Great Battle Expected.
Rapid and Astounding movement in Tennncssee.?Highly
important despatches were received
yesterday by Congress, giving intelligence
of an impending and critical battle at Corinth,
in the vicinity of the Grand Junction of the
Memphis and Charleston and Mobile and Ohio
Railroads. These despatches state positively
that Gen. Johnston had made a sudden circuit
from Mufrcsboro, via Decatur, confronting the
whole force ofBuell that had been moved from
Nashville down the Tennessee River, and the
advance of which last heard of at Savannah,
which is on the river, about fifteen miles from
where it crosses the Mississippi line. Gen.
Beauregard was at last accounts, at Jackson,
in Madison County, within easy reach of Johnston's
army. These wide movements of the
forces in Tennessee have bceu wholy utiex
pecieu; nut tuc despatches giving the intelligence
of them are entirely reliable, and one
of the most critical battles that has yet been
fought in the West is immediately anticipated
on the borders af the State os Mississippi.?
Richmond Examiner, 19//;.
Journalism in Xcw York.
Contemporaneously with the great war of the
North upon the South, a private war, of equal
bitterness, has raged uninterruptedly between
Bennett of the New York Herald, and Greely
of the New York Tribune. In a recent issue
Greely expresses his opinion of Bennett in the
following plain sentence:
"lie is old in his wickedness; but even his
age has given him that discretion whi h the
experienced vidian employs to cloak his crime
with; he is apt in his wickedness, but cannot
conceal it; he is effective with his wiekedness,
but does not hide it; he knows no shame, as he
seems ignorant of any law for venality, treason
and moral polution of every shape and form."
To which Bennett the next day coolly replies
:
"The old wizzened knight of the White Liver
begins to cower and quail beneath the
fearless, honest and manly assault of the Herc/Id
like tissue paper beforo flames. If one
were asked to select a fit subject for the gallows,
we should unhesitatingly pick that horrible
monster Greelv."
The public will believe that either side has
reason and Justice, and the truth of one does
not interfere in the slightest degree with the
veracity of the other.

Capt. F. Buchanan, the hero of the great
naval combat, is a glorious old man. For
many years he had served under the' old flag
and had but a short time before the revolution
broke out been promoted to the office of Coraodore.
lie was in Baltimore some time after
the war broke out, but made his way South
through the West. lie has two daughters in
Georgia, twin sisters, and most estimable ladies.
One is the wife of Mr. G. P. Screven, Jr., of
Savannah, Ga.; the other of Lieutenant Miere,
of the Confederate States Navy. His youngest
and favorite brother was Purser 011 the ill fated
Congress; and it is a matter of history, and
proves the unselfish patriotism of Capt. Buchanan,
that the fire of the Virginia on the Con
gress was particularly severe. We hear that
he is also reiatcd to Comodore Goldsboro, of
the United States Navy, whose flagship is the
Minnesota, and which narrowly escaped destruction
at the hands of the Virginia. Capt. B.
has immortalized himself by the victory in
Hampton Iioads, and will live in history associated
with the grandest naval achievement
of this or cny other age.?Milledgevillc (Ga.)

The Yankee invaders in Wayne county, Ky.f

after his runaway negro. Mr. Belcher was
recently a member of the State Legislature,
and socially he stands as hiorh as anv man in
