P. G. T. Beauregard. [Translation.] Corinth, April 9. Gen. Samuel Cooper, Richmond, Va.: All present probabilities are that whenever the enemy moves on this position, he will do so with an over-whelming force of not less than eighty-five thousand men. We can now muster only about thirty-five thousand effective, (men.) Van Dorn may possibly join us in a few days with fifteen thousand more. Can we not be reinforced from Pemberton's army?

he path of victory! Now the rebel fleet appear, Bristling fiercely in the rear; But 'tis vain — our bold career No power now can stay. Up the Mississippi's tide Bravely still our vessels glide, Starry banners spreading wide From every topmast head. Batteries on either hand Still in grim defiance stand: Forward! is the fierce command, And rebel flags go down! Near the city soon we lay, Farragut has won the day! Dress the ships with streamers gay: All hail! brave Admiral! R. T. M. U. S. S. Mississippi, New-Orleans, April 25, 1862. Failing to reduce them, [Forts Jackson and St. Philip,] after six days of incessant fire, Flag-Officer Farragut determined to attempt their passage with his whole fleet, except the part there — of under the immediate command of Capt. Porter, known as the mortar-fleet. On the morning of the twenty-fourth instant the fleet got under way, and twelve vessels, including the four sloops of war, ran the gauntlet of fire of the forts, and were safely above. Of

the rebels apologizing for the fare he was offered by saying: You see to what you have reduced us. Hominy, molasses, hard bread, and pork were served for supper and breakfast; and for variety, sweet oil was used instead of molasses. The conversation was animated, and often touched on politics. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Badeau was recommended to the President, by Gen. Hunter, for a captaincy, and made bearer of despatches to the Government, announcing the fall of Pulaski. He had also the honor of being mentioned in Gen. Gillmore's formal report of the operations. The President accordingly at once appointed him an additional Aid to Major-Gen. Halleck, with the rank of captain in the regular army. Captain Badeau was assigned to duty with his old chief, Brig.-Gen. Sherman, served under him during the siege of Corinth, and in the subsequent pursuit of Beauregard in Mississippi. He has been ordered to the Department of the Gulf, but is still a member of Gen. Halleck's staff.

A talk with A rebel picket in Mississippi.--A private of the Sixth Ohio regiment sends to his friends in Cincinnati the following lively sketch of campaigning life: I must record a little adventure, pleasing and interesting, I had day before yesterday near Corinth. My last spoke about the continued firing between pickets. To such an extent was it carried, so incessant the firing day and night, that nothing short of a battle would alarm the camp, whereas a single gun should be the signal for the long-roll. But within the last three or four days a change for the better has taken place. On Monday our regiment was sent to the fortifications. It is the custom for the various battalions to take their turn in staying at the breastworks for twenty-four hours, forming a sort of reserve picket; and from each regiment so stationed two companies are sent to the outposts. It fell to our lot to go out. The company we relieved informed us that the rebels were disposed to be friendly;
