The Tribune has the following speculations and intelligence relative to if, which are interesting just now: The telegraph news yesterday informed us that the enemy has evacuated Corinth. Very extensive works were put up there. He has not evacuated it because it was --did it unquestionably voluntarily. For Pillow it is also reported, has been evacuated.

After they had murdered them all and thrown their bodies into the river, they returned to the house, taking everything valuable and all the clothing they could carry. Then they started for Island No.10, thinking or knowing they would be protected if they reached there in safety. While they were killing the children, a man by the name of Everett came up, he asked them what they meant, when they commenced firing on him and he narrowly escaped with his life; he started immediately to alarm the neighborhood.

Thomas is in command at Atlanta, and, it is said, has only one corps. There are no cavalry at Atlanta whatever. Our pickets are within a mile of Atlanta, and capture or shoot every Yankee who shows his head. The evacuation of Atlanta by Sherman is confidently expected. From Missouri. Late news from Tennessee says that, on Thursday last, a steamer going from Memphis to Cincinnati was fired into by our troops when near Island No.37 from the Missouri side. The engineer, a dock hand, and several horses, were killed. The Yankees estimate the force posted along the river and interfering with their commerce at two thousand, and say that they are stragglers from Price's army.--Price would hardly have stragglers now; but if the Yankee account be true, they are straggling to some purpose.
