a il may appear to you, according to their
own tale, nearly all Of them were pressed
into the service. Now and then we could
find one who was honest, and said he re-
ally volunteered. They were Of oil ages,
from over thirteen to sixty and upwards,
generally we'll clothed, but rather dirty,
/ suppose owing 10 an invasion Of their
sacred soii. Some few were very intel
ligent, but the mass Of them were very
ignorant.

to move SO must close. We left our
camp North of New Madrid at l r. N. Of
the 10th, and came down this far. We
are on our way to the sunny South, but it
is not sunny here, as it has been raining

Bible DIsTRIBuTIoN IN THE Army
and NAVY. - The New York Bible So
ciety has published in pamphlet extracts
from the thirty-eighth annual report Of
the society relative to the military distri-
button Of bibles and testaments. During
the past year from the 10th Of April,
when the first bible was given to the
New YORK Seventh regiment, the society
has not willingly suffered single sailor
or soldier to leave the city without tes-
lament. These books have been distri-
buted among l00, 900 men. compromising
one hundred and thirty nine regiments,
and 1868 volumes, costing sl9,O4l .67,
have been given away. In addition, dis
tributions have been made at the Navy
Yard and at the forts in this vicinity.

apparently thinking that it would be -
theirs to-day.
Col. futile commanded brigade, and
Lieut.. Col. Baker the regiment. Bnall's
troops had marched tan day and the last
night all night and came on board tired,
wet, and covered with mud. They had
no tents nor baggage Of any kind. having
been ordered sixteen miles from Savan-
nah, to leave wagons and knapsaeks and
take three days ration 10 Their hsyersanks- /
talked wirh great many on the boat and
they all appeared anxious for the fight.
They spent the night in the open field
under heavy rain with not even blanket
to cover them, and then went in to the
fight in the morning and noon. General
Buell. is unquestionably the hero of Pitts
burgh, and from what they say of his
management yesterday can go to bed and
forget more generalship in one nigh. than
Gen. Grant ever knew.

From the 18th Hin ois.

April ixtb, loox.
Mr.. EDITOR On last Monday, the
eth, we we're called up about 4o'clock A.
N. to get ready for march, and although
it was pouring down rain in torrents, we
had our breakfast and haversacks packed
with two days provisions and by IAN. the
column was in motion-the good and
trus,y 10th Illinois in front, and the 10th
next, followed by the 5lst and ed, the
whole command under Gen. Paine also
detachment Of Capt. Houghtalings light
artillery.
At New Madrid We all went on board
the transports that had made their way
down through the sloughs AS the gun
boats Carondolet and Pittsburgh had run
the blockade of Island No. 10, they led
off and silenced the rebel batteries on
shore We landed about FIVE or six miles
below New Madrid on the Kentucky
shore, aud soon the 10th and 10Th led off
on one Of the most rapid marches ever
made through such swamp of mud, wa
ter, logs, cane-brakes, &c. l said the 10th
and 18th led off, which is mistake the
rebels led of, followed by the 10th and
10th, for the 5lst and ed were soon left
so far in the rear that they did not over
take us until the next day. We overlook
five Of the ssbutternut breechesn in the
first mile, and from them we got infor-
nation that the rebels we're still ahead
Again we pushed on, the perspiration
oozing out at every pore. AL last we
heard the report of musketry in our ad.
vance, and then we thought that all our
hopes and aspirations were about to be re-.
realized. After chasing the rebels Of
Missouri for near ten months, we thought
now there was chance for fight. Coils.
Morgan aud Smith, by order Of General
Paine, soon formed their commands in
line of battle, but a returning scout in
formed US that again the rebels had eluded
us, and then the cursing Of the cowardly
rebels could be heard on all sides.
Three different times we formed in line
expecting each time to engage the ene-
my, and each time were disappointed, for
the rebels kept retreating to Tiptonville,
Tennessee, where they intended to make
q stand, as there they had battery and
two 32-pound siege guns and eighteen
pieces Of artillery. They made : STAN
pede instead Of stand on ope approach,
swearing vengeance upon us when they
could catch us but they did ut last make
. stand back Of town in cypress swamp,
1900 Of them coming in at one time un-
der escort, to make ..uncle Sam" pres
ent Of what few articles of war were in
their possession.
We remained at Tiptonville scouting
around. until Wednesday afternoon, and
in that time we got 1850 secesk, two
Generals, Mccall and CAN'T, and large
amount Of guns, cartridge boxes. provis-
!, ions, horses, and mules, and \ never ios;
i q man; 80 al can rejoice with us on GU.
good luck. as no Preside circle is broken.
The rebels retreated according to the rule
laid down in the bible, to-wit: "they cast
aside overweight and stripped themselves
for the race that was set before them,
SO they could run without let or hind
rance, for early in the march we began
to sec signs Of their retreat--6rst blan-
ket, then shirt, drawers, or pants now
