The shots were thick and fast, and told %%kb a thrilling effect. In the meantime, Gen.

In facevar this combination of circulmjairei'.l, the rebels felt that their enterprisi was tor the day a failure, and as night was about' at band they slowly fell back, lighting as they went, until they reached an advantageous position, and yet occupying the main toad to Corinth.

Aecurdingly a messenger was sent, orileiing the Tyler and Lesinglita to steam up to Hamburg, four miles nnove, and on no uc. casion to tire inland before reaching that point, as our men had driven theenemy so tar that the shells might injure the wrong party.

CaARGE OF YOE CAVALRY. I have neglected heretofore to mention that, from Sunday noon until night, and from Mon day morning up to the lime I have now reach ed; in this-uutline description of the battle, not less than three thousand cavalry had re maied seated in their saddles do • the hill-top overlooking the river, patiently and earnestly awaiting the arrival of the time when an order should come for them to pursue the dying enemy. That time had now arrived, and a courier from Gen. Grant bad scaacely deliver ed •his massage, before the entire body was in motion!' • • Those who have never witnessed a ebarge of so large a race 'Of borsetben ithodld have been there to have seen the wild tumult ort he eager riders, and apparently equally ekcited steeds. The enemy have been driven beyond our former lines, and ate in full retreat in the threction or Corinth. An ord 'aturgedn;' who has been long in the service, and who has just returned' from tje field fur the first time since the battle begun, said to me as he sat down to night on the river bank: ::1 have been present at both Roll Run and Fort Doneison, but they were skirmishes to what I have seen since yesterday morning." Such it seems is the testimony of all with whomq 'have conversed in relation to this great contest. THE FORCE KNOAORD--lIILLAD AND WOUNDRD As near as I can estimate the entire force engaged in this conflict, I have set down nrthe opening of the battle as being' about .sixty thousand on the rebel side, with a somewhatt smaller number, say over fifty thousand, on owe, This morning witnessed an addition its oUrtrnops of about twelve thousand men, while from the testimony of the rebel prisoners taken to-day th 2 reinforcements to the enemy wets about eight thousand men, more than half of • wlanna bad been left at Corinth when the troops aibrear fram that point on Saturday evening last. • ' • The intimate knowledge possessed by the enemy of every foot of the contested soil on which the battle was fought, gave them a greater advantage than was awarded us by the trifling Increase in numbers,“but on .either side the Settler was fought with A desperation which I could not have beliesxd to exist in the minds of men, unless in cases of rsttong personal grievance. The determination appeared, even under the most galling fire, to be victory or death. The Mirsissippians, on the side of the enemy, were the ruling spirits. • • The rebel loss in killed must have been nearly double the estimate I bate made as to our own. Their wounded are also very great 'renumbers, although perhaps not so great in proportion, as Minie balls are more , fatal than those ogually fired from Mississippi rifles, the old •IlerpePs Ferry, or even the Alguirs of 'which•rtiey seemed to have a large number. In regard to our killed and wotindadA shell refrain frpm mentioning anything fkirtber than I have in •I"hetner parts of the episite.; The various • rumors afloat, without a alladow of foundation,justlfyine in this determination.— As a total, I would set down our killed, during the two days fight, at near one thousanir and our wounded aratient thirty five hundred.' I find bat few, who have an equal opportunity of judging, but set any estimate at too low a 44. fire• Many of the wounded are trivially in njured, and will scion be able to again perforin the duties of R soldier's life. No correct estr. mate ems b e weds .rwithin the next five days, as it wilt require some time to gather the wounded toksfher, and inter the dead: rThe confusion' of theAscrai at which I welts, to early afaer,the dose of the battle, prevents any more accuracy than I have given in this par.

I find in speaking to many of the farmers on th'Et (sweet) subject, that there is "still a some thing wanting," io get the cultivation of Sorghum properly under way. They one and all say, they would cultivate the crop, if they could only find a 'way to manufac: tare the syrup. Now the cost of a crusher is about fifty dollars, and of an evaporator of the smallest size about the same: so that one hundred dollars is more money than most farmers are disposed to invest in what, jo those unacquainted with the results, is yet a doubtful experiment. There are many establishments in the west, and several in oar n2i4gaiing county of Chester, whore men put tip crushers Ind evaporators on a scale competent to manufacture the syrup, o: zinger,' for a whol! 'ns4glborhood—make a regular husine r ss of i 6 fur some months, manufacture it an the shares, or a certain per tentage, and Gad it ^ pay:ag business. . Now, if some person 11? Calum la, or its vi cinity, would i(jt up ' an establishairt of this kind, wo would scion see fitritiers ing acres of the plant, and in the mall haul ing the cane for miles to *hail, it turned into syrup or sugar. This is no visionary scheme, the writer of thii experimented suf t. ficiently to be competent to warrant it a pay ing projeit ail round, if properly conducted. Why should iltrinera be continually tread ing in the beaten path? raise oats, wheat, grass, beef? when. if we make a clopie cal culation, we will find that we are barely "keeping the scales on a balance," over and shove pdr expanses! Change is the "or'der of nature"--'old customs are passing away, arid - those who wish to keep up with the times must ' , ileac! as well its run" (if 'yoii Mr. Zditor Allow 's, fianspositicAsc:f the ; . oft tiuoYMTsentenee)., Like_ many other of thetneeessaries of life, this Sot% seems to have beenEjittaduced last nt4e very "nicV of t'ine,f)hili'sliigar 'ls,.becour; ing more and more #tieauss'itY; sa d at the same time rising in ?riot). !!Tds'uald,.".o- cessity is the motyer 41_,Sitt‘vdolionl" necessity may also be.the tab`ther of discover ies; substitutes, &c. i.llow,.itzwas thought by OUt:_.§Mithra friends-(!) - that - "ctiitoirwms That-Allusigla will soon -be dissi pated.
