Every offer of battle we have made — and they have not been a few — he has pertinaciously refused. Perhaps he is not ready. If so, his very lack of readiness shows his weakness. Perhaps he is waiting reinforcements. Then he shows a proper appreciation of Southern prowess. Perhaps, and this is doubtless the true cause of his delay, he is fortifying himself to prevent his total rout and annihilation.

From the Southwest.[from our army Correspondent.] Corinth, Miss., May 24, 1862. Life in the Army of the Mississippi is like the boys' game of "see-saw." How you go up to the seventh heaven of expectation on the end of some imaginary contingency, and now you come down to mother earth, with some thumping disappointment. Such has been the experience of the last forty-eight hours. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, everybody talked "fight," from the Generals down to camp cooks. Everything indicated fight from the individual preparing his five days rations to the mass already in motion, and a prophet might have staked his reputation upon the probability.

Strange to say, nobody yet fears him, and what may be stranger still to him, he may possibly find the recoil so much stronger than the first report that he will "fly the track." Our Generals are not idle. Eyes are watching every Federal movement, and reports come from the other side of the lines with on even regularity. We know, for instance, that Gen. Sigel has just landed at Pittsburg with twenty thousand troops; that star-gazing Mitchell is on his way, and that other reinforcements will augment the Federal army to a strength of about ninety thousand. More men than this I do not believe they can muster into service, and if these stay where they are ten days longer, fifteen thousand sick will be subtracted from the above sum total. The health of our army is, on the contrary improving. Well's lately bored are supplying pure water, vegetables are beginning to come in from the surrounding cities, and with these changes in

The last information at hand corroborates all we have received from the Federal for the last ten days. They are concentrating troops heavily on our right and bringing forward their masses from the river. Probably their base of operations is Pea Ridge, a slight elevation about ten miles distant. On this may be erected their strongest works, to which those immediately in front are mere covers. Their rear division on the centre is at Monterey, while Pope on the left and McClernand on the right, have moved heavy portions of their commands to a close proximity with our lines. Skirmishing every day. Men frequently killed and wounded. Artillery practice between pickets about three times a week.

n you've got in the wrong box," said the picket. "I am a Confederate soldier, and these are the Confederate lines.--You are my prisoner." Calling the officer of the guard, the man was delivered up, and the next day confessed his crime to Gen. Jackson, saying that his heart was not in the work, that he was an Englishman by birth, and started to desert to the enemy for the purpose of telling them all he knew. On the strength of this information, Jackson dispensed with the formalities of a CJackson dispensed with the formalities of a Court-Martial; and ordered the man out to be shot, which was done without ceremony. I saw another shot the day previous, convicted of being a spy. Such things, however, have become common in the army, and draw only such a crowd as may happen to be within hearing distance.
