Supply limitations played a key role in Confederate General Beauregard's decision to evacuate Corinth in 1862. Despite the displeasure of Confederate President Jefferson's dismay over this, Beauregard saved his army. He had no choice and managed to fool Union General Henry Halleck. Beauregard knew he was vastly outnumbered by Hallek's forces of about 100,000 men. A siege would have been a disaster. Beauregard took up a position 50 miles south in an easier place to put up a defense. The details are these:* Hallecks scouts believed that Corinth was bing reinforced due to the blair of horns and the sounds of trains;* Loud cheers orchestrated by Beauregard made it seem that help was on the way or there already;* Soon after Halleck's heavy cannons blasted away at Confederate lines;* Halleck was surprised that there was no return fire from the enemy;* Confederate cannons were seen along with the hats of Confederate soldiers, they were scarecrows;* Citizens of Corinth set out a white flag of surrender;* Beauregard's camp was empty, logs with painted black "muzzles" fooled Halleck;* The trains supposedly bringing in Confederate reinforcements were actually trains moving soldiers out of Corinth;Beauregard successfully saved his army to fight another day by fooling Halleck. Of course, Corinth was a valuable place, now given over to Union forces.
Not much. Corinth was located in NorthEast corner of Mississippi and was an important rail center for the Union troops. So some troops did travel down the Tennessee River and by rail to Corinth, then over to Memphis and down the Mississippi River. Meridian was not important at all except that Confederate troops were stationed in that area.
