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. m front of Winchester. After fightingabol! ;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. < I an. happy to f lute that uo I.yoct>/*arger was hp»t m *ithev engagement, and sit very tew c*f any i»tlier commaud W^{recaptured a Urge number of stolen negrqip. The Yank«*ev had married a riuiu her or the women umi wci-* liking them home frith them. 1 haw seen ->ouie that re fused fr> go, and otheis that hud been forced of at ither times that had returned. At 'Front Royal we captured 1470 prist oners,j and eight or nine hundred at \Vm cbest4, and numbers irom points north are 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 morning, left, at dojablequicif,' leaviug Behind 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. [From the Charleston Courier June 4.] Figlsl at Piautaaou, Jamies’ («iiaiiid. 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 : Capt. 11. Clina, Company F. j Sergeant Robert Moffat, Compaay F.
