P. KEARNEY, . Brig Gen. Commending 3d Division, dd Corpd OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. LETTER FROM GEN. ITALLECIR'S ARtIY BEFORE CORINTH, Miss., Mu 16, 1862 [Speciul Correspondence of The Press.] Those who, a fevr weeks ago, were lend in their denun ciations of the unceasing rains water-soaked , s Markeep,” Fremont's" and Is ;" muddy roads and slimy surfaces, generally, are now an_clously looking and playing for something from abcive substantially. moist.. At best, this is a torrid region, and as nothing of a vapory nature has descended upon us in this portion . of the hemisphere for some time, it would be folly for you be hazard p conjectrire as to the true otaleof the atmosphere. Indeed, it Is oppressively hot; and no recoarse can be bad to such beverages as sherry cobblers, mini Juleps, and lager beer ; to no such articles of apparel as linen pants, dusters, and palm-leaf or Panama hate. FEVER AND AGUE ON THE INCREASE Theo to no redeeming quality to this warm weather, 'except the cool nights, which constitute a strong contrast .with the excessive heat of the days, so much BO that re . ver and ague accompaniments are on the increase. But large and nunicions doses of quinine hnock the spots out • of the !they's-named disagreeable malady, if resorted to in time. By the way, all the soldiers take quinine and mor phine—one an efficacious tonic, and the other a mild oar colic. Ergo, I annihilate huge doses of the former and huge doses of the latter daily. A STRANGE 81811 T AT CORINTO For the peat three weeks we—meaning everybody— have been on the qui vies daily, our close proximity to the enemy naturally suggesting that we could not neces sarily remain in Ste quo lung. Met here we are, and history will yet inform us that the world never saw such a sight, which is an undeniable fact. Only think of it— within the hearing of each other's martial music are two opposing armies stationed, the composition of- both ma terially the sansethe manners and customs of both sub stantially the iame—both well clothed and equipped, and provided with in adequate supply of the munitions of war of the latest invention and most improved quality, and both conducted by generals of 12I1Q ueetion able ability and military science p and both of these grand armies are composed of Americana—Americana on the one side, wbo are nobly contending for the preaervation of the Jaws which euccessfnlly maintain tte only free Govern ment in the world—and Americans on the other side, who are fiercely resisting laws of a great, good, and powerful nation: NO APOLOGISTS FOB. .111 E REBELLION I base 3 et to meet the man south of :flagon and Dixon's . line who can offer to give the why and Wherefore of the rebellion ; they not attempt it.

B. 0. T. Letter from Gneral Aimy [Special Correspondence or The Press ] Winn; EOM POINT, Va., Alay 18,1882:` SUNDAY IN CAMP:_..,.. To.day is have had the warmest weather-that the army bait experienced slice it left Willbunsburg; but as it is thd Sabbath, the men rested from their serial toil' of drill and: preparation, and spent the day In as appro priate manner as possible. There was no nuivement of any lair.bodiesof troops, ire accordancewith General hleChilan'is directions as to . the Observance of the day. It is but Proper that the soldier 'should hail) a day of rest after his wearying six days' labor on the march and in the camp The men show the .benefit of this wise provision; by their improved condition for the next week's fatten% and in using the time thus, allowed thorn to the best advantage, in providing somewhat for their own creature comforts. This morning, after the . reli gious novices of the morning were over, the neighboring springs end banks of the river were crowded by the sol diers, some with handkerchiefs, others with Altai, etc., fa the p4poreO of washing them ; and'as' soon One set wt ulittimith and move away their places would be Mid by fresh arrivals. As a general rule, the soldiers pay much rsgioxl to cleanliness of person and habit. ARIISEIISIITS Or VIE, SOLDIERS Am thing affording amusement is eagerly ,sought for by the men. Quoits is a favorite game, and but . few of the regiments in thie section are not supplied with several sets. They find time tho 'egereisiti of the 'day for practice, and much rivalry. already exists between different errammies of the same regiments as to which company contains the most accomphated players. 'have seen neither' checkers nor chess, asyet. Cards are plenty, but not in mach vogue, except after pay.day. Then they make their appearance for a few slays; and dbiap pear mail the next Thrit of the; paymastor. It must not be thought for an instant that our array has any.number of men in a fair way of becoming accomplished gam - Mere, lerd it is impossible to collect any great nurri" , er of mania the manner in which these were gathered, without ad. mining such characters. The.snms played for are small, as moat of their pay is immediately sent home by the men to their families. Whenever the army is encamped pear - any river or large creek, the Men take advantage of it, and are soon in the water, bathing Great complaint is stilt made by the soldiers at the ex orbitant.prices charged by the sutlerefor all the articles cold in camp.. A loaf of bread, which sells for five cents in Newt ork or PhilMlelphia, could slat be .purchsseil a. week ego for less than twenty . five cents, kut Capt. Boyd, of the Lincoln Cavalry, and now provost marshal, inter fered for the protection of. the men, and the same can now he purchased for twelve cents. But the hig'i price of Mead is not all that requires remedy. Sugar is sold at from fifty cents to a dollar per pound. Butter cannot be had, nor is it wanted. Pies, which are made in Bal.. timore. and sold there at five dollars per hundred, are retailed here ar twenty-five cents each. Lemons, which are greatly hi dtniand among the soldiers, are sold at five cents each♦ Gingerbread, which retails at six - cents a dozen in Philadelphia, rare sold here at twentrlilve cents per dozen. Cheese, or which large guntitities are used, retails at. twenty-five to fifty cents per pound. These prices allow too large a margin for the sutlers. THE APPEARANCE Hr THE PLACE West Point and its vicinity begins to show' a military appearance: A space of ober& four square miles is en closed between the banks of the river and the wooda t which extend in a rend-circle around the encampment. Tbe opposite side of the river is cavered with a dense forest, end nothing can be seen exctpt the universal green of the, foliage of the trees and matted vines. The,. ahem on each' side of the river are lined with the charred timbers'of the burnt in idge, and pieces of vessels, masts, and spare. In every 'direction can be seen the sad re sults ef thee - ph-It of devastation which urges the rebelsto . destroy vsbat they are unable or too, cowardly to defend. The whole apace between the woods and river it .now covered with diviaiona of the army, long arrays of - hag ! . gage wagons and mule teams, and large numbers of am bulancvs, a , large supply of which will be on hand if needed for the - wounded in tho battle for the possession . of 'Richmond, if one is ever fought. The telegraph'poles are up, but the wires - were carried away ify the rebate. We have a poet office and news depot, which constantly accaopany the ,peneral - headguartera.

All marauding is . forbid den by the articles of war and a SON'ore penalty provided. To-day., bmwever, one of the regiments bad struck their tents and had packed everything up ready to march, and had been waltieg sense time. The captain of a company in therigimont, wishing to provide for his men, ordered some potatoes, and wentto a neighboring negro hut and purchased a pig, Pa 3 !Ili for it' at the time. He then pent to the DroYost marshal anal obtained permission to shoot it, and as be wee doing eo a general officer rode up end ordered his arrest, .and the captain was placed..Mitis tent under guard, on the charge of marauding. The charge cannot be substantiated, as he bought and paid for the pig, and obtained the provost nmrshalis permis. .sion to shoot it. There is no doubt, however, that the Captain will ba released when the facts are brought to lig.gowatoiSsANCES AND Armied reconnoissancee are now being made with a view to the ascertainment of the preparations in front of us, lint thus far nothing formidable hie yet been vend, although they bare Lieu made to within about sixteen miles of Richmond. We are now about twenty five miles from Richmond, and from the character of the preparations which are now being made, the people at the North will not be required to wait much longer be fore the rebel force at the rebel capital will bays been completely routed, or else will have made another eva cuation.

Others expreql the opinion that they dare not venture upon the trip until the forts below New Orleans ere reduced and their trump nler got up. We . cannot see anything in the way of their gunboats going up the river immediately. A few of them will be able to bold New Orleans in nee, whPo a few - others can go up the river and reduce every town on its batiks." We moat not bo bled to the fact that trairors are plenty, and that Abe enemy is kept well informed of the condition of oar detencee. They know as well Iris , we ere fixed , along the river as we .do, and in view of this they nabs smart enough to take advantage of the time they have gods.ea, and not wait until we can blockade the river at awry available Dog with fcrmidable batteries, and remora or destroy all the WO W& property along the shore. We don't believe they will delay long in their trip. and wbatever we may determine to do must be done immediately.
