Phe Rebels Defeated, Demoraiieet and Panic Stricken The Plan of the Butlle—Gen. Kvsecrans’ Despaich—Despera, tian of the Reheis—The Rebel Loss, &e. Afew moments afior the mail ioft to day a despatch was received by Geu. Grant, from Gen. Rosecrans, an- nouncing the most complete and overwhelming defeat of the rebels ai the Hatchie, he, Rosecraus, having come up and attacked them in rear, and Gen. Urd just having defeated them at Daves’ Bridge. The poor rebois were 10 bad quarters, and had no chance for escape what- ever, as anarmy. Tho despatch gives no par joula s of the baitle, meroly stating that whole regiments threw down their arms, some not attempting to ercape tall, and the remainder scattering through wouds in every direction, every man for himself. Tho country is fall.of fugitives, and our troops are picking them up faster than they can dispose of them. I suppose they will be paroied, or kept by General Grant to exchange for our men taken on the Potomao, We have no account of the Joss of Rosecrans’ force m this affair, but it must bave been small, as the enemy were completely panic stricken. Tho loss at Davies’ Bridge on our side was severe, a8 ccported by Genoral Ord From that report {t will be seen that General Grant's or- der to Huribut to tere Bolivar and march towards Co rinth by way of Pocahontas and Davies’ Bridge, was jus: in time, and was the means of preventing the ceoape of the enemy. Rosecrans was also, as soon as tho rebels were driven out of Corinth, ordsred im pursi and the result has been almost equal to the Sanguine expectations. The rebot gonerals will have to organize another army before they can do anything in ‘West Tennessee or Mississippi, and it must have entirely destroyed their idea o ponetrating into Kentucky and join- ing Gon. Bragc, which. it appears, has been one of thetr most cherished schemes, aud « prevented by the watch full eas and precautions of Gener. A Grant. The fight st Corinth was very severe: ihe enemy advance steadily fom Bethel on to Chewalla, driving in @ur videttes and pickets ax they advanced, wii finally, after driving in McKew: and Pavia’ commands, a targe mass actually penetrated to the beart, bat Un ware not alowed tia to do any dumage, I will give you copy of Genera!

General ( not fatally, ‘Twenty -tirst THK ATTACK ON CORINTH ON SATURDAY. All was quiet during the vight. The soldier snatched what sleep he could upon his aims in ime of battle. At four o'clock on Saturday morning, the heavy boom of canuon and the of shell into town told the day’s work was begun. The rebeis had planted their captured guns at the edge of the timber, not two hundred yards from our forts, and within # quarter of a miie of town. They seemed to be getting the proper range of the guts to throw upon the squire near the centro of the town, whore large numbers of our troops’ were bivouiwked. After firing till daybreak they suddenly ceased, and there wasaluilin the fight for about two hours. ' The firing had done but littie damage to the town, althvugh the Stray shooting in the dark had compelled the clearing of tho hotels of the wounded, who were taken to hospitals two or three miles to the rear of the town, at Clear creek. ‘About nme o'clock the enemy made an assault upon the fort a little north of the Memphis and Charieston Railroad to tho north of weat of the town, which was under tl command of Captain Williams, of the First United States infantry. The rebels were led by Acting Brigadior Gene- ral Rogers, who moved his ferces at quick time, and 90 stern was their march upon the fort that, for « moment, they occupied the fort, and General Rogers planted the rébet tiag upon it, where it just had time to take one oat when down it came. Two volunteer regi menta, whose natnos T have not been able to learn, support- ed the batteries of the fort, and drove the rebels in terrible disorder buck into the timber, Their march and retreat did not cover a distance of more than two hundred yards, and occupied but a few minutes; yet hundreds of their dead told bow fearfuily terrible had boon the earnestness of our troops. At the moment Genera! Rogers had hoisted his rebel fag, a drummer boy in the United States ser’ ice soized a musket and shot him dead, and as be fell he dragged down the flag be had just hauled up. He was dead before be had time vo claim the prize his flag was intended to cover. Then followed the terrible charge which shoved the rebels out of the fort and sent them howling to the timber. Foiled im this attempt to gain admittance to the town, ancther point of attack was decided upon. The whole force of the enemy was massed in one column, and, with fixed bayonets, they marched rapidly along the north side of the town across the Mobile and Ohto Railroaa, and then, turning the head of their column south, brought their forces down the streets into the main part of the town, the advance reaching a bridge which goes over the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. During the time, which occupied half au hour, the artillory firefrom the forts and (rom the public square played torrents of shell and canister shot through the rebel ranks, and, when those columns cgme pouring along the streets, the artillery from the pubfic square mowed dower their ranks and piled the strecta with the dead and dying.

From the nature of the country over which we fought it is impossi bie to arrive at-an accurate estimate of the number of the euemy; but this may be inferred from the number of arts thrown away, the quantity of thoir artillery, and the fact that a portion of their iorces engaged against us Were not at Corinth, Guns are heard to-night in the di- reotion of Corinth.

MEETING OF THE OFFICERS, REPRESENTATIVES AND FOREMEN OF THE FIRE DECARTMENT. One ot the most enthusiastic ineetings over held by the members of the New York Fire Department took place on Thursday eventiog, wt Firemen’s Hall, participated im by the officers, represca’atives aud foremen of the de partment, in behalf of the Second regiment Firo ‘Gouaves, ‘The many battles that this noble regiment has parti cipated in have redueed its ranks too small a aumber that the War Department bas threatened to consolidate 16 with some other regiment. Col, BreWster has, however, succecded in obtaining a few days to enable him to re eruit tho regiment to the required number, 80 as to save it from being deprived of its title-the representative of the New York Fire Department. There was quite « large attendance present, The meeting was calied to order by Chief Engineer Jomn Decamr, who nominated Zopbar Mills as chairman, Mr. Muis,0n taking the chair, expressed his sincere thank: for the honor done him in selecting him aa chair- man of the meeting, but expressed himseif somewhat ignorant as to the real purport af the meeting. Chief Kogineer Decker stated that the object of the movting was solely for the purpose of taking steps to nid in recruitiog the Second regiment Fire Zounves that ia connection with Mr. Wm. H. Wickham, President of the Department, they had issued a call of the gentlemen pre- sent with a view of seeing what could be done to save the regiment from consolidation. He was happy to state that Colone! Brewster, of the Second regiment, was present, and, if it was the wish of those present, the Colonel would be pleased to make a statement ag to the present condi tion of the regiment. ‘The name of Colonel Brewster was received with éimn- mense applause, and he was conducted to the I’resident's chair by Chief Engineer Decker. On motion, W. R. Chambers, foreman of Hose Com- pany No 32, was called to-act as secretary. Colonel Buxwster, being then called upon , addressed the meeting, stating that, appearing as he did among ther almost a stranger, yet a8 tie bead of the regiment. the de- partment he knew well Le was welcomed among thei. His appearance in New York was solely to sustain the regi- ment, He felt as though they stood in the position of the parent and children—the department the perent aud he the representative of the children, waiting for their or- ders. As for the regiment, it was needless for bim to say that they had seen many a hard fought battle, aud to- finds the ranks greatly reduced im numbers. The time, he said, bad now arrived when something must be done to save the noble regiment. He could only aak for the future what had been done in the past, The battles of Wil- liamsburg and Fair Oaks, where the daring Fieney and Captain Glass fell mortally wounded, also Lieut. Bleck, who was the first man of the rogiment to sacrifice his life on that memorable battle field, will ever be an hour to the department. For three days, he said, the regiment was kept constantly on picket duty, lasting over seveoty- four hours; and yet, he was proud to say, he never heard & complaint from one of the men. At the seven days’ fight, Malvern Hill, and on the peninsula, lave the heroic deeds of his command been marked with honor, where fell the patriotic Captain Donald, one of the most gallant officers that could be found among the ranks of the army. He regretted that at this last battle he was prevented from being present. In his abseuce the command of the reginont fell upon Captain Donald, and it was his misfortune to fall a victim to the enemy's fire. It was also at this eventful battle that we lost Lieutesant McAiister avd Lieutenant Lewis. Both fell leading on their command, which consisted of only ninety-nine men aod eight officers; and when the battle closed all u could be mustered together was but forty meu and five officers. The whole time that they were eu- gaged in this conflict was net over one hour. At the bat- fics on the peniusule they went on the ground with $01 men, and came off with but 226. He was proud to have the opportunity to say in the presence of the heads of the department that the men who composed his little band stoot faithfully by him, and that there were pone that made better suidicrs than firemen. His appearence among them was solely to as#ist ip filing up the regiment, hey vow numbered about three hundred and fifty mea, which was too smat! to hold ita organization, though it was not worse off than many other regiments; for the many battles that the Army of the Potamac bad partici pated in, and the fatal hand of disease, had reduced its numbers ty nearly 200,000. He, therefore, wae among them to appeal for recruits. He asked for but little: but he wanted that littio now. Though & member of the department, he felt thongh he spoke as one of them. Colonel Brewster alluded to the colors o€ the regiment, which they carried with them in remembrance of the de- partment. ‘They were still, he said, with them. Though torn and blood stained, they were the pride of the regi- mont, Aud he intendedsoon adver his return to mand to lorward them to the department os « trophy Ile now hoped some eiQrt would be taken. He know had the oo-cperation of Chief Engmeer Decker aad the fire companics, aud he koped they would never falter in well doing.

The Creole contains an account of a public meeting hel@ In Georgetown on the 20th Auguat, to take into couside- ration the subject of immigration from the United States, ‘Ths movement originated. tn uence of @ desire om the part of the federal government to get rid of ite lib erated slaves. Mr. Walker, the government Socretary of Demerara, has been appointed to proceed te Washington on this important mission, from ch the most favora- bie reaults are anticipated. In allusion to the subject, the Creole remarks:—Tho utmost amount that an Amert- can immigrant will oost for his introduction is twenty dollars, and it is confidently expected that the cost will aot exceed fiiteen dollars per head—about one-cighth of the coat of a Chinese immigrant, and about one-fifth of the cost of a coolie; while the American laboror is worth any twe Chinese or coolies, At tho meeting on Wednesday, one of the speakers, Mr. Winter furnished some interesting statistics ag to the reiative coat of American and Chinese immigration, taken in the groas. He showed that for the season 1960-61 there were 3,267 Chinese immigrants in- troduced, who cost the colony and the planters toget! $408,375, an amount sufficient to give the colony migrants from the United Stater; ard. astina can cmiyrant to be wrth two C tise in physical opab aly, the number obtainable for that amount o money was equal to seventeen years of Chinese immigration at samefrute as for theseagon named. The same paper addar— We may be permitted tc auppl ment this statement ef the case by taking coolio. itnmigrativn into the calcule- tion. In the same season there were 4 696 coolics imtre- duced, and the expense of their introduction amounted to $267,515. Thus, the total oxpenses 0: these two deserin- tions of immigration for tho aexson amounted to $475,088 for the introductiou of 7,963 people. The same amount of money expended on’ Amorican immigration would have given us 45,000 people, equal to 00,000 Chinese an@ eooites. Ss HIPPING NEWS. _ Urn ise, Bi gj ermgre 805 aes. . 6 25] mom waren.
