They artre bai.ed in, and dreadfully beaten oat.Major General Eoseerail.[Oom*tlt;mlt;l«noe of tbe Missouri Bepnblican.1| Cobibth, Missouri, Oct. 26, 1862,Wonld you not like to hear from this obtuse angle of the triangle ot the locality of the Array of the Nissiesippi ? *V. I • MOURN lift. IThere in weepitg and wailing p.nd gnashing of the teeth, figuratively speaking, in this camp, of tleuaauds. The man of tnc army leaves this morning, at tin a’clockj for Oin-cincati, there, it vt rumored, to tko a new,udtram meled, important command. Somesay he is to take Buell’s grand army to Vicksburg and Mobile. If b? starts with it he will et there- Mind the prophecy. Others say e will take half of Buell’s forces—s»y 60,000, and clean out North Alabama, Georgia, and raise a prodigious dost, olear to the Gulf, in conjunction with Major General Grant. Others, again, send the hero, Loeccras, down the Mississippi. Bat they and I don’t exactly know. The secret fe lecked up in the b)Fom of Father Abraham and his confessors. We will all know in . time, and wo ell know, cow, that wherever ; Rosecrnn# goss, there goes a true m ’.n and 1 General, whose labor, skill end genius acquire military success, even if 1 is native modesty forbids his claiming it. Oould the battle of Corinth be pictured truly and mliy, as itshou d be, iha people of the great Nurth. fully aroused from their feather bids and warm breakfasts, would pant to do honor to Rfpecracs. Therefore, I repeat, there is mourning in these tents of secesaia If?ael. and shoulder-straps, sutlers, teamsters ana niggers, from high to low degree, swear bv their beards—for all wear ’em—that, they will follow General Roeecrane. My hi arty good wishes, end those of every Union man in the nation, ditto. • • * VThere in this eorner of the town, la wherethe enemy came in—a tremendous exhibit of mortal daring—where, formed in double line, eight deep, with heads bowed, and arms across their breasts, on they rushed a*, double qtrck, in tie faoe of our belching cross fire arnTMMTt and tnmendoos short range musketry. An eyewitness of these moments stated that many of their killid sank thus tothe earth, as if kneeling; other* threw up their arms and tottered back. As they came cn, Roeecrans waa with his troops, amidst tre bail ol missiles, He was tbe hero of thehour, riding here and there, unconscious of dar get in his a: dor and eagerness, ox hor tin hitmen to raid. His foim wa?. proud an erect, and his noble bay horse was fired withescittmint. Both were a bobject for a picture, as well as an inspiriting hptctdcjp for the eoMier. As the enemy c«ma on, into that side-of the town, determined, but so dr*tdfully cut up, shaken, and exhausted by the hurried march of nearly a mile, a new battery, built the night previou?, under Ge»* IcseoraJMl* pe.sonaT c bservtibn, and where he spent most ot that opened upon them. Its dreadful welcoulgrape and cannliter staggered them, and the aylt; net charge of oar fresher troops turned the tcale. The day was lost, and they £l*d, retreating in something like order, but deathly slaughter falling upon their roar,until they had gained the adjacent forests. Such fighting—such slaughter—such strategy — ruch a victory—let history perpetuate among tie ghastly and glorious records of the rebellion, it is here now well kno^n tla this batele was fought as Goa. Roacraas had supposed and planned. He wa* fully ia formi d, by his scouts, of the approach. * He. es we:l be the enemy, knew his weakest and tleir best place of approach.
