Beauregard Out-flanked and Compelled to Fall Back!

NEW YORK, April 5. – The World’s special says private information, derived from a responsible source, has reached here that Beauregard has been out-flanked near Corinth and compelled to fall back, , and that a heavy body of troops is between the enemy and Memphis, and not far from the Mississippi.  Glorious news, adds the world, may be expected in a day or two.
