The Sltgeof lland Ten-The Trojnn Horte Outdone .tobodf Killed. The fpleudkl achievements of Cornnilore Footk an General Pore In capturing the fortification on and adjacent to Ialand Ten were niahil owing to the transportation of Heram crt the country to aid the litter to transport hi troops over the rlrer and the running of the blockade by the gunboat. We annex an exceedingly interesting account of the manner in hich the boata ere transported over the country from aboTe Island Ten to New Madrid and the result of four week terrific bombardment

by both mortar and gnnboat, from which it appears that nobody was killed and but lew wounJeJ: TaA54rxjRTIXO BOATS ACBOSS THE CGt'STBY. The gret feature of thi memorable fliege and the ir.me liate cause of the gloiiuua victory which followed, is the trnnport.ition of the four steamers acros-s the country to the aid of (Jeneral I'ui. The originator and iuccc.sful rejector of tliis brilli irjt exploit was Colonel Hi-sell of St. Louis. He is the commander of a regiment of tnznwn and mechanic, whose duty it is to do theme clniiii al work appertaining to the propres: of the arnir, ?uch a. building bridge, clearing obstructions, Jtc. When the place was imestcd Colonel His-ell came across the neck ot land which ij formet by the bend of the river, in a small boat, the water being so l,i!i that navigation was perfectly ey, with the exception of obstruction offered by trees and undergrowth. He announced that (Jen. I'oj-e, although below the enemy, and in condition to crofs and completely purround them, was in wjnt of boats for that purpose,' and could make no movement until he was put in possession of t!ie lnl of the river, and there was no means of passing them .without transports. C j!. Li.-MtU announced that he was in readiness to attempt the ta?k of taking them across the country, and arrangements wore immoliately made to exjlile the project. The steamers W. 15. Terry and Trio being of light draft, and drawing but thiity Incites of w ater, were place at his disposal, and tlte point for entering the woods was Herted at the foot of Mind No. b. The didiculties of this work will be understood when it i un lerstood that for a distance of over twelve miles the boaL were to be transported through a heavy forest where the trees were uncommon ly large and close together, nnd where the dense cotton wood undergrowth and cane brake pecu liar to this country grow in all its native luxuriance. Tb?re was plenty of water, the river having overflowed its hanks to a depth of from from five to fifteen feet, and in many placemuch deeper. The ta.sk of clearing out the trees wits one that would hate disnmed ;i stouter heart than Colonel Iii. shell's., but for the engineering experience and natural ingenuity w hich carne to his aid. He attacked the prime val forest, nnd in a few hours was buried from tight in its depths. Accompanied by a large detachment of men, In pm.dl boats and fl.itbo.its, armed with long cross cut aaws and axes.he made fast work of it. The trees to he cut were selected and chopped down. They were, however, as much in the way as ever, as the stumps were still above water. An upright timber was then fastened to the stump, and to the ton of this, some pix feet high, was fastened an oscillatng frame, swinging on a bolt, and extending four feet below the surface of the river. The saw was fastened to this frame at the lower end, and, with a rope extending each way, it was pulled back and forth until the tree tab sawed oil". In this way (lie largest trees succumbed and fell in & short time. Fifteen minutes usually conquered an or dinary tree, and half an hour was sufficient for the giants of the forest. The work was not done then, however. The overhanging tree-tops w ere to be cut to allow the upper works and chimneys to p:v-s, the trunks of the fallen trees were to be cleared away, and a clear channel as wide as a team?oat was to be made, all requiring the rno.-t arduous labor and perseverance. The boats progres.sed, sometimes slowly and sometimes with considerable speed, in accordance with the ntture of the country. Some d.ijs they ir. nie no more than ne or two lengths of the boat, while on others they moved a mile or more. They did not keep a straight course, but turned aside when a mine or valley offered less obstructions, and in this way they worked in a northwesterly conr-e, w hich was not in the di-iection of New Madrid, The great object was to reach a deep bayou which emptied into the river at that place. Tins bayou was the bed of a creek which ran in a ravine, and was comparatively clear of obstructions. Atter much labor and disappointment, they finally struck this bayou, about ten miles from the point they started fiom, and after having been in the woods a week and a half. They were thea nearly as far from New Madrid as when they started, but the bavou was comtar.i-

tiely free from tress and undergrowth, and they made rapid progress towards the river. Finally,'

alter having been in the woods over two weeks without sight of dry land, they emerged into tVe Mississippi once more, and with joyful hearts titer steinte! up to New Madrid, amid the enthu

Mtic welcoming of our soldiery, who saw in! them the harbingers of change and relief. Thev

The JUnd was extensively cut up; trees were uprooted, and a general upturning of things p-revailei wherever there hapj-ene.1 to be nolnnly to hurt. Thi was he result of a four weeks' in rUr bombardment. On our side the ume result prevailed, both Lere and with Geo. Pope. f Colfax on .ncClellan. In a letter to his pper, the South Bend Rtji ttr, ScHL'TUk Colfax thus criticize the military ojrrations of Gen. McClfllan: I receive a great many anxious letters, a.'king, What of the Army ot the Potomac! ' I can only answer that I had hoped, long ere this, that tils army, a quarter of a million strong, would have carried out the President's War Orders to move promptly against the enemy, and Secretary Stanton's instructions, which were "to pursue, capture and destroy." The exiectatioii here was that when they did move, they would, with the innumerable wagons, Ac, they had accumulated for transportation, follow the retreating army of the rebels, engage it, overthrow it, and then march straight to Richmond. Rut they did not; and a very large portion of them have been taken in transports to Fort Monroe and its vicinity, at a very heavy cost. As General McClcllan, twenty days ago, on the 1 1th of March, in his address to them, promised to lead thern immediately against the enemy, I can only hope that the promise is soon to be redeemed. I do not, as you know, attempt to criticise the military operations of the Commanding Generals whom the Administration confide in and keep in the field. Rut as Governor Chase declares that tlte cost of the Potomac army is one million three hundred thousand dollars per day, at the rate of nearly five hundred millions per year, I feel, in common with the people at large, the most in ten.-e anxiety that, after eight months of prepa ration, they should proceed to the wotk of restoring the Union by crushing out the armies w ftich threaten it existence. The hot summer is near at hand; and the solicitude of Congress lor prom paction, wuich has j rev .tiled since last December, increases and intensifies daily.

correspjndent writes us from Franklin,

Itipley county, Indiana, that the late election in that township the whole Democratic t cket wa elected by tin average majority of twenty-five votes. At the President election the Democracy were beaten fifty-two votes. This is a specimen of the political reaction w hich is going on in the country districts of Indiana. Cin. llnq. The Johnson County I In aid says: The elec tion on Monday last 1'rom every locality in the State brings glad tidings for the good old Democratic party. In this county every towns-hip gave a 1 trgtly increised Democratic majoiity with the exception of Franklin and probably Nineveh. In this town-hip tlte Rlack Republicans run their straight out party ticket, which was, as usual elected with the exception of one constable, but by decreased majorities. The Goshen Dnnocrat say.-: In Jefferson tow n.-hip, Klkh trt county, there were two tickets nominated, and the entire Re publican ticket was defeated, the Democrats electing their Trustee and one of their Consta bles,nnd im iudependert candidate being cho-eii for the oilier constable. This is a gratifying and hopeful success in a township which has been largely Republican. The Democracy of Niles, Michigan, were triumphant in the city election on the 7th. R. W. Landon, for Mayor, and all the other Democratic candidates for city otlices are chosen, the former by eighty-six majority, and they carry three of the fur Aldermen. The people of Divenport, Iowa, after years of Republican and Abolition dournation, shook off the yoke of fanaticism on Saturday lat by the election of a majority of the Democratic ticket, including the City Marshal, City Ulcrk and City Treasurer. Dubuque Herald. The Democracy of St. Paul' achieved a victory at the election held on the 1st of April. Out of tw enty-seven city officers to be elected tw entyfour of tlte elect are Dcrnoer.it, including the Mayor and City Council, all the city ollicers down to constable by an average majority of 300. Let the ball roll on.

Wlint tlie IC rr en t ? unirlpnl K I ret ion Demonstrate. The recent municipal elections in the Northwest, in all of which surprising Democratic gains have been made, have demonstrated that the strength and efficiency of the party organiz ition have not been in the least impaired by the fale and scandalous cry of "secessionist" leveled by the opposition press at every Democratic candidate. We commend thi lesson to the Unionists of the Wendell Phillips stripe. They will learn from it that, despite their interested croaking, the Democratic party organization w ill be maintained in its utmost efficiency, and, instead of Democrats idly defending themselves from charges of disloyalty, that it is Black Republicanism which is on trial befoie the country. In their partisan eagerness to defeat the Democracy by repeating this false cry of "secession," our opponent seem to forget that the "inexorable logic" of their proposition is that a majority of the people of the Northwest are secessionists; and that, to the extent of this assertion, they are nlVonlins aid and comfort to the armed enemies of the Union. Jeff. Davis, for instance, in pc rusing the columns of his co-laborer in a permanent disruption of the Union the moni'iig Abolition newspaper sheet of this city will leain from it that secession has 12.001) majority iti Milwaukee. r00 in D.ibtKjue, 400 in St. Paul, and so on in Madison, La Crosse.

Tlte ftooun floating bittery was sruttlcl, and turned adrift with all her guru aboari; she was captured and run aground iu shoal water bv our forces at New Madrid. Our success is compIts and overwhelming. Our troops, a I expected, behaved gloriously. I will, in my full report, endeavor to do full justice to all. Rrigadier Generals Paine, Stanley and Hamilton croased the river, and coc.ducted their diviiiotis with untiring activity and skill. I am especially indebted to them. Gen. Paine, fortunate in Living the advance, exhibited unusual rigor and courage, and had the fitisfaction to receive the surrender of the enemy. Of Colonel Ri-ael of the engineer regiment, I can hardly say too much. Full of resource, untiring and determined, he labored night and day, and competed a work which will te a monument of enterprise and skill. . We hive crossed this great river with a large army, the banks of which were lined with batteries of the enemy to oppose our passage; have pursued and captured all Lis forces aud material of war, and have not lo.-t a man nor met w ith an accident. Jons Popt, Major General.

Gen. U. Grant. It i3 to be hoped that Gen. Grant, the Commander-in-Chief in the field, will have at least the credit of having gained the victory in the greatest battle that lias yet been fought probably the greatest of the present century. Gen. P. G. T. Reauregard, the most notable, brillhnt and dashing of the rebel Generals, led the enemy. Full of confidence, and with vastly superior numbers, Reauregard had nodoub', of a certain victory. .He is routed, repulsed, driven back with a loss that is utficient to paralyze even a greater army than his. In this instance a generous public fentiment will suffice to silence the voice of petty and envious detraction. Quite possibly, then, may be the criticisms of some callow Lieutenant, showing how the field nullit have been better won, or the supercilous assertion of some aspiring bobadil; but men of plain good tense will judge, in view of results so significant and decisive, that to the commander of that field belongs the ju-t renown of victory, as great us that of Wellington i-t Waterloo. (Jen. Grant h.us had more than rebel enemies to encounter, but he his triumphed over them all. There is reason lor the popular inquiry, why Gen. Ruell's forces were so tartly. Kvery man in the Union knew of the impending battle that on its event hung, in no small degree, the decision of the war. How happened the division of Gen. Don Carlos Ruell to be m slow in their coming? Tlti. question will he asked by every observer of events. Was there any leaven of envious, malignant spite, in th? slow movements of Ruell's columns?

Tiro Xeir Military Departments The Xegrott Crhbratittj their Freedom Opening of the Baltimore and (Jhia Railroad Danger from (hnrillas Work for Fremout and Hanks A llattle at Yorktotcn. Washington, April 7. Gen. Ranks is a pet ht the War Department. A new military department has becu created fur him, embracing all the territory between the Shenandoah river, on the east, and Western Virginia, on the wet, nnd as far south as he choo.-es to go, which will probably be not quite to Staunton. The rebels are hi strong force along the line of hills north of the railroad from (ionloiisviiie to Covington, and all the mountain passes and natural defenses leading to that road from the north have been fortified by Gen. Henry Heth, one of the best engineer ollicers in the South. If Gen. Rinks then really wants to fight (his soldiers of course do,) he can have the opportunity if he will march southward about sixty miles. New military depui tmeuts now spring up like mushrooms. The new military "Department of the Rappahannock" is the most important that has yet been organized. It extends from llarjer's Ferry on the north, to Richmond on the South; from the Patuxeut river (east of the Poto mac) to the Shenandoah. It thus embraces that part of Maryland east of the Lower Potomac, but does not include that part of Virginia south of the Lower Potomac, ea:t of the railroad from Rich inond to Aqui.i creek and south of James river. I itis "Department ot the Rappahannock" (as it is miscalled, for the principal part ofthat stream is not included in it at all.) is placed under the command of Major General Irwin McDowell, a man in every respect worthy ol so grave a charge. If there are laurels to w in there General McDow ell will gather them. That part of Virginia between Richmond, Chesapeake Ray, the Lower Potomac and south of James River, has not been erected into a separate Military Department since the date of the President's war orders. It is possible, therefore, that the distinguished officer named therein will have something to do outside of the 'Department of the Rappahannock." Rut of that no man here knoweth. The negroes here are getting up a demonstration in honor of the celebration of their free loin. Some of them want to have it now, because the bill for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia has passed the Senate. Rut others want to wait until the Hou-e also p.isses the bill. It will be a rich scene when it does take place. It will be strange, too, if it is not at'euded with some outbreak of violeuce. People at a distance, who have not been to Washington during the past year, can form no idea of the change that has been caused lure since the Abolitionists came into power. Runaway slaves, enticed away from their masters and their comfortable homes, rlock to the capital because they have heard that they will be free; their idea of freedom being freedom from work and plenty to eat. Tint is the negro's paradise, and it must be admitted that he finds it pietty often just now. At Fortress Monroe, at Port Royal, and at other I I ices wlieie we have opened the gates to them, they have rushed in and been fed and clothed at the expense of the (Jovernment (rither at the ex

Another states that the Union tir: were repu'sed, hut remained on the field of battle, and hail inflicted great t'aughter on the Conlederates. A th-rd account Utes that we had one man killed and fourteen wounded. How ridiculous all this U! The Government is in possession of all the fact, whatever they are, vet refuses to let them be known to its oc loyal subject, white at the very moment I write the rebels at Norfolk and of course at Richmond know all about the battle. Certain facts being known, however, the intelligent reader can draw from thern certain common ieuse conclusions. One fact is tbat Yoiktown is strongly fen :ified, and that MagTUder is not the man to yield the road to Richmox.d without a truggle. Another fact i that an artillery fight in a country like that around Yorktown could not Lave lafted all day without cociderable loss on both sides. It is pretty evident now that the hard work of the war is about to begin. The idea that there will be no more fight

ing, and that the war will be over by the 4th of

July, i delusive. The Uoion troops are enlisted for three jears, and they will have fighting enough to last them, as things look now, for a year to come at least. The rebels will have to go down at last; but they will put us to our mettle first.

Tlie l'rojjrc of the War. The tide of battle rolls on swiftly, and with greater and creater successes for the arms of the Union. Island No. 10 has yielded to the forces which have slow ly but surely reduced it, without loss on our fide, and while an immense amount of munitions of war are lost by the rebel army, the Mississippi is opened for an indefinite distance to the advance of our guuboats and transports. The fate of Memphis cannot be much longer delayed, and ths probability is that we shall hear within abrief space of time, that the victorious armies of the Union are advancing on the great cities of the South-West. The war has been a brief one indeed for such grand results already realized, and the next thirty days will add to the great list of victories. Reverses may occur at certain points, but in the main the work will gj

on Irom success to success. And this because T

of the overwhelming jower which the Union has brought to bear. It will be re-called, though it does not appear to be well remembered, that when the war begun, the universal sentiment of the North was in favor of organizing at once an army w hose magnificence and pow er should paralyze all resistance, and make blood unnecessary, this was and is the true method of settling a civil war. Instead of the varying fortunes of nearly eapual contestants, if one is so great and so strittig as to present to the other the hopelessness of resistance, not only will this end the war, but it will also end it in away which is much easier forgotten by the weaker party, than would b? al ternate victory anddeieat in battles. Put w e are sorry to see that many of those who counselled this policy last spiring have forgotten their counsels, and are now clamorous for fighting, anywhere and every where, and fierce iu denouncing the lon and patent labor which lias made our army invincible. The last two months, surely, have proved the wisdom of the other pdicy. To make an army required tine. It is not a rabble that a General want, nor even a great mass of willing', ache men. These are the material out of which to form an army, but they must have discipline, experience ana arms. In the accout already published from Yoiktown, it has been noticed that Pcrdan's Sharpshooters are occupying an honorable position. We note the fact that here is a regiment doing important service iu the present grand advance which has received its arms only since the close of winter. The vast jxtwer of the Union was latent, and needed to be put iu motion. It was the conception of great minds to he patient in organizing that power uutil the time for exercising it should be at hand, ami then to display it in overwhelming grandeur. The moment that the army, thus skilfully made up, began its demonstration., the military experiment was at once decided. It is vain for any lone in the South to attempt to withstand the overwhelming power of the Government, ami though here and there small bodies of men may attack and even overcome our troops under peculiar circumstances, yet the great tide of battle rolls backward on the South, and the armies of the rebellion are everywhere in full und swift ietre it. No man can conjecture where the decisive battle in Virinii will be fought, nor, indeed, whether the Southern armies will attempt to fight it at all. Resistance on their part seems to our eyes to be utterly futile, and a waste of life on hopeless battle fields will not add to their future pros pects of success. We are looking now- with as much anxiety for demonstrations of Union sentiment at the South, as for victories ot the Union arms. The conviction is in every Northern mind, as it soon mut be in every Southern, that the military trial has already resulted in the clear demonstration that the South can not make a successful revolution by an appeal to arms. This decided, will they give it up, or will they retire to mountain fastnesses? We look daily for the answer to this question by a division of sentiment in the South. There will be a grand difference of opinion there on some subjects before long, and w hether either party shall be for the Union or not, w e shall see a strong' party in favor of peace and against the madness of the leaders which would deolate the country they can not rule. It is very well for poverty stricken politicians to talk of burning houses, and cotton and barns, but farmers, and planter; aud house owners and substantial citizens hi general, will hardly be gulled by the old trick of the fox that had suffered in the trap. Men are reasonable, and utilitarianism, seeking always how to make the best of a thing, is characteristic of Americans. The appeal to arm was made a year ago. Surely they who appealed expected the appeal to to result in u decision of something. If it has not already, it will soon have resulted in establishing beyond caval, the superiority of Government over rebellion in phy sical force. Then it becomes the inhabitants of the seceded States to think calmly of the future, and it becomes us to offer them every assurance of the permanency of the old Union and Constitution. A'. Y.
