Our local business has necessarily suffered
during the past year, particularly that to and
from the Delaware Rail Road. The business for
the Government has been so irregular, and has
been so urgent when ii came, that il has absor
bed the use of nearly all our cars, to the detri.
ment of our usual business. The consequence
las been, that the apparent loss on the Delaware
Rail Road has been larger than it would have
been otherwise by our inability to do the service
required on that road. We trust now soon to be
able to answer all reasonable demands for cars
on that road as well as on our own.
The new sdings We have been obliged to lay
since April last, to enable our long trains to pass

FROM PITTsBuRGH LANDING.


Movements in the vicinity of PITTSBURGH
Landing. the scene of the recent great battle,
indicate that preparations are in active progress
for another struggle, which will probably de-
eide the fate of Beaursgard and his army at
Corinth. All the wounded have been removed,
and the last boat.load of them arrived 10 ST.
Louis on Saturday. A skirmish is said to have
taken place near Savannah on Wednesday,
between a detachment of our cavalry and a
strong rebel picket, which was posted too close
to our position 10 be agreeable. The skirmish
resulted in the driving back Of the rebels, with
a loss of Eve killed and sixty.ive wounded. A
still! more important affair occurred on the same
day. Gen. Sherman moved his division two
miles further inio the interior, and after sharp
skirmish, in which the rebels were defeated,
succeeded in maintaining his position. The
rebel loss in this affair ia estimated at sfy or
sixty killed. and as many wounded. The re.
ports as to the rebel strength at Corinth are
somewhat conflicting. Some sfthem are, With.
0st doubt, much exaggerated-plasing the
nnmbers of the rebel army as high as one hun.
dTed thousand. and reinforcemen.s pouring in
atan unprecedented rate. Some refugees slate
that the rebels are Certifying at Lick Creek,
half way to CorinIh. and strengthening their
works at the latter place; while others insis,
that The teams which arrive at Corinth, instead
Of bringing fresh troops, are being loaded with
stores preparatory to an evacuation. Gen
Halleckis no doubt fully advised as to the truth
or falsiIy Of these various reports. Meantime
Gen Mitchell is successfully engaged in carry
