They (ought as they slowly moved back, keeping up their fire from their artillery and muskets along their whole column, and apparently disdaining any motion which could be considered ns approximation to a retreat. — As they retreated (hey went in excellent order, battling at every advantageous point, and delivering their fire with considerable effect. Moving somewhat in tho direction of the river, close]> followed by our men,General Grant feared that some mistake might occur on the part of the gun-boats whereby our men might be injured by their fire. Accordingp' a messenger was sent, ordering the Tyler and Lexington to “steam up to Hamburg four miles above, and on no occasion to fire inland before reaching that point as our men had driven the enemy so far that the shells might injure the wrong psrty.” Il was now a matter, settled beyond dispute, that the enemy were retreatingThey were making but little fire, and heading their entire column lor Gorinth, by both roads leading in that direction.From all divisions of our lines they were closelv pursued, a galling fire being kept upon their rear, which they still returned ut intervals, but with little or no effect — J have neglected heretofoie to mention that, from Sunday noon until night and from Monday morning up to the time I have now reached in this outline description of the battle, not less than three thousand cavalry had remained seated in their saddles on the hill-top overlooking the river, patiently and earnestly awating the arrival of the lime when an order should come for them to pursue the flying enemy. That time bad now hi rived, and a courier from General Grant bad scarcely delivered his message, before the entire body was in motion. Those who have never witnessed a charge of so large a force of horsemen, should have been there to have seen the wild tumult of the eager riders, and ap-, parently equally excited steeds. The en- ; t-my have been driven beyond our former lines, and are in full retreat in the direc- ] tion of Corinth. In regard to this result, I think, we may believe that the rebel h-adeis were not as confident of success this morning ■ as when the contest of yesterday began, for I am infomed to night, by one of the captuied, that 'Beauregard had last night ordered that two ’hundred empty cars be sent to Corinth during the early part of to day.” Whether this is true or not, or whether it was preparatory to the safety of his troops in case of defeat, 1 leave your readers to decide, for themselves. Out thing is certain, bis promise to Ivs troops \ that they should drink of the waters of ; the Ti nnessea to eight, has proven a failure. They must for the present slack their thirst from some of the creeks which I flow into that river from a southerly direction. A visit to tho field immediately after the retreat of the rebels and the pursuit of our forces, exhibited a spectacle sei dom to be witnessed and most horrible to contemplate. The first approaches, occupying ti e further range of ’.he enemy’s guns, showed at the first glance the work of devastation made by those b 11 and shell which had overshot the mark.— Large trees were entirely cut off within ten feet of the ground, heavy limbs laystrewn in every direction, and pieces of exploded missiles were scattered all around. Tlie carcases of dea I horses and the wrecks of wagons strewed all the woods, and other evidences of simil.r character marked every step of the way. Hall a mile further on. and the more important feature of the struggle was . brought to view. Dead bodies in the woods, the dead and dying in the fields, lying in every conceivable shape, met the gaze on either hand. S >me lav on their back with their clenched hands rai-ed at arms length, upright in the air. Others, still had received the winged messenger of death, and with their remaining strength had crawled awav from further danger, and sheltering themselves behind old logs had laid down to die. Here were the bodies of those who hnd fallen i t the fight of yesterday, and mingled with them were those from whose wounds the blood was vet trickling away. The scene beggars ail description, and I do not wish to • ttempt to depict its horrors. The fatality on the open space I have relered to as the “Battalion Drill Ground,” was lhe greatest which came under my observation. The canister which had swept over it during the morning had been terrible in its results. Strongly contested ns its possession had been by both sides, yet the dead were as five to one on the side of the rebels. One man here was in a bent position, resting on bis hands and feel, wilh bis face downward, yet cold rigid as marble. One had crawled away to the border of the woods, and ensconcing himself between two logs had spread bis blanket above him to shield him, perhaps f»om the rain of the previous night. He was a wounde rebel, and pireouslv asked “if we could do any thing for him?” At bis set lay the body of one of those Union boys I have spoken of as having had his hair burnt from bis head. On interrogating the rebel as to the cause of bis being in such a condition, I.is only reply »a-: “I do not know; I did not do it.” We assured him that mi ambulance would soon be at band to take him to bettei quarters, end left him.

' The Battle nt Pittsburg Landing. We occupy most of our space in today's paper with such details of the battle as have reached us. It is claimed to be a great victory, but it has been dearly purchased. Had there been p oper precaution used, the disaster of the first day might have been avoided. And this carelessness is the more inexcusable, encamp- . ed ss our army was tn the immediate vi- , cinity of a powerful hostile army, com- i ninnded bv the most energetic and enterprising rebel Generals, without the usual * 1 3 . . . < pickets out to guard against jnst such an f attack ns they were visited with. The contest on our part was an exhibition of < the bravey and valor of our men, but the ‘ manner in which it was conducted by * our Generals reveals a "strategy” that t it would be well to lay aside in the future. r For several weeks we have been unable <• ito give that attention to our paper we should like to. Our readers and adver- U. tising patrons will please bear with _us t fur a short time, and we will get our as- v i fairs “straightened out.” - r f' Afiairs nt Yorktown. c Fortress Monroe, April G.—The nr- g toy, under the immediate command of )( j Gen. McClellan, left camp at daylight, ! the advance being as far as Cockeysville. I Soon after starting, the heavens became r black with large heavy clouds, giving evidence that we were to march through a u . heavy shower of rain. Very soon it be , | gan to ruin, flooding the roads—especially ] those through the woods—so as to be al- | most impassable. The infantry pushed (( on, overcoming all obstacles. The cavairy and artillery dashed on pell mell f through, all anxious to get ahead, Gen. . McClellan an 1 staff were but a short dis- ] ( lance behind the advance. About 10 o’clock, on the morning of i the sth, the booming of the first gun was ] heard. It electrified the whole line. — ] Overcoats, blankets, haversacks, &c., | were thrown awav by the anxious sold- , iers, each regiment vieing with lhe other to bo the first in The roads became ter- ;■; rible for locomotion the further we ad-1 vnneed; mud holes, ruts, sloughs, &c., i seemed to go far toward making up the \ . road. The line of battle was formed about , ’ ten o’clock, Berdan’s Sharpshooters in ] , ; the advance. As the various coluras arrived on the ground, they at once began . to take their respective positions. Gen. ! , Porter’s division has the center, General ( i Sedgwick the extreme’ right. General . Hamilton and General Smith the ex. rente left. A heavy pine forest intercepted the ; troops, except occasional clearings, which gave a distinct view of the enemy’s in-: trenchments. These intrenchments seem- I ed to be of lhe first-class style, and moun- i ted with heavy guns, supposed to have come from the Norfolk Navy Yard. Soon after the firing commenced, the j enemy recognized Gen Porter and staff, and at once opened upon him with shell, one of which burst within twenty feet of the G neral. Co 1 . Arerell, of the Third Pennsylvania Cavalry also made it verynarrow escape. The fight was carried on al-nost entirely with artillery, with the exception of Berdan’s Sharpshooters. Weeden’s Battery opened first, followed by Martin’s on the left. Soon Griffin’s Third Rhode Is-i land and Fifth Massaceusetts were in position, aad the battle commenced in earnest. The discharges were rapid on the Union side, answered, at intervals, by t the enemy. i The heaviest firing commenced at half' . past twelve; Morell’s brigade, on the left, j . advanced within three-quarters of a mile ( of the intrenched enemv. t The sharpshooters, with their telescop- ! , ic rifles, kept the enemy away from their 1 j guns. They crept within half a mile of j the rebels. Fur one hour they did not > reply, our sharpshooters popping them off s as soon as they attempted to load. s At one o’clock Capt. Martin’s battery L . had two men killed, five wounded, and' 1' three horses dead. The two men killed' t were named Lewis and Lord. a] Aout seven o'clock Alien’s Fifth Mass sachusetts relieved the Fourth Rhode Is- . land, the rebels all day, when opportunir ly offering, trying to shell out lhe sharp- ■ shooters, without avail. Griffin’s battery e received no loss, although batteries at j their side lost several. ! During (he day the rebels fired a small piece of ordnance, of one mc.h bore, rifled at the Berdans. After Griffin’s Battery was brought ine to action it silenced three guns of the rcbP|tis. j Tuc artillerists acted rwbly daring the

whole engagement. They took their position and maintained it until ordered to move. — — 111 111 — Further Details of Gen. Pope’s Movement over the River—Rebel Batteries Silenced—Good Service of the Gunboats. New Madrid, April 7 —The gunboat 1 Carondolet ran the blockade at Island No. 10 on Friday night, and the gu .boat Pittsburg on Sunday night. All the batteries of the enemy opened fire, but not a | shot struck either boat. Gen, Pope has ' succeeded in getting four steamers and five barges by the channel cut through ! ! the swamps from Phillips' Landing, above ; Island No. 10. The extraordinary and Herculean task was assigned to Colonel Bissell, with his . regiment of engineers and mechanics, and has been well executed. It was essential to the crushing of the enemy and the capture of the island. Yesterday the gunboat Carondolet, Captain Walke, accompanied by General Granger, Colonel Smith of the Fortythird Ohio, and Captain L. 11. Marshall, aid to Gen. Pope, made a reconnoissancc, by order of Gen. Pope, to Tiptonville, the object being to draw the fire from the masked batteries of the enemy. A large number of batteries were dis covered at or near each point where troops could land, and there was a continuous fire of heavy guns al) day. The Carondolet attacked one battery on her way up the river, and Lewis H. Marshall, Aid lo Gen Pop.e aecompaniei! by some soldiers of the Twenty-seventh Illinois, landed, spiked the guns, broke] the carriages and threw the rebels’ ammu- j nition into the river. All returned to New Madrid in safety, |] delighted with their excursion. This morning the gunboats Carondolet and Pittsburg proceeded by order to the point selected bv Gen Pope for his forces to land, and in two hours three batteries were silenced and (lie gnus spikedAt 11 o'clock the first division of four regiments, infantry and one battery of artillery, commanded by General Paine, crossed the river, followed by General Stanley's Division, then General Hamillon’s and the cavalry division under Gen. Granger. The whole operation of crossing the river in the face of the enemy was a magnificent spectacle, and reflects great credit upoa Gen. Pope, whose energy and skill , have been severely taxed, but he has tii ! umnhed. General Pope at once hastened to Tip- I lon, and attacked lhe enemy this morn- ] ing, and took 2 000 prisoners; mostly : from Arkansas and Louisiana. He will, probably, get as many more before night. The rebels fled to the swamps in great consternation. The vic’ory is complete and decisive. Great quantities of stores, cannon and ammunition have fallen into our hands.— All the baggage and supplies are taken. t he '.' ouuiled from Pittsburg—Additional Details of the Fight—Reported Death of the Rebel Gen. Bragg. St Louts, April 14 —The steamer D. A. January, arrived nt our wharf last ev< ning. with several hundred of our sick and wounded from 1 ittsburg. Captain Bartlett, of the January, reports that the Minnehaha, laden with wounded, has gone up the Ohio. The City of Memphis landed’Fune thousand wounded at Mound City. Among the wounded are Capt. Wm Copp, of the 9th Indiana, who says there is no doubt of the death of Gen Brngg in Monday’s fight. Also, that Johnson, the so called Provisional Governor of K-n---tucky is dead. ’He died as he lay within six feet of Captain Copp on board the Hannibal. The whole rebel army in battle was one hundred and twenty-three regiments — about 75,000 m-n. These facts are ob- ' tamed from a Brigade Quartermaster named Wintermuth, who was taken pris-on-r. Our total killed and wounded is now estimated al 3,000, The name of Col. John 11. McHenry, 17tli Kentucky, wounded at Pittsburg, was erroneously printed in first dispatches as C. McKindrr. The steamer Woodford arrived last night with about 300 prisoners from Pittsburg. Highly Important from Mitchell’s Division—Oceuputiou of Huntsville, Alaj b»mn. | Wasiiihgton, April 12. —The Secretary of War has received information that Huntsville. Alabama, was occupied yesterday by Gen, Mitchell, without much resistance. 200 prisoners were taken; also fifteen locomotives and a large amount of rolling stock. Wa-hington, April 14.—The following dispatch has been received by the Secretary of War, dated Nashville, Tennessee, t April 14. On Saturday Morning two expeditions were started for Huntsvile on the cars. One under Col Sill, of the 321 Ohio, went east to Stevenson, the junction of the Chattanooga with the Memphis d; Charleston Railroad, which point they ’ seized, 2.000 of the enemy retreating I without firing a shot. Col. Sill captured five locomotives and a large amount ol I rolling stock. ! Another expedition under Col- Turchin of the 19th Illinois, went west and ar- ■ rived al Decatur in time to save the rail- • ( road bridge, which was in flames. Gei>. Mitchell now holds 100 miles 01 J 1 the M empbis and Charleston Railroad.

Further of the Fight at Pittsburg. I ' Chicago, April 12 -The Tribune’s I reporter, returned from Pittsburg, furnishes the following; Ta vlot's and Waterhouses Batteries, supported by tho 'J wenty-third lU ’ n , o ? 3 ’ ] Seventy-seventh and Fifty third Onio,i were first in the fight. ■ Both Ohio regiments ran —the bev-p I enty-seventh without firing a gun leaving Water-house without support. He fought , I half an hour, however retiring with three ,; „f hi- guns. He was wounded in the. tlnghSaMinieball, not fatally. His'! battery was badly cut up. j Taylor’s Battery continued to fight . ' supported splendidly bv the Illinois Reg- < : imeut, until he and his support were j outflanked on both sides. Hethen rctirlcd through a cross-fire, having but one ; man killed and seventeen wounded. Meantime Water-house, with his three,! I guns, took up the second position, su P'j ( ported by the Second Brigade of Me Cler-: band’s Division, composed of the Kiev- - entb, Seventeenth, Twentieth, Forty fifth 1 and Fortv eighth Illinois, Colonel Marsh ! commanding. During the forenoon they ; i were compelled to retire through their own | encampment, with heavy loss, into some ■ woods, where they formed in line of bat- ( tie. |s An advance was then ordered ..by Me- ] demand; one hundred rods brought them > in si"ht of the rebels. Here commenced one of the most fiercely contested engage ments of the day, resulting in the repulse of the enemy, who were driven back through our encampment. ) ( At this point the enemy met reinforce- ' ments, and our nnimunition being out, , Marsh’s command gave place to other bri gades. They, however, were compelled ] 1 to retreat to within half a mile of the river. At this moment the gun-boats opened fire, throwing shells over the heads of our men, and covering the ground in every | direction with the rebel slain. Taylor’s Battery again took position on the parade ground of the First Division and opened on the rebel battery, placed eight hundred yards distant, and a splendid artillery duel took place, and the rebel battery was silenced —their caisson ’ having been blown up. Taylor’s Battery was then ordered into the reserve. During the fight, several Mississippi regiments, who had arrived on Saturday night, came into the fight on double quick | and were almost immediately repulsed. (>ll Monday a Michigan battery, captured the day before, was retaken by tho Six- i tei-nih Wisconsin. The fight over the battery was conduct j cd in person by Beauregard, who in his efforts to recover it, was wounded in the ] arm. He was successful in taking it, but I it was again taken from him. It was : captured and recaptured no less t han six j times. The Chicago Light Artillery was so sc 1 verely handled the first day that it was able to work only three guns on Monday but with these, after a desperate contest they succeeded in completely silencing and capturing a rebel battery of six guns I They were, however, compelled to abanI don it, from bek of horses to draw it off. Their own pieces were brought off by , band. The general retreat of the enemy commenced at dark, on Monday, our cavalry following until their horses were] tired out. But for the almost impassable ] condition of the roads the rout would: have been complete, and we could have carried their intrenched camp at Corinth ! It will be impossible, on account of the ! , condition of the roads, to do it for some I days. The rebel artillery is superior to , ] ours, and their small arms almost equal. j The rebel loss is 15,000 killed and wound td. Our loss 10,000. These are , ] found to be modera e estimates. Theen.g ] emy have taken more prisoners than we. ,: The Eight lowa were captured en masse. Reporters left Wednesday morning, ; Our advance, which has been pursuing' .•only occupi-d the ground formerly held; by tho enemy, half way between Pittsburg and Coriuth. , The enemy are straining every nerve to get in reinforcements. Bloody work must yet occur before we drive them from their position. ] The Times’ special says the responsibili y of the surprise rests with* the com- , manding officer. On Friday a large ! force of rebel cavalry appeared within sight of our lines and remained there; but General Sherman, who occupied the . advance, hid been ordered not to bring . on an engagement, consequently he sent out no corresponding force to meet them. E What We Captured at Island No. 10. The spoils captured by our army at 1 this surrender may be summed up as fol- - lows: One Major-General, three Brigt a lier-Generals, ten Colonels, some Lieutenant Colonels and Majors fifty six Cap- > toms, sixty-four Lieutenants, eighty-four - becond Lieutenants, non commissioned , officers for eight regiments, 5,000 privates 50,000 stand of arms, 125 pieces of ars tillery, 840,000 worth of provisions, 10 - steamboats, 2 000 horses and mules, 4.000 ~ wagons, ammunition not estimated. The d, regiments of the rebel army captured are t as follows: Fortieth Tennessee, Fortv j s’xtb Tennessee, Fifty-fifth Tennessee, g Eleventh Arkansas. Third Arkansas, d j Twelfth Arkansas, First Alabama, and >( the Pelican Guards, of New Orleans. i- Cairo, April 12—Aesterday two splen-•-J did batteries of rifled guns wore found I- in the woods below Island No. 10.
