ond the reports of the dozen or twenty prisoners, who describe the havoc as being very considerable. The Federal force engaged was composed of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana troops. One of the latter informed me that the Federal force was about one hundred and sixty-six thousand strong. They intended to be in Corinth in three days. nearly half of the army, however, was sick and disabled. Whether or not the fight will delay or precipitate general operations, remains to be seen. The enemy may, in revenge for their unceremonicus rout, make a sudden advance in force on all sides; but I apprehend they will not risk a battle with our troops behind enfrenchments. If possible, they will essity to draw us out, but in Bragg and Beauregard they have a wary twain of Generals to outwit and will have to move with exceeding care to prevent a Waterloo defeat. We shall now have firing and skirmishing every day. Health of the army improving. Weather magnificent. Quel Qu'un.

An Execrable military Despot. The order of General Butler, said to have been issued recently in New Orleans, is the most brutal and atrocious act of the military despotism extended over so much of the South. It will be found noticed elsewhere in this paper. Butler is a low, vulgar trickster in politics, and must be socially a brute. Yet he has so much of cunning and shrewdness that we are almost inclined to doubt the authenticity of the paper attributed to him. That Gen. Beauregard should have called to it the attention of his army, however, is strong proof that he knew it to be genuine. Again, it may not be very surprising that the man who threatened the people of Baltimore with, assassination by servile agency, should issue even such a paper as this. It will indeed shock the civilized world; and the man whose arm will not feel nerved by it to strike a heavier blow upon the enemy, must not only be base born, but dead to all the instinots of humanity.

crimes, that with an army of 250,000 he should have permitted 60,000 to leave the Potomac, and 20,000 to be transferred to the Mississippi, there to fight under Beauregard, and nearly destroy the army of Gen. Grant. These men are slave owner Generals. So is blundering Halleck at the West. So, it seems, is Buell, and aprecious htook no prisoners, and were terribly cut to pieces. But for our having double the force of the Confederates, the entire army would have been slaughtered by Beauregard and his men. There is no need of lying about the matter — It does no good. The cheering news that went to Europe by the Asia is now contradicted by the Arabia to-day. I have no count that Beauregard will be driven away and his army will be destroyed, unless military in competence allow it to escape; but thus fertreason on the part of General Buall, or some other slave owner loving General, has perilled the cause of the country. These events of the war have discouraged the friends of t

Military Promotion. --We learn that Captain Wm. Francis McLean, late of the Ben McCulloch Rangers, has been tendered the position of Lieutenant Colonel of a regiment commanded by Colonel J. C. Morehead, of Kentucky, a nephew of Governor Morehead, imprisoned for his loyalty to the South in Fort Lafayette. The regiment is of the Army of the West, under Beauregard, and composed of artillery, cavalry and infantry. Captain McLean was an officer in the celebrated Texas Ranger regiment during the Mexican war — a regiment commanded by Col. Jack Hays, Lieut. Col. Ben McCulloch, and Major Chevallie. He is the only surviving person who escaped from the attack made by a large band of guerrillas on a party of Rangers near China, Mexico, known as the Dr. Alsbury massacre, in September, 1846. Captain McLean was, also, with Col. J. C. Morehead, who commanded the forces in several campaigns against the Indians on the line between the Southeastern part of California and the Indian Territory

Beaurgard and Price. --The magnanimity of Gen. Beauregard, we hear, prompted him to tender to Gen. Price any position in the coming battle at Corluth which he would indicate. Gen. Price replied to this magnanimous tender from the Commander-in-Chief that, if left to himself, he would take the position of "danger," whereupon he was assigned the front position, where he will lead off in the fight. We know not which most to commend — the magnanimity of Gen. Beauregard or the cool and brave --The magnanimity of Gen. Beauregard, we hear, prompted him to tender to Gen.
