The Confederates occupied the enc- in s encampment last nigh*. This in.u ning the enemy resumed the fight Inning received 7,0(H) reinforcements t'.otn (’rump’s landing. They fought bravely, but the Confederates repulsed them twice. About ten o’clock furth er huge reinforcements were brought up by I’uell. The fighting now be came desperate along our whole line. 1 lie battle is still rag.ng, with varied t utune, more furiously than yesterday. We took 2,000 prisoners yesterday, who arc now in Corinth, and several batteries to day, and lost some. I cannot give particulars. Gen. Beaure gard commands, assisted bv Polk, Bragg, Hardee, Breckinridge, and olhers. Generals Cheatham, Bowen and Clerk are slightly wounded. The loss is heavy on both sides. It rained hard last night, and considerable to day. Shiloh, 9 o clock, P. M., Apr it 7, via. Corinth.—The battle has raged all ii.iy, and night alone .stopped the com batants. The fight was more obstinate and bilious than on yesterday. The loss on both suits is very heavy. The enemy was heavily reinit rccri through out the day. Seeing this, General Bcauiegard withdiew his troops back ol the f ederal encampment; the enemy followed up, when the battle was re newed anil continued until night, each side maintaining its position The Cunfedeiates fought two whole days, while the enemy was eonstanlh rein- huved with iiesli tloops. Cmi-itli, Aprils. Both sides are two badly worsted to renew the fight this morning. The enemy fell back last night, and to day we are returning to onr former lines. The Confederates are confident and in line spirits. Corinth, April 10.—Immediately al ter tin 1 battle Beauregard sent a (lag of liner concerning the burial of the dead. Gen. Grant replied yesterday that be cause of tlie warm weather he had made heavy details for the burial of the dead of both parties, and that the work was already accomplished. He, there- fore, refused to receive parties within the Federal lines for that purpose.— H:s n ate was respectfully addressed to < ient rul Beauregard,Commanding Con federate army, Miss. At Monterey the courier found the Federals busy putting their camps in order, and looking after the dead and wounded. The t umber of Confederates killed is much less than was at fust supposed. The num ber of wounded was comparatively slight—the timber affording fine pro lection for the Confederates. Prison ers are sliU- eofnuig in. Nearly -1,000, including abort 200 officers hive ar- i ived. The Federals daily send out strong recoimoitering parties, and are con stantly surprised by 11 jo Confederates and many killed and captured. The Confederates are holding firmly their old lines, the men are in good condi tion and ready for another fight. Our wounded all armed this morning and sent to Memphis ar.il Oxford.

Referring to the transfer of this salt water fire cater to the command of the steam ram 1 ivginiu, the Memphis vl/>- /»al has the following, which wo correct io tiie item o! the gallant venteran’s age. Commodore Tattnall is now from sixty three to sixty five years old. The call of Commodore Tattnall to the command of the Virginia is the best lliing tho Government could have done. Tattnall is known as "the lion heart ml Commodore, and very proparly.— C ><<1, self possessed, and clear bead ed, he i3 yet fearless ns a lion, and ter rible as the thunderbolt. He is known tiie world over as the impersonation of courage, daring and res. lution. No truer man ever entered a parlor; no bra ver officer over trod a deck. He has lire heart to dare, and the will to do all nny living man can do; and where he strikes, he. leaves Uia lightning blast behind. Commodore Tail nail must be nearly fifty five yearn old, yet lie is ns hard mu! tough as a poico of livo oak. He entcied the navy while yet a lad, and has had his "home on the rolling deep’’ ever since. Ho was born near Savan nah, Georgia, where his family still re sides. Since the blockade of Savannah by the Federals, ho has managed w ith his inoS4uilo fleet to give them no little trouble. All lie wanted was a good man of war to scatter their slops to the winds, l’ut him in command of tho Virginia, mid it were better for the ene my to encounter a iicri?ane than this idil lion of the sea. An Inter kstixq Incident.—We have been infumed of an incident, of re cent occurrence,which affords a pleasing illustration of the steadiness and nerve of our men under the most embarras sing circumstances.

We are able to give very liule additional news from this battle. Onr troops achiev ed a brilliant victory on Sunday ; but on Sunday 'night Buell brought up 40,000 fresh •rcops, and ou Monday the fight was re newed. From all we ean learn the last was a drawn battle, and each parly now occu pies its original position. The battle,there fore, is not decisive. It will have to be fought over again. We copy the following from Uie Richmond Enquirer of tiie llth, which is the latest official information we have received : The Confederates Hack at Corinth.— Adjutant Geneial Cooper received despatch es from General Bcauiegard yesterday, sta ling that on Sunday night Buell with Ins force had come up ami rallied and strength ened the routed Federal column under Grant; and that on Monday morning S.e gave battle io the combined force;, and en gaged them until one o’clock, when lie thought prudent io retire, which lie did in good order, He fell hack to Corinth, being compelled to abandon to the enemy a por tion of ilie urn s, stores and ammunition, captured on (he Gill. A despatch to one id die members of die House, giving later intelligence, states that Van Horn with his nimy hail effected a junction with Beauregard, and that the hero <d Manassas and Shiloh was being rapidly reinforced by large additions from oilier quarters. He cxpeeis to give the Federal ists another brush a', no distant day. The following may ire relied upon as the substance ol a despatch received at tiie War Department on yesterday, from General G. T. Beauregard, dated at Corinth. The last p..rngra{ Ii is in die exact language of die despatch : Having defeated Gen. Grant’s army, dri ving him from all liis positions, and, taking , his artillery, commissary stores, camp ‘ equippnge, great quantities of ammunition. Arc., on Sunday night following itie day ol battle, Gen. Buell came up with his army, and, crossing the river during the night.al- tacked our positions near die liver vigo rously the next morning.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,) Milledgeville, April 13tb, 1863. ) To the Militia of Georgia: The terra for which part of the State troops entered the service has expired, and they have not all re-enlisted, but part of them have returned to their homes. This has weakened our force on the Coast. I have informed tti'e - Secretary of War of the condition oF our army, and have invited him to take the entire charge of our defences. He has re plied that he is not able, at present to send troops to take the place,of-those who are retiring, and has appealed to the Slate to continue to provide, as far as possible, for her own defence. At this critical juncture Fort Pulas ki, which was defended by Confederate troops, has faMen into the hands otthe enemy, and the city of Savannah is menaced by a heavy force. The fall of Savannah would make the defence of the State more difficult. In this emergency I again appeal to youi patriotism anil your State pride, to fill tip, at once, the places made va cant by the retirement of troops lately in service. 1 need not repeat what *1 have heretofore said about the nature and magnUtuIcoClbe contest, and the momentous consequences which hang upon ouraction for lhe next few months. You all understand ho\y much we have at stake. We need not disguise it.— Every man must act his part in the contest. Those who fail to enter the service of the State as volunteers may soon be called into the Confederate service by conscription. I will arm, equip and accept into the service of the State for three years, un less sooner disbanded, the first thirty companies which tender their services to the Adjutant General at Milledge ville. Each company before it is ac cepteil must consist of at least seventy eight men, including officers. The companies will he organized into regi ments as directed by law, when ten companies are thrown together. The time for which any member of the com panies may have senred - the State or Confederacy, will he deducted from the three years ; and a bounty ol fifty dol ars will be paid to eaeit private as soon as the company to which ihey be long lias been mustered into service. \VI en Georgia is invaded, her strongest fortress taken, her commer cial metropolis beleagured by a hostile force, and her very existence as a State threatened, who will remain lon ger at home ?
