and that regiments which were disorganized have been merged into what are called "Union" brigades. The entire army has been divided into three divisions, after the manner of that of the Potomac, under the respective commends of Generals Grant, Buell, and Pope, each of which corps is an effective and completely organized army in itself — These are known by the names of the "Army of West Tennessee." (Gen. Grant's;) the "Army of the Ohio," (Gen. Buell's;) and the "Army of the Mississippi," (GenGen. Buell's;) and the "Army of the Mississippi," (Gen. Pope's)--all of these being under the supreme command of Gen. Halleck. This vast machinery of war has begun its work. The ball has commenced rolling.

The Tennessee has fallen several foot, its tributaries are rapidly drying, malarious influences are at work, and disease will quickly be doing its work among his troops as effectually as Confederate balls and steel. Affairs at Fort Pillow have been varied by a small battle between Jeff. Thompson and Commodore Montgomery, with his cotton fleet, and the redoubtable Yankee gun and mortar boats. We ran into some of each, and sunk one of both kinds. The cotton sides proved an effectual batter to the artillery of the enemy, although the "quarters" were so close that the fire of their guns actually touched our boats. Altogether, we lost two killed and eight wounded. The victory would have been made complete but for the unfortunate retreat of the Yankees to shoal water, where we

The war in the Southwest. [from our Army Correspondent.] Corinth, May 24, 1862. Hourly we are watching for important developments. The enemy have again advanced on all sides, and in great force. Hope's division, before our right, embraces about forty thousand men, while Buel is coming in the centre. Grant and Thomas are said to be approaching by the left. Skirmishing was going on yesterday nearly all day at intervals, but without special results. As to our own army, it is daily strengthening the works, or taking new positions corresponding with those of the enemy, and we have every arrangement made that can be suggested by the skill and wisdom of our leaders to meet and beat back the human tide that is being hurled against us. Our men are in the best of spirits and anxious for the impeding crash to be over. We are living with nerves strung to their utmost tension. Hardly an hour passes by, day or night, when the "alarum" is not sounded in our ears, and we are call

The late skirmish showed conclusively their indisposition to resist. As Beauregard remarked while riding along our lines--"Boys, don't be afraid, they can't stand; they run every time they see you!" The fact in the Yankee army was so decimated and demoralized by the battle of Shiloh that Haileek has had his hands full in at they might pass ten abreast through the eye a cambric needle without touching, and then be turned into the skull of an Arkansas mosquito for a lilliputian baby rattle. Confederate money, which has been "down" in Memphis, is recruiting. Beauregard has issued an order authorizing the arrest of every man who refuses the "spondulix, " and one or two valiant citizens have already taken a private thrashing from incensed Missourians, because they declined Government bills in payment of the nec
