TIE VERY LATEST NEWS.

The Goldsboro' Daily Bulletin has the fol-
lowing additional items concerning General
~BeaarcgaTd's battles in Tennessee
Ate, a hard fought battle Of six hours
with Buell. on Monday, Beauregard retired
to Cotinth ; saving all the prisoners, the
eishty-eight pieces of cannon, all provisions,
and a portion of the ammunition which be
captured the day before, but lost sons small
arms Beauregard has been reinforced by
Van Dorm and army, and IS sanguine of sue
cess at Corinth.
Gen. Claiborne of Arkansas, Col. Bate Of
Tennessee, and Col. Horace of Louisiana,
were killed in the fight on Sunday.
The number of prisoners is between FIVE
and six thousand.
The enemy's killed and wounded estima-
ted between eight and ten thousand. Our
loss three thousand. This was the most ter
rife fight of the war.
A dispatch to the Charlotte Bulletin of
Saturday, the 18th, dated April 10. has the
following additional items eoncerning.the ec-
ond fight:
The latest intelligence from Corinth says
the Yankees were badly whipped. Our loss
IN killed and wounded is lessrthan one thou
sand. We took near three thousand prison
ers, but three gunboats prevented a complete
victory. \ ulSpatcn last nlgnt says Lnat HVe
hundred of our cavalry attacked the Fede-
rails, killing many, and capturing forty eight
prisoners. Passengers by the train arrived
here this morning, say Gen. Buell. was killed
during the engagement.
4 flag Of truce was interchanged, and It
was agreed that a cessation of hostilities
should be respected during two days, in or
der to afford time to bury the dead and at
tend to the wounded. The enemy attacked
cur forces when they we4e reinforced, bul on
every advance they were whipped baek IN
der the cover of their gunboats. Gen Prem
tiss tod Gen. Beauregard he had siHty-fye

but he could not whip one hundred aRd

tyrsht Thousand. ard could WhLo the Eed-
esaafss nffeetoSohe, mr. EsFd.
Other adxices confrmth the above state
ment that Buell. was slain.
The Charlotte Bulletin has alsoha dispatch
from Norfolk, dated April II, II o'clock, NJ,
which says the Merrimac went out that MORN
ing and captured three briggs one heavily
loaded and a steamer, without firing a gun.
The Monitor kept under the guns ofFortress
Monroe, thus far refusing to meet the Merri-
mac.
The firing continued with nnabated fury
between Fort Pulaski and the enemy's gun
boats near Savannah, up to the morning OF
the 18th. No information as to the result,
all communication being cut off. The Fort
had received no injury.

TIE Great Victory.

The Jews of the victory of our arms near
Corintb, Mississippi, has been fully confirmed
by an official dispatch received at the War
Department from General Beauregard, with
some importantand interesting additions with
respect to the extent Of the victory. The
following is the dispatch of General Beaure-
gard addressed to Adjutant General Cooper.
"~BArTLE-FIELD OF Sutton, April 9th,
"via Cor NH, Miss, & Chattanooga.
" 70 General s. Cooper, Adjutaat-G General:
We this morning attacked the enemy in a
strong position in front of Pittsburg, and, at
ter a severe battle of ten hours, thanks to the
Almighty, gained a complete victory, driving
the enemy from every position. The loss on
both sides is heavy, including our m
der.in-chiet, General Albert Sidney Johnston.
who fell CALAMITY leading his troops into the
thickest Of the fight.
&C. L. BEAUREGARD, Gen. Com.
SECOND Il
A dispatch was also received by General
Cooper from the telegraph operator at Corinth.
The date Of this dispatch is in advance of that
Of General Beauregard, and states that we
were then pursuing the retreating enemy be-
You'd his enca epmenis that re had posses
sion of his camp, and had taken all his camp
eQu1ppage, military stores, anu a vast amount
ofarms and ammunition. The dispatch states
that the news continues to be more favorable
every momept.
We may state that General B~eauregard has
a reputation with the government ofremark-
able moderation Of tone and expression in his
dispatches ard that the impression obtained
in olEcial circles that the +" complete" victory
he announces has been the most important
and decisive action of the war. The news
was instantly telegraphed by the government
, to General NJ gruder. and was announced t.
our command Oh the peninsula.
In addition to the dispatch copied above
: two dispatches were received in other quarter:
J of the War Department, confirming in al
respects the intelligence Of our victory, am
j Stating that we had taken six thousand pris-
3 oners-and one hundred guns. 1t is though
j in official quarters that the number of pris-
oners taken is even larger than this.
General Beauregard is understood to be j
"a position TO give him the enrire control {
the Tennessee river, cutting of the eRem
and intercepting his retreat in that direction
, The enemy is thus confined in a hostile coul
: try broken with meuntains and streams, fro
= which the second . grand army Of the Nor
can c~ertainlv not extricate itself with Il
g ease and celebrity Of the famous retreat fro
the plains of Manassas.
