
already upon the ground recently consecrated
by the blood Of the martyrs, It begins TO look like
terrible reality.
Generals Price and Pemt erton are already within
cannon-souud Of Corinth. Last night, rs ! learn
by private tele gram from Corinth, our pickeis were
driven IN at Chepalla. This, although not proof
postiye that the attack viii be- immediate m ysssis
an alarming oegrse Of proximity. Tue packets
probably fell back before large reconnoiieIing
force but 1t Is hardly probable that !. cone;ituted
the advance Of tie army proper.
The onemvs movement has been unlo!tuua'e IN
this. that being made from Ripley aud Holly Springs
in "A north-easeIly direction, bofh Bolivar and
s~fh

.cirt Ihs Il course prevents TIE concentration Of
troops AZ either Bolivar or Corlnth.
TIE fact j., the Department las TOO long neglected
Gen. Grant. lie shoud bave received Teeniorcc-
Ii nts long ago. OF cOnrse it would DO improper TO
Indicate tho number Of troops at h.s command, but It
il much too little Tor the lccted 10 be ACCOM-
Il.shed.
Corinih has been vigorously fouih a FOR several
weeks Large and important IcdoI5it Lave becn

thousand men can hold the portion agains. eighty
thousand.
IL isr not altogether certain that the enemy intend
20 attack Corinth. Some pretend TO believe that tho
movement in that direction Is 4 fcini intended 70

Animportant expedition starts to-day from For,

The United States military mail, heretofore under
the superini. i.ndenoe Of Capt. Thinner, day or

From Jackson learn nothing new or startling.
