THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1862.

Our readers must not be surprised, now, if we
sometimes give them an erroneous interpretation of
the intelligence we get from America. Respecting,
for instance, the great battle of Pittsburg Landing
we have the most defective or contradictory accounts;
from General GRANT, on the Federal side, from
General BEAUREGARD for the Confederates, from
the Federal Government itself; and we have, too,
the complaints of the papers that they can get no
definite information from their own side. We can-
not feel quite sure that BEAUREGARD'S account is
not greatly exaggerated; but until the Washington
War-office can contradict it in terms more explicit
than they do we shall assume that BEAUREGARD
is nearest the truth. These are the vague terms in
which Mr. STANTON'S agent writes :
In reference to BEAUREGARD'S despatch, inquiries
have been made at the War Department, and we are
authorised to say that the report from Pittsburg Land-
ing, already given to the public, contradicts the report in
the Norfolk papers. All reports received at the War De-
partment confirm the statements that the enemy were
routed and pnrsned as far as the previous orders of Gene-
ral GRANT would permit, and the enemy are now shut up
in Corinth.
Now, till Mr. STANTON can tell ns something
more explicit about BEAUREGARD'S 10,000 prisoners
and 36 pieces of cannon, we shall believe that he
has got them.
On the other hand, the intelligence—so import-
ant that we waited for confirmation of it—that the
Federals had seized on a hundred miles of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, on each side of
Huntsville, in North Alabama, and thereby cut off
their enemies' communications, we now know to
be correct. Federal intelligence is detailed and
exact when it is to the advantage of Federals.
The reader can compare this despatch from the
General who accomplished this important success,
with the above statement of Mr. STANTON from
General GRANT'S despatches. It runs thus :

Head-quarters, Third Division,
Huntsville, April 11.
After a forced march of incredible difficulty, leaving
Fayetville yesterday at twelve noon, my advance guard
entered Huntsmille this morning at six o'clock. The city
was completely taken by surprise, no one having considered
the march practicable in tho time. We have captured
about 200 prisoners, 15 locomotives, and a large amount of
passenger and box platform cars, the telegraph apparatus
and office, and two Southern mails.

We have at last succeeded in cutting the great artery of
railway communication between the Southern States.

(Signed) 0. M. MITCHELL,
Brigadier-General Commanding.
Probably most readers will think it would be
credulity to rely on the former statement ; and in-
credulity not to believe this. Such is the conse-
quence of tampering with the Press and its corre-
spondents. It throws the public not on the good
faith of the journal, but on his own judgment as to
probabilities.

The little battle with the Merrimac, if battle it
can be called, left, at all events, the prizes of vic.
tory with her. She returned with three captured
ships, trophies of her prowess, while no defender of
the Federal property ventured to do anything but
fire long shots at her, none of which appear to have
struck her. When she did retire, it appeared
to be in consequence of a shell, from a very
large gun of her own, having exploded
in the gun's mouth, and having, therefore, it
was supposed, done some injury within the vessel.
The three captured ships were loaded, one with sut-
lers'goods, another with hay, and a third with beef.
The Naugatuck, iron-plated gunboat, got aground,
it is said. She professes that otherwise she would
have prevented the capture; which, indeed,
was actually made by the smaller gunboats
convoyed by the Merrimac. The French and Eng-
lish vessels lie near watching for a sight of the
second conflict between the Monitor and Merrimac,
but as yet in vain. One thing is certain, that the
Federals are bpi° means free from the fear that their
enemy may give them the slip, and take part in the
contest at Yorktown.
