NEW YORE, Aria 9.
(Per 'Warner Chins„ rid Queenstown.)
The following general summary of news is taken
from the New York Herald of April 9 :

The most prominent feature of our news today is the
surrender by the rebels of laird No. 10 to Commodore
Foote, which took place at midnight on the 7th. General
Pope crowed the river from New Madrid with his forces to
the Tenures Chore during the day in boats sent to him
through a canal out for the purpose. Ger& Pope has
captured 6,000 primates, including three rebel generals.
100 siege guns, several field batteries, large quantities of
small arms, testa, waggons, horses, and provisions. Not •
man wee lost on the Federal aide in achieving this surer
It is worthy of remark that as far back as the Bth of March
the New Orleans Delta boasted that General Beaungard had
put the island in an impregnable state of, defence spinet any
naval force that could be brought against it, and that the
evacuation of Columbus was regarded by them act only as
• military necessity but r • matter of little oonernema,
in view of the strong posher which Island No. 10 afforded
for defence of the Mirseippi and New Orleans.
Another brilliant victory for our army in the South-
wort has to be added to the tepture of Island No. 10. A
despatch from General Haller was received at the War
Department yesterday, announcing that the faces of
General Gnat at Pittsburg landing on the Tennessee river,
18 miles from Corinth, were ►ttackd on Sunday by an aver-
whelming body of rebels, who advanced from Corinth under
General Berregard, and that the latter were repulsed in
the utmost confusion. The battle lasted from early morn-
ing until late in the afternoon, when the rebels wire com-
pletely routed and fled, General Grant following them in
rapid pursuit. The lase in said to be very heavy oe both
sides. A private despatch from one of General Grant's staff
officers represents that it was the most desperate battle) of
the campaign.
Preparations were making at Yorktown yesterday to
attack the rebel batteries. A telegraph line has been com-
pleted to General Welellan's head-quarters, near Yorktown,
communicating with Fetters Monroe. The rebel batteries
abandoned at Ship Point prove to have been very formid•
able. The guns were removed, but the batteries remained
intact.
A despatch from General Wool to the War Department
states that at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Merrimac,
Jamestown, Yorktown, and four tugs were at Crary
lard.

The following special despatch, giving an account
of the battle at Corinth, has been received by the'
New York Herald:
- - -

Pittsburg, vie Fort Henry, April 9, 3.20 a.m.
One of the greatest and bloodiest battles of modern days
has just closed, resulting in the complete rout of the
enemy, who attacked us at daybreak on Sunday morning.
The battle lasted without intermission during the entire
day, and was a gain renewed on Monday morning, and conti-
nued undecided until four o'clock in the afternoon, when
the enemy commenced their retreat, and are still flying
towards Corinth, pursued by a large face of our cavalry.
The slaughter on both sides is immense. We have lost in
killed and wounded and miming from 18,000 to 20,000 ;
that of the enemy is estimated at from 36,000 to 40,000.
The fight was brought on by a body of 300 of the 25th
Missouri Regiment, of Gen. Prentise's division, attacking
the advanced guard of the rebel', which were supposed to
be the pickets of the enemy in front of our camps. The
rebels immediately advanced on General Prentira's division
on the left wing, pouring volley after volley of musketry,
and riddling our camps with grape, canister, and shell. Our
forces soon formed into line and returned the fire vigorously,
and by the time we were prepared to receive them had
turned their heaviest fire on the centre, Sherman's division,
and drove our men back from their camps, and bringing up
a fresh force opened fire on our left wing, under General
MoClernand. This fire was returned with terrible effect
and determined spirit by both artillery and infantry along
the whole line for a distance of over four mike.
General Hurlburt's division was thrown forward to sup-
port the centre, when a desperate conflict ensued. The
rebels were driven back with terrible slaughter, but soon
rallied and drove back our men in turn. From about nine
o'clock until night closed on the bloody scene there was no
determination of the result of the struggle. The rebels ex-
hibited remarkably good generalship ; at times engaging
the left with apparently their whole strength, they would
suddenly open a terrible and destructive fire on the right
or centre. Even our heaviest and most destructive fire
upon the enemy did not appear to discourage their solid
columns. The fire of Major Taylor's Chicago artillery
raked them down in scores, but the smoke would no sooner
be dispersed than the breach would again be filled.
The most desperate fighting took place late in the after-
noon. The relish knew that, if they did not succeed in
whipping us then, their chance* of success would be ex-
tremely doubtful, as a portion of General Buell's forces had
by this time arrived on the opposite side of the river, and
another portion was coming up the river from Savannah.
They became aware that we were being reinforced, as they
could see General Buell's troops from the river bank, a
short distance above us on the left, to which point they had
forced their way.
At five o'clock the rebels bad forced our left wing back,
so as to occupy fully two-thirds of our camp, and were
fighting their way forward with a desperate degree of con-
fidence in their efforts to drive us into the river, and at the
same time heavily engaged our right.
Up to this time we had received no reinforcements,
General Lew. Wallace falling to come to our support until
the day was over, having taken the wrong road front
Crump's landing, and being without other transports than
those need for quartermasters' and commissaries stores.
which were too heavily laden to ferry any considerable
number of General Buell's forces acmes the river, those
that were here having been sent to bring up the troops
from Savannah. We were therefore contesting against
fearful odds, our force not exceeding 38,000 men, while that
of the enemy was upwards of 60,000.
Our condition at this moment was extremely critical.
Large numbers of men panic struck, others worn out by
hard fighting, with the average percentage of skulkers, bad
draggled towards the river, and could not be rallied.
Gseend Grant and staff, who had been recklessly riding
along the lines during the entire day amid the uncessiag
storm of bullets, grape, and shell, now rode from right to
left, inciting the men to stand firm until our reinforcements

oould ernes the river.
Colonel Webster, chief of staff, immediately got into posi-
tion the heaviest pious of artillery, poitttiog on the enemy's
right, while a large number of the batteries were planted
slug the entire lino, from the river beck north-west to our
extreme right some two and a half miles distant. About an
hour before dusk a general cannonading wu opened up=
the enemy from along our whole line, with a perpetual
crack of musketry. Such a TOW of artillery war never beard
on this continent. For e. short time the rebels replied with
vigour and effect, but their return shots grew lees frequent
and destructive, while ours grew more rapid ►nd more
terrible.

The gunboats Lexington and Tyler, which lay a sheet
distance off, kept raining shell on the rebel hordes. Thin
last effort was too much for the enemy, and ere dusk had
sat in the firing had nearly eeased, when, night coming on,:
all the combatants rested from their awful work of blood
and carnage.
Our men retired on their arms in the position they had at
the close of the night, until the forces under Major• General
Wallace arrived, and took position on the right, and General
Baell'e tonne from the opposite side and Savannah now
being conveyed to the battle ground. The entire right of
General Nelson's division was ordered to form on the right,
and the forces under General Crittenden were ordered to hie
support early in the morning.
General Buell having arrived the previous evening,
the next morning the ball was opened at daylight,
simultaneously by General Nelson's division on the left and
by Major-Glesseral Wallace's division on the right. General
Nelson's division opened a most galling fire on the rebels,
and advanced rapidly as they fell back. The fire soon be•
came general along the whole line, and began to tell with
terrible effect on the enemy. General M'Clereand, Sher.
man, and Hurlbart'e men, though terribly jaded from the
previous day's fighting, still maintained their honours won
st Donaleon, but the resistance of the rebels at all points
was terrible, and worthy a better canoe.
Bat they were not enough for our undaunted bravery,.
and 'the dreadful desolation produced by our artillery, which
r wee sweeging them awa► like shall Woe*, swirl ➢era
knowing that a defeat here would be the death•liow to
their hopes, as all depended upon this great struggle, their
general still urged them on in the face of dortruetioa, hoping
by flanking us on the right to turn the tide of battle.
Their success was again for a time cheering, as they began
to gain ground on us, appearing to have been reinforced ;
but our left, under General Nelson, was driving them, and
with wonderful rapidity Oatmeal Boll's (moss had enoceeilled,
by eleven o'clock, in flanking them, and capturing their
batteries of artillery.
They, however, again rallied on the left, and recrossed,
and the right forced itself forward in another desperate
effort. But reinforeemeati from General Wood and General
Thomas were coming in, regiment after regiment, which
were sent to General Buell, who had again commenced •
to drive the enemy. About three o'clock in the
afternoon General Grant rode to the left, where the
fresh regiments had been ordered, and, finding the rebels
wavering, sent a portion of his body guard to the bead of
each of five regiments, and then ordered a charge across the
field, himself leading, as he brandished his sword sod
waved them on to the crowning victory, while cannon bale
wens falling like hail around him. The men followed with
a shout that sounded above the roar and din of the artillery,
and the rebels fled in dismay as from a destroying avalanche,
sod never made another stand.

General Buell followed the retreating rebels, during
them in splendid style, and by half-pest five o'clock the
whole rebel army was in full retreat to Coeinth, with our
cavalry in hot pursuit, with what further result is not
known, not having returned up to this hour.
We have taken a large amount of their artillery, and
also a number of prisoners. We hart a number of our
forces, taken prisoners yesterday, among whom is General
Prentiss. The number of our force taken has not been ascer-
tained. It is reported at several hundreds. General Prentiss
was also reported as being wounded. Among the killed on the
rebel side was their General-in-Chief, Albert Sydney John-
ston, who was struck by a cannon ball on the afternoon of
the 6th. Of this there is no doubt, as the report is corro-
borated by several rebel officers taken to-day. It is further
reported that General Beauregard has his arm shot off.
This afternoon Generals Bragg, Breckenridge, and Jack-
sob IMO commanding positions of the rebel forces. Then
has never been • parallel to the gallantry and bearing of oar

officers, from the commanding general to the lowest officer,
General Grant and staff were in the field, riding along
the lines in the thickest of the enemy's fire daring the entire
two days of the battle, and all dept on the ground on Sunday
eight during a heavy vain. On several occasions General
Grant got within range of the enemy's guns, and was dis-
covered and fired upon.
Lieutenant-colonel M'Pberson had his horse shot under
him when alongside of General Grant.
Captain Carson was between General Grant and your
correspondent when acannon-ball took off his head, and
killed and wounded several others. General Sherman bad
two home killed under him, and General M'Clernand shared
like dangers ; also General Halburt, sack of whom received
ballet-holes through their clothes.
General Buell remained with his troops daring the entire
day, and with General Crittenden and General Nelson rode
continually along the lines encouraging their men.

The following account of the first advance of the
Federal army on Yorktown has been published :
Before Yorktown, April 5, Evening.

Hon. Edwin H. Stanton, Secretor; of War.

That portion or the army of the Potomac recently concen-
trated at Old Point advanced yeeterday morning in the di-
rection of Yorktown, 24 miles distant. The right was u.
signed to General Morrill's brigade of General Porter's di-
vision, two companies of the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry and
• portion of Berdon's Sharpshooters acting as skirmishers.
Nothing of interest took place until their arrival at Big
Bethel, 12 miles distant, where they met the outer pickets
of the rebels. The troops were delayed here two hours in
reconstructing a bridge which had been destroyed.
The rebels retreated before theadvance of our skirmishers
to Howard's Creek, where they had some abandoned earth-
works. Four shots were fired here by the rebels from two
fleld.pieces, which wer soon silenced by the 4th Rhode
Island Battery, when the rebels beat &Imlay retreat, taking
their pieces with them.
The main body of the army here rested for the night,
while General Morrill's brigade advanced three miles to
Cookleville, and six miles from Yorktown, and there en-
camped.
By seven o'clock this morning the column was again in
motion, and at ten was in front of the enemy's works at
Yorktown.

The first shot fired was by the rebels, the shell passing
over the heads of General Porter and staff, without explod-
ing. The batteries of Griffin, 3rd and 4th Rhode Island,
sad sth Idassachusetts,were now placed in position, replying
to every shot sent by the rebels.
The cannonading continued with but slight intermission
until dark. About four hundred shots were fired by both
parties during the day.
The loss on our side was three killed and seven wounded.

The position of the rebels is a strong one. From present
indications their fortifications extend some two miles in
length, and mount heavy guns. The ground in front of
their heavier guns is low and swampy, making it utterly
impassable.
According to a despatch received in Mobile from
Memphis, 2,000 Union troops bad landed at Biloxi
from three vessels, and bad destroyed the telegraph
line between New Orleans and Mobile.

LONDON, warastuur, APRIL Z.

Tax Federal officers baring completed their
military preparations, are now in face of the
enemy. At present there are, in fact, two great
alma* operating against the South, but the dis-
tance between them is so enormous that they may
be considered separately.
lu the West the object of the Federalists is to
clear the Mississippi, and ultimately to obtain pos-
session of New t 'deans, at its month, and Mobile.
For this purpose there is • flotilla of gunboats,
under Commodore Foure„ and an army, under
Hese& Guar. Hitherto Commodore FINYTE had
not been able to get beyond the boundary of
Tennessee and Kentucky, for at that point stands,
Island No. 10. According to the accounts just re-'
mired this island has surrendered, the Federal'
haring taken 101) siege guns and 6,000 prisoners.
These numbers may possibly be exaggerated,
although we have no reason to suppose so ; but,
at all events, the river is now open as far as Mem.
plus, which Mends at the boundary line between

the state of Tennessee and the state of Mis-
sissippi. The result is, not only that the troops
engaged in the attack on the island will be able
to advance southward akng either bank, but that
these troops will be able to receive by water
ammunition and other supplies to any extent
which may be required.
It was stated some few days ago that General
Bea v ecia•no having taken the commando( the Con-
federates in the West, hail concentrated his army,
to the number of some 60,000 men, near Corinth.
This town is at the junction of the Memphis and
Charleston Railway and the Mobile and Ohio
Railway. So long as Corinth remained in the
hands of the Confederates there wag a possible
means of communication for the Confederates
along the Border States. But if Corinth should
fall into the Weida of the Federalists the line of
railway in this quarter would be closed, and the
only mode of railway communication would be
between Mobile and Charleston, many hundred
miles to the South. Corinth, in fact, is a strategical
point of great importance, and General BILVILLOARD
determined to defend it with all his power. But
his force, after having collected all the available
troop* from every direction, does not seem to
have exceeded 60,000. Now, he knew that there
was advancing against him an army of Fede-
ralists which would probably outnumber Ws. He
might, perhaps, succeed in defeating them in their
attack upon his entrenchments, but there was still
the possibility that, instead of attacking him in
front, they might get to his rear, and compel him
to retreat by cutting off his supplies. The question,
therefore, naturally occurred whether he could not
attack the Federal corps before they could
unite, according to the well-approved maxim
of the great NAPOLEON. And certainly the
position of the Federal forces in the first
week of April was such as to offer
powerful arguments in favour of some such
attempt. In the' first place, General Butter,
naafi probably knew that island No. 10 could not
hold out much longer, and that the capture of that
island would not only expose his flank and rear,
by giving the enemy posseuion of the Mississipp;,
bat would release a conankrable army to operate
in that direction. Moreover, litaensoien knew
that General ;RANT was collecting all the Federal
troupe in those regions and was advancing from
Nashville, so that within a few days, even if
island No. 10 still held out, he would be com-
pelled to fight a general action in his entrench-
ments, or be compelled to come out and fight in
order to prevent his position being turned. In
short, &battle was inevitable, and the real question
for BEAU aza.tau was to select the fit moment at
which the battle should be delivered. On Saturday,
the Zith of the island No. 10 still held out.
General Gnaws. with some 40,000 men had

advanced to within 7,0 miles of Corinth, having
crowd the river T ,ssee, over which the only
means of communication was by boat. GZANT
then was quite separated from Rum., who was
advancing (nun Nashville in order to join
him. Thus Ca %NT.. army was not only divided
into several corps, but was separated by a broad
river without bridges. Cutler these circumstances
it is not difficult to anticipate the plan of an en-
terprising and skilful general like IleatAtecnian.
His plan was to crush the 40,000 men of Gamer
by making an overwhelming attack with his
GO,OOO, and then either to advance with conquer.
ing violence against the remainder, or to retire
within his entrenchuienbi at Corinth ant await
an attack. Accordingly, on Sunday morn-
ing, the 6th, IlEarßrilaan advanced with
his whole army against GRANT, who lay
elate upon the left bank of the Tennessee River,
and made a virrous attack. Both sides seem to
have fought with a desperate courage; and on
both aides the generals seem to have displayed'
considerable military skill. It is admitted oven
by the Federalists that BLit:IMAM, and his
officers handled their troops with admirable
promptitude anti decision. It is tolerably clear
jhat on the first flay the Confederates had gained
the alvantsv, and indeed unless she officers had
be..n aware that large reinforcements 1 ore at hand
they would prNbably have abandoned the field.
