Glorious News!the Confederate army victorious at Corinth. Mobile, April 6. --A great battle took place above Corinth, thing morning. Our soldiers attacken and fought the Federals with immense bravery and violence, and drove them back with great slaughter. They captured eight batteries and many prisoners. The enemy's whole army was engaged. Gen. Gladden lost his left arm. Authentic information received this evening says that we shall destroy or capture the Federal force. No further particulars.
place I was not so much impressed by the prodigious display of command military paraphernalia, for which I had been prepared by accounts on the road, as I was by the order and system that prevail, and the unexampled spectacle of so vast a collection of Southern soldiery without a single case of drunkenness or a symptom of the presence of that great bane of our country — whiskey. This novel exhibition is time to the admirable discipline introduced by Gen. Bragg and rigidly enforced by Brig. Gen. Gladden, who is commandant at this post. These officers deserve the eternal gratitude of the South for this great reform. Not a drop of intoxicating liquor is permitted to be sold anywhere on this line. If any is brought here, it is seized and emptied in the road. The strictest discipline is everywhere enforced, and, as a consequence, we have an army here that is an honor to the South, worthy of our cause, and which can never be beaten.

Morgan's cavalry yesterday (Tuesday) morning attacked a considerable force of the enemy in one of their camps and killed a large number of them, besides burning the tents our army were unable to bring away with them. The wounded are pouring in. Our loss is probably three thousand. The most of the wounded were shot in the limbs. Generals Gladden, Bushrod Johnson, and Hindman are wounded. Colonel Blythe, of Mississippi, and Capt. Hampton, of Alexandria, were killed. Lieutenant Storum, of the Washington Artillery, was shot through the body. The fight of Monday was less decisive than that of Sunday. The firing ceased mutually about two o'clock, both armies falling back. The enemy's loss in prisoners is between four and six thousand. Buell's reinforcements on Monday are estimated at thirty thousand. Our troop
! what shout is that in our rear?--Whence those martial orders, from officer to officer? Halt! Halt! Dress! Forward, march! Breckinridge, far as the eye can reach along the bills, leads on his martial host. Already the enemy's left are, retiring on his gunboats — has given way — his centre shaking, and shouts of victory pierce the air. But I could only guess at what transpired beyond my own little sphere. Suffice to say our gallant leaders, Beauregard, Bragg, Johnston, Gladden, Pork, Ruggies, Chalmere, Hindman, Cheatham, Bowen, Clark, Breckinridge, Loring, Wood, Slaughter, and Hardee, were charging a line three miles in length of a desperate and determined foe. That they whipped them at every point, and at night fall, are masters of the field. I was so fortunate as to capture two Federal, whom I brought to your city as the first of the 6,000 taken by our brave boys on the field. Results of the battle.

The death of Gen. Gladden. --It is with a proud yet heartfelt sorrow that the people of this State will have learned the death of their gallant countryman, General Gladden, from a wound received on the battle-field of Shiloh.

Gladden done nothing else, his distinguished services to the State during the Mexican war, as leader of the Palmetto Regiment after the fall of Butler and Dickinson — a regiment that shed glory upon our arms — would have entitled him to the gratitude of our people no less than their admiration.

Few remain of that noble band, and now its only surviving field officer is gone; but he has fallen as a brave man and a true soldier would fall, stricken at the head of his troops, and in the arms of glorious victory. Distinguished in Mexico, on the bloody fields of Contreras and Cherubusoo, he received honorable wounds. Having become a citizen of Louisiana, and selected to command a noble brigade, he has again accumulated honor upon this, his native
Funeral of Gen. Gladden. --The remains of the lamented Gladden arrived in our city yesterday morning, attended by an escort from his old command, the Louisiana Regulars, commanded by Capt. Stringfellow. The coffin was conveyed to the Government Street Presbyterian Church, where the funeral services took place at 4 o'clock p. m. Rev. Mr. Burgett officiating in a very impressive manner, and pronouncing an eloquent eulogy on the deceased patriot. From the church, a vast procession accompanied the body to the new burying-ground. The military were out en masses, among them Maj. Gen. Jones, of the Confederate States Army, Maj. Gen. McCoy and Brig Gen. Butler. The armed vessels and steamboats in the river displayed their flags at half inst throughout the day, and the same taken of respect was displayed from all the flag staffs in the city, and from two British vessels which have recently arrived from foreign forts--Mobile Register, 1st.
is office last night with the military cap his brother had on at the time he received the fatal shot. Now he came by this cap is remarkably singular. During the battle the 1st Louisiana regiment was fighting over the same ground that the 21st Alabama had fought on, and it was in going over that ground that a Sergeant in one of the companies found a cap, and, seeing it was an officers, put it on and were it during the engagement and down to Mobile, he being one of the detail who escorted Gen. Gladden's remans here. Some of Sheppard's friends seeing the cap immediately recognizes it as the one worn by Lieut. Sheppard. On inquiry the Sergeant related the circumstance, and stated that he would be pleased to deliver it to any member of his family. These facts were made known to Gordon Sheppard, who afterwards received this last token of his brother; not, however, until he had made it satisfactory to the honest soldier. It is, indeed, a very lucky and singular incident. From the

At half past 8 in the morning a grand charge was ordered upon the enemy's camp, General Hardee directing the movement.--Three regiments composing a part of the brigade of General Gladden, and consisting of Louisianian, Mississippians, and Alabamians, were assigned the undertaking. They did their work like heroes. The enemy fought desperately, and with the advantage of immense odds in both men and guns; but they could not ss; and all I remember are the following: Gen. A. S. Johnston, Commander-in-Chief, killed; Col. Blythe, of Miss., killed; Lieut.-Col. Thompson, 1st Arkansas, do.; Major Colquitt do., do.; Colonel Bates, Tenn., wounded; Gen. Bowen, Gen. Hindman, Gen. Gladden, Gen. Cheatham, do. Hindman is said to have been injured by a fall of his horse, which was killed by a bursting shells. Granden lost his arm in a charge but nevertheless continued to rally his troops and Cheatham, a gallant fellow, was hit in
