teries and fresh soldiers have arrived, and evidently before another week the fate of Corinth will be decided. General Mitchell has reached Decatur, holding the bridge there, and capturing some siege guns on their way to Beauregard. Hundreds of wounded Confederates have been found by parties between here and Corinth the last day or two, and brought in here. So energetic have been the measures taken by General Halleck that the army here is prepared to immediately assume the offensive. General Buell's troops are in excellent condition. Bodies of our cavalry daily meet and skirmish with the enemy. From present appearances an immediate advance will take place upon Corinth. On account of the destruction of the railroad bridges, it is now impossible for Beauregard to receive reinforcements. Before another week closes Corinth will probably be won or lost, the two great armies of the South and West again meet together, and Halleck conquer Beauregard or Beauregard conquer Halleck.

rst it is almost impossible to say.

One of those battle scenes lies in the northeast corner of the rebel Confederacy, and the other in the Virginia are that a great battle may take place at any moment at Yorktown. But it is hard to tell whether the enemy will await the blow preparing for him by Gen. McClellan at Yorktown, or whether his wily strategy will prompt him to parry it by a feint, and strike suddenly with his main force at McDowell or Banks, meantime throwing such obstructions in the way of McClellan's advance as will prevent his taking part in the battle. Upon the result of these two battles hangs the rate of the rebellion. If the rebels should win both, their drooping spirits would be revived and the war would be prolonged indefinitely.

The indications in Virginia are that a great battle may take place at any moment at Yorktown. But it is hard to tell whether the enemy will await the blow preparing for him by Gen.

They are well disciplined and thoroughly armed; facts which the late engagement abundantly proved. Their leaders are Beauregard, Hardee, Bragg, Polk, Boyn, and Breckinridge, the four former military strategists of the first order.

xpected, therefore, that the fight will be anything short of a desperate struggle. We do not anticipate a retreat on the part of Beauregard without a battle, because the moral effect of this would be quite as bad on the cause, now desperate, which he represents, as a defeat. That under these circumstances he will fight — and fight desperately — struggling as a man in the agonies of death, we are bound to believe. [correspondence of the St. Louis Republican.] Pittsburg Landing, April 19. Preparations go steadily forward here, and the troops daily advance. Some of the division now are posted within a mile of the rebel pickets; numbers of new batteries and fresh soldiers have arrived, and evidently before another week the fate of Corinth will be decided.

From the perfect arrangements made by our Generals, we have no doubt that they will defeat the enemy in both battles, and in a short time the rebellion will have received the two fatal blows from which it can never recover. The campaign in the West. [From the Cincinnati Gazette, April 22.] The news of a great battle near Corinth, Miss., may be expected hourly. Extensive preparations are being made on our side.

Impending Battles.a programme of the campaign. The New York Herald, whose editors seem to regard themselves complete masters of strategic science, continues to solve the knotty problem of the war with as much self-satisfaction as it is possible to imagine. In its issue of April 28th that paper lays down the programme of the campaign as follows: A great battle at Corinth, Mississippi, and another at Yorktown, Virginia are imminent, and the news of the deadly clash of arms may reach us at any moment from either of these places — from which of them first it is almost impossible to say.
