In the battle of Corinth, the First Division, Army of the West, went into action October 2d at ten A. M., with four thousand seven hundred rifles, fought all day; next day at ten A. M, stormed the town and worked with the Missouri division under General Martin Green. Being unsupported by the Third division, they were driven out with terrible loss. Next day the army retreated.

Harris had united with Martin Green, making their joint forces from three to five thousand. Col. Moore of the Union troops, was at Memphis, Scotland county, with but fifteen hundred men, and unless soon reinforced, it was feared that his whole command would be captured. We learn from the Bloomfield Clarion that about four hundred troops marched down from Davis and neighboring counties in Iowa, on Tuesday, to go to the assistance of Colonel Moore, and similar movements have been going on elsewhere.

If we lose Washington, it will be worse to us than a dozen Bull Runs. If we beat the enemy the tide of war will have been turned against them forever. The next few days are big with the late of the Great Republic. From Northern Missouri.

Among the vessels taken possession of at New York, on Wednesday, were the steamers Roanoke and Catawba, barks Pioneer and Winifred, of Richmond, and Gen. Green of Charleston, brig Sarah Star, and schooner Annie M. Johnson.
