It's a blessing and a privileges] to sit-in the shads on a hot day like this, even if ono bee nothing better to do than to write long-winded lettere to one's friends. The shade of a tree— a common ".black-jack"—is welcome; the shade of a "fly" • luxury. I don't mean .a common Sy ; I allude to that pert of a mar quee which resembles an awning. You have seen them serving as Barcena from raitilind sun. When tbo tents boconie intolerable (about noon) and even the ground beneath the trees seems hot, and more than commonly active, i. r:alive with ticks, bugs, spiders and lizards, you resort to the fly, your lastrefage, there to keep company with the ante, great and small, which feed upon the crumbs that drop from the tops boxes which serve you for a table, and which you art{ a table with as much gravity es if it werothe best mahog any, as for that matter, marble-topped. piarble-tops never provoked Such healthy appetites as those which remote the rations Uncle Sam supplies to this same table, rough though it be.] We talk about 'setting the table,' of course, just as you do it home. . We go to the table for a cap if. wi w . eiwant a drink of water, and—l know you w ilt be very much astonlshed—we serval the table regularly; that is, we try to keep the cover, I mean the upper sides of the bozo, clean. But let the boxes take their own purt4l was thinkr ing of Corinth when I began this, and to Corr is:lth let me return'. It is remarkable how often Corinth has bee t ours, and how often it has been evacuated said recaptured by the Confederates: Those who are nearest the Junction, always thankful for small favors, are eery thankful inn. the agreet able, though often stereotyped information, vouchsafed us by correspondents, through Western and North-Western papers, and who; at the distance ottwenty-five and thirty miles even from our heavy reserve, Gan tell us so well all that we are doing, and very much that we are not doing, to say nothing of the ex.• traordinary activity of the rebels, under that übiquitous personage usually styled Beaure. gard. A fertile imagination it a very good thing—in its way—and sometimes it is pro ductive of—well, genuine pleasure; merri ment, as in the present eatn. We aro all laughing here at ourown achiceoments--can't help it even in hot weather. At the lowest calculation, we have a severe engagement, if nut a terrible. conflict, every day. Our sober sided, cool, calculating Generals, instead of attending to the business we Imagine them to be wholly occupied with, are off bag and bag gage, thundering away at the retreating reb els, miler beyond - what is commonlrualled their headquarters. And somehow; those nearest; Corinth are farthest from it--the flrstlast, and; the last first. This is the cause of our laugh-: ter ; for we see what assumption and pre- - tonce manufaotnreif. But with those really, unacquainted with the disposition of our: forces, it must be a different matter ; they fail, to get the thread straight after: reading these reports. The best plan in that ease, is to par no sort of attention to these reports—not even. to the *.very highest authority." I am- no newspaper correspondent—am a soldier, I be lieve, at present, and write as such, and I have no desire to write about 'things that I know nothing at all about. I am In hemp near Corinth. I beg leave to dubdiit the fol lowing facts : let, The Federal army le near Corinth, Lut not is it. 3d, The Confederates are in poe session of Corinth and near us. 3d, The Con federates never evaeuated.Corinth. 4th, They never recaptured Corinth. I, in company with aliumber of others hereabouts--almast a large army, arrived at these parts after due delib eration, and the fullest exercise of our senor, of bearing, cooing and feeling. Gen. Thomas' men (formerly under Grant) form our right, Gnu. Popo our left, while we, under Gen. Buell, form the centre. But bri gades, and even divisions', change ground, so that it would be dilacult to keep the run of the advances,retirements and' ‘coonoissances. I suppose the average distance of our line of battle from Corinth is four miles and a half. That we are on the alert, hard at work com pleting roads, and in capital' condition, you may rent assured. I would caution you against the common error of crier-estimating. The ground we now occupy is all that could be desired for camping on. Althsingh broken, the ridges are just about wide enough to permit a regiment to encamp on conveniently; and we have nothing but a succession of these billowy ridges. Towards Corinth the land is more level, the soil poorer. I was out through Farmington the other day, where Gen. I"..pe drew out the !rebels, and where he whipped them completely. Or dered back again, be is now mote than a mile in the rear el the village. Farmington Is a wretched hamiet—a deserted 'village with the eldest air imaginable—utterly dilapidated, and now the scanty elicitor of our videttee land scouting parties, who, thereabouts, are apt to hear the rebel bullets singing closer to Obetr ears than is exactly hgrecablo. - Our . pickets are within half a mile of;the village, !which is composed of some twenty odd huts, t principally built of logs. A solitary black !pig—a "shoat," which escaped the hands of 'our men, and the only "native"-I. could see, isnaffed the air In a troubled lay, and trotted off from me without risking d grunt.

The grand army of the Union is drawing closer and closer upon the rebel works at Corinth. The Mobile .b Ohio railroad passes through Corinth in a direction nearly north and south, and the Memphis & Charleston railroad in a line nearly east and west. Our army, under Gen:'Halleck, fills the northeast quadrant thus formed, in an arc extending from one railroad to the other. The three grand divisions are Gen. Thomas' army of the 1 Tennessee, Gen. Buell's army of Kentucky, and Gen. •Pope's army of the Mississippi, occupying respectively these positions from right to left. The former has out off the rebel commani ations from the north, Gen. Popo has burned a bridge three miles from Corinth, on the !Memphis & Charleston railroad, and now. Gen; Mitchell, having pressed forward from the scene of hie successes in''Northern Alabama, has ere this, as to believed, eat off the retreat of the rebels southward by tap ping the-H. lc 0. railroad, below Corinth. Gen. Mitchell's pickets at the last advices were contiguous to those of Gen. Pipe. Of the army befo're Corinth, a little over 25 per cent. are sick of diseases growing out of exposureand the execrable water of the region. At Hamburg, on Friddy, there were 4,000 sick, and thetherwometer stood at 92° in the shade. The post at Pittsburgh had been abandoned, and the hospital boats removed to Hamburg, such was the unenduring stench arising from the decomposing remains on the late battle field. And while we are speaking of the san itary condition of our army, our readers may be interested to know that the Sinitary Com- . mission are forwarding large quantities of salt codfish for use in checking the bowel diseases of the camp. On Friday last a liberal squad of Federal prisoners were sent in from the rebel lines, among them over sixty of the Curtis Horse. The reason stated by deserters and those re turned prisoners themselves, w hy they were liven up, was that the rebels wore short of provisions, and having an army of 150,000 men on half rations, did net wish to keep ex tra boarders. On the same day a rumor was brought in that Beauregard had sent a strong column down the Mobile and Ohio toward Danvffle, to fortify that point. Still another rumor prevailed in the Federal camps on Sat urday that Beauregard bad asked for a few days' armistice to decide upon terms of sur render.—Chboosso Tribune. =3l=lZ=Zl= The Situation Before Corinth General Sterling Price It is almost certain that the famous General Sterling Price, of Missouri, is dead. If the assertions of professed witnesses of his death are reliable, this remarkable man was killed in the late battle of Farmington. 110 will be greatly missed by the rebel leaders. He was their smartest—we will not say ablest man. As brave as McCulloch, ho was vastly his su perior in every requisite fur a dangerous plot ter of political iniquity. In Missouri ha had been held in high esteem, and had been large ly confided in, by his fellow partisans of the pro-slavery Democratic school. As an in triguer in State polities be had few equals; and as a stamp-orator he could arouse the ardor of the masses, as well as say man in his party. When the rebellion broke out, he was about the only man in Missouri ready to risk life in the cense. He was perhaps the only man who could have drawn to himself sympathisers in such numbers as to make rebellion in that State at all formidable. We cannot speak of him as si -romantic adventurer ; but he was an adventurer who contrived to infuse a tincture• of romance intd his manoeuvres. Alone and unaided he raised at least three armies-:-he (ought several severe battles, and* accomplished numberless retreats in a manner that astonished educated military men. At the battle of Springfield, where the noble Lyon was killed, ho was second in command, Ben. Mkt;Hoch being first. Price was the leading spirit of Arkansas as well as Mis souri; now that he in dead, hundredt,who followed him into the field, simply because ho led them, will throw down their arms or desert. i Haring made a junction since the battle of Shiloh, with Beanregard, he was in the engagement at Farnii 4 ngwn, and, as the reports isy r was shot dead by Cul. Roberta' sharpshooters.. His death will be a heavy loss to the 'rebels. • The south-west is now rid of the three most influential and desperate conspirators against the Union, McCulloch, Mclntosh and Price ; there can be found no men to take the place of those.three upon the roll of the rebel army, or who will .engage to an equal degree, the imaginations and energies of the rebel r..nk and die.—Chicago Tribuise: flow They 'Were Paid Off..-Oar Southern Brethren. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Com mercial notices the following incident of a !skirmish near Corinth: The rebels lost large numbers in killed and wounded—how many I could not aseertain. Even iu Mose skirmishes they displayed that 'treacherous, barbarian spirit for which they have already "immortalized" themselves. flora trona instance. Our men fired at one of theirs, and killed him instantly. He fell :within 80 yard' of oar lines. One of hie comrades cried out "Will you not let us get that man?'

VOLUME LXXV---NO. 160. The Case of Major Williams A special dispatch to,the New York Times says: The announcement of the arrest and con- ' finement of Major Lawrence Williams, of . ..the Sixth Regular Cavalry, on a charge of hold. , leg treasonable intercourse with the rebels menacing Gen. McClellan's army, creates little surprise in Waski . ttigton. Major Williams is known here as an officer whose loyalty:has frequently been questioned: His brother, while en aid to Gen. Scott; is known to have lived at Arlington Rouse, and daily infoinied Gen. Lee of all movements at the War Depiirt ment. When Gen. Lee joined the rebelarmy, `this fellow went with him, and ho is believed still to be in the Confederate service, and to have married a daughter of Loa. Major Williams was an aid, with rank of Lieutenant, to Albert Sidney Johnston while in Utah, and subsequently a Captain upon the staff of McClellan. When the Sixth 0/11.. airy was organized, he by sotne.means .pro cured the position of Major, to the great in dignation, it is said, of Gen. limiter, tho' , Pol- . onel of the regiment. His exquisite aresizind foppish manners excited. the disgust of sensi ble visitors at Winard'a during the entire Winter, and his boaited'eonquesta among the ladies provoked the laugh - tor of the town, albeit be moved in the base "circles. Re' has always managed, until the present campaign of McClellan's, to avoid active service or per form only staff duty. From Williamsburg W/LLI/11.911URG, VB., May 18.—Col. David Campbell, of the sth PennsylvaninaCalialry, is now Military Governor of this city. ICapt. T. Hennessy, of the same regiment, haa:been appointed Provost Marshal, and is nowiaccu pied in the duties of that responsible office— granting paroles, filling up passes, adMinie tering oaths of allegiance, and generally..pro serving order. The Provost Marshal occupies the house (the finest in the city) of the late Mayor. The city is full of woundeil:; : men; chiefly Confederates, many of whom will die. The late battle was far more severe than is generallrbelieved. The rebel soldiers appear perfectly convinced of the justice of, their cause, and expect its ultimate success.: The Confederates were splendidly handled in the late battle, and military men toll me that the retreat from Yorktown was ably exiiinted. The works at Williamsburg are immensely strong. Johnson mint have feared roc hie rear or flank, cr be would never have iivacn. stsdithem. The belief is that Johnson will avoid a battle with McClellan, unlesslie can choose , the position. The people here are secessionists of the bluest kind, and bear the presence of the Federal troops with this:worst possible grace. I omitted to mention that Capt. T. Hennessy, the Provost Marsh - al, is a member a the Philadelphia bar, . a capital horseman, and now a thoroughly disciplined soldier. Employosantof Blacks in Gea. Dowell's Department FALMOUTH, Va., Saturday, May 17.---Capt.

Davis, inttead of adding to the strength of the rebel cattle, will most probably hare a powerful intineno In its destruction. It is known that the GOvernor of North Carolina has refuted to furnish any more troops, and' that Governor Le(Ohcr, of Virginia, vehemently protested against it. Even in South Carolina It arouses disgust. The Columbia South Carolinian says "This (the conscription act) is a great and nighty stride to a militarY consolidation. if it IA absolutely, necessary to save us fronts . con quest by the North,- we are willing tesubsait to it, but we fear the public mind must prepare itself for a great change in our Government." LAW.—Gen. EIECEJTION OP THE FUOITI*6: SLAVE LAW.—Gen. 'Wadsworth, the military Gov ernor of the District, has informed thp Mar shal that there area number of fugitive slaves under military' protection, and thatho does not desire them interfered with untGhe has investigated their cases—the loyalti of the claimants.. The United States Marshal as sented to-the request of Gen.' W. It is esti mated that some ilia hundred define have been made for fugitive slaves escaping! . to. this District. Largo numbers of the slaves are at work over in Virginia upon reads, ?Cita, cut ting wood, &c. These cannot be regilainted, as there is no civil tribinal to enforce the law.
