There is no doubt but that he intended a further movement in the same direction the next day; but a movement had been made which had effectually cut him off. Gen. Hurlbut had started from Bolivar at two o'clock on Saturday morning, and was now directly in his front, and in possession of the only road leading to Ripley. Gen. Rosecranz also started in pursuit at day-light Sunday morning. Thus Price was all day yesterday between two fires, Hurlbut in his front and Rosecranz in his rear. The roar of artillery was distinctly heard yesterday at 4 P M. at Bolivar and Corinth. What the result is, is not yet known; but I am assured by high official authority that the results are glorious. The rebel dead are strewn along the road for five miles from Corinth to where they had a hospital.--They have lost two general officers.

George Webster, of the 98th Ohio, acting Brigadier of the 34th brigade, was severely wounded Firing ceased about seven o'clock on the evening at the 8th. A doubtful rumor says that at the close of the engagement the rebels had possession of a part of the field. General Sheridan, of Illinois, is reported killed, but it is doubtful. Our loss is stated at two thousand killed and wounded. The rebel loss was unascertained. The enemy is north of Perryville. A general attack is expected immediately by our troops.

n of the Federal. The New York papers contain very little additional about the battle at Corinth. The Herald has a regular Munchausen letter, evidently written just after the writer's tenth horn. It says: Early in the morning Price made a fierce and determined attack on our right, near the entrance of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to the town. This attack was intended as a feint, as the main body of the rebels under Van-Dorn were on our left, concealed in the low ground behind College Hill.--The ruse, however, did not succeed. The contest lasted until half-past 11 o'clock A. M. The enemy drove in our centre, and a large number of them penetrated to the Corinth House. The most desperate fighting took place in the public square of the town. It is said to be literally covered with the dead. Finally they are driven out at the point of the bayonet, and Gen. Hamilton secured the centre with two regiments. Van-Dorn and Lovell made a most determined attack on the extreme

rushing up to the months of the cannon, many of them being blown to atoms. Many houses in Corinth are badly shattered by shot and shell. One shell plunged through the Tishomingo House, killing a wounded soldier. More than half the rebels are barefoot; many are ragged and have ears of corn in their haversacks. Northern account of the skirmish at black-water. A letter in the New York Herald, dated Suffolk. Oct. 4th, gives their version of the skirmish near Franklin, in Southampton, a few weeks since, He announces that General Gustavus W. Smith was in command of the Confederates, which is just about as true as the rest of the story, which is as follows: On Thursday evening Major-General Peck ordered a reconnaissance in force, which was placed under command of Col. Spear, of the 11th Pennsylvania cavalry. Col. Spear started upon his mission about 9 o'clock, and on Friday drove in the enemy's pickets upon the main body, which was command by General G. W. Smith.

e expiration of President Lincoln's term of office. Everybody, however, is sick of hostilities, and the troops desire to return to their homes; yet one constantly hears the remark, "You may exterminate us, but you cannot subjugate us." A French gentleman from Georgia, by way of Richmond, arrived in New York on the 9th, with some "interesting details concerning the spirit and the operations of the rebels in the various parts of the country through which he passed." On his way from Atlanta to Richmond he saw the country people enlisting for the war indicative of a strong national feeling and of the sense of the perils to which the Confederacy was exposed. As to those who showed a reluctance to muster, they were compelled by the force of public opinion, and sometimes by physical compulsion, to join the others. The sentiments expressed in his presence were indicative of the immutable resolution to conquer the independence of the South or to perish in the conflict. In so

Rapid Movements of the Federal army. A letter from Louisville, October 6th, says: The news from the front to day, while it is of an extremely interesting nature, yet has a smack of disappointment in it. At all points the rebels fly as our forces advance, without giving us a chance to fight them; and so rapidly is Buell pushing his columns forward that the retirement of the reb
