LATEST NEWS.

Our latest dates from Corinth say that our
forces average two and half to three miles
from the enemy's entertainments. Skirmish-
es between the advanced pickets of the two
armies are of daily occurrence. The Union
army is advancing slowly because of the ma
turc of the ground, which renders the build
ing of bridges and the opening of new roads
necessary. 1t is generally understood that
an engagement will take place the present
week. rs., Az -.3...t, . 50 -,.. g.. t..s ..'..l
On the 18th McClellan's pckets were with
in sixteen miles of Richmond The iron-clad
vessels Monitor, Naugatuck and Galena have
gone up the James River to Richmond. The
Richmond papers say that the city has no
defence against our gunboats. Richmond
has probably been occupied by our troops
ere this. s..... e.. ...,.. ...

News Through Rebel Sources.

From the Atlanta COntederacy of the 4th,
indications point strongly to battle coming
off at Corinth at an carly day, which for
magnitude Of forces engaged, will outstrip
any that have transpired in America. Our
Judgment is that the Yankees have nearly
10000 men. zu s- a..
Beauregard is well nigh fankcd on all
sides he has an immense army, but not so
large as the enemy. 1t were idle to conceal
the fact that We have some fears for the re-
suit. There is such thing as being utterly
overwhelmed with numbers against which
VIC can provide no remedy. E@
The Petersburg (Virginia) Express of the
9th inst publishes the following:
MOBILE, Mays.
The advance Of Commodore Portcr's fleet
consisting of seven vessels, is off Fort Nor
gan; ten more are off Hern Island, making
eastward. They are firing occasionally, ap.
parcntly feeling for masked batteries.
Our forces are confident of holding tho
enemy in check.
SAVANNAH, May S.
The Republican says the Yankees were re-
connoitering the river and coast batteries all
tho morning, with gunboats. A balloon came
up nearly to the mouth Of the Augusta creek
and then descended.
The Aralanche says: ''The congressional
stampede from Richmond, had very depres.
sing effect and it is believed forshadowed the
early evacuation of Virginia. The policy of
evacuation is nearly played out-we have but
precious little more territory that We can
spare" .r.u..-, ..r
The Memphis Argus says. "The Confed-
crate loss at Shiloh is 1000 killed and wound
ed"
The Argns in an article on gunboats says
Thus far it must be confessed that our at
tempts with gunboats on rivers, have been a
disgusting fizzle. The people know it and
so does the Government"
The Memphis Aralanche of the 9th inst,
says Geographic news from Richmond are
painfully significant.
Gen. Mcclellan seems to have been prepar.
ing the same fate for Richmond that Butler
and Porter got up for New Orleans. The
41ratanche Of the same date says Of affairs in
New Orleans Ma, or Monroe and all the
Alderman have been arrested, and on refus-
ing to take tho oath, were sent to prison.
Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1862-05-16

In the more recent document Of our legisla-
tors, the act of Abolition in the District of
Columbia is justified; il is distinctly asserted
that no more slave States shall under any
circumstances be admitted the PROPOSE
ton Of the President to afford national aid to
States willing to cmancipate their slaves is
warmly commended, and it is finally declared
that no peace can be permanent or worth
| having, except on the basis Of withdrawing
the federal favor from slavery, and divcrting
the federal power from, in any manner sus-
tanning or encouraging it. The Address says,
must be crushed"
AS to the views and feelings of the Admin
istration, in favor of this union of all loyal
citizens, for the sake of the Union, Colonel
Forncy, in a letter from Washington to the
Philadelphia Press, says: .a,.a
81 feel authorized to state that the Prcsi
| dent and every member of his Cabinet arc
anxious that the good example of New York
should be followed up in every other State
The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Chase, is
very decided in the expression of the opinion
that it is the duty Of the Republican party to
join heartily with the Union Democrats, and
to extend to them the most generous treat
ment. If this noble programme is consum-
mated in good faith, we shall then have a
party dedicated to the Union, and to the war.
and opposed to the falsely called Democracy
which acknowledges the leadership Of the
Breckenridge malignants. Between these
two combinations, no homes patriot can hes
itate which to choose"
Such is our idea of the manner in which
the campaign in this State, and in this Con
srcssonal District, should be conducted this
fall. No Republican,, or true Union man of
any party, can take well grounded exceptions
to an organization constructed and carried
out in the above spirit. Whether it shall
be done or not rests with the people to say
Now is the time to agitatc this matter, so that
we may settle down upon some harmonious
plan Of action, and we would suggest that
the press Of the State, and especially of this
District, give an expression Of their views on
this subject. g. ag..~r.

MCCLELLAN APPRECIATED At LAsr.-Owen
Lovcjoy, Of Illinois, who has said many bit
ter things against Gen. Mcclellan for his sup
posed inactivity, offered in the House of Rep
rescntativcs last Friday, the following reso-
lutons, which were adopted:
Resolced, That it is with feelings of Ievout
gratitude to Almighty God that the House of
Representatives, from time to time hear Of the
triumphs of the Union army in the great
struggle for the supremacy of the Constitu-
ton and the integrity Of the Union.
Resolsed. That we receive with profound
satisfaction the intelligence of the recent vic
tories achieved by the armies of the Potomac,
associated from their localities with those of
the revolution, and that the sincere thanks of
this House are hereby rendered to Major Gen
cral George b. Mcclellan for the display of
those high military qualities nhih secure i'm
portant results triM but little sacrifice Of hu-
man life. .....
No man was ever pursued with such un-
ceasing vituperativc clamor as has been Gen.
Mcclellan for the past eight months. But
he is coming out all right, and those who
have been so persistcntly traducing him, are
now compelled to award him great praise
His apparent inaction has not been without
a purpose, has the approval of the govern
ment, and that it has all been for the best
events are rapidly proving.

The Sd Iowa are encamped something like
mile beyond, on the road to Cormth. Our
army is now stationed in line of battle be-
tween to creeks, Mud Lick and Owl Creek
AT this place the Tennessee river runs in
direction nearly north, and these creeks come
in from the west. 1t is between these creeks
that we arc encamped, at distance Of some
four or five miles from the Landing. The
army of the Ohio (Buell's) rests its left wing
upon Mud Lick, and the army Of the Tenncs-
sec tGrunt's) rests its right upon Owl creek :;
besides these the army of the Mississippi
(Pope's) was landed at Hamburg, which is
above Mud Lick creek. The Sd regiment
holds its old position, viz: on the right Of the
LIST Brigade, 4th Division U. S. Grants army.
We are cncampcd in wheat field, upon a
fine plantation, the house upon which is used
as a hospital, by wounded Scccsh. Gen.
lIalleck appears to be reducing things to sys-
tenn md order In front of the line Of battle
heavy pickcts arc kept out day and night, to
prevent surprise, and to keep out SPIES
The picket guard of the forces are stationed
but short distance from each other. In this
war the chivarous sons of the South have
initiated practice that has never been used
by civilized people before, and that is Of shoot
ing pickcts. Many brave soldier has gone
down in this war while standing picket-g guard.
In the night the foe steals upon the guard
who is guarding by moonlight his lonely beat
with an eye out upon the dark forest before
when
" Hark was It the night wind that rlstlcd the leaves
Was 1t moonlight wondsroisy flashing? 20
1t looked like rifle lila, Mary, good byi
And the life blood is ei,ing and spashing."
This Southern chivalry that we have heard
so much about for years gone by, is about
"playci out" War that always devclopcs
chiyalry, if there is any to he developed, has
as yet failed to show up any in Southern
blood. ....,.tEsrE t.t
Yesterday heavy reconnoitering parties
went out, and today while writing the above
the heavy booming Of cannon has been con-
tinually coming up frcm the distance, and a.
our right notice the troops striking their
tents, aud preparing their three day s rations
Every thing denotes that the great struggle is
soon to commence, when many brave one
will go down, and dear ones at home will be
called to mourn for those who have fallen for
freedom.
Fall in company r." comes the word.
ST. CHARLES.

HOMESTEAD BlLL-Thc war SO engrosses
public attention that anything not connected
with it receives hardly a notice. Notwith,
standing the important claims the war has
upon Congress, that body has found time to

calculated 1t will hasten the settlement and
improvement Of the Western States and Ter.

The Southwest.

AT Corinth our lines are being steadily
pushed forward towards the cnemy's position,
and our latest accounts at the time of writing
state that the main columns of both armies
were but two miles apart. 1t is stated that
Gen. llalleck has his forces so arranged that
the rebels cannot cvacuate should they wish
to, but must either fight or surrender Gen.
Grant is second in command. Gen. Curtiss,
with some 10000 men is reported coming
down the White and Arkansas rivers on RATS
This would bring HIM into the Mississippi
about two hundred miles below Memphis
lie will probably be there joined by the gun
boat feet from New Orleans. Arkansas is
now entirely abandoned by the rebels. The
only hope of the rebels in the Southwest
hangs on the result at Corinth, where their
accounts state they have 10000 men,
Memphis is reported almost entirely deserted
The citizens leaving and the stores all closed
An immense quantity Of cotton, sugar and
moasses had been destroyed to prevent it
Ealing into our hands. No steps are being
taken to fortify the city, and should we be
victorious at Cornth We get Memphis with
out a struggle. From Fort Pillow the news
is important, it being the general opinion
that the place will be evacuated or surrender
cd within few days. The rebel force there
is being gradually withdrawn and sent to
Corinth, and only men enough left to man
the guns. The prisoners captured by the
