A ma.iM, kilo Itr|iuuiik;nu ui me itiu IIIBl., j Bliys : We have thus far not a word officially from Fort Pulaski, yet all, except a few very incredulous individuals, have yielded (he point of its fall. The Confederate authorities have declined all applications for a flag of truce, and we shall probably be lifpl iu suspense until the New York or Boston papers, accidently spirited over the line, 6bal! enlighten us. The garrison was 413 strong, officers and men.? Thirty have been detached, leaving the number at the time of the surrender 383 or 24 officers aud 3o9 men. Lieuts Cole, of the Oglethorpes, and Bsshler, of the German Volunteers, were in the city. Reports from below state that the ene> my are removing their battery from Jooe?' Island, near Venus' Point, we presume, a little higher up the river. II it be potsh ble to prevent such encroachments, it should be done, aud few things sre impossible i( v>e but use the means and eu ergy at our command. Two vessels?a brig and schooner? were lying at Venus' Point yesterday, and a number in the vicinity of Fort Pulaski. Saturday last a steamer was seen to pass from the Fort to the fleet off Ty bee, and some suppose she was taking off* the prisoners for suipmeul to headquari ters, or to some northern place of incarcei ration. TilK CASUALTIES AT SIII1.0II. Our laiest advices by mail /rem tbe great battle near Corinth are from?he Memphis Appeal of tbe^Bih, containing a partial list of the kill^i and wounded, in , the battle of Sunda^*' Tire Appeal ?ays the Federal loss is estimated, on l he wsry best IlicfRl authority, at 12,000^o 15, 000 in killed and wounded ; two or three ? * thousand pnsoneis; abubl'one hundred pieces ol artillery, and twenty thousand mall arms, with tents, wagons, Ac. The same authority states the Confederate loss in killed, wounded and missing^ at , 5,000. Com nth.? A gentleman just from Chattanooga, who was able to obtain some items of interest from the battle of Monday, informs us that Huell's army numbered some 05,000 men, and oms 35.000, that we took between 0,000 and 7,000 prisoners and all the batteries of tbe enemy on Sunday ; that the fight on Monday was furious and desperat6 for a time ; that the right wing of our army forced a whole brigade into the Tadtessee Biver, a la Leesburg, but our left wing was overpowered with overwhelming numbers, and had to fall back, when our whole army was ordered to re treat, without being pursued. .In ibis retreat we iusi some ;our pieces ole artiilerv, and a I the cnminitaary atorea we bad captured. ?Atlanta Confederacy, 1 \th.

As graphically expressed by our informant, "There was a perfect sea | of dead Yankees on the field." [The en- | i^?? ,r .i.? i.:ti?i i j i iv?o vi iiic ciicm ? , in &iiirut uruw neu wounded and prisoner*, wo learn from another source, is estimated at Corinth to he thirty thousand.] Uu to Monday night our men were loo busy attending to our own wounded to give any atten tion to those of the enemy. Up to the time our informant left, aev en thousand prisoners Lad been brought in, and large numbers were continually arriving. The division under General Polk drove five thousand of the enemy into the river, and it is estimated that not less iIiar two hundred found a wale ry grave. Among the enemy's killed i* Gen. Wallace, and among the capturned by our forces are General Prentiss and several Colonels who were acting Brigadiers. The former of whom is reported being quite insolent in his deportment ? Before leaving Coriulh on the cars, he remarked to the crowd assembled that if he had time he would make them a speech, arid make them good Unionists in ten minutes. lu reference to the death of Gen. Buell it is stated by five Confederate soldiers who had been taken prisoners and escap ed, that the colors of the Fedeia! army wcic u.n^u 111 mourning ior ins loss, ami illhI lie was ki'led early in the action on Monday. This is confirmed hy llio ad mission of sis hundred prisoners who came in on Wednesday, and by a despatch received here by private parlies from Mobile. In consequence of these ( disaaters the Federal army is reported to ( be in disorder. ( Tne death wound of (General Johnston ( was indicted on the ca f his right leg, I and was considered by him as only a J ( fieab wound. Soon after receiving it, he | gave an order to Gov. llarria, who was : acting as n volunteer aid to him, who, on ( his return to Gen. JoLuaton, in a different , part of the field, found him exhausted from lots of blood, and reeling in bis saddle. Riding up to him, Gov. Harris asked : "Are you hurt I" to which the now dying hero answered'. "Yes, and 1 fear mortally," and then, strething out both arms towards his companion, fell from Ida horse, and soon after expired. No other wounds were discovered upon his person. We get the following additional despatches from various sources : A despatch from Corinth to the Mi bile Tribune says that an aruiiatice of three days lias been asked for by the Federals for the purpose of burying their dead.? Twelve thousand are repotted to be killed ' many thousands wounded and many more thousands made prisoners. Rue!! certainly killed. TIIK ENEMY AT UVNTEVILLE.

Mr. P. informs us that he had s conversation with an engineer who succeeded in running the "gauntlet," and who gave him the following statement: lie said that early i on Friday morning be came up the rosd 1 from Decatur, that on arriving at Hunts j vilte he found the telegraph operator iu waiting, who threw his apparatus on 1 i board, informed bim that the Federals 1 were just coming into the town. The en? i gineer then started the train, but before getting through the town, he was fired upon by the Federal force, end a shell was also fired at the train, but did not succeed in hitting it. His brother, also an engineer, was, just behind him, with a lor.g train of empty cars which was returnincr (mm '* ??a ...... .axjiug irutipi (O V/OriDin.
