Appearances seem TO indicate that the battle 50
graphically commemorated will be renewed at an
early day.
Corinih is destined to be the scene of another
lic as bloody, and OF deeds Of herosm as werihy Of
eommemoraton the last. At this present writing,
the enemy are undoubtedly marching N that dree-
ton; and, while now hastily pen these words, the
rosr and tie strife of the battle may be raging.
God grant that i. may end IS gonouty
! Last night our pickets in the vicinity OF Chewalla
were driven in and to-day reeniorcemcnts were
sent out with three days rations Whether this
force will learn on their arrival at the front that tho
enemy have moved III the direction o. Bolivar, aud
that the movement upon CorInth was only ruso to
conceal that movement, u of oourse now unknown.
There have been vague rumors floating along our
streets derivable no one knows whence, that even
today fierce aud bloody battle is in progress, but
telezrsphic inquiry Of one who il usually well IN
formed Of army movements, at Jackson. Tenn, fails
10 satisfy ne Of the truth Of those rumors 90 not
baeye the fight can be delayed for forty eight hours
II Ia useless to deny that there great danger that
we may not be 80 successful in the next great battle.
/ In God name. what are the Department aud the
Government doing. Thousands and tens Of thou
sands Of reenfOrcemeuts are cent 10 the Potomac 20
watch the rise and fall OF that historic stream, while
here in Gen. Grants Department Dot a soldier bar
been sent. Does the Government desire that West
ern Tennessee shall be handed over TO tho Rebels
againl desire not TO be caPtous, or transgress the
bounds Of reportoIial propnety but do Wish the
Government were awake To the necessity OF sending
more men here, and at once. IL u estimated thHE
the enemy have 20 900 in the field, we'll oisel-
plined and eager to wipe out the disgrace OF their
last great failure.
Van Dorm through whose obstinacy and beastly
ntoxicaton the Rebels failed at Corinth is removed
and Price and PembertOn are IN command. j great
ly fear they will be successful in their next attempt
unless we are strongly ard speedily re-enfoTced.
Gen. Tuttle, Commander Of the district Of Cairo
Twill 20 TO the front as his bodily health will

TO my notion, il 4 model military officer.
| Gen. Dodge is already relieved Of his command Of
the 4th Division, with headquarters at Columbus,
and IA succeeded, as | au informed, by Brig. len.
Davies.
Gen. Quimby, no, long since commandsnt Of the
District-a man who, whatever biz abilities has
never yet shown that he possesses transCendent mil
itary talents--goes 10 the front with Gen. Dodge.
The news from below is Eeager.
The Union forces still occupy Island No. 10, while
the Rebels snugy ensconced in the forests which
liue the Tennessee shore, directly opposite have
not heard that they have signalHed their presence
/ by any particular act o. daring or outrage.
/ Memphis news Is uLiuipOrLant.
On Friday aflerr oon, Lieut.. Johnston Of the gun
boat DE kaib received information that there was
small guerrilla force ut Mound City. He accord !
ingy made arrangements 10 capture them, and for
that purpose dispatched Robert T.. Medi with IL /
men look after them. Before reaching Mound !
City, however, the guerrias got wind Of their ap-
proach and all but one made oil for Marion This !
was Lieut. Brown, son Of the late Judge Brown, |
and on q visit 10 his mother living not far from
Mound City. lie was taken prisoner. All the
horses in the livery stable were borrowed and Me-
dill and his party started in pursuit Of tie fleeing
guerras The chase continued TO within one nile /
Of Marion when the pursuing party, having cap /
tured Capt Russell Of Van DoTns army, Lieut.. /
Duke and Ave pIiyates, concluded TO return. Rus
sell said bic object was to get Medill into Marion, /
where they Lad teVeIai companies On returning, |
Medill's party discovered two men in skiH near |
Mound City, having come down from Island No. 40, /
and succeeded IN making the Arkansas shore with /
eight or ten cases OF boots and shoes roll Of kerr
seys leather, thread, avis, cotton cards, &c. Oh
course the whole cargo was cOniscated, and the /
emngglers made prisoners on the gunboats.
