TRIBuNEs DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, June I0.-We are informed
by two persons, one recently from Charles
ton, the other from a city in the interior
of the southwestern part of the State, that
the rebels are still entirely cheerful, and
confident of ultimate victory. The loss of
New Orleans they regard as but temporary.
They expect to lose Charleston, Mobile, and
perhaps all the seaboard, but they declare
that they will retire into the interior, where
they can never be subdued
Information from rebel sources, of an IN
usually trustworthy character indicate that
Beauregard discovered that at Corinth be
was at the mercy of Halleck. who could
make him fight or delay battle at his
pleasure. Fully pes suaded of this fact, and
believing a battle as inevitable, be re-
treated.
L. is doub ful whether the mission of
Maj. Stone, Col Miller and Capt. Gregg
will be successful. One obstacle is the I'M
Willingness of the auth orities to give up
Gen. Buckner, without whose release the
rebels refuse to make any more exchanges.
Keutuckians here insist that he shall be
held until the end of the war. Is is hard
convincing them that any consideration
should prevail over the natural desire to
hang a rebel so particularly obnoxious to
them.
l. is understood their persuasions have
convinced some members of the Cabinet
that the right thing TO do is to send these
officers, who speak in behalf of all the
prisoners in the South, back TO Alabama
with their mission unfulflIed. Other Cabi-
net Ministers, however, are of a different
opinion, and the question still remains I'M
settled

sONBURG, VIA WASHINGTON CITY,
June 9Th, 1862.
| jackson made stand at this punt, and
we attacked him this morning. The couu-
try is not favorable for open fighting, being
| woody and billy. Gen. Stahl was on the
left, supported by Gen Bohn. Gen. Mil
roy was in the center, supported on the
right by Gen. Schenck. Gen. Steinway
! had command of the reserve. Skirmishing
commenced between 10 and IL O o'clock, and
cannouadirg about II. The enemy had an
excellent position, and directed their FIRE
we'll. But few men were killed on our
side as usually fall by cannon.
Gen. Stahl made an advance nearly to
the river, driving the enemy back, but they
precipitated their main column on him, and
be was compelled to fall back to avoid be-
ing f1anked. His force came out in good
order, and our line was reformed in bet
ter position. Up to 3 O'Clock the cannona-
ding was brisk. Alter that it Stacked, and
now, at o'clock, everything is quiet.
A prisoner says Gen. Ewell lies between
our right wing and the river with 5000
men. When our advance fell back the enc
my did not pursue, preferring to maintain
his position, and throw ou us the burden of
attack.
1t is thought Jackson, 6nding no bridge
here, will attempt to cross at Mt. Crawford,
where he will find no bridge neither.
Another account of the battle says Gen.
Stahl on the left was first engaged. Gen.
Milroy and Schenck oon after found the
enemy aud The battle most immed ately be-
come general. Gen Stahi, after Schriven's
battery had sheIled tue rebel position, sdvant-
ed the sLh aud Ash New York through the
woods into the open fed 90 the other side of
which the enemy's right was concealed in
the woods. The 8th advanced calamity
under a heavy FIRE, but being so long IN
supported by the 45th and largely outnum-
bered, were forced to retire.
Col. Witchel was severely wounded and
the whole regiment badly cut up, losing
not less than 3O0-more than half their
strength.
The enemy's pursuit was checked by
artillery, and Gen. Stahl finally withdrew
his force to stronger position, repulsing a
flank movement and holding his wing firmly.
ten. Milroy advanced his center rapidly,
the artillery FIRE compelling the enemy to
give ground.
Gen. Schenck, on the right, drove back
the rebels who attempted to turn his posi-
ton. Along our whole line our artillery,
under Col. Tilsonais direction. was served
with great vigor and precision, and the final
success largely due to its effect.
The enemy suffered severely. One rebel
regiment lost two-thirds of its number in
attempting to capture Weidrick's battery,
which cut them to pieces with canister at
fifty PAGES.
The rebel batteries were repeatedly 81
fenced, and forced to abandon their posi-
tons.
Col. Clozeret with his weak brigade,
took and held the center Of the enemy's
position, and his encampment is there to-
night.
