aking his position behind and creeping from bush to bush he kept up a steady fire from his rifle, until he had expended forty cartridges, and then robbed the body of a Yankee for a fresh supply. His clothes were absolutely cut to pieces, and yet, with the exception of a slight scratch on the arm, he escaped without a wound. Col. Preston Smith, who fought so gallantly at the head of the -- Tennessee regiment, has been brevetted a Brigadier. Other promotions were made on the field by Beauregard; and there has been, so it is said, a system of advancement adopted whereby the humblest soldier may, by meritorious conduct, rise from the ranks to the highest offices. This is as it should be. Promotion made the French army, gave Napoleon half his strength and successes, and the sooner the rule is applied here the letter it will be for the common cause. The wounded are generally doing well.--Several hundred are in the hospital here under the best of medical care, and attended by th

At best, Memphis is a perfect nest of rumors, and every day those susceptible of these truant impressions are thrown into fever heat by one or more of frivolous canards. The latest is by way of Nashville, and reports that that city is in possession of a portion of the troops under Gen. Kirby Smith, while the balance went to Huntsville, surrounded the town, and has taken seven thousand prisoners! Buell is also reported to have died of his wounds! Affairs at Corinth remain unchanged.--Beauregard has again got his army in splendid fighting condition, and we are ready for another attack. Opinion is divided, however, upon the probability of a second effort being made by the Federal. The favorite impression is, that they were emphatically disgusted with their reception, and will turn their backs upon the inhospitable place. A large portion of the transports and gunboats have, it is said, already gone down the Tennessee river; but whether it is to convey troops away, or bring re

-The New Orleans Bee remarks: What do our readers think of the Federal accounts of the battles of the 6th and 7th instant? Have they not reached an eminence of mendacity that is absolutely stupendous? They claim a victory, and celebrate it by firing one hundred guns. They assert that we lost from $5,000 to 40,000--or, in other words, that our entire army was annihilated. They say they have captured forty-four of our field pieces, and then they can the climax by first shooting off Beauregard's arm, and then killing him for the third time outright. We can afford to laugh at these weak inventions of the enemy. They are intended to throw dust in the eyes of the gullible populace, who will probably never see the truth. Such fabrications are strictly in keeping with the Federal policy, which is never to acknowledge a reverse, if it can be possibly conceated. According to these precious chroniclers, they have lost no battle since the war began. They were successful at Manas

the main body of the Federal previously nine miles from the recent battle-field, have fallen still further back, leaving nothing but a strong picket-guard to protect their old encampment. The motive for this is supposed to be either to divert Beauregard's attention from Corinth, and to weaken his force there, or else they intend to go down the Tennessee river in gunboats, march across the country, and make a direct attack upon Memphis Gen. Beauregard remains quiet behind his fortifications, anGen. Beauregard remains quiet behind his fortifications, and it is not known that he designs any early movements upon the enemy. His lines have not been extended by this recent movement of his foe, and very little skirmishing occurs. The officers of the army are confident that the great battle of the West must be fought at Corinth, and, 'tis said, that a council of war has decided upon the retaining of all the Confederate forces there, leaving the enemy to pursue uninterrupted, his march towards Memphis — No doubt Gen. B is satisfied that nothing ser
