The Eleventh Iowa went out on picket at 5 o'clock this
evening. It was reported in camp that General Beauregard is moving all of his
heavy ordnance and his entire army to the south with a view of evacuating
Corinth. The report says that teams loaded with munitions of war are leaving
Corinth every day.
