|. LATE FROM CoR1NrH.-We have seen
a gentleman direct from Corinth. he cor
rects the impression that prevailed to some
extent that the enemy had. fallen back
Our line had advanced about half mile on
the right.
Gen. Beauregard has issued an order re-
quiring the burning of all extra tents
officers are allowed only sixteen pounds of
baggage. He declared that the Confede.
rate army had assumed the offensive, and
that he did not wish it to be encumbered
with unnecessary baggage or tents.
Gen. Beauregard has also issued an or.
der excluding all correspondents from the
lines-makiuga penalty of death if improp.
er news be transmitted. This fact accounts
for the failure Of our special correspondent
at Corinth to supply rs with late dispatches
from that interesting locality.
Skirmishiug is going on daily, with
slight casualties on both sides. =.
We presume that the Government does
not at this time allow any dispatches what.
ever in relation to the situation of affairs at
Corinth to pass over the wires. We there
fore give the latest news from that quarter
as we fnd it in our Western exchanges,
leaving our readers to form their own con.
clusions.
The Mobile advertiser, of May 81, says:
1t is rumored that on Wednesday evening,
Gen. Hardee's division was engaged for
several hours, little to the right of Far.
miugton, first driving the enemy back, but
being afterwards driven back in turn to
their rife pits. The canuonadiug is said
to have been heavy, ceasing about 6 o'clock.
We have authentic intelligence of impor.
tant movements among our forces at Cor.
inth, which will be made public in due
time.
The jackson Mississippian, Of the 31st
ult., says; the cars have come in, bringing
intelligence from Corinth. The cannoua.
ding proved to be the heavy skirmishiug at
Pennington. The very latest and most re-
liable information places beyond doubt, We
think, that our army is evacuating Coriuth.
Doubtless it is the dictate of military STRAIT
egy, intended to force the enemy, by a
flank movement, to quit their entrench.
ments and engage US. We are also led to
believe that we have been, or will be, com.
PEELED to evacuate Fort Pillow. In that
event, our readers should not be surprised, ,
before our next issue, to hear that Mem
phis has fallen into the hands of the enemy.
A correspondent of the Atlanta Contsd-
eracy, writing from Mobile, says: From
what 1 can learn, and the best opinion |
am able to form, we may expect an early
falling back of Beauregard and his army
probably twenty or thirty miles on the
Mobile road. This is necessary to get wa
ter, if nothing else. 1t is all stuff about
those artesian wells Then the enemy
have advanced to where they can she'll our
lines, and we cannot get at them without
crossing creek and great swamp, where
we would be met by heavy guns. One of
their fanks is covered by swamp that We
cannot carry artillery across, and We can't
get fight out Of them without advancing
on their front, where they would have eve
ry advantage of entertainments aud heavy
guns. This advance We have to make or
fall back, and draw them still further into
our country, where we can get at them on
any side, and where we can have water
but in gaining this advantage we lose the
railroad from Corinth to Memphis.
