Flat Top. — No news yet from Corinth; none from
Richmond; all in suspense yet. We almost fear to hear the news. Many rumors
indicate that the Rebels are leaving Richmond. The gathering of great forces
opposite to General Banks, and to Fremont all look that way. A large force is
reported near Tazewell or at Tazewell, also. The air is full of rumors. The
great events will soon clear the air, and we shall see where we are.
