Wakts of the Saxxtabt Cosnnssios.—Oar
-delegation that has gone up the Tennessee on
BU-amer Black Eswk, telegraphed to-night for
an Immediate ecpply of coistoeteeb, bed sacks,
fiitktf. drawees A2?D kdibles. The heavy
requisitions made on ns hare about exhausted
ort supply, and we need immediate assistance.
We hoar there are four thousand sick at Savan
■*»h alone. We again sppcil to the prompt charity
of the public for Immediate aid in this ex'gcncy.
Fetdat Evekhto, 10 o'clock. ’
Ef Onr dispatches announce another
hiilliant exploit of Gen. Mitchell s column
in Alabama. Two Chicago regiments con
stitute a part of bis force —Turchin s
Zouaves and the Hecher German Yagers.
ggg-'The reply of Hon. E. B. Washburn
to the attack of Boscoe Conkling, on the
Committee on Contracts, will be found on
the third page of this morning’s ThibctnE.
The dispatch to the associated press gave
the remarks, but omitted Washburn’s caus
tic rejoinder. The debate was decidedly
.Sharp and personal on both sides, and it is
evident that the New Yorker did not
“make four times'' off of the Illinoisan in
his attempt, to screen rogues and plunder
ers. _
ONE MORE BBICADIEE.
The 009 th Brigadier—we confess cur m
abilityto keep the account of file —has
been nominated to the Senate. His name
is—well it is in the dispatches and we were
unacquainted with it before. He may be
worthv enough, but the trouble is that
with each new appointment, comes the
complaint that some other man, equally
meritorious, has been overlooked- For in
stance, half the Indian*- colonels have been
decorated with the stars, and how the In
dianapolis Journal finds fault that one
other is not promoted. In the present
state of our national finances why not
adopt the English plan of selling commis
missions. We should In that case at least
hear nothing about favoritism or of par
tialilv.
THE LOSSES SUMMED UP,
The official recapitulation of our losses
.in the battle of Shiloh, April C and 7, makes
a total of 13,7G3 killed, wounded and miss
ing, as follows; —killed, 1,735; wounded,
7.882 : missing, (prisoners) 3,956. This to
tal singularly agrees with the first rough •
■estimate of. a "loss of from 12,000t0 15,000.’
-Subsequently it was undertaken to write
down our loss, and some authorities (offi
cial or otherwise) got it as low as
2.500. It was also estimated at
first that the rebels had lost
from 20.000 to 25,000. They, too, have
since undertaken to write it down, and the
Memphis papers now put it at 4,000. But
.all accounts agree that the rebel killed _
and wounded strewed • the ground
thicker than our own, as the estimate
of Federal loss good we must be
lieve that the rebel loss is nearly as first
stated. In those two days, therefore, not
less tb™ 35.000 men on both sides were
put hors dv combat. It was an awful
victory.
A BATTLE AX SHILOH.
Our dispatches from Cairo, brief and uu
satlsfacUTv though they be, lead to no
other conclusion than that the great battle
of Shiloh—always impending since the
last —has now actually begun. The tele-
gram authorized for publication, and which ;
is given elsewhere, says: “ The news
- from Pittsburg is of ' the highest
“importance but may not be given
“to the public." Private advices are
in the same tenor, one dispatch warning us
(as a bint of the news coining) to be ready
to meet an unprecedented demand fur pa
pers. It must be, therefore, that the battle
is in progress, and that until its conclusion
the military censor has shut down on all
information concerning it. TVe shallknow
to-dny.
Of the situation at Pittsburg we may say
that since the arrival of Gen. Halleck the
affair? of the army have been full of prom
ise. The force on our side has been staled
at 100,000, which some people have deemed
too high. But whatever its strength it is
the largest Federal column in the field, and
the same may be said of the enemy. It is,
therefore, the great field fight of the war.
Since the former engagement each party
has been reinforced by a concentration of
troops. Gen. Pope ha? joined, on one side,
with SO,OOO men; and Gen. Lovell (from N.
Orleans) ha? added perhaps a? many to the j
other. Gen. Halleck had re-organized the
divisions of his army, and at last accounts
our front was considerably on the way to
ward Coiinth, with Lew "Wallace
forming Uie right wing at Purdy and
Gcr. Pope the left wing at some point
mere to the south, threatening the rear of
C\ rii:’h. I:: the reports of the second bai
lie, also, many new names will appear
of Griiends not engaged in the
first, nnuT.g th*-m George 11. Thomas,
Sherman ol Port Iloyal, Davies of ]
yew York, and Pab orson of Penn., all of'
whom had n hand in the earlier campaigns
of the East. The array of men and military
jroidus is more imposing here than
upon ary other occasion in our history.
It seems impossible, therefore, that any
untoward result shall attend our arms;
and we await the expected intelligence con
fident of a ■victory that shall forever estab
lish the integrity of the Union* The day
is at hand.
Capt. Gab Boock of the Oshkosh com- i

VOLUME XV
RiBEL VIEWS OF NEW
ORLEANS.
The Richmond Dispatch feels
“Particularly Jolly.”
BEADEEGA&D THE CENTRE
OP HOPE.
HE MUST LEAD 150,000 MEN
INTO THE NORTHWEST
[From the Richmond Dispatch, April 33.]
The fearful state of suspense in which, the
city existed for two or three days has at last
ended. New Orleans possession of this
enemy. It was emanated by General Lovell,
who has removed his forces to Camp Moore,
on the Jack son Railroad.
This is a heavy blow; ills useless to deny
it. But we were anticipating it, and the pub
lic mind had already become prepared for it
before the truth had been fnlly ascertained. It
is a heavy blow; but it is very far from being
a fatrl blow. We may expect to hear of dis
asters wherever the cnemj’s gunboats can be
brought to bear on all the points still iu our
possession. Give him all of them—every one
of them—and still he is as far from bis object
as he was this time last year. Hatteras fell,
Hilton Head fell, Roanoke Island fell, New
Orleans has fallen, but our great armies arc
still in the field. They have not fall
en—they have always beaten the enemy
wherever they have encountered him.
When thev shall have been beaten and dls-
I persed so that they cannot rally again, then it
may be time to feel gloomy about our pros
pects. Until that time shall have arrived it
were unmanly to less to think of
abandoning the cause. Even then the last
resource of a brave nation resolved not to be
enslaved, remains to us. We can even then,
as other nations have done before ns, resolve
ourselves into a guerilla force, composed of
the whole country, and fight the battle for
life or death' throughout a million of square
miles. But that lime is not come. They
have not beaten our armies in pitched battle,
nor do we believe they will ever do it. Beaure
gard, with a powerful force, is still the guard
ian of the Southwest. Johnston, with a force
still more powerful, faces McClellan at York
tovn. Stonewall Jackson presents an undaunt
ed front in the valley; our armies in Georgia and
South Carolina are unsubdued, and we con
tinue to hold our own in the Old North State.
The enemy has never been able to obtain an
I advantage over us, except by means of his
gunboats. Take him away from them, and
we can alwavs defeat him.
By the loss of New Orleans we are separated !
from West Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
Missouri. But many of the brave troops
from that side of tbe river are with us, and
those that arc there will still keep up the light,
in spite of their isolation. They will thus
constantly employ a large portion of the ene
my’s army, and serve as a powerful diversion
in our favor. If every seaboard to wn in the
Confederacy, and every river town which can
be reached'by gunboats, w ere in the possess
ion of the enemy to-morrow, it would not
have the slightest effect upon the issue of
tt,is contest. “It would not be so disastrous
as a defeat of Beauregard’s army, or give half
tin-same cause for despondency. Fortunate
iv, they took no prisoners; our troops re
main to reinforce Beauregard or to go else
where as they may be ordered.
■ Tbe event of this war is still as much mt ae
bends of our people as it was before the fall
of New Orleans. Having made himself master
of the river and seaboard towns, the enemy,
if he wish to conquer us, must come into the
interior. There he will have to beat ourarm
ics, wlthoutthe aid of his iron-clad boats, be
fore he boast of having subdued thecoun
try. In the meantime the occupation of so
many points must necessarily teud to the
■weakening of his strength upon those points
on which the grand issue is to be decided,
and thus far his success is scarcely a disadvan
tage to us. Let our countrymen Imitate the
firm and magnanimous conduct of our sires in
the Revolution, and we doubt not to see our
cause gloriously .triumphant, ■
[From the Norfolk Day Book, April 29 ]
Disasters to a brave people arc but the falls
of Antams, from which they rise with renewed
energies and a firmer purpose. We have
faith in our ultimate success; but should this
prove fallacious wc can remember the example
bl Suxastn —remember ami emulate it. Let us
put our bumble trust in God, and fight from
seaeoast to Interior, leaving monuments to
commemorate cur resolution upon every field.
Animated by this determination, whan say to
their boasts of conquest in the heroic language
of Wise, at Roanoke—Never, never, never.
[From the Petersburg Express, April 20.]
But there Is another aspect of. the matter I
still more cheering to the Confederates. The \
large and fine army which was assigned for the
dtjo'ce of 2\rtc (Means can now be united with
(he army at Corinth in time to assist in the great
rrork of driiing the Vandals out of Tennessee and
Xmtucky, and in a march across the Ohio —a
movement which, vre cannot doubt, will be
commenced and cairied through at booh as
the Tennessee, Cumberland and Ohio
Kivers become too low for gun boat
navigation. Then ■will be our op
portunity for striking a crushing blow that
will more than redeem all our losses. We
want to see a column of 150,000 Southern
troops led on by Beauregard through the
Northwestern, and another column of the
same strength through the Northera States
by Johnf-ton, so that whilst the Yankees are
taking our coast and river cities, we will be
sweeping tbclre; and then-we would see who
would suffer most and endure their suffer
ings longest. The Romans, in a memora
ble crisis, fonght the battles ol Italy In
Nntnidia, and thus drove their Carthagenlau
(almost) conquerors from their own cates.
Let ub fight the battles of the South upon
Northern soil. The capture of Philadelphia
or New York would be to us a guarantee of I
in thirty days upon our own terms.
Wc have 400,000 soldiers in the field, of whom
Napoleon, in the zenith of his glory, might
have been proud. They would move with
alacrity in the direction of Yankee land, if
the word was just given them from Rich
mond. Oh, that it may be given 1 as it ought
to have been twelve mouths ago. Besides this
huge army, which could easily support itself
in the enemy's country, we would have a re
ceive sufficiently powerful to protect ourvast
interior, comprising a compact and populous
territory between the Mississippi and Atlan
tic, equal In extent to that of France, Great
Britain and Ireland (leaving out half of Vir
and :■!! Kentucky and Tennessee), whilst
i,nr trans-Mississippi territory (leaving out
Missouri', comprises a still huger area. Tue
idea of a conquest of such a country Is pre*
jH>>ttrouslv absurd, and the fall of New Or
leans, although to be much lamented, docs
not put the invaders an inch nearer the con
summation of their accursed purpose. It
may, in the dispensation of Providence, turn
out to have been forusan advantageous event.
The ways of God are mysterious, aud he di
rects the affairs of men so as often to lead
them to consider au evuil calamitous which
afterwards proves ihe happiest that could
have occurred for their welfare. Wc have
long since u filed our mind” down to the be
lief,’ that if the cause of the South Is Divinely
favored, it will and most triumph. If not, It
will and must perish, were it supported by
millions of armed men and hundreds of iron
clad war vessels of the most powerful de
scription. So far,Jwc have had alternate suc
et-ssea and reverses which have not been de
cisive. Wc must fight on with a more terri
ble energy than we have done. We must now
concentrate our forces at fewer points, and
hurt them upon the foe. We must abandon
the merely defensive policy, and assume and
maintain it at all hazards the position of bel
ligerents, able to give as well as to receive
blows. With half a million of men prepared
and eager for action, we can make ourselves
felt beyond the limits of the Confederacy.
Colonel Crocker and major Cassidy, i
Opinions difier whether these gentlemen,
officers of the 93d New York Regiment, did
or did not desert to the rebels before York
town. Their regiment was in advance of Ca
sey’s brigade, across Warwick river, and with
Id 1,100 yards of a rebel battery. It seems
that on the evening cf the 2Sd ult,, after sap
per, these two officers walked out, and being
forbidden to pass one outer picket they turn
ed to another picket and went on. In a few
nannies hallooing was heard—the sign that
they were prisoners. The Albany Eoening
JovmtO. says:
14 No one who knows Col. Crocker his the
least suspicion of his loyalty; for few men
have lirmter cause to ba»r all rebeldom than
be. When the war broke out, hU father (over
seventy years of age) lived with one of his
sons at Lewlnsburg, Virginia. The old gen
-11 < man was an intense Unionist, and persisted
in giving expression to his sentiments, and In
displaying the old flag, long after it was either
prudent or safe to do so. Alter the battle of
Lewinsburg, which was fought upon his farm,
be was arrested, barbarously treated, stripped
of his clothing, and sent off to Richmond a
prisoner—where he now is, if living. The
patriotism of a son, with, such motives for
entering the field, cannot be questioned. Bat,
is addition to this, he has two brothers in the
service, who, like himself; hate ail rebeldom,
as w ell for Its treason as for it* barbarity.
“‘And Major Cassidy was among the earliest
Vo offer hie services, and would be last to
voluntarily leave But both, as the
story stands, were Indiscreet, and will ba like
jv to suffer lor their indiscretion, even though
tney should both escape a rebel prison. -
HF There is a rumor that the New York
World, Which has gained no other living than
to eat up the substance of its backers as a

The Murderer Batzkr Arrerted at St.
Louie as aa Army Hone Contract
or-'Tli© Great Mystery Still unex
plained.
[From the St. Louie Democrat of yesterday.]
Ignalz Eatzky, the long sought for murder
er and robber ofSiglsmundTellner,haa at
last been arrested in this city, and will shortly
depart for New Jersey, to be tried for his aw
ful crime. The manner in which the arrest
resulted is interesting and instructive. Some
days aso Mrs. Susan Mcßearon, residing in
Franklin county, was waited upon by a man
t lying his name as 3. Teiber, and represented
imsclf as engaged in buying horses for the
Government. He bought of her a horse at
the stipulated price of $95, he paying $lO at
once, giving his note for the balance, and
promising to call soon and pay the remainder.
Finding that he failed to appear, she commu
nicated the facts to Police Chief Couzens, of
this city, who, perceiving that “Teiber” was
an imposter, instituted a search for him. It
was discovered that he resided, at pock
Spring, and thither a policeman was
sent to arrest him. The officer found him ab
sent, hut learned that he was in the habit of
frequenting a certain boarding-house on
Franklin avenue. “ Teiber” was there found
on last Monday morning, and was taken to the
Chiefs office. Upon seeing the prisoner,
Chief Couzens was instantly struck with his
resemblance to the picture and description of
Eatzky. The picture exhibited him in a mili
tary dress, and Capt. Couzens immediately
seized a soldier’s cap and put it upon “ Tei
ber,” and then made him put on a soldier’s
coah The resemblance was then ths more
striking.
The Police Chief caused “ Teiber’ a” picture
to be taken in spldler’s dress and without it,
and sent the copies to the New York Chief of
Police, who at once telegraphed back that the
man was doubtless Ratzky. Up to Wednes- 1
day forenoon, the fact that his real identity ;
was known had not been communicated to
the prisoner. He was then again- brought up
to the office of the Chief, who suddenly and
sharply addressed him with, “Eatzky! you’ve
got to go back to New York!” “ Mr. Teiber”
jairly sprang backward with surprise, and in
stantly exclaimed, “Tint’s my name; I’U go
back.” Having been thus startled into so
much of confession, he owned that he knew
Sigismund Fellner, and was the man whom
the police of the country had long been vainly
In search of. •
He has made, In German, a professed state
ment of the principal facts in his history, and
especially ot his connection with Fcllncr. The
nai native carefully avoids anything like a cou
iftssion of guilt, and Is, therefore, necessarily
rather incoherent, and exhibits some very
irregular features, Ratzky’s account of the
manner In which he became so intimate with
Fellner is quite unsatisfactory, and becomes
more so when* it Is remembered that he had
been intimate with Mrs. Marx prior to her
journey to Eurrpe. He also leaves us in the
dark as to the tenor of the conversations
between Fcllncr and the ladies, at
which he was repeatedly 'present. One
marvels that, since he so well remem
bers Ft-llner’s expression on the ferry
boat, on the night of Ms disappearance—
an expression of suicidal intent—-Ratzky re
mained so sccnpulously and closely in the
cabin and paid no attention to his friend.
Alto, why Katzky remained all next day at
home in the boarding house where Fellner’s
trunk was a»d contented himself with the
odd surmise that Fellner and Albertina had
gone to California. It is strange that
only the concern and activity of Mrs, Spen
cer should at last have taken him to the
house of Mrs. Max. where Mrs. Spencer’s
further and nndesired enterprise in the mat- ,
ter was put to rest by the present of a
shawl, afterwards of two dollars, and subse
quently of five hundred francs! His silence
as to the contents of Fellner’s trunk, and the
utterwant of disposition on the port of any
of them to identify the recovered body of
Fellner, speak most significant of guilt. Add
ed to these facts are the furtive disappearance
End concealment of Ratzky, the suicide of Al
bertine, and the attempted self-destruction of
her sister, together with the absence of aay
favorable explanation as to what become of
Fcllncr’s diamonds, aud the repeated false
hoods in which Eatzky has been detected since
his arrest.
From what wre can gather he has for some
months past been, engaged in Franklin
and adjoining counties, in buying or stealing,
and si’Ping horses —visiting Bt. Louis occa
sionally, and then residing Car in the suburbs.
The police of the city have at times obtained
evidence of his presence here, but were uua
ble to gain satisfactory indications of it,much
lees to get upon his track. We understand
that the several rewards offered for tvs c ip
ture now amount to the snug sum of So.OtKJ.
Wtdrcsday evening Police Chief Couzens
received a telegram of Supt. Kennedy of
the New York police, stating that the New
Jersey police had been notified of the arrest,
and that a deputation of them would at once
proceed, with the Governor’s requisition, to
St. Louis, to receive the prisoner.

“The Way to Fight Them*”
[From the Norfolk Day Book, April 2L]
The by Gen. Slagruder,
of lighting the Yankees whenever they appear,
without regard to numbers, is evidently
the true theory' of conducting the struggle
from this time. The enemy should not be
allowed to make a step forward without en
countering bloody evidence of the fixed and
unalterable purpose of our people to resist
the intolerable yoke of oppression so esnl
tlngly prepared for our subjutralion. Wails
of mourning must be brought home to every
huUM-bohl iu the North, and the returned car
cases oftheir dead will Instruct them, “ trum
pet* tongued,” oftheir fruitless attempt to foil
a people thoroughly bent on being free.

tailed for duty among the negro teamsters.
Two applications for compensation were
made to the Emancipation Commissioners of
the District yesterday for one slave each.
The roads along the Rappahannock and
Shenandoah valleys are almost impassible,

It has been determined to rc-coustitntc the
Department of Kansas, separating it from the
Department of Missouri and putting it under
a General directly responsible to the War
Department- The commander has not yet
been selected, but Gen. Blunt is for the pres
ent put in charge, Gen. Sturgis having been
ordered to Washington to give an account of
his doings. Gen. Denver is sent to New Mex
ico, and Gen. Mitchell is ordered out of the
State.
Secretary Welles has issued instructions to
the Flog Officers of blockading squadrons,
dated April 80tb, as follows:
The approach of the hot and sickly season upon
fhe Southern coast renders it imperative that
every precaution be used by officers commanding
vessels, to continue the present excellent sanitary
condition of their crews.
The large number of contrabands flocking to the
protection of the flag affords an opportunity to
provide in every department of the ship and to
prepare for boats’ crews, acclimated labor. Flag
Officers are therefore required to obtain the ser
vices of these persons for the country by enlisting
them freely in the Navy, with their own consent,
rating «iw»*n as boys at from eight to ten dollars a
month and one ration. Let monthly returns be
made of the number of this class of persons em
ployed on each vessel under your command.
Postmaster General Blair and Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy, Fox, went to Ft. Mouroc,

The Emancipation Commissioners refuse re*
porters permission to examine tlie petitions

is accorded the latter privilege, on condition
that no editorial criticism shall be made.
In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Trumbull failed
to get a vote on the confiscation measure.
Messrs. Doolittle, Wade, and Cullamcr made
characteristic speeches, and then Saulsbury of
Delaware, talked the question over till Monday
in a speech, reminding his hearers of anti-re
bellion days; with talk of nigger
equality, etc. He made a prophecy
that we would have more slaves in 1870
than in ISCO, if the hill passed and local State
Governments remained, because, while they
would reduce to bondage the confiscated, they
would also enslave all free negroes. He con
fessed that he would favor that policy in Del
aware if 5,000 more free negroes were to come
there. He declared that Delaware would never
again be represented in the House by a re
publican like Fisher.
* Mr. Fisher, at about the same time, in the
House, in reply to Mr. Sauisbury’s former
complaints about the arrest of white men iu
Delaware, gave a list of the persons arrested,
and showed why; adding that disloyal white
men are infinitely worse Ilian loyal blacks.
The House special Confiscation Committee
are ss one as regards the main question of
confiscation, and are by majority for emanci
pation. Messrs. Mallory of Ky., Koell of
Mo., and Steele of N. J., hold back from the
latter. Probably two bills, one effecting each
object, will be reported; but If a satisfactory
bill should come from the Senate first, it will
be taken up and passed to save time. Mr.
Trumbull has amended his bill slightly, in
conformity with the views «f the committee,
in order to secure its passage. It now pro
aides for the confiscation ot real and personal
property ol leading classes of rebels, the
emancipation of all their sUvea after a certain
lime, and a general confiscation after sixty
cays.

How Beauregard’* Dispatch was
Taken off at Huntsville—A very
Reasonable Explanation*
Cikcisxati, May 2.— The CommerdaTs
correspondent, with Gen. Mitchell’s army,
gives the following explanation of the nun
iitr in which Beauregard’s dispatch was taken
at Huntsville, The wires were broken at a

disnatch, already received at Huntsville, was
being prepared by the operator there to be
forwarded by locomotive to Cbattauoga, and
thence reported by telegraph to Richmond.
wh»nGen Mitchell surprised the town and
instantly seized the telegraph office. Gen.
' Mitchell himself solved tbe cypher after an
hour’s study. There, is no doubt as to the
genuineness of the dispatch.

Caibo, May 3.—On Tuesday CoL Dickey,
with a large force of cavalry, made a rccoin
nokfiaiice towards Purdy, ten miles north of
Corinth. Some lour miles this side he carge
upon a large force of rebel cavalry, who fled
in great disorder on the approach of onr
troops, who pursued them and took posses
sion Of the town. After destroying a loco
motive and two bridges, and taking several
prisoners, including a lieutenant, our force
retired. Subsequently General Lew. Wallace’s
division moved forward and took possession
of the town without opposition. We did not
'lose a man.
Previous to this exploit, the enemy’s left
flant had rested on Purdy.
Our mortar-boats below are firing on Port
Pillow at intervals of ten minutes. Commo
dore Foote is preparing for a general attack
on the rebel works on Tuesday. An attack
on onr fleet was expected from the rebel gua
boats, and their entire flotilla formed in
line, ef battle, but no demonstration
was made. The rebels reply to our mortars
at long rates, but without effect.
The river rose an inch in twenty-four hours.
The Illinois Central Railroad is running a fer-
ry-boat to Cash riVcr bridge, so that trains ar

The river is stationary, and eight inches

The news from Pittsburg is of the highest
importance, but its transmission over the
wires is prohibited.
The bombardment of Fort Pillow is contin-
utd by our mortars at shorter intervals. It
was generally believed that a simultaneous
attack would be made by the fleet before the
close of the week.
. Deserters say that the entire rebel gun-boat
fleet, under command of Hollins had arrived
at Fort Pillow, and would make an attack on
Com. Foot as soon us their preparations were
completed.
Memphis papers of the 29th ult. say that a
meeting held on the night previous had con
cluded to burn the city in case of the ap
proach of Federal troops.
The fall of New Orleans is referred to, but
no particulars are given.
Editoiials urgently call on the people to
reinforce Price, at Fort Pillow, as the only
hope of the salvation of the city.
Gov. Tates left here to-night for Pittsburg
■with the steamer Champion, fitted up to ac
commodate 400 wounded Illinois soldiers.
He also takes up a large quantity of sanitary

Battery No. 1, at the month of Wormley’s
Creek, and commanding the rebel water bat
terUsat Yorktown and Gloucester, opened
vesUrday upon the enemy’s shipping at a
range oi about two miles. The first snot,
which was followed in rapid succession by
others, caused the rebel vesselstobeata hasty
retreat out of range. No damage was sup
posed to be sustained by the enemy’s vessels,
as the range had not been obtained.
Tie guns were then directed towards the 1
worts at Yorktown and Gloucester, with the i
view of getting a reply. They were not long
kept waning, when the large pivot gun sta
tioned on the heights of Yorktown sent a
mf'fEen° , er which caused every one to jump
for the trenches. The fire was now kept up
quit e bristly for two hours from both sides,
with no damage, so far as we are concerned,
although some of their shells came too
close to make it pleasant. Some of onr shells
were seen to explode directly over the ene

lined with men. About sixty shots were fired
from our 100 and 200-ponnder Parrots during

We have just learned that the fire upon the
fort was opened a quarter before six o’clock
on Friday morning, and that the engagement
between the fort and the Federal batteries
was kept up until seven o’clock that evening,
when the fort became wholly untenable and
was surrendered as above stated. All the guns
ins de the fort opposite to the side attacked
wei e dismounted, and all but three of the guns
hrorirgupon the enemy’s batteries were also
dismounted. Tbe enemy’s central battery of
breaching guns was within 1,100 yards of the
fort. The risht and left flanking batteries
wore more distant.
It turns out that the report of fifteen of our
men having been killed in a scont some days

One man only was wounded and none were
killed, until Friday last, the day of the attack

The Commercial publishes passages of a let
ter from Gen. Grant, in reply to a letter in
forming bim of the natures of criticisms on
Lis management of the bailie of Pittsburg.
Gen. Grant sajs:
“I will go on and*do my dutytothe very
beet of my ability, without praise, and do all
X can to bring this war to a'speedy close. I
am not an aspirant for anything at the close
of the war. There is one thing I feel well as
sured of; that is, I have the confidence of
every brave man in my command. Those
who showed the white feather will do all in
I their power to attract attention from them-
I selves. I bad perhaps a dozen officers arrest
[ ed for cowardice in the first day’s figbt. These
men are necessarily my enemies. As to the
talk about a ‘surprise,’ here nothing could be
more false. If the enemy had sent us word
when and how they would attack, we could
not Lave been better prepared. Skirmishing
had been going on for two days between our
rcconnoitcring parlies and their advance. I
did not believe, however, they intended to
make a determined attack, but simply making
reconuolssances in force. My headquarters
were Savannah, though I usually spent the
day at Pittsburg. Troops were constantly ar
riving, to be assigned to brigades and divis
ions. All were ordered to report at Savau
hah, making it necessary to keep an office
ard some one there. I was also looking for
Gen. Buell to airivc, and it was important I
should have every arrangement complete for
bis speedy transit to this side of the river.”

FROM GES. MITCHELL’S COLUMN
Sharp Skirmish Sear Bridgeport.
OFFICIAL BEPOBT TO jHE WiH
DEPARTMENT.
To Hon. E. H- Stanton;
On yesterday the enemy, having cut our
wires, attacked during the night one of our
brigades. I deemed it my duty to head in
person the expedition against Bridgeport. I
started by a train of cars in the morning, fol
lowed by two additional companies of cavalry.
I found that our pickets had cogaged the
enemy’s pickets four miles from Bridgeport,
and after a sharp engagement, in which we
lost one killed, I drove them across a
stream, the railroad bridge of which I had pre
viously burned. „ ’ ,
"With four regiments of in urn try, two pieces
of artillery dragged by hand, and two compa
nies of cavalry,*'at Bridgeport, we advanced to
the burnt bridge and opened our fire upon the
enemy’s pickets on the other side, thus pro
ducing the impression that our advance would
be by the railroad. This accomplished, the
entire force was thrown across the country
about a mile and put on the road leading from
Stevenson to Bridgeport.
The middle column now advanced at a rap
id pace. Our scouts attacked those of the
enemy and forced them from the Bridgeport
road. We thus succeeded in making a com
plete surprise.
Immediately forming our Hue of battle on
the crest of a wooded bill, within 500 yards
ot the works, we constructed to defend the
bridge.
At our first fire the rebels broke and ran.
They attempted to blow up the main bridge,
but failed; then at+empted to fire the further
extremity, but the volunteers at my call posh
ed forward in the fire and saved the bridge.
From the island to the main shore we could
not save it. It is of small moment. Its length
is but 450 feet. . . - . , .
Prisoners report five regiments of infantry
and 1,600 cavalry stationed at the bridge.
This campaign is ended, and I now occupy
Huntsville in perfect security, while in ail
Alabama north of the Tennessee Riveriloats
no flag hut the old flag.
