A Rebels Apology for the Rout at
COrinth.

SPERtW, The drunken Methodist
oircuit-rider and editor Of me Knoxville
Register, who said the Sther day, that the
Almighty deseryca 70 be tried by a drum
head court.rartial for not sending rain,
is sadly crest-fallen at the intelligence of
the daughter and discontinue Of the great
armies of PRICE and VAN DoRN by the
unconquerable troops Of the gallant BosE-
GRAMS, and attempts to poultice The giiast-
ly wound which treason has received at
Corintb, by the following emolient
TIE BATTLE or coRNTH.
SO much accustomed have our people
become TO the announcement of successive
victories by our armies, that they endnre
with little equSaimity those reverses OF
fortune from which neither Caesar nor a
Napoleon were exempt We cannot hope
for unvarying triumphs, and the cheek
received at COrinth by Van Dorm, who
with not more than 10000 men assaulted
10000 in their entertainments, is one of
those casualties naturally resulting from
the OVerweening confidence of our Cen
erals in the utter invincibility of our
troops. The Yankees had seventy pieces
of artillery, and az the conclusion of the
light were reinforced by 10000 fresh
troops II happens that this victory of
our enemies, if such it be, must be bar
rem Of results. II will be as impossible
for Rosecranz to pursue Van Dorm, as it
was for Halleck 10 follow Beauregard
from Corinth.
The last battle is, in its history and
results, very like that at Shiloh. We
were in this latest fight yictors and mas
tiers of the field during two days of a
bloody, ceaseless struggle, and on the
Third were compelled to yield to over
whelming achievements.
The Register places the rebel army at
10000 instead Of 10000, which was its
real number II comprised the united
forces of PRICE, VAN Dorm and Lowell,
and the army Of PRIcE alone according
10 the statements of Secessionists them
selves, in this place, was estimated at
more than twice the number stated by
the Register. Every statement made by
the rebel newspapers about this terrible
battle proves that they feel it TO have been
a crushing, an astounding overthrow.

General Hull was tried convicted and
sentenced 10 be shot for the surrender OF
Detroit in the last war with Great Brit
ain, and his life was spared by President
Madison only in consideration Of his age
and his services in the war Of the reyo-
luton. The men who have disgraced
themselves and their country by sur
rendering in this war have no such plea
as General Hull had, and we do not see
why they should not be tried, convicted,
