The qpeeial correspoodeul ot rh:- Lynch
burg Hepuhlicnu, dating from eatup six milea
north ot Winchester, Sunday, May -oth,
writes i
We have met the enemy at Front Koyai,
Warren county, Va , on Friday evening.—
He made but a short stand. The Ist Mary
land Volunteers, on the Yankee sidt y , was
charged by the Ist Maryland rebels who put
their 3 old acquaintances xo tight in a short
time, capturing a stand ot colors, killing
several and taking a number prisoners, who
were recognized by many old acquaintances
We took the enemy by surprise and put
them to flight before one-fourth of our forces
had entered the town, dhe cavalry, among
which were the Wise Troop and Jack Alex
ander's company, charged upon the Yankees
in the retreat, Killing uuuj t«upraring
a large number of prisoners, Ashby's and
Stuart's cavalry did good work by taking
two railroad trains, which were loaded with
provisions, and bringing in prisoners all dav
Friday.
The number of prisoners captured, as well
as I could learn, and see, amounted to about
eleven hundred, most of whom are Mary
landers.
We also captured a large amount ot stores
and arms. Among the latter are about hve
hundred improved cavalry six shooters, an
article very much needed.
I arn told that the stores captured amount
!to SBOO,OOO or 400,000. We also took
three pieces of artillery. .
When we entered Front Royal the women
and children met us with shouts of the live
liest joy. As we passed through the P lac T
in double quick, we could not stop to paitakj
of the hospitality so generously tendered ojf|
' 1 Jjna Saturday at early dawn, we were agaij j
!on the march to pay Gen. Ranks a visii !
| who was on the march to. Strasburg, twelf !
: miles distant. After reconnoitering for sd- \
; eral hours. Col. Ashby's cavalry inarclpi J
down the road leading to Middletown, wh/h i
is six miles in the rear of Stars burg, md
Gen. Ewell's command down the roadfto i
Newton, twelve miles in the rear of Bths- 1
burg. At. 2 o’clock a courier reported ttat j
Ranks was on the retreat, and had paied j
Middletown, but that two regiments of fcav
•alry were still 'left behind at Strasburo/aud j
Middletown, as a baggage guard.
Cen. Ed. Johnson’s division, under pom
maud of Brig. Gen. Elzey, was at once or
dered down the road to pursue the enemy.
On our march we met detachment after de
tachment ot Ashby’s men with r>rouuf*j:s
fauna hosts of prisoners', ana tile road block
aded with dead and live horses, and wagons
heavy laden with subsistence, Ac., together
: with dead and wounded Yankees.
We pu shed on our column for about eleven
miles when we halted for a few hours. We
then learned that Ranks had passed the road
i leading into the valley pike near Nevton,
j where Ewell’s command had enterei the
I road. Skirmishing was then kept up intil
■ a late hour in the night, and at, aboit 8
j o’clock we halted within three miles of Yin
! cnester.
We found along the road about one Un- j
died wagons loaded with baggage, together
with boats (not of the gunboat order) n
wheels, which Banks had destroyed for f*r
• of their falling into our hands.

;oae hour; distributing shell and minnli
balls profusely, (Mr boys made a chargll
when the Yankees left at double quick, aftei
; setting tire to the town and burning theii
; commissary stores.
The Lee Battery of Lynchburg, and two
others were ordered to pursue iu a gallop :
and the command was obeyed, the? shelling
the enemy for live miles. ’ ' 6
When the army passed through the town,
men, women and children were shouting
j “ l hank God we are tree—thank God we are
tree once more! 1 ' Confederate flags and
; white handkerchiefs were waved from every
| window, and the happy smile of lovely wo
; men ou all sides met the wearied soldier and
j cheered him as he hurriedly passed through
| place in pursuit of the flying foe.
After pursuing the enemy for six miles
we were brought to a halt, and left the fin
ishing stroke to the cavalry, who have cap
tured a large number of prisoners who have
sent in'through the day. The final result
I °f the achievements are Vet unknown.
! Prisoners tell me that Gen. Banks has
said that he was afraid that he would have
to surrender his whole command, and to be
relieved of the painful necessity and to save
his own bacon, left before day on an extra
ear.
The. tire in town was extinguished by our
boys after the commisary stores were des
troyed, but we succeeded iu savin*- all the
medical stores and ammunition, both of
which were very large. We also secured
the depot and a train of cars, both of which
were filled with provisions.
Ihe Yankees left behind ail their knap
sacks, a large quantity of arms which they
threw away, and loss of trinkets, which th*e
, hoys have been examining all day.
Having been on the march for twenty-two
days and all the previous night, our General
b ton wail all owed Jus to go into camp to rest,
but I guess we will be off" again in the morn
ing iu pursuit of the Yankees.
In neither of the engagements we have
not had one-fourth, no not one sixth of our
forces engaged, and I cannot see why the I
enemy have fled in such confusion after so
short a staud. <

At 'Front Royal we captured 1470 prist

being hourly brought iu
Atptrasburg we took six pieces of artille
ry.
* Th# same correspondent writes from Tay
lors Hotel, Winchester, under date of May
2s, ab follows :
TfrA beautiful inland towu has assumed
quite Uiely appeoranee since we drove the
i«sDß4tci'Aankesa from its vicinity; and the
• ogiTpU -re once n.—- breathing the air uF
1 traeafeu and not of slaves. Xo-aay I HcarU
i a iaiv say that she was once more free, and
tie ruggers were niggers again.
h'p to this time we have captured and
yavie in this place between 3,000 and 4,000
Arison/rs, and I am told that 1,100 more of
the Hessians have been captured near Har
pers Ferry and Mariinsburg.
W o have now in this place 8,000 stand of
ads, taken since we entered Front Royal,
’ffddes a number of pieces of artillery, to
| ither with the largest quantity of the best
j mmunition of all grades that 1 have ever
beheld.
The medical stores captured are estimated
jby the druggist-of this place to be worth at
least $200,000. Among them are articles
very scarce in the Confederacy and much
needed by the government. We captured
five hundred pounds of opium, and two hun
dred gallons castor oil, both of which are
greatly needed, and have been shiped to the
hospitals in Lynchburg.
To-day news was received that the Yan
kees had burnt; the depot at Charlestown,
together with all the stores.
A portion of the army moved this evening,
and it is reported that the ballauce will fol
low in the morniug. Their destination is
unknown, but impression prevails that
they will not stop until tiie State of Mary
land is free.
During the sojourn of the Yankees in this
place the people were not allowed to commu
nicate with any one, either North or South,
without the letters being first scrutinized by
the Provost, Marshall, and no Virginian who
would not take the oath of allegiance was nl
lovr»M *u purchase goods from" the North or

all the stock ot goods. Some few Jews were
permitted to traffic who had the audacity to
refuse our money for mcroandizo, but; old
Ston wall has had them all arrested and their
dens closed.
It, will be, no doubt gratifying to the peo
ple of Lynchburg to hear that the Lee Bat
tery, from that place, was fully in the fight
on Sunday last, and it has been positively
ascertained, killed aud wounded 43 of
invaders of our soil who had polluted the
Old Dominion by their presence, and left,
their carcasses for the vultures of the air to
prey upon. W. W. 11.
From the Army Correspondent of Savannah Republican.
iivaeuatioii of Coriuisi,
Mobile, May 29.
You will probably have learnt by tele
graph, before this reaches you, that Corinth
has been evacuated by the Confederate ar
my, At least, 1 infer from what I saw be
fore leaving that place, and from news that
lias reached me to-day, that our troops will
be withdrawn from the Mobile & Ohio rail
road, probably to-night or to-morrow. I
m not informed of the precise locality where
hey will “pitch their tents/'but have heard
is about forty-five miles below Corinth,
j hd a short distance above the Okalona Sta
i t*m
i endeavored to prepare your readers for
movement by an intimation thrown out
ifithe concluding paragraph of my last let-
1 refer to the subject again merely to
that the evacuation of Corinth, under
tte circumstances which environed the army.
| W£i| -csiaa ami neoeesary, as a brief state
me\t will suffice to demonstrate.
P l soil around Corinth is of that pecu
lisicharacter which is very wet in winter
andvery dry iu summer. As we stated in
a timer letter, 1 saw a mule drowned in a
smii branch near the town, where, two
weKs afterwards, there was not a drop of
watr to be seen. The consequences was, at
theii rue of my departure both the troops
an Jhorses were suffering for water to an ex
ten lyou can hardly imagine. The chief
supiy was obtaiued from the standing pools
iu t,e beds of exhausted streams. Steps
had jeen taken to bore a number of wells,
but t was ascertained that there was no rope
or Hols to be bad in the town, and that it
woud be necessary to send to Columbus,
MisL tor the the particular kind of rope .
desitd. The rope had not been received uo
to tff 26tb, and but for timely showers,
whioi renewed the supply in the water
coums, and the wells dug by the men in
low, damp places, the army could not have
remtiaed there as long as it has. The citi
zensuse rain water, caught in cisterns from
first vi October to tbe first of May ; but the
suppV in the cisterns was not sufficient to
last tie army one week.
In tie neighborhood of Pea Ridge, the
localiti of the enemy’s chief encampment,
the wqer is better and the supply more
abundait.
But i was pot the water of au adequate
supply of water alone that rendered it neces
sary for our armv to retire from Corinth.—
Our encampment was bounded on three
sides by Bridge creek and a dense swamp—
in front, on the right, and in the rear —and
our breastworks were just behind ike swamp
and ran parallel to it for a cousiderable dis
tance, The swamp wa 2 crossed by four or
five roads, near which we had planted for
midable batteries to cut oil ail approach by
the road G . It would now appear that the :
same thing has been done by the enemy, \
wiiQ has advance ! up near the swamp on the j
other side, thrown up breastworks and post- j
ed henry seige guns, which not only com- i
mand the roads leading out from our side,
but are of sufficient callibre to shell nearly
every part of our encampment. He has
also thrown‘up strong works near I arming- j
ton and Pea Ridge, and erected heavy bat
teries at commanding points along the sev
eral mutes to the rear. Indeed the Federal
Trouts are impeiior to oxirs, and their posi
tion equally strong, one-third, stronger.
It was hoped and expected that Haikok
would attack us in our position ; but this he
was too sensible to do; for defeat would
have been the certain result. Could we ex
pect a different result, if we should attack
him behind his formidable works and with
superior force ? It was never intneded to al
low him to approach so near, and to get in
to position without first offering him battle.
This we did at Farmington, when he declin
ed to pick up the gauntlet thrown down to
him, and this we sought to do on the 22d,
when it was found impossible, because the
ground had not been properly reccnnoitered
and mapped, to get our right wing, which
I was to lead the attack, into position, Had
we encountered the euenfy on that day, m
accordance with the order of battle agreed
upon bv our officers, Ido not, see how we
could have failed to win the greatest and
most decisive victory thus l;f§achieved in the
war. That night, however, aqji the nest
day, the enemy moved up and got iuto po
sition where it would be as great madness
for us to make the attack as it. would be lor
! him to attack us.
Why, then, it, may be asked, should we,
j and not Halleck, retire ? Because Halleck is
! provided with guii i of long range and heavy
| calibre, with which he can throw shot and
shell into almost every part ot our encamp
j nient, every two or three minuter, day and
I night, as long as he pleases ; and because
; he has better water and more abundant -mp-
ply than we have. ...
‘The chief advantage the Federal* will gain
by the change, will be the use of the entire
line of the Merupbfe A ILtUr&yi
workers, and will soon rebuild the bridges
j over the Tennessee river and Hear creek,
and those over the IJatchie and other streams
west of Corinth, which the Copfed**]- ;tes will
doubtless destroy. As soon as these lust
bridges can be rebuilt, Memphis and Fort
Pillow tvill be occupied, as well as those sec
tions ot the Mobile & Ohio and "Tennessee
& Ohio Ilail roads, which lie north of the
Memphis & Charleston road.
The withdrawal down the Mobile & Ohio
road will diminish our transportation, and
bring the army into a more healthy section
of country, where all kinds of supplies are
more abundant and ihe waters much better.
The enemy, on the contrary, should he fol
low us up, will have to march sixty-five or
seventy miles into the interior, where, in
case of disaster, he would be cut to pieces
aud destroyed. i > . A.

ARRIVAL OF TWENTY YANKEE PRIBONR3.
Our community, at an early hour Tueiday
morning, were again excited by the stirring
news and report of a fight on James' Island.
It was announced that the enemy had made
another forward movement and commenced
landing troops from their gunboats. The
news of a fight at Legare'3 place, on James’
Islaud, reached the city at eight o'clock A.
M. A dispatch received stated that the
evemy had landed about four hundred
troops; that they were * met by our forces
under the command of Lieutenant Colonel
Oftporc and driven hack to their gunboats J
also, that we had captured twenty prisoners,
who were sent to Fort Johnson
The prisoners taken reported that seven -
teen hundred men had been - landed on Bat
tery Island on Monday night, and the same
number at Legareville, on John’s Island.
The enemy was also reported in force in
front of their gunboats.
The steamer Etiwan soon after arrived
from Fort Johnson with the prisoners, in
charge of detachments of the Carolina Ar
tillery and Grangeburg Artillery, belonging
to Lamar’s Battalion, stationed at Fort
Johnson, in command of Lieutenant Bar
ton. The prisoners were in fatigue dress,
but looked well and made a good appearance.
They exhibited a considerable anxiety, how
I ever, as to their disposition. The news of
their arrival spread with rapidity, and
crowds gathered on their march from the
wharf to the jail to take a look at the stran
gers. They were delivered over to the Jai- 1
lor, Mr. Milligan, whose care they will re- I
main until otherwise disposed of.
The prisoners are all members of the One j
huudiedth Pennsylvania Regiment, and give j
their names as follows :
