Captain W, L. DePasft. Commanding DeSaussure
Light Artillery:
Captain:?I nm honored with your favor of
the 29th hit., informing mc tlintyonr command |
had been pleased to designate their corps by
my name.
I feel honored by this resolution of the Com- j
pany as well for the distinction itself as coming
from the men who have been pleased to bestow
the honor?many of whom I know, and knowing
them, have a perfect conviction that they
will sustain the honor of their flag to the last
extremity
Men who abandon hoinc and all its charms
and enjoyments to meet the common foe of the
country, and expose their lives for that country %
are earnest men, and truoly an honor bestowed
by them must be highly appreciated by every j
one. I feel suro that in that fierce trial which
the times foreshadow will probably come upon |
you this fall or winter, every man of your com- <
mand will march to the cannon's mouth with
out flinching and force victory to perch on their i
banner. In you, sir, they will find a leader who !

All?fed nplnre of Gen. Beauregard's
Confidential Papers,
A despatch dated Washington, October I3?
say#? ' J
Important papers were some time ago captured
by Gen. BueH, while being transmitted
for file to Brig. Gen. Thomas Jordon, Assistant
Adjutant Geueral of the rebel army, Chatta.
i.ooga, Tennessee. 'J*hese papers include confidential
letters from Gen. Beauregard both to
the Adjutant General and Inspector Cooper
and to Gen. Bragg, specifically laying down H
plan for military operations both in the West
and Southwest, by which ottr forces wore effectively
concentrated to meet the demonstrations
recently made in pursuance of it. According
to Beauregard's programme, the offensive
points of the rebels were first Louisville and
then Cincinnati, and he was particular in^sta'
ting how it would he best to reach tbeui from
Chattanooga, w ith Buell at Huntsville. It was
his opinion that a detachment could take Louisville,
while the main btdy would be marching
to^ Cincinnati. He eoritemplatcd the
construction of a work at the former city for
the command of the Ohio ar.d the canal, and
the destruction of the canal, as soon ju^ossible,
so completely that future travellers would hardly
know where it was. To keep the command
of Cincinnati, he would construct a strong
work, heavily armed, at Covington. Copies
of these important letters will soon bo published.

News from tlie West/
Senatohia, Miss. October 17.?Despatches
from Indianapolis, dated the 12th, to the Chicago
Times says that intense excitement prevails
there, caused by despatches from Gen.
Boyle, saying that Bragg is in the rear of
Buell, marching on Louisville. He urges Gov.
Morton to send him reinforcements, he having
but 2,000 men at Louisville. Tho impression
prevails that Buell was badly beaten. The
excitement in Cincinnati is intense. The
Cincinnati Commercial, of the 13thj claims a
victory, but its despatches arc very conflicting.
Holly Springs, Miss., October 17.?A gentleman
who arrived to-day from Corinth pays
that tlie enemy have evacuated Corinth, and
arc also evacuating Bolivar, Tenn.

soldiers, just arrived hero from Iuka, say that
our wounded in the battle of Corinth have all
been sent to that place, and are now well cared
for.?There are said to be 700 in all, and it is
not thought that our wounded in the whole of
the fight will reach more than 1,000. Onr
killed numbering 300. The Federal soldiers
admit that they had over 3,000 wounded, and
and they could not tell how tnany killed.
The Yankees at Corinth say that our men
fought more like devils than men; they also
admit the total route of Buell by Bragg, and
predict that Nashville will soon have to be releivcd
or evacuated.
