as a feint, as the main body of the rebels under Van-Dorn were on our left, concealed in the low ground behind College Hill.--The ruse, however, did not succeed. The contest lasted until half-past 11 o'clock A. M. The enemy drove in our centre, and a large number of them penetrated to the Corinth House. The most desperate fighting took place in the public square of the town. It is said to be literally covered with the dead. Finally they are driven out at the point of the bayonet, and Gen. Hamilton secured the centre with two regiments. Van-Dorn and Lovell made a most determined attack on the extreme left, near the Chevalier road. They led their men to the attack through the abattis. Two of their columns reached the ditch, and the other two stopped not fifty paces from it.--During the advance a perfect storm of grape and canister was poured upon them. When, however, despite the fierce resistance, they had reached the point above indicated, the 27th Ohio and 11th Missouri m

trong in position and resisting with obstinacy, they carried the mountain, and prepared the way for the advance of the army, won for them the admiration of their brethren in arms. In the memorable battle of Antietam we defeated a numerous and powerful army of the enemy, in an action desperately fought and remarkable for its duration and for the destruction of life which attended it. The obstinate bravery of the troops of Hooker, Mansfield, and Sumner, the dashing gallantry, of those of Franklin on the right, the steady valor of those of Burnside on the left, and the vigorous support of Porter and Pleasanton, present a brilliant spectacle to our country men which will swell their hearts with pride and exultation. Fourteen guns, thirty-nine colors, fifteen thousand five hundred stand of arms, and nearly six thousand prisoners, taken from the enemy, are evidences of the completeness of our triumph. A grateful country will thank the noble army for achievements which have res

That among the pretexts urged for the continuance of the war, is the assertion that the Confederate Government d consisting of dark gray woolen jackets and light blue pants, &c.

The general impression among them is that the war will not end until the expiration of President Lincoln's term of office.

On his arrival at Richmond he met several regiments coming from the interior en route for the seat of war. All the soldiers arriving in the city were immediately forwarded in the direction of the Rappahannock, where the rebels, he was told, had gathered an army of forty thousand strong. The general impression among officers was that Gen. Lee would not leave his line of operations on the Potomac, the Confederates having enough men between Washington and Richmond to defend the latter city against any force which the Federal could bring against it. The American question in France. The Paris correspondence of the New York Herald is dated on the 26th ult.

Everybody, however, is sick of hostilities, and the troops desire to return to their homes; yet one constantly hears the remark, "You may exterminate us, but you cannot subjugate us." A French gentleman from Georgia, by way of Richmond, arrived in New York on the 9th, with some "interesting details concerning the spirit and the operations of the rebels in the various parts of the country through which he passed."

The Sioux war, by the same authority, is declared to be practically ended. --fifteen hundred of the hostile Indians are prisoners, and many others coming in.

The New York Herald, of the 10th, has dispatches announcing a general engagement between Bragg and Buell at Perryville, Ky., which is preceded by a long heading, in which the word "victory" does not occur once.
