Beauregard to bis army, on the 2d inst, was received here to-day.— The dispatch is dated at Corinth, May, 2d. : . Soldiers of Shiloh and Elkhom: We are about to meet, once more, in the shock of battle, the invaders of our soil, the despoilers- of our homes, the dis turbers of our family ties, face to face, and hand to band. We are to decide whether we are to be freeman, or the slaves of those who are free only in name, and who. but yesterday, were vanquished, al though in largely superior numbers, in their own encampments, on tlie ever memorable field of Shiloh. Let the im pending battle decide our fate, and add one more illustrious page to the history of our revolution—one to which our children will point with noble pride, saying our fathers were at the battle of Corinth. I congratulate you on your timely junct ion. With your mingled banners, for the first time during this war, we shall meet our foe in the strength that should give us the victory. Soldiers! Can the result be doubtful?— Shall we not drive back into Tennessee the presumptuous mercenaries collected for our subjugation? One more manly effort, and, trusting iu God and the justice of our cause, we shall recover more than we have lately lost, i.et the sound of our victorious guns be re-echoed by those of the army of Virginia, on the historic battle field of Yorktown. [Signed,] C, T. Bkaukeoard. General Commanding. CScn. Lorrll’D An Secede nt». The Enquirer, of yesterday, says that Gen. Mansfield Lovell is the son of a for mer Surgeon General oftbe United States Army. His mother belonged to the Ber rien family of Georgia. The subject of this brief memoir was born, probably at Washington, but if at the North, it was during the temporary residence of his parents at some military post. By a sad fatality, Doctor and Mrs. Lovell died in Washington within a few days of each other, about a quarter of a century ago.— The orphan sons (four in number) were thus thrown, so to speak, upon the world, but, by the aid of relatives, their education was cared for, and-they all have attained honorable positions in life. General Lov ell graduated well at West Point, and dis tinguished himself greatly in the Mexican war. Resigning from the army some years ago, he engaged in commercial pursuits in New York, and was subsequent ly appointed Deputy Street Commission er by G. W. Smith, (now a Major General in the Confederate army,) which position he held until shortly before casting his for tunes with the Confederate States. Two of General Lovell’s brothers are married to daughters of the late General Quitman, of Mississppi, and were both performing mili tary duty at New Orleans. The remaining brother is a lawyer at Savannah, Georgia. [ Richmond Whig. advancing upon Chattanooga, and were yesterday not more than from twenty-five to thirty miles from that point. It is said however, that they were in small force, and it may b that this small force is only the advance of a larger one moving slowly towards that city. It would be impru dent in us to say more in regard to the *"situation” of Chattanooga than the enenu/ as well as the Confederate Authorities must and, we are certain, do know. It is | now a more, import poiut to the enemy than even Charleston or Savannah; and it ought to be defended at every sacrifice. Its posession by the enemy would give them command of vitally important rail road communications; leave Georgia open to invasion on the one hand, and the route to Knoxville, in East Tennessee, open on the other. That the enemy have, and are making this movement, with a view to both these objects, we have no doubt. We trust, however, that they will be disap pointed. Chattanooga will be defended, and we hope successfully. Nature has so ordained that it must he approached over mountains, where every advantage will be on our side. W ith good officers and gal lant soldiers, one regiment, having choice of position, will he equal to four of the enemy. But even upon this, those who are in command at that point should not rely. Advised as they, and the authorities at Richmond, are of the importance of hold ing Chattanooga, we have reason to be lieve that a force will be there to meet the enemy equal to any emergency, and strong enough to battle with upon the open plain. Failure in having such a force would now, from what we know, be crim inal' neglect on the part of the Confederate authorities. Prudential reasons restrain us, or we could say much that would in terest our readers in re'gard to the enemy’s advance upon Chattanooga, and the de fence thereof. Probably the day is not distant when we may feel at liberty to write without restraint.—In the meantime we must all patiently wait the enemy’s approach upon that important point—Af ter all, it may be only a feint, and when we take consideration the fact, that the enemy’s advance upon, and front Bridge port, was simultaneous with the attack at Cumberland Gap, there is a probability that such is really the case. But even if it should be a feint of the enemy, Chattanooga is still in danger, and requires now a large and effective force to defend it from the enemy, and erelong, we hope, to advance upon him even to Naslivile. But we for bear, or we might say too much. cannot begin to compare with it in quan tity. -Take 3lbs white sugar 3 ounces tartaric acid and 1 quart cold water; put them into a brass or copper kettle, and when warm add the whites of three eggs; beat up with three tea-spoonfuls of flour, stir till it boils 3 minutes, when cold add 1 gill es- '*4006, and bottle up. e ^'-y-tionsfor use.—Two dessert spoon- uls of Nfcoa t0 eac j, g] ass> then fill them two thirds full j ce wa j er> if it can be bad, and add a little «, r 6 0 nate of Soda — Petersburg (la.)

Hunter and Halleck in Missouri and the Feder al commanders in other States have issued mani festoes and proclamations against guerillas, and threaten to hang them as soon as caught. The great danger to an invading army, when it is ad vancing into a hostile country, is in having its trains cut off, its rear blocked and avenues of re treat closed An enemy, with 50.( 00 men, with guerillas about them, must leave a detachment of troops at every mile or half mile of the line over which he marches and by which lie expects to re ceive supplies, so that by the time he has marched a huudred miles he has left half his army behind him. It is then that small parties of mounted men, dashing ot some exposed point on the lines, may destroy a train, capture the outposts and do infinite mischief. The Federal commanders dread this, above all things, and hence their at tempts to frighten brave men from attacking them when and where they are most vulnerable. Here in lies the weakness cf an invading army, and our great strength, if we will but use it. The operations ot Jeff. Thompson and McBride is Missouri, of Morgan in Tennessee, and other Marions and Sumters in other Stales, have dona more to cripple the enemy and tire him of this war than did his defeat at Manassas. One hun dred mounted rangers can keep a line of twenty- five miles in length in constant dread, and every day or two can strike an effective blow. We have driven the enemy from Arkansas, but should he again enter the State, a small torce be hind him can cut off his communication arid ren der an invading army an easy prize to the patriots in front. The Federals have companies of sharpshooters, and when McCulloch, McIntosh and Slack were killed, it was found that each met his death from a rifle ball. The two former were shot near the heart; the latter in the right side. The smoke from the rifles with which they were shot was seen coming from behind the trees where the sharp shooters were hiddeu. The marksmen are West ern men, picked from the different regiments and instructed by select officers. We have the mate rial for a regiment of shaipshooters, second to none in the world ; men who. with a common rifle, can knock a squirrel from the top of the tallest tiee, or shoot a deer off hand at a distance of a hundred yards. Who will get np a company of sharpshooters? They should be active, wiry, cool men, who would be permitted to take sheltered positions and tire whenever they could draw a bead on an officer. We must hare sharpshooters and tints fight the devil with fire. [Lillie Rock [Ark.) Democrat. Defeat the XVosrt of Possible Evils.

The big stories of breeches made in less than no time—of balls fired nearly a mile going clean through twelve foot walls as though they were sheets of paper, and all and sun dry the other statements no doubt honesty made by the Savannah papers, sounded strangely to plain sort of people like our selves. We happened to recollect that our bat teries on Morris’ Island were considerably nearer to Fort Sumter than any land bat teries that the enemy could possibly plant against Pulaski, and we know that Sum ter was not breeched at all by our fire. We also happened to have some recollection of the Grimerian war.and oftlie fact that bat teries at a thousand yards, were regarded as almost useless, and that finally the allies worked their approaches so actively, that their last parallel was so near to the Rus sian works that the smoke and flash of the uns of the contending parties almost blind Hrrnp of History. “During the Revolutionary war, Gen eral Lafayette being in Baltimore, was in vited to a ball. lie went as requested, hut instead of joining the amusement as might have been expected of a young Frenchman of twenty-two, he addressed the ladies thus : “Ladies, you aye very handsome ; you dance very prettily ; your ball is very fine—but my soldiers have no shirts !” This was irresistible.

We find tlte following iu the State Gazette pub lished at Austin Texas, the 12th April: The remains of Gen. Ben McCulloch, the hero of Oak Hills, the pride and boast of the army if the west, were on Thursday, w ith all the usual pomp aud ceremony attending such occasions, laid by the side of Burleson, Memphill and McLeod. The body lay in state in the Representative Hall irom 4 P. M. on Wednesday until 2 P. M. on Thursday last. At 11 o’clock after prayer from Rev Mr. Philips and Bishop Greg, Capt.

Gen. Henry McCulloch being present, remarked in a voice tremulous with emotion, whose accents reached the hearts and filled the eyes of all pres ent, that his brother had, in his will commended his soul to bis God, aud bequeathed bis body to hia State, and that he now, as the executor of that will gave the body to the Executive, and with it his own life. Gov. Lubbock, in bis own inimitable and happy way, responded to the remarks ot Gen. H. McCulloch. It is impossible for us now to give a synopsis of what he said.—He stiired the hearts of the audience to their profoundest depths and awakened or aroused a feeling of intense pa triotic enthusiasm we have never seen excelled; which tilled the lofty chamber with the deafening shouts of the thousands assembled, sufficient if ought on earth were so, to quicken again to life the slumbering hero, who wrapped in the banner of his coun'ry, lay in state in their midst. The concourse that attended the body to the grave was the largest ever assembled in the State, the procession more than a mile long. SPECIAL NOTICES.
