We have invaded the sacred soil Of Nississip
pi, and are now camped about thirty mica soutl
/ et Oorinth. The successful evacuation of thai
stronghold BY the rebels was quite . surprise Il
10 I'll. We had anticipated hard fight for IL
possession. II fact, masy Of us supposed il i'm
possible for the rebels 70 get away With thsi
large army and accumulated ordnance and con
nissary stores. without fierce struggle and
heavy loss. But it would seem that il We were
to allow ordinary vigilance on the part of our
own commanders, We must also admit that thu
rebel leaders have reduced the art Of retreatine
to most exact science. In the face Of our owl
immense army they left Corinth with their on
tire force, carrying With them oil their sick, ani
every gun. Such stores as they could not read
lily take along they effectaally destroyed. Wher
We entered the place upon the heels Of the re
treating foe, We found It stripped and deserted
A few smoking embers only remained to tel
where the rebels had stored their supplies-
Apart from the strategetic importance Of tht
movement on the future of the war
there was little to indicate that we:hsd not beer
outgeneraled BY our crafty foe. To say the
least II was . most adroit and successful ma
neuvre on the part Of the rebel leaders, Had
il not been for the daring exploit Of Col. Elliott

the people are quiet, but it is not difficult to see
that they dislike our presence, and would re.
