" Shklbtville, Tens., April 7, 18G2. Dear Journal. I have a little time this

morning to " while away," ana as y. m. Juniper. Wiggins, Esoiajiaw,. on, the sick list, and I suppose unable to write you, I thought a few " thoughts " from my pen would bo" accpUbleandawWdlrily 1 pave seated myself to jot dowa" such 'matters connected with the regiment as It think would beof interest to your readers. The city (?) of Miirfreesboroj which we have just " evacuated," is neither prepos" Bessing or progressing, tmf,- on the other hand, decidedly u.non eat "-ing, if you wil1 allow the expression, the town, the houses, and for the moat, part the, people being at present in a shabby and filthy condition. Business houses, within whose walls, doubtless, for many years past, the only music beard has been that xT the " ring of the al mighty dollar," now. look deserted; the doors are closed, shutters up" and barred, windows broken in fact everything about the buildings betoken the ruin of the own ers, and the good Tor tan of bala aud swaU lowi, 'kni. " sichN ike." . Approaching the suburbs or tno city, one soon hnds nimseir in the very midst of the palatial residences of the full blood u Southrons," who, ia their w loyal honor,", have lied their homes at the approach of " us vandals," and Bought refuge in the " land of cotton," where, with my bigbest considerations of esteem and regard," I will leave them for the present, and proceed to subjects, if cot more distinguished, at least more important To do this, l will be obliged to shake filurtreeaboro s dust from my shoes, and at this, the city of chelby vine, perform the agreeable task.- ' " " : Our "entree ""was decidedly imposing, our brigade being composed of some of the finest regiments in the service, and, unlike our advent into the cities of Nashville and Murfreesboro, was greeted with the most unbounded enthusiasm. The " pike,"; on either Bide, was lined with. , men, women, children, -and -last fend least, - babies, who welcomed us a ; a. iaanner that would do credit to the loyaL people of Evansville. From almost every bouse the " glorious ensign of the Republic " streamed out on the evening air, and many a fervent '' God bless yon," could be heard amidst the eheers of our men proceeding from the fair lips of the brave-hearted ladies. The band of the 10th Ohio executed the national airs, in a manner highly credible to themselves, which added not a little to the enthusiasm of the citizens and " citayenne." On reaching the business part of tha -town, there is an ap pearance of trade, which; in times of peace, would not be expected in a town of such small dimensions. And all along the road to our present place of encampment, about three-fourths or a mile from the town, ev erybody seemed o be " at home," and " do ing well." Oa Ssi.ny,;Jiurig and old ,"bloods" with their fair an j wrinkled partners ame ont to witness the Dress Parade of the different regiments of tbe 17th brigade, in large numbers. - One of the "old men and I had quite a conversation, in the course of which ho informed me; tbat this county is, and always has been strong Union in spite of the efforts of !' chivalrous southrons " and the " high toned gentle mr.n," to " hound " them down. lie said aljo that the people in his opinion, would return to intix allegiance if the leaders of the rebellion could only be brought to punishment All of tbe spectators seomed witn out uiBuuiytis'-Bna ion, me ground as tbey said with the firm conviction that our Western boys never could be whipped. Now a word or. two about the town and our probable " length of stay ' '. and so On ana i nave nni3iiea. Shelby ville formerly was cut off from all communication with " the world," except by slave states, but within the past year or so, the citizens have laid a railroad track to connect with the Chattanoogo and Nashville Railroad, by which means they have opened communication and over which we receive onr subsistence stores. I know of no particular strategetic value attached to the place, and am therefore of the opinion mat our stay nere, win not De long. From hints i and conjectures, I rather think that we will lea vo hare for Northern Alabama perhaps to .take a part in the affair at Corinth. I have ju3t beard that Is land Jio. 10 is taken. Is it so f Send me a paper, occasionally, for strange ; as it may seem, it is aoout tne only medium through wnicn l ever near any reliable news. , ."Un, til Then " Vale. Adam J. Scoibb. P. S. bmce writing the above. I learn that all the regiments in the Division (icith tin exception qf the 42nd) have received marching orders and will leave to-morrow morning. Major Shanklin, with four companies, goes out oa picket duty this evening,; to be absent five or six days. A. S. Os thb Battle Fh"., kxab Pittsbukq, 1 : AprU 9, 1862. .os. jouexal : History will record today one of the most desperate conflicts In the annals of .timej . certainly the fiercest that ever happened on this continent. Donolson and Pea Ridge wUl ever be memor able ia American History, but the battle of Pittsburg willeclipao ia ferocity, dauntlefs courage, ' and " endurance all previous engagements. . The action commenced on the morning of the 6th at daybreak by com pletely surprising our w hole army. It is useless to deny the" fact 5 either toe had no pickets, . or they wero all ' taken prisoners. The first intimation of the enemy's advance was an auacK on our outside regiment, the 20th Illinois I believe. They (the enemy) were within one hundred yards of the camp when first seen by our troops.: ; The gallant Suckers promptly formed in line of battle and poured terrible volleys into the advancing foe "while' they slowly retired. Ail our other outside regiments were -anproacbed in the same manner and retired ia grod order, delivering a terrific fire as they fell back.: This continued at least one hour untll,the centre and . rear . came " pouring forward and, swutly lorming.in ranks of war."" i- - :- r 1 Our line soon formed and then the strug gle commenced . wita a rury and desperation which surpasses everything before witnessed . in i. America. Beauregard, Bragg, Johnson, and Polk, with the flower of the secveh army, (for they picked their meu ! and distributed to each a canteen full of j fire wbiskvlleiphlv thousand stronff'.atttrk- . . y " ea our right, left nud - center. Beaurtgsrd made the array a ppeeih in whica be promised to drive the-invaders into the Tennefuee river, and also told tlwim that he should command In person In prJer to Witness the disastrotia d.-feai f tlie Feds." These able Eweeh GenorKU were opposed on the 1st day byGraut, McCleroaDd.Sherman.and

Hurlbutj on the second "day by BiieU aad

Wiillace; with additional reinforcements. The rebel line extended some five miles on the first day and as they advanced with hideous yells and cheers out artillery and infantry fell ullenly back, sending them showers of shell and bullets and cheer for cheer. There was no panic, no retreating on our eida. We slowly retired ia good order, contestinff ' literally' every inch Ot CTOund."ouTeader3 may 'Imagine how fierce the conflict was, when, notwithstand ing cur surprise, the enemy only advanced two miles after, fighting from dayligut untu darkness-shrouded the Moody field, but could not close the combat ; During the nigh of the 6th our heavy guns played on the enemy with great efficiency, while the entire army anxiously awaited daylight, to Degtn again tne snuggle. In additioa to the solemn boom of our guns, frequent peals of thunder and vivid flashes of lightning illnmined the gory field and lent a ghastly visage to our dead. One of the most violent thunder storms ever known gave Ita horrors to the scene, completely drenching the whole army. Daylight finally appeared and both armies, within two hundred yards of each other, caught up their arms and eagerly sprung again to tbe conflict We had been reinforced during the nignt Dy aoout ten thousand men under Buell and Wallace. The enemy had also received some twenty thousand reinforcements. The battle now became a question of pluek and endurance, and was commenced by our rignt wing. The enemy "had worked all night in throwing up two'milea of log breastworks aloag our centre. This was charged by our force at right angles witn tne wors, ana it was worth ten years or Uie to see our gal lant boys charge. "Hoosiers," "Hawkeyes." and Suckers" came np splendidly and swept onto the secesli with a cheer and a yell which early foreshadowed our success,1. The cheer was taken up along our line "by the storm-drenched heroes, and you could see from the epammg eyes which spoke along our extensive front that the boys were . " going in to conquer or to die. The enemy fought bravely on the 7th, defending every foot they had gained and slowly retiring. At noon we had recovered all that we lost on the 6th and the enemy were rapidly retreating. At five o'clock their line was completely broken, and Veateh's brigade sent the "black horse" flying : after the skedadling secesh infantry. Darkness again closed onus and saved them from annihilation. " Then ouf triples sang trace, for the night clond had lowered , -The dentinal ttars eet their watch in the sky, And thouaanda taak, down cn the grouod overpowrtxi- -The wearj to aleop and the wonnded ta die." On the morning of the 8th the weary, worn-out boys again seized their arms and started in pursuit of the fugitives, and have succeeded in capturing a , few thousand prisoner?, the exact number I am at present unable to determine. This is a brief synopsis of our sixty hoars' fight I dare sot trespass on your space by relating i stances of gallantry, whethor of urigad regiments or individuals. One brigade and one regiment, however, particularly distinguished themselves, I refer to the 2nd brigade of the 4th division, CoL James C. Veatch commanding; and the 25th Indiana Regiment, Veateh's brigade, was one of the first ia action, and gave the enemy the first serious check. The brave Colonel was constantly with his men ; dauntless and cool, his commands ran along the front, inspiring hia men with confidence and courage. When two horses1 were shot from under bim he leisurely mounted a third, and bis voice rung out as cool as if oa review. He opposed Bragg with his solid columns of twelve thousand men, protected two bat-Vwt-'-w&rei yr&e'vuehry". 'Therrwdlriy Ve tiring, he psurod a continuous fire into the enemy for ten long hours. In an incessant fire he formed his line of battle four times, eliciting Gen. McClernand's thanks for bis masterly manoeuvres on tbe - field. The enemy were unable to outflank or surround him, and caused a prisoner to remark, "You ain't no Bull's Run fellahs shuah 1" He was ably supported by all the field officers of the brigade, especially by Col. Hall of tho 14th Illinois and the gallant Foster of the 25th .Indiana. Each of theso officers behaved with great courage, and cannot be too highly commended. All the company officers are entitled to praise ; more dauntless souls never drew a sword than Saltzman, Larking. Rheinlandsr and Walker, of the 25th Indiana. The fricnd3 of the 25th have reason to be proud of the gallantry of .1 J ii an i r- i. me oiu i wsnxy-nves. Tbe most gloomy part remaics to be told. I must mention the dead and dyinsr : for square of five miles the field is strewn with the heaps of dead and wounded friend and foe lyin side by side, in about equal numbers. Most of the deaths were caused by shots . la the bead, while the number of bayonet wouncs bear testimony to the ean gumary character of the conflict Veatch'a brigade suffered terribly, the loss not yet

Gentlemen of the Common Council : Having met for the purpose of assuming the trust delegated'to ua respectively, by our fellow-citteens, . I avail myself f4he opportunity thus presented, of submitting briefly a statement of the condition of the corporation l and of ; suggesting fpr your consideration - such -a -course -ef-pol icy as will in my opinion be advisable and cecea Bary in the management '- of the affairs of the city for the corporate year upon which we are about to enter. At tho commencement of the present fiscal vear the comr6.,eiat, manufacturing, and all other interests of the city wero greatly paralyzad by the unholy war lr.fo which the country had been forced by ita enemies. Every department of enterprise and industry was temporarily stricken down, and gloom and despondency were. almost universally nrevalent I am glad . to. be able to Bay that recent events warrant the belief tbat the terrible evils referred to are temporary. The . strong arm of oar Government ia beeianinar to be felt and feared, ; and the friends of constitutional liberty and republican institutions are permitted to - hope that the day is not far distant when treason will be suppressed and traitors punished, and when the industry trait enterprise of our community and the entire country will be permitted to occupy -their.' accustomed channels. - " Although Ttbe ordeal ihrcugS which we are passing may-result ia pecuniary loss to us as individuals, and as a municipal corporation, the end which we ec&fidently ex pect a Government restored to ita former splendor, a vindicated constitution, with the salutary lesson which rebels and traitors will have learned from their wickedness and folly, will more than compensate for all the evils that may be entailed npon the present generation, i My only excuse tor alluding to these matters of national concern is, because of their influence upon our municipal affairs, The amount of taxes necessary to be assessed in a new and growing city, is always burdensome : but when the labor and enter prise of tbe citizens is deprived of its usual and proper reward, as baa been the case during the past year, their means of paying ia diminished, and the burden increased in an equal ratio. For these reasons, your predecessors, in providing revenue for the year 1861 determined upon a diminished levy the rate for general parposes being but sixty cents upon one hundred dollars of value, against seventy-five cents for the previous year, and tbe aggregate amount of the annual taxes being only torty-tour thousand dollars against sixty-six thousand for the year i860. If the aggregate of the taxes assessed for the year 1861 had been equal to that of 1860, tbe revenue would have discharged all the current expenses, as well as the de ficit of the previous years, and all debts contracted previously and maturing within the year. But a consequence or the diminished levy of 1861, there is a deicit of sixen thousand thirty-two dollars and sixtyeight cents. , I present, with this communication statement of the receipts of the Treasurer from all sources during the year, amounting to the sum of $61,110 10, and a state ment of the amount of orders issued during the same time, amounting to the sum of $60,888 68, I present alao the annual re port of Soren Sorenson, Esq., Treasurer, for the year ending April 6, 1862, and refer you te my several reports of the 22nd of March, 1862, showing the condition of the special or sinking fund raised for tho pay ment of the interest and principal as it ma tures of the bonds of tho city, issued to the Evansville and Illinois Railroad Company. tbAJprxsentroJulition of, lhBT'tvVVlir' At the proper time I will prepare 1 sad submit estimates of the probable amount necessary to be raised during the present year, as well as estimates of tne probable revenue of tne city, from ordinary sources. Without waiting for these estimates, however, it is eafo to say that the call upon the Treasury during the present year will be greatly in excesa of those of any former year, and that the necessity for economy is urgent in the extreme. . - , 'j If we expect to administer the affairs of the city for the ensuing year with profit to our constituents, or with credit to ourselves tne utmost care and prudence will.be indis pensable. . it wm be impossible to under take any public improvement - chargeable upon the general revenue of the city. We must content ourselves with sueh tern non repairs to our streets and bridges as will render them safe and passable. Our se wera nave alt been carried forward to such points in tne aiuerent sections of the city, as will justify an entire suspension of work upon them for the present. And ; with reference to such improvements as are paid for by special assessment, aid not chargeable upon tne; general revenue oi tne city, I recom mend that none be undertaken, except sueh as cannot be dispensed with, or such cent real estate, chargeable with the ex pense of such Improvement, ; 1 ana endeavoring to ascertain tbe names and places of residence of the holders of the coupons belonging to bonds of the city issued to tbe E. I. & S. L. Railroad Compa ny, wna tne nope oi maKing an ; arrange ment postponing toe payment or a portion cf said conpons until next year. After bcjjuiring the desired . information, I will again call your attention to the subject ice amount oi tnese coupons now due and unpaid, exceeds the whole -amount of the general tax levy of 1861. 1 will confer with you from time to time upon an matters ciaimingyour attention, as they arise ; aad I will co-operate with you in furthering every, proper measure having la-view the welfare of our ednstitiifinH"VniI shall look to you for aid . and assistance in the discharge of the important and difficult duties of my office. Allow me to place upon record an ac knowledgment of the obligation ' which I owe to the people of Evansville for aain confiding to me so important a trust ; and let me hope, that our official intercourse may be pleasant, and that we may consider tne interests oi tne people, whose agents we are, as paramount to all personal or other minor considerations, and that at the close of our respective terms of office, we may Je found to have been worthy of the confidence reposed in U3 by our fellow-citizens.
