From Corinth.

We have seen it stated that Gen. Beauregard
had forbidden the transmission of telegaamSs
from any point in his lines hence we are
without advices from him Of very recent date.
The Mobile Register, however, learns by pas
sengers by the cars on the 28th, that the re-
duction of baggage, tents, and camp equip
page is being rigidly and systematically en-
forced at Corinth. Large quantities are sent
down to different points by every train, but
no guns or ammunition accompany them.
The Mobile Tribune, of the 28th ult., thinks
that the great battle at Corinth would begin
on that day. It states that Generals Price
and Van Dorm went cut night before last with
their commands to try and get between the
enemy and the river, and if they accomplish
ed the object, they were to fire signal guns
at 8 o'clock, a. m. Firing was heard at that
hour, and the whole army vas soon after
women and children-have been removed
from Corinth. 1t is therefore believed that
the Great Battle has actually commenced.
LATER.
The New York Herald Of the 31st ult, has
been received at Richmond and it amour
ces the evacuation Of Corinth by the Confed
crate army and the occupation of the towI
by the Union troops. A dispatch from Hal
leck to Stanton is to this effect,
The news Of the evacuation of Corinth b.
General Beauregard is by no means imprOb
able, though the authority is from a yer.
doubtful source. If true, and our force
have fallen back towards Okelona, then Buel
NAV bid good bye to all aid from his gun
boat retreats, and must either abandon hi
design of bagging Beauregard's army, or com
out and take a fair stand up fight like a maj
Besides it is probable that the country in tn
neighborhood of Corinth is pretty we
exhausted of provision supplies, and tn
Yankees in following Beauregard will be pu
to the necessity OF transporting from the
water lines, a distance Of from one to tw
hundred miles, every ounce of food the
need,
Whatever step the gallant Beauregard ma
have taken, the country has full confdent
in him.-Okelona, the point upon which on
troops are reported to be falling back, is c
the Mobile and Ohio, Railroad, about 65 mil
South of Corinth, near the junction of Il
county lines of Chickasaw, Monroe, ItaWaml
and Pont0toc counties, and is about 100 mil
from the nearest point Of the Mississippi rive

ADVANCE or YANKEES Up THE MISSISSIPPI
CAPTURE OF HoMERsvILLE The Memphis
Appeal says that the Federals attacked and
captured the town of Homersville, Ark, on
the 10Th ult., and also seized the steamer
Daniel b.. Miller. Col. +. Alex. Lewis Of
JEFF Thompson's command was killed. two
men wounded, and several citizens captured,
Captain Rogers and Hicks, with 100 men
attacked the Federals near Des Arc on the
24th ult. The enemy was three or four hun.
dred strong. The Federal loss is supposed
to be 90 or 100. The Confederate loss was
three killed, two wounded, and several miss.
ing: Eight or ten horses were killed. The
Federals are laying the whole country waste.
The enemy are again within ten miles of Cot.
ton Plant. A large number of citizens have
left to attack them.

The World AGAINST It's.

The Weekly Message says, we think tru-
ly, that the fact of the other nations of the
earth manifesting no sympathy for the South,
will prove a fortunate circumstance, as it
will prevent her from contracting alliances
with other nations and looking to them for
that help, for which she should look to the
Lord alone. The Israelites were cursed, and
suffered defeats for forming alliances with
other nations, when they had looked to the
Lord alone, He would have blessed them and
caused them to triumph over their invaders.
Let us look to the Lord alone for deliver
ance, while in the faithful discharge of every
duty, and when he comes to rescue us, let
him have all the praise.

AssEMBLAGE OF TRAIToRs.-They held in
Nashville, Tennessee, on the 14th ult., what
they called a Union Convention and Mass
Meeting, to take preliminary steps for the
readmission of the State of Tennessee into the
Federal Union. The Atlanta Southern Cam
Jeder0cy gives some extracts from the proceed
lngs, and a short sketch of some of the most
prominent actors, among whom were VIM.
B.. Campbell, former Governor of the State
Baylie Peyton, former Member of CONGRESS.
VIM. Il. Polk, brother of the late President
Polk, Andy johnson, Lincoln's military Gov
ernor of Tennessee, and others, anonc whom
Johnson occupies the most respectable posi-
ton, mean as that is. Johnson is a PARAGON
OF honor, compared with the rest oftbc crew
He has not deceived any one by making
professions of loyalty to the cause of the
South, and then betraying any one who was
induced to believe him. johnson is hated
for joining the enemies of the country but
ne has not done SO after solemnly espousine
our cause, as the others, like base. perfidions
hypocrites have done.
With this gang of arch-traitors were allied
some 100 refuge %toriees, pretending to repre-

editor in Chattanooga, but long since forced
suddenly to leave by the people. Edward H.

Nashville, and dared not show his face there
till the Federal army came.
1t is a little remarkable that the prince

LOOK OUT ON THE CoAsT.-It will be seen
by a despatch in this paper, that the enemy
has landed a considerable force on Battery
Island near Charleston, This is but the be-
ginning, we are Of the opinion, of a series of
threatening attacks all along our Coasts
Batfled in their On to Richmond march, the
enemy will busily employ himselfin landing
troops on our coasts to annoy and plumber
our people, as well as attack our soldiers,
hoping thereby to draw off Troops from around
Richmond. In this latter hope he will be
disappointed but he may do US injury 9TH

out for him. Our commanders about New

~ From the graves of the hundreds
and thousand who have fallen on the battle
field and by the hand Of wasting disease,
since this cruel war begun, there comes forth
the incense of patriotic devotion, and the be-
reaved ones nave the consoling reflection that
they died battling for them, for "God and
their native land With hearts resigned to
the will of God in this affecting dispensation
of His Providence, they feel that no dark
pail of shame settles upon their resting
place, but a halo of patriotic devotion en- cir
| cles it. while a nation mourns the loss OF the
noble and the brave.

When Help VIII Come.

The Greensboro Weekly Message is edited
by a Lady, who seems to be imbued with a
faith and confidence in the success of our
s truggle fol independence, that should stern
ly rebuke the chicken-hearted gentry who
croak of defeat, and tremble for the safety of
their carcasses. She says, the increasing
interest of the passing exciting events of the
aohen depends, We think, on ourselyes-our
prayers-our faith-our acts.
We believe that He who pities human woe,
waits to deliver, and will rescue us as soon as
we are ready to appreciate His interposition,
and properly use and improve the blessings
Of peace.
And shall we, by our sins, put off the day
Of relief, and increase the groans and tears
and bloodshed of the land
Let us turn to the Lord, with full purpose
OF heart, to resolved be wholly his,-thenswill
help come.

We this week publish the Presidents Mes
ace to the exclusion Of most everything
else.
We have carefully compared and correct
ed the copy which we give by other copies,
but there will, undoubtedly be some errors
Of minor importance, which it will be i'm
possible to detect, till printed copies are re-
ceived from Washington. The message was
transmitted to the press by telegraph.
This is. unques:iOnably, the most impOr-
.ans message ever delivered by any President
TO the National Congress.
The slavery question has always been q
disturbing element 10 the politics OF the na-
ton ; it has furnished themes for heated and
violent discussions in almost every Congress
tina, has assembled under the National Con-
stition, from..the first to the last; and these
discussions. on the part Of the South. have
always been fruitful in threats Of secession.
The present message affords the first in
stance, in which President has ever pro-
posed to Congress any method by which the
nation may be purified of this foul blot, this
sinful, disturbing element in the national
politics.
II will be noticed that all discussion Of a
