Strategy In talilr: Island No. 10.

The great feature of this meniorabsitge, jind tlie.itiimdiate cause of thegn at victory which followed, is (he trans-portation of the tour steam irs across thecountry lo ihe aid of Gen. Pope.

Whtn tiu place was invested. Col. Bis-se- ll

came acrcs the uecii i-- f iami whi;his funned by the bend of the river, in asinal. boat, the water being so high thati.avigatixi was perfectly ta.--y. with iheexceimon of the obstructions tCered bytree and undergrowth. .

He announced that Gn. Tope althoughbelow ibe enemy, and in a condition tocross and completely surround thtm, wasiu want of boats for that purpose, andcould make no movement until he wa3 putin possession of them. The enemy wereiii possession of the bend of the river.and ihere was no means of passing themwiih transports. . Col. Bissell announcedthat he was in readiness .to attempt thetask of liking thitn across the country.and arrangements were immediately madeto expedite the project. . .

. The steamers Vi. B.Terry and Trio,being of light draft, and drawing but SO

iuchesof water, were placed at his disposai; and the point lor entering thewoods was selected t the foot of IslandNo. 8. The difficulties of the work willbe understood when it i known that fora distance of over twelve miles ihe boatswere lobe transported ihrcugh a heavyforest, where the trees were uncommon-ly large and clos together, and' wherethe dense cotton-woo- d, undergrowth andcane-brak- e peculiar to this country grewin all its native luxuriance. There was!plenty of water, the river having over-flowed its banks to cf from fiveto fifteen feeC'and m 'many places muchdeeper. The tatk of clearing cut thetrees was one tb.it would have dismayeda stouter heart than Col, Bissell's, but forthe engineering experience and naturalingenuity which came lb his aid. He at-

tacked the primeval forest, and, in a fewhours, was buried from sight in its depths.Accompanied by a large detachment ofmen; in 'small boals and flatboats, armedwith long cross cut saws and axes, hemade fast work of it. The trees to becut were selected and chopped down.They w ere, however, as much in the wayas ever, as the stamps were still abovewater. An upright timber was then fast-ened to the stump, and to the top cf this,some six feet high,' was fastened an os-

cillating frame, swinging on a bolt, andextending four feet below the surface ofihe riverT The saw was'fastened to thisframe at the lower end, and, with a ropeextending each way, It was pulled backand forth until the tree was sawed cfF.

Iu this way the largeit trees succumbedand fell in a short time. Fifteen min-

utes usually conquered an ordinary tre,and half an hour was stifEc'ent for thegiants of the furist. The work was notdone then, however. The over-hangin- g

tree-ic-p- s were to be cut, to allow the up

PiTTsacRc, Va., via Ft. Henry,April 9, 0:20, A. M.

One of the greatest and bloodiest battles cf modern days has just closed, re-

sulting in the complete rout of the ene-

my, who attacked us at daylight on Sun-

day. The battle lasted without intermis-sion during the entire day, and was againrent wed on Monday and continued until4 o'clock, P. M., when the enemy com-

menced iheir retreat, and are still flyingtowards Corinth, pursued by a large forcecf cur cavalry.

The slaughter 01? both sides is immense.We have lost in killed, wounded and mis-

sing from 18,000 to 20,000. That of theenemy is estimated at from 35,000 to40,-C0- 0.

It is impossible in the present con-

fused state of affairs to ascertain anydetails; I therefore give ycu the best ac-

count possible, from observation, havingpassed through the" storm c! action duringthe two days that, it raged.

The fight was brought on by a body ofCOO of the Twenty-fift- h Missouri Regi-ment, of Gen. Prentiss' division, attack-ing the advance guards of the rebels,which were supposed to be the pickets ofthe enemy in frcnt of our camp.

The rebel? immediately advanced onGen. Prentiss' division on the left wingpouring volley after volley cf musketry,and riddling our camps with grape, can-

ister and shell.Our forces soon formed in. line and re-

turned their fire vigorously, and by thetioi we vfri picpsj-.'e- J to receive them,they had turned their heaviest fire 03 theleft and centre of Gen. Sherman's divi-

sion, and drove our men back from theircamps, and bring up a f esh force, cpenedfire on our left wing under General Mc-Cierna-

-

The fire was returned with terribleeffYoi and. determined spirit, by both in-taui- ry

and artillery, along the whole hue,lor a distance of over four miles. Gen.Ilurlbut's division was thrown forwafdto support the centre, when a desperateconllict ensued. The rebels were drivenlack with terrible slaughter, but soonrallied and drove our men back in turn.

From about nine o'clock.' the time jourcorrespondent arrived on the field, untilnight closed on the bloody scene,' therewas no determining the result of thestruggle. The rebe ls exhibited remark-abl- y

good generalship, at times engagingthe left with apparently their wnolestrength, then they would suddenly opena terrible and destructive fire on the rightor centre. . "Even our heaviest and most destructivefire on the enemy did not appear to dis-

courage their solid columns. The fire ofMajor Taylor's Chicago artillery rakedthem down in scorces. but tne smokewoidd no sooner be dispersed than thebreacbuwould again be filled. The moatdesperate firing took place late .in theafternoon. " '' ' .

The rebels knew if they did not suc-

ceed in whipping us that their chancesfor success would be extremely doubtful,as a portion of Gen. Butdl's force had bythi tune arrived "ii the oppoaite side ofthe river, and the other portion was com-

ing up the river from Savannah, Theybecame aware that we were being rein-forced, as they could see Gen. - Butirstroop.i from the river l ank, a short dis-

tance above us, on the left, to which pointthey had forced our left wing back so asoccupy fully two-thir- ds of our camp andwere fighting their way forward wiin adesperate degree of confidence in theireffort to drive us into the river, and atthe same time bravely engaged our right.Up to this time re had received no rein-forcements.. Gen. Lew. "Wallace failingto come to our support until the day wasover, having taken the wrong road fromCrump's Landing, and being without othertransports than those used for quarter-master and commissary stores, which weretoo heavily laden to ferry any considera-ble number of Gen. Buell's forces acrossthe river, those that v ere here havingbeen sent lo bring the troops from Savan-nah; we were contending against fear-ful odds, our force not exceeding thirty-eig- ht

thousand, while that of the enemy-wa- s

upwards of .ixty thousand. Our con-diti- on

al this moment was extremely crit-ical.

Large numbers of our men were panicstruck; others, worn out by hard fight-ing, with the average per centage ofskulkers, had struggled towards the river,and could not be rallied. Gen. Grantand staff, who had been recklessly ridingalong the lines during the day, amid thethe unceasing fctorm cf I ullets, grapeand ahell. uo-- rode from riizht to lett,inciting the men to stand firui until curreinforcements could cross the rivtr. .

About cn hour before dark a generalcancnade wa3 cpened upon the en?myfrom alcng cur whole line, v.ith a pjrp ?t-u- al

crack; cf musketry. Such a rear wasnever heard cn this continent.

For a short time the rebel 3 replied wi:hvigcr and effect, but their return shot3grew less frequent and destructive, whilecurs grew more rapid and mere terrible.The gunboats Lexington and Tyler, whichlay a short distance elf, kept raining shellon the rebel hordes. This last e fort wastoo much for the enemy, and ere dusk thetiring had nearly ceased, when nightcoming on. all the combatants res'.ed fromtheir awful work of blood and carnage.

Our men rested on their arms in theposition they had occupied a: the closeright, until the forces under Mnj. G-n- .

V alSace come up and took position on theright, and met Gen. Buciihj forces fromthe cpp.osite side, and Savannah beingnow convenient to the battle ground theentire right cf Gen. Nelscn'o divisionwas ordered to form on the right tiA the l

forces under Gen. Crittenden were or-

dered to his support early in the morning.

SECOND DAY'S BATTLE.Gen. Bueli having arrived on the pre-

vious evening, the ball was opened at day-light in the morning simultaneously, byGen. Nelsons, division on the left, andGen. Wallace's division on the t ight.

Gen. Nelson's force cpened a mostgalling fire, and advanced rapidly as therebels fell back. The fire soon becamegeneral along the whole line, and beganto tell with terrible effect upon the enemy.

- Generals McClernand, Sherman andHurlbut's men, though terribly jadedfrom the previous day's fighting, stillmaintained their honors won at Donelson,but the resistance of the rebels at allpoints was terrible, and worthy a betterrause. But thev were not enough forour undaunted bravery, and the dreadfuldestruction produced by our artillery,which was sweeping them away file chaffbefore the wind. But knowing that adefeat would be a death blow to theirhopes, and that their all depended uponthis great struggle, their generals stillurged them on ia the face of destruction,hoping by flanking us oa the right to turnthe tide cf battle. Their success wasagain for a time cheering, as they beganto gain ground, on our appearing to havebeen reinforced, but our left, under Gen.Nelson, was driving them forward withwonderful rapidity, and by 11 o'clock.Gen. Buell's force had succeeded in flank-

ing them, and capturing their hatteriesof ertilIery They however again ralliedon the left, an3 ed to the right;and forced themselves forward to anotherdesperate effort, but reinforcements fromGen. Wood and Gen. Thomas were com-

ing in, regiment after regiment, whichwere sent to Gen. Buell, who had againcommenced to drive the enemy,

About 3. P. M., Gen. Grant rode to theleft, where the fresh regiments had beenordered, and finding the rebels wavering,sent a portion of his body guard to thehead of each cf five regiments, and then,.- - w,t . Irl t: Ifuiucicu a viiutu ...... t.v.u, im hi . 1 .

leading as he 'brandished his sword andjwaved them on to the crowning victory,while cannon balls were falling like hsilaround him. The men followed with ashout that sounded above the roar anddin of artillery and the rebels fled in dis-

may from a destroying avalanche, andnever made another stand.

Gen. Buell follow ed the re treating reb-

els, driving them in spb'nded style, andby half past five o'clock, the whole rebelarmy was in full retreat to Corinth withour cavalry in hot pursuit, lut with whatsuccess is not known, they not having re-

turned up to this ho r.'We have taken a large amount of their

artillery, also a number of prisoners. Welost a "number of our forces, prisoners,yesterday, among whom is Gen. Prentiss.The number of our troops taken has notbeen ascertained, but it is reported atseveral hundred. Gen. Prentiss ia alsoreported wounded.

Arnonjr the killed on. the rebel sidewas the General-in-Chi- ef Albert SidneyJohnsson, who was struck by a cannonballon Sunday. Of this there is no doubtas the report is corroborated by severalrebel officers taken to-da- y. It is furtherreported that Beauregard had his armshot off this afternoon. Generals Bragg,Breckinridge and Jackson were com-

manding portions of the rebel forces.There has never been a parallel to the

gallantry and bearing of our officers,from th Commanding General to thelowest officer. Gen. Grant and staff werein the field rding along the lines in thethickest of the fire during the two daysof the battle, and all slept on the groundSunday night, .during a heavy rain. Onseveral occasions Gen. Grant got withinrange of the enemy's guns, and was dis-

covered and fired upon. Lieut. Col. Mc-pherson had his horse thot from underhim, when along side of. Gen. Grant.Capt. Carson was between Gen. Grantand your correspondent, when a cannonball took off his head and wounded ceveralothers.

Gen. Sherman had two horses killedunder him, and Gen. McClernand sharedlike danger, also Gen. Hurlbut, each ofwhom received bullet holes throngh theirclothes. Gen. BueJl remained with histroops during the entire day, and withGen. Crittenden and Gen. Nelson rodecontinually along the lines encouragingtheir men.

Our loss in officers is very heaey. It isimpossible at present to present theirmen.

Cairo, April 9.Our loss in killed and wounded is

estimated from 8,000 to 10,000; theenemy '8 about the same.

Rebel prisoners say Beauregardmade a speech upon entering the fight,saying he would "water his hcr&a in theTennessee liiver or in Hell! thefight before them was Hell unless suc-

cessful."He is reported mortally rounded,

and Gen, A. S. Johnston killed.Though our army was signally routedand driven back on Sunday, the suc-

cess of Monday was the greatest ofthe wur.

Gen. Sherman had four horses killedunder him, and a cannon ball throughIlls hat. Matter row began to lookgloomy enough. The enemy weredriving us before them atal! points.The Seventieth and Seventy-sevent- h

ing back in great numbers, many intheir panic even plunging in so as toreach the transports, and were keptoff only at the point of tne bayonet.Three regiment ccuhl not be rallied.When evening arrived it was foundthat we had been pushed back fromone to three miles; that upon the leftthe rebels were crowding down towardthe river, that Wallace's division, whichhad been relied upon to reinforce theright, had got off tac road and takena circuit of fifteen miles. At sixo'clock, however, the gunboat3 cameto our assistance, and contributed verymaterially towards changing the for-th- e

right, and Polk the left,' of therebel advance. Their charges werefive or six regiments deep.

General Smith was unable to com-

On Monday Gen. Lew. Wallace didgood work with his division on theright of our lines.

Latest News and Further Particulars.The-entire.- . particulars of the en-

gagement, so far as learded,are brief- -

ly these :On Saturday the whole forces at

Pittsburg, Savannah and Crump'sXanding were 75,000, including sick,about 50,000 being fit for service.

The ball opened Sunday norningbefore daylight by an attack uponPrentiss's division which was near thecenter, and thrown out aboutfive milesfrom the river. The command .ofPrentiss, instead of falling back andcontracting their lines, attempted tohold their ground against an opposingforce of 60,000. Of course the resultwas extremely disastrous. Prentissand two or three regiments were cap-tured. Towards noon there was a lullin the attack which was generally sup-posed to presage a retreat. GeneralGrant, lioweve, thought the indicat-ion." were ominous, and prepared toreceive a fresli attack.

Accordingly it was not long beforethe enemy renewed the attack upontunes of the engagement. At sixo'clock the Tyler, under the able com-

mand of Cay tain Gwynn, took positionabout the middle of the river oppositethe groagc, and commenced throwingeight inch shell, and shrapnell fromthe hoitzer, and continued at irregularintervals, averaging five minutes, untildark, and from nine until one, at in-

tervals of ten minutes, when the Lex-ington relieved her, shelling the enemy at intervals of fifteen minutes,until morning. Their position couldonly be determined bv the dischargeof musketry upon our left flank; butas their troops were massed here ingreat numbers, the execution was ef-

fective.Before the struggle of Monday Gen.

Grant determined to assume the offen-sive, and commenced the attack withthe assistance of 30,000 fresh troops.(Buell arrived at 12 o'clock Sunday,but his forces could not be gotten up.)The struggle was obstinate and des-perate, the rebels only yiehlinggroundinch by inch, and not fairly retreatingtill about o o'clock in the afternoon.

The battle of Monday, aa far asappears, was maintained on either sideby simple hard fighting, without feintor maneuvre. As I have before men-tioned, the most obstinate single en-

counter took place between Gen. NeNson's brigade on the extreme left andthe enemy's battery. The retreat ofthe rebels was made in good order,without a continued pursuit from ourforces. The whole history of the en-

gagement, however, p'ainly shows thatthe enemy had determinsd to ma-k- aWaterloo of it the terrible dash ofSunday nearly annihilating U3 thedesperate character of the final strug-gle Monday indicate it.

To-da- y a rebel ofHcer,'with a flag oftruce, came in with a dispatch fromBeauregard, saying that "in conse-quence of our reinforcements, he hadkeemed it best to retire to Corinth,and desired to bring in h'u dead."(This is authentic.) This paper wasissued by Beauregard instead of John-ston, which could hardly have beendone had the latter been living. Theroads are in an awful condition, whichwill retard the forward movement for ashort time.

If you would have your ca'tle come outwell ir the spring, see that they are wellhoused in the winter.

All returned to New Madridin safety, delighted with their excursion.

This morning the gunboats Caron-dele1"- ,

and Pittsburg proceeded by or-

At 11 o'clock, the First Division offour regimenr.3 infantry and one bat-

tery artillery, commanded by Gen.Paine, crossed the river, followed byGen. Stanley's division, then GeneralHamilton's and the cavalry divisionunder General Granger. The wholeoperation of crossing ths river in theface of the enemy, was a magnificentspectacle, and reflects great credit uponGen. Pope, whose energy and skillhave been severely taxed, but he hastriumphed. Within the next forty-eigh- t

Two gunboats and several trans-ports are lying alongside.

The effect of our bombshells is reported tremendous; some made holesin the ground, which, when measured,proved to be sixteen feet deep. Therebels had cellars .and holes in theground to take refuge in whenever wefired.
