The Battle of C0rinth.
JACKSON. Tenn. Oct. 5. 1862.

JACKSON, LEM. OCt. 10 1OOZ.
To Maj. Gen. Halleck:
Yesterday the rebels, under Price. Van
Dorm and Lowell. were repulsed from their
attack upon Corinth, with great slaugh-
ter. ttE fF FAN
The enemy are in full retreat, leaving
their dead and wounded on the field.--------
Rosecrans telegraphs that the loss is
serious on our side. particularly in officers
but bears no comparison with that Of ths
enemy.
Gen. Hackleman, of Indiana, fell while
gallantly leading his brigsde.. and Gen.
Oglesby is dangerously wounded.
Gen. Mcpherson with has command
reached Corinth yesterday. -
Gen. Rosecrans pursued the enemy this
morning. and should they attempt to move
towards Bolivar, will follow to thes
place. bisf
Gen. Hurlbut is at the Hatchie River,
with 5000 to 5000 men. and is no doub<
with the pursuing column.
From 700 to l 900 prisoners. besides the
wounded, are left in our hands. ag
Gen. Ord, who followed Gen. Hurlbnt.
met the enemy on the south side of the
Hatchie. and drove them across the stream
and got possession of the nights by our
troops. Gen. Ord took two batteries and
about 900 prisoners.
At a distance every thing looks favora-
BILE, and | cannot see how the enemy are
to escape without losing everything bus
their small arms.

Is 1t So?

II is reported that A. @. Thompson
commenced teaching Singing School in
Green Township last Winter. and when the
term was half out, collected the tuition fee
for the full term from his pupils. and then
failed to teach the balance Of the term Is
it so, Aleck?
1t is reported that Mark Packard took
gold watch in payment of debt which
Adolph Myers owed him. when the latter
failed; that shortly after Packard was told
that the watch belonged to Miss Shively,
of Bourbon township; when, instead OF
giving it up like an honest man. told Miss
SIS brother when he demanded the watch
of him, that he had sold it to man named
Smith. of Michigan. bot did not know his
first name or where he lived.
1t is also reported that when suit was
about to De brought against Packard for
the value of the Watch. he proposed to
compromise by giving the claimant S25.
Query.-If he were an honest man would
he not have given up the watch or paid its
full value without word? after becoming
satisfied, as he must, that the watch did
not belong to Myers.
1t is reported, also, that Marcus tried to
collect double mileage as a member of the
Extra Session Of the Legislature, and got
angry with the Auditor because he would
not give him q warrant on the Treasurer
for the amount he claimed. Is it so. Mar
Gus?
Another report says that he tried to
cheat the Railroad out Of his fare on ,
certain occasion. by presenting an editors
pass, after he had been unceremoniously
discharged by the Messrs. Mcdonald. as
editor of the Democrat, but failed, and had
to fork over. Is it so, Marcus?
1t is fact that Marcus refused to &C.
cept Sl.25 day for his services as Town.
ship Trustee, after other Trustees had, and
sued the County for S15O. Is it not SO,
Marcus?

Tax Payers,

Alex Thompson, the Democratic. candi-
date for County Auditor, is a delinquent
to the County of Marshall for taxes to the
amount OF S12.59.-which amount has
been accruing against him for several
years, and yet he utterly refuses and neg
lects to pay up. Is he a fit person to take
charge of an important Office in the gift OF
the people? fhe would only appropriate
small fraction of his whiskey and billiard
bills to the paying of his just tax indebted
ness. we think he might come before The
people asking for Office with clearer con.
science than that which he carries at pres.

That on next Tuesday. the 14th of Oe-

not the programme. 1t would be better,
to let the war linger on indecisively. and
with advantages to both sides. until the
end Of Mr. Lincoln's term. when it could

That is the feeling throughout the Dem

the difficulty on no conditions which will
not give guarantees for the protection and
perpetuation of slavery. Even the Consti.

That Packard is a deadly enemy to your

on his debts instead Of six which he now
pays; that he favers the Banker and the

malicious untruths manufactured by the
editor Of that paper. and have not shadow
