The War in the southwest.(from our army correspondent) Memphis May 31, 1862 The evacuation, retreat, falling back, "going up." or whatever else you please to call it, of the army of the Mississippi, from Corinth is now a fixed, unchangeable, immutable, unsuitable fact, and as the thing is done, I suppose there is no harm in saying so. The Federal have found it out, and our own people need no longer be kept in the dark by the either in a mantle with which the army officials have their operations. By this time Halleck is "weeping, walling, and gashing his teeth," with chagrin at having been so completely filled. This is the first time that our brave little Frenchman has had occasion to retire before the enemy, and the success which attended the movement has stamped him at once as the muster General of the war.--With an enemy immediately in front of him, shelling his men even while they were in the act of retiring, with sick to move of provisions to be provided with a places

There are no soldiers here — plenty who ought to be, and now and then an officer is visible on the street. Goods of all kinds commend treble prices, and though Confederate money is not absolutely refused, the speculative merchants, "have no change," so that large bills are made comparatively valueless.

I have not heard that a men was lost, or a dollar's worth of nobles property destroyed. The , however, have not yet transpired, and it may be that before the army reached. Its resting place, the Roer guard were slightly engaged with the Federal skirmishers. --This supposition is induced by several returns in town this morning, to the effect that a portion of Price's army had a fight after the main body of the army had moved out. I said there was no loss of public property. Four trains of cars were destroyed, and six engines; but this was done by the railroad officials, under a misapprehension of instructions when the trains were left between Corinth and Pocahontas, and the three badges being burned which connected these places, nothing could be done but destroy the cars.

es, nothing could be done but destroy the cars. The loss, however, is not great. We already have more rolling stock than we can use. The causes which led to the evacuation are such as will commend themselves to every fairly judging mind. Beauregard was, so to speak. powerless.--Had he advanced upon the entrenchments of the enemy, already within a mile — indeed, so near that shell were thrown into the heart of his camps — his success, if at all, should have been limited, and the loss of lpress or the people would be ill-timed and prejudicial to our interests. The movement is not only one of the best, in point of strategy, that has been made during the war, but it will be productive of the highest good ultimately. The motto of Beauregard is "forward, always forward;" and if he has taken one step to the rear now, be sure he will follow it with two forward by and by Like the Irish school-boy, he will advance back wards.

Affairs in Memphis look "grand, gloomy, and peculiar," reminding one of a picturesque old ruin deserted by its inhabitants — that is, when compared with the gay, lively, and prosperous city which we knew in times past. Few are left in the city who have participated in the secession movement, except the old men and ladies, who, God bless them, are always true to the South. The town is filled with extortioners, and a broader streak of Unionism cannot be found in any city south of Mason and Dixon's line. Large numbers of Northern men are here, many of whom are in the army, and have done good service to the Confederacy; but there are others rotten to the core, who will throw the Stars and Stripes to the breeze on the advent of the first Yankee soldier.

bor in a trade, they were undoubtedly the most civilized people on the face of the earth. If being civilized means that all the houses must be painted white and all the shutters green, with a cake of gingerbread and two apples in the front window, and a couple of codfish hanging on the clothes line, then no one can deny the claims of the Yankee rural districts to civilization, such as it is. Nor is the life of the cities any better entitled to that "vague and meaningless" appellation. Thomas Jefferson was right when he pronounced great cities sores upon the body politic. New York, the Empire City, may be taken as a mir specimen of them all. There is in that city a vast amount of gas, electricity, steam, printing presses, and commerce; but there are, also, a hundred thousand paupers, who are supported by public charity, eighty thousand prostitutes, and a hundred thousand criminals, who are certainly engaged in making war upon life and property. Nearly one-third of the whole populati

Northern civilization. The New York Herald contains a letter from one of its numerous correspondents in McClellan's army, in which we are informed that it is the opinion of his officers that the South requires to be civilized, and they think that Northern colonization in the South would be an admirable process for effecting that end. We think it likely that the Herald's correspondent tells the truth about this matter, as there seems to be no motive for a lie, and, indeed, that such is the general sentiment of the Northern people. There are different opinions, however, about that thing called civilization. John Mitchell, in his address, some years ago, to the Literary Societies of the University, expressed his especial disgust with the word "Civilization," which, he said, was a word "vague in meaning, barbarous in form, a hybrid word, a word with a Latin head and a Greek tail, and like hundreds of other new fangled words, on that principle, dubious and confused in its acce

he suffered. They had immense union prayer- meetings, not two years ago, at which they gave the most astounding evidences not only of civilization, but of such supernatural religious graces, as made a good many people believe that the millenium was at hand. And now, what has become of all this? Why, these very associations and prayer-meetings, which might have made us believe that New York was far ahead of the Celestial City itself in godliness and purity, became, with the first blast of Lincoln's war trumpet, transformed into ravenous wolves, not a vestige of the sheep or lamb left; not one evangelical fleece, not a single pious bleat; but the whole pack howling together in a furious concert for Southern blood. When the Yankee officers call all this civilization, and propose to spread it among us outside barbarians by the process of colonization, they must not be surprised if we resist them to the death. We may not have much gas, electricity, steam, commerce, but neither hav
