This is the question often asked but not yet solved. We confess we opine there will be no battle – that Beauregard will not give battle. But there is no certainty about it. The rebels may risk everything upon a last desperate battle at Corinth. But whether they fight or not, they have a general to deal with who will be hard to out manoeuvre or whip. Gen. Halleck, we think, is equal to the great occasion and to all the rebel generals pitted against him.
