. The Yankees will find the optima spolia of Vicksburg not unmixed with the rich prize of death. Corinth has recently been reinforced by infantry and light artillery. Grienson has pompously gone there to command the cavalry forces, and information has been received that preparations are being made for a raid upon an extensive scale. A commander with ordinary ability, permission to act at discretion, and a proper spirit, could, with such soldiers as there are in the commands of Bateau, Inge, Boyle, Ham, &c., and the well-managed artillery of Owens and Barksdale, ambuscade any such force of marauders, separate them, and whip them by detail.--The material is here — have we the leader?

The writer says: It was chiefly an artillery and cavalry action, lasting about two hours, between eight hundred men on each side, commanded respectively by Colonel Logan and General Andrews. Logan, it is true, dismounted some of his men, but a cavalryman dismounted is still a cavalryman. If the enemy were not surprised, Logan charged on them with such impetuosity as to give the affair all the character of a surprise to the blue coats. The hottest of the action occurred in the immediate vicinity of that literary institution, Centenary College, whose classic walls bear the marks of grape, shrapnel, and Minnie balls.
