One of the great est buttles ol uiolern days, was fought at Pittsburgh L'tiliii. on the Tetinessee River, resulting in the complete rout of the Relx-ls, who attacked us about daylight on Sunday, the 6ih. The battle lusted, with out intermission, during the entire day, nnd whs re newed again on Monday, and Continued until 4 I'.M , when the enemy commenced to retre-it. and ar still flying towards Corinth, pursued by a large fores of our c valry. The slauithter on both sides is immense. We have lost, in killed, wounded and missing, report Bays, from eightceu to twenty thousand men that tf the enemy is estimated at from thirty-five to forty thousand. It is impts'ilile, at present, in the confused state of affairs, to uncertain any details. TheR-bels at times exhibited groat Generalship. Even our heaviest and most destructive fire did not seem to discourage the solid columns. The fire of Taylor's Chicago battery raked them down by fo res, but the smoke no sootier was Oii-pers-ed than the breech was found to be filled up. At nlxiut & o'clock, nti Sunday morning the Rebels had succeded in forcing our left wing so ns to occupy two-thirds of the field, nnd were lighting t Lei r way forward with a desperate degree of confidence in their etTorts to drive our forces into the river ; at the same time they heavily engaged our right. At this time, and previous to the arrival of Buell's divisions, our force did not exceed 33,000 men. con tending against a force of G0.IMH) tebels Large nunilxrs of our men were panic struck, ani otders completely worn out. The rebel Cor.imander-in-Chief, A. S. Johnson, was killed; and Beauregard had au arm nltot oil. The Federal Generals, S'lerman and Wsllace, of Illinois, were killed; and General Prentiss vas taken prisoner by the renels. The Hloodiest Hnttle of the Age. The battle of Piitburg Landing, Tenn . was the most bloody ami the most hotly c ntested that ever was fought on this Continent. It resulted in a com plete and thorough Union victory, but happily Tor the reputatiou of our arms and of the genuineness of the struggle we are engaged in, the enemy fought desperately, retrieving the character for bravery tbut they Inst at Fort Donelson, at Roauoke Island and Island Xn. 10. It was an open field hgh., more of the lbth Century order than anything that we have bad recorded in modern history. The iiQoibers of men engaged, and of the killed, are very probably exaggerated ; yet as the reports come entirtly through military sources the telegraph report irg nothing that military authorities have not autlioiizei! they may le accepted as far less exaggerated than is uual with first reports. At the Battle of Bull Run the forces were 83.000 (of whom but 1S.0-K) were en gaged) on the Union side, and 30,000 on the side of the Confederates. At this Pittsburg Lai. ding battle the reports make the forces on our side during Sun day 38,000, and on Monday, BuelPs reiatorceuients having arrived. SO.tMM) ; the Confederate forces must have been nt least (10,000. So that the w'tole number engaged vu M.mday was 140.01H)! Previous to the great battle our latest news from Corinth was to the evening of the 4th if April, on which d;iy 'JO, 000 infantry, with two pieses of artil lery nnd a large body of cavalry, made a recon-nui-ance in force toward the Tennessee river, Mum bled upon Gen. Gram's army, and after firing one round retiied with the lors of fifty risonurs and several dead Probably the object of that rvcou nnisance was gained however. The ene ny no doubt discovered what they wished to kuow that Buell's nrmy had not arrived, and that if they were to make any stand at or nhout Cu.'intli they must ei.uaze Grant nt once. They lost r.o time after they bad gained this information. At day break of Sunday, .Xpril Cth, (a week ytsterda,) the enemy advanced upon Grant's left wing. In :he gray light of the morning Gen. Prentiss mistook their advance guard for their pickets, and charge! upon them This brought on a general engagement, which raged with varying success throughout the day. The over whelming numbers of the enemy were threatening by 5 o'clock to force back our gallant imn into the riv er. They had driven back our left wiug, occupied fu'dy two thirds of our camp, ami wire thundering terribly on our right. But by an houi before d irk oor heaviest artillery was got in position and a can nonade opened along our whole line, which with the shells of our two gunboats, checked their growing advantage and brought them to a bait. By dark, the firing had nearly ceased, fur botli fiJta were ex hausted and nepded respite. Buell's 42,MX) arrived during the night. Monday morning our forces re opened fire an I the advance of the right and left wings simultaneously commenced. The enemy fought worthy of Aui:ricans and, by their desperate valor re entitled t ieuiselves to the respect of the gallant Union soldiers who were bound to conquer them. Inch by inch t'ley disputed the 6eld with our ever gaining troops. Once before 11 A. M , they seemed likely to flan s our right, but toon their left hud beeu turned, aid nor lut.g after their right legan to waver. Then Geu. Grant, nt 5 P. M , led ti v e regiments to the charge, from which, seeing the day hopelessly lost, the -inetny turned aud fled as from the avalanche." Tie latest dates are to the evening of Monday 7th, when the remnant of the rebel army was in lull retreat toward Corinth, with our cavalry upon their heels. From Coriuth, if they can re-.i ch there alive, the enemy m iy dash by railroad id to Memphis if Pope is not on the track before them but certainly down to either New Orleans or Mobile. There, perhaps, they may rally, nnd pushing b;ck to Jackson and the line of the Vicksburg and M irion railroad, make one more effort to resist the flod. When Bonaparte re entered Paris, after his Ru isian campaign and had to confess the loss of 125.000 slain, 132.000 dead from exposure, cold and disease, and l'J3,000 prisoners he began at once to raise, by conscription another army. Possibly there enough of Bonaparte in Beauregard to essay, by drafting, the gathering of an army to replace that which Johnson led, before New Orleans fails; but the men of the Southwest will be littie likely now to secoid his ambitious ends.
