Still later.
Morgan's recent fight.

Mobile, May 19th.
--A special dispatch to the Advertiser dated Corinth 18th inst., says Capt. Avery, of the Georgia Dragoons, successfully penetrated the enemy's lines two nights since, and discovered the whole Federal army moving from the river upon our position, fortifying as they advanced; also, bringing up siege guns of immense size.-- There was considerable movement of the enemy on our right last night.

One of Morgan's men arrived last night, and reports that Morgan lost twenty killed and wounded, and forty prisoners, in the fight at Lebanon. Morgan's force killed sixty Federals and captured 140, but was compelled to retire, a heavy Federal force being near, coming to attack. Morgan's missing men are coming in.
