ing as a Corinth reverse but quickly is it rollsd
aside by the breath Of BOTess, giving place to
the warming vigor of a glorious sun, b aming
upon Us like the flashing glory Of g BTsgg's
victory. There, now!
Of the position and movements Of this army,
1 have nothing interesting to give you, even if
it were proper for : correspondent to write such
things. may say, however, that Generals Van
Dorm and Lowell still live, and are really breath
ing freely, Notwithstanding the assertion that
they are played out" General Pdcs, too

Truthful history always works justice.
saw q squad Of twelve or fifteen sweet look
ing individuals yesterday. They had been esp
tured in Haywood county, Tennessee, whilst
Masking for the rendezvous Of q company of
Federal "Jorillas," 10 which they had enlisted.
Poor, miserable, degenerate sons Of Southern
sTes, not only kissing the dssssrd hand that had
stricken them, but actually guiding that hand
for another blow. There ought to be 8 special
hell instituted for such people, and Piesyune
Batter and Andy johnson appointed d~eyils-in-
chief to govern it.
Our total loss in killed and wounded, in the
two days fight at Corinth and retreat, is thirty
one hundred and eighty, not six thousand, 90 at
frst reported. The total number of prisoners
taken was three hundred and sighty-eight The
snemy's loss, in killed and wounded, must have
greatly exceeded this, according to al observe
ton, whilst their loss in prisoners was TIRES
hundred and twenty. They have the town Of
Bolivar strongly defended, there bsing no less
than eight lines of Notifications, each mounted
with excellent pieces. Their bitches are made
with 8 full Consciousness OF Confederate impetu
osity, being eleven feet deep and twcnsy-si1
wide; whilst the parapets are supplied with
heavy wire netting, Ike that used to prevent
boarding a man-ofwar. This information is
given me by a man who has just got back hem
there. He also informs me that Hurlbat has
not moved from there with his division, as wsa
reported.
We have a sort Of underground connection
between this place and the scene of your former
lsborS. It is only semioccasionsl, however, and
a Memphis paper is eagerly sought for. Iofersd
FIVE dollars for the one 1 send you to-day but
the owner refused TO sell. Subsequently, how
ever, he saw the APPEAL in my hand and offered
to swep. You can bet largely that I didn't wait
for q repetition Of his offer. The Cincinnati
Commercial, Of the 10Th, which you have doubt
lass received by this time, was brought through
from Memphis by a patriotic lady, and the in
formation I telegrsphed you was obtained
through her. God bless the Southern women !
They are The best in the world, and csn outwit
the best Yankee the best day he ever saw.
