Gen.riV’an Dorn, in hift first'dcsnatch ebnetniing this en gagement, ascribes tho highest, credit to Gens.

The general relation of our tropps to each other and to the enemy remained as it . war* on .the previous day—Gen. Van Dora in- supreme command, occupying the centre, Gen.-Prioothe lelt wing, and Gea. Lovell the right wing.— Gen.- Lovell’s division held ground west of Corinth and just south ; oI\the M» & C. R. II. Gen. Maury’a division wasjposted tnbn-h of the M. & C. R. R . and between it and the SI. & O. R. K. Gen:-Herbert’s division was on the lc;t, east of the M. &0. R. B —thus advancing from the'north'upon Corinth. .Tho battle waa commenced by Gen. Price early in the morning— half an hoar before day light. Tho artillery,'having-been moved for ward, opened upon the enemy in hi3 entrench ments at the distance of?00 yards. The enemy replied, and a heavy cannonading by.both sides ensued for one hour. Onr troops saff.red -but little damage from this firej and the artillery was withdrawn with the view ot advancing the infantry. Now much skirmishing followed all along tb e-line, which was being kept up u c. til about 10 o’clock. Then brginaiDg with Gea. Lovell’s division, who were immediately sec onded by Gen. Price’s army—Gen. Herbert’s division first, and then Geu. Maury’s—pur whole line advanced upon the entrenchments 'of. the'enemy. Here occurred one of the most terribie strug gles <k the war. The.air was filled with the missiles of dpatb, and the earth trembled under Uie'confused noise . of battle. Every division, brigade, regiment, and company, and I might s?.y almost every man, fought with courage and coolness, as thongh the rosa-t. depended upon one as much a9 noon all. Forward our men advanced; and, though many of them fell before the terribie dre’of the enemy,from heavy guns, field pieces, and small arms, forward st:ll they advanced. And now there was a grand charge all along our lines. «-j The enemy held his position until oar men had reached the very mout hs of his heavy .guns, and fired npen his gu3nersns they stood at their posts. Then; however, h;3 advance.was thrown into confusion and scattered away in haste, leaving his heavy artillery ap»l,‘ si -me £s,f < v l & number of field pieces in our hands., Onr.loss here* was very heavy ; bat having gained ; the last line of entrenchments, onr bravo troops seem to have won -the day. In fact, if our men, though much reduced by the casualties ,,of the day, could have been sbpp .-rtcd; by'reserves even equal to the dead .aud woupded in num ber, they in all probability, would have been crowned victors flf the wall fought field. - . v But, alas ! fresh troop3 were not at baud; and the enemybringlcg up his heavy reserves about 12 o’clock, and hurling them against our lines “-particularly the centre, our br^,ve troops were obliged to yield the ground so gloriously, won by them, fluff-ring intensely from thirst, hun ger, and fatigue, dliey were but poorly prepared to meet. this onslaught from fresh iueu;,and besides, many of them had Exhausted' the last rqund ol, ammunition, and no further, supplies ^Vre just' at band.
