Li- NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1862.—TRIPLE SHEET. Bive works were weak and indefensible, and that in leay* ing they left us nothing over which to boast except the ~Ocoupancy of the petty village of Corinth. As to which “Of the ¢wo despatches ig entitled to credence the public ‘must judge. But one thing is certain. The rebels have evacuated ‘the immediate vicinity of Corinth, and General Halleck’s ‘army now holds it and its railroad and turnpike ap- ‘proaches. Where, when or by what means the rebels escaped, where theyjhave gone or what they next propose ‘40 do, are all hid from our perception at present, but from ‘the faci that no good strategic points present them- ‘selves further to the southward, that a strong body of webels have gone to the northward and another ‘towards Memphis, that their railroad and river ‘facilities for transportation are limited and ‘Ordinary carriage still less, and that their ‘armies would become thoroughly demoralized by a long ‘Fotreat, it will not be safe to assume that the war is over ‘yet, oven in the regions of Tennessee and Northern Mis- ‘siesipp!, We may next learn that the main body of the webels have made a stand at Grand Junction, or Jackson: “Tennessee, to which place General Halleck’s army would ‘Rave to march everland to dislodge them. But the moat ‘plausible thoory just now is that they have gone to ‘Memphis in order to cross over into Arkansas, es rowls ‘0 Texas and the Rio Grande, before Farragut and Davis hall have blocked that game by uniting their fleets in tbe Middle Mississippi. Wehave now but a smali force ‘west of the river, and that is the one to which Price sand Van Dorn owe such a ponderous grudge for the affair ‘at Pes Ridge. It will be remembered also that these ‘two worthies told the people of Arkanras, when they eft that State, that they would ‘return in a few weeks (0 Grive the Hossians from their borders.” Again, it is believed by many that Beauregard has ‘mt gone far; that he will concentrate his forces on some ‘one of the roads cloge by, where he can easily retreat agein, and thus gradually ooax General Halleck still fur- ‘ther and further from the river, until he gets the Union ‘army into guch a position that a flank movement. would «- Sompel it to turn and fight its way back to the source of ‘te supplies. Beauregard is a wily fellow and Halleck is {kis equal, and the chess game of war they are playing Just now is @ puzzle to even experts in the science. Bye glance at the map which we publish to-day on our first page it will be seen that a half dozen ways are ‘provided by which the rebel army can escape from the ‘vicinity if it is so disposed, and a score of places are to ‘be found which would afford them a temporary shelter. ‘They can take the Mississippi Centra! Railroad from Grand Junction northward to Jackson, Tennessee, Morty-sight miles, at which place that road forms ‘@ Junction with the Mobile and Ohio Railroad; south- ‘ward they can go by the same road to Grenada, one {hundred and two miles, whero the great Mississippi and ‘Tennessee Railroad, leading from Memphis to New Or- Jeans, intersects, and westward they can go from Grand Junction to Memphis, fifty-two miles. Corinth is only Yorty-one miles from Grand Junction. South from Gre- mada they have uninterrupted railroad communication ‘to Canton, Mississippi, eighty-seven miles, where thé ‘New Orleans, Jackson and Northorn Railroad begins, and -at which place a railroad runs northeastward to Oka- Yona, on tho Mobile and Obio Railroad, eighty-nine miles, wheres part of Beauregard’s army is reported to have fled to. Thirty miles south of Canton is Jackson, Mis- sissippi,at which point the Southern Mississippi road -erosses the New Orloans, Jackson und Northern road, distant east from Vicksburg forty-four miles. From - Jackson they would have direct communication with Richmond, via Sowashee, Selmer, Jacksonville, Dalton, Knoxville and Lynchburg (the break trom Meridian to Uniontown being now completed), and by a score of other routes further to the eastwurd, RELEASED ONION PRISONERS. -Arrival of the Steamship Virginia from Newbern, N. C., with 490 Released Prisoners. ‘The steamship Virginia, Capt. Snyder, from Newbern, N..C., arrived at this port last evening, baving on board *- @90 relensed prisoners. They appear in fino spirits and ~ are over joyous to be once more so near their homes and “friends, after being separated from them so long, a ma- fority having boon closely confined in rebel factories and - @riminal prisons from ten to twelve months. ‘Two hundred left Salisbury, N.C., May 26, the balance + @n the following morning, but on account of an accident to the first train, which nearly terminatod in throwing ali “ver the side of a bridge nearly fifty fect high, they “wore delayed in Raleigh until Tuesday evening, at which Place they were joined by the second squad.

Friday morning we anchored off Newbern, where we ‘were visited by Dr. McClelland and Quartermaster Low- ving, who furnished clothing for those who needed it, many being nearly destitute.

A respectable citisen of Baltimore has just arrived from Winchester. He escaped from there last Thursday. ‘He states that Colonel Kenly and a large portion ef his ‘command were prisoners there, and that the many rumors we have reccived with regard to the brutal treatment of this regiment are altogether unfounded. ‘The stories of burning hospitals, with all in them, he says, areuntrue. Neither of the bulidings were injured. He saw Colonel Kenly sitting up in bed, with s wound in his head. A number of the officers of the Second Maryland were at largo on parole. The rebels claim-to have taken five thousand prisoners. m what he saw in Win. chester he supposed half that numbor is nearer the truth. Wituiasport, May 30, 1862. Last night the enemy made a slight demonstration on the neck opposite this place, but not in sufficient force to cause any sorious alarm. They are not believed tobe sufficiently strong to make anattack. Our pickets still ocoupy the Virginia side of the river. In all the reports of the late affair tho name of the'vete- van soldier, General Williams, has been omitted. As Brigadier General commanding the division, all the movements on the field were directed by him. Heand his able staff were always in the rear, and great oredit is due to him for defeating every attempt of a supe- rior force to flank our handful of brave troops. He gave his orders with unusual distinctness, and wita un- mistakable brevity. To Surgeon King, Medical Director of the Department, and Dr. Antisell, Medical Director of General Williams’ division, great credit is also attached for bringing off nearly all the sick in cantonment and hospital at Stras- burg and Winchester. The number of sick and disabled at Strasburg was nine hundred and nincty-nine. Out of this number not over thirty were captured; and sixty- five, many of whom were in too critical a condition to ‘be removed, wore left behind. Included in this number were several nurses, cooks and attendants. LOSSES IN THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. The loss in medical men was large. Dr. Mitchell, First Maryland, wounded and captured at Front Royal; Dr. Gillispie, Twenty-second Indiana, left at Strasburg; Dr- Porter, Assistant Surgeon U.S. A., left at Strasburg; Dr Leland, Second Massachusetts, captured on the field at Winchester; Dr. Johnson, Fourteenth Indiana, captured on. field at Winchester; Dr. Adolphus Best, regular battery, remained to take care of sick captured in ambulance; Dr. Bissell, Assistant Surgeon Fifth Connecticut, captured; Dr. Stone, Assistant Surgeon Second Massachusetts, captured at hospital in Winchegter, CASUALTIES OF THE RETREAT. ‘The following losses were sustained by our ¢roops dur- ing the retreat:— ‘THIRD BRIGADE.

Our troops opened fire on them, and drove them for some distance, taking seven prisoners and one eleven pounder cannon, manufactured in Liverpool in 1861, and twelve wagons, several horses and mules, and also re- capturing six men of the Maryland regiment, who had deen left in a house in the vicinity. Their names are:— John Corcoran, of Baltimore, fractured collar bone; Cor- poral Wm. Fowler, wounded in the thigh; Henry Roper, Little York, Pa, shot through the chest, seriously; Thomas Mitchell, shot in the log; Sergeant Uhler, or Uler, seriously wounded in the thigh. In the affair we lost one man, named Crawford, late a member of a Virginia regiment, who was captured by tho enemy and had been released very lately. He is from Wheeling, and was trying to obtain a licutenancy. Richard Henthorne, of Monroe county, Ubio, belonging to the First Virginia, lost his middle finger, and Wm.

In the engagement yesterday the First brigade, Gen. Kimball, were the principal participants. The Now Hampshire battalion of the First Rhode Island cavalry, Major Nelson, led the advanee and captured one hundred and fifty prisoners and recaptured eighteen of our men. The Fourth Ohio, Colonel Mason, and Fourteenth Indiana, Colonel! Owens, immediately followed. Adjutant Tarr, of the First Maryland regiment, was among those recaptured. He was vory severely wounded in the head by sabro strokes, but is now rapidity re- covering, and is able to walk about. Colonel Kenley’s wounds are not serious, and he is doing very well. Strasburg will without doubt be in our possession by to-morrow night. Tho First Maryland rebel regiment was engaged in the fight when the First Maryland loyal regiment w.s riven back. Front Royat, June 2, 1862. Lieutenant Jones, of Genoral Shield’s staff, with twen- ty-five of the First Ohio cavalry, made a reconnoissance yesterday, going to Strasburg. On his return he re_ ported the enemy retreating through Strasburg very rapidly, with their baggage trains nearly through, and at length they were acen through the hills. Genoral Bayard, with the First Pennsylvania and First New Jorsey cavalry, and six companies of the Pennsyl- vania Bucktail infantry, and the Fourth Maino battery, was imn edlintely ordered to advance to Strasburg and out off \. Upon arriving within a eiglibdeekace tices the enemy in great force just beyond the village, and not dooming it prudent to attack, halted for the night and now occupies the advance, looking directly into the eyes of the enemy. Much fring was heard yesterday, during the entire day, some distance beyond Strasburg. Racrortowy, June 2, 1862. ‘The rebel forces under Jackson retreated through Strasburg yesterday, their rear guard occupying the place last night. A splendid rifled steel cannon, and a number of prison- ers and loaded wagons, werecaptured from the rebels on Saturday. The Eleventh Regt: it, ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.

This morning, five milos from Strasburg, he overtook General Jackson in full retreat with his whole force, on the road from Winchester to Strasburg. Colonel Cluserut, commanding the advance brigade, came upon the enemy, strongly posted with artillery, which opened as soon as the head of his column ap- proached. General Fremont rapidly brought his main column up, and formed in line of battle. General Jackson declined to fight, and, while holding Cluserut in check with a portion of his troops, withdrew his main forces and continued his retreat. In the ekirmish five of the Eighth Virginia and two of the Sixtieth Ohio regiments were wounded. The enemy’s loss is unknown. Twenty-five prisoners were taken by our cavalry.

Jackson is rapidly retreating before our forces. A midnight reconnoissance three miles beyond Stras- burg came upon a rope barricade and ambush of Jack- son’s rear guard, and retired successfully with the loss of only three wounded.

GENERAL NEWS. Wasarnaton, June 2, 1862. THE ELECTION IN WASHINGTON—A COMPLETE UNION __ Viorory. ‘The most ample arrangements were made by both the civil and military authorities to-day for the preservation of the peace; but the election passed off without any disturbance, except the arrest of ex-Solicitor R. H. Gil- Jott for profanity at the polls, after having objected to taking the oath of allogiance. ‘The result was a splendid victory for the unconditional Unionists. The whole Union ticket was elected. The majority for the Mayor is unofficially reported at about three thousand, and the aggregate vote is about five thousand, At the last municipal election it was eight thousand. The falling off is attributed to the introduc. ‘ton of the test oath. After the closing of the polls, processions from all the wards, preceded by bamds of music, waited upon the Mayor elect and complimented him upon his success. ARRIVAL OF MR. GEOFFROY AT PARI8—THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE AMERICAN REBELLION. After his arrival in Paris, Mr. Gooffroy, First Secretary of the French Legation at Washington, bad several inter- views with M. Thouvenel, to whom he delivered the despatches written by M. Mercier after his visit to Richmond. He also made several visits to M. Persigny, and related to that Minister the result ef his personal observations about the character of the struggle now omg on in the United States, and upon the sentiment animating the North and the South in the pursuit of their designs. Mr. Geoffroy had also an interview of an hour with the Emperor, the result of which has not bean made known, ‘The day after, howover, it was asserted in diplomatic circles that Persigny, who is the master mind of the Cabinet, was going to leave for London with an autograph lettor for Queen Victoria. Various comments existed about the contents of the letter. Some thought it related (9 the evacuation of Rome; some to the settle. mont of the American difficulty by jeint intervention of England and France. THE PUBLIC LANDS OF TEXAS. Senator Lane, of Kansas, to-day introduced a resolution for the confiscation of the public lands of the State of Texas, By the terms of annexation these Jands did not come into the hands of our government. In 1858 it was esti- mated at the Land Office that, after satisfying all just private claims under grants of Spain, Mexico and Texas as & republic, there would be a hundred millions of acres left to the State. The confiscation of such lands will bring no money into the Treasury if they are to be ab- sorbed under the Homestead act. This would result in putting the lands as thoroughly into the hands of Texans as they would be if disposed of by the State as at pre- sent. ‘THE CONFISCATION AND PACIFIC RATLROAD BILLS. ‘Tho Senate having disposed of the Tax bill, the Confis- cation bill will probably be held back until the House shail have acted on the motion to reconsider the Slave Emancipation bill. Meanwhile the Sonate will probably take up the Pacific Railroad bill, I will pass the Senate substantially as it came from the House. The Senate Committee, composed of ten members, has already re- ported it with a unanimous approval, with only a slight amendment. GENBRAL WOOL’S NEW COMMAND. ‘The change of Generai Wool to Baltimore will not only give great satisfaction to the loyal men of Maryland, but will give to General MoClellan the coptrol of all the troops in the military department lately commanded by General Wool. GOVERNOR STANLY’S CLOSING OF THE BAND”? SCHOOLS. It was telegraphed in this correspondence, some time since, that Governor Stanly stated that he should re- turn to California unless the Hunter proclamation was repudiated by the government. Since reaching North Carolina he has caused the teaching of negroes to be diss continued. Mr. Sumner has taken umbrage at this, and on the strength of some statoment that the action of the Governor was instigated by the government, he has had ‘a resolution adopted by the Senate inquiring into the matter. ‘The general expression of soldiers returned from the ‘South is, that the oducating of negroes and arming them are repugnant to the Army. The most that can be done ig to set them at bard work om the plantations. Officers who have been on duty in connection with the Regroes at Duff Green’s row, object to keeping up a Doarding school fer negroes at that place. SUNDAY PROCEEDINGS IN THR CAPITOL. It seoms that the hall of the House of Representatives ia fated to be prolific in the curious and strange. Yes- terday (Sunday), as is usual on all Sundays, a large con- gregation assembled thore for religious worship. Al! the preliminary exercises were gone through, when ali eyes wore turned expectantly to the place usually occu- pied by the chaplain, when, lo, that worthy divino was non et inventus Silence reigned for a few seconds, and then ‘Was superseded by a buzz, buzz, buzzing inc onvorsa- tional gossip. After some fifteen or twenty minutes,a gentioman stepped forward and announced that there ‘would be services, and at the same time requested “the audience’ to listen to the singing of a few piccos. Of course the religious mercury resumed its wonted sphere. Just at this point there burst upon listening ears the cloar, harmonious vocal strains of the ‘ Star Spanglod Banner,” sung by # young lady of this city. It was truly amusing so seo the various expressions of astovish- ment by grave Senators, and the wiso men from the East and elsewhere, and the repeated ‘‘can it be possible.” A portion of the words used in this song were new and olegant.
