A MuNlrlcENT PRESENT FROM Cox. VAN
DERB1Lr.-( ON. Vanderbilt has made Mr.. Lin
coin present Of his steamer Vanderbilt,
now lying at Hampton Roads, and has offer
ed to sell his next best steamer to the Govern
ment, IRON clad, at a price to be fixed by its
appraisers. In consideration of this generos-
ity of Com. Vanderbilt, his willingness to
carry the mails, and his contract with the
Overland Mail Company to carry newspa-
pers, the Conference committee on the Post
Office Appropriation bill struck out the Sec
ton requiring ocean steamers to carry news
papers under penalties, and the bill passed in
this shape. The bill as passed appropriates
$4,000 instead of 900 for carrying the
mails between San Francisco and Crescent
City.

the great power of Parrot guns. The pro-

every thing before them. This war has dem.
onstrated that "woodcn walls" and stone bar

When Gen. Mitchell reached Decatur, in
his late bridge burning expedition, he took
possession of the telegraph office and cut the
wires, leaving Decatur and Corinth only in
telegraphic communication. Beauregard sent
q message to President Davis, urgently de-
handing achievements for Corinth, and say
ing that otherwise he could not hold the po-
sition. Of course Gen Mitchell promised to
send the reinforcements.
-, An important movement has taken place,

probable, from the fact that Randolph was
originally the strongest fortified place between
Columbus and Memphis.
The steamer Musselman arrived to-day
from Pittsburgh Landing, having left that
of special importance, but . passenger reports
that the Tennessee has again commenced
rising rapidly, and that the roads in the vi
cinity of Pittsburgh are in wrctched condi-
ton, by reason Of . late fall of rain. Forage
can only be distributed by being carried on
the backs of mules, and. army wagons are
stuck fast in the mud.
In view of the present condition of the
roads around Plttsburg it is fair to infer that
the great battle which has been momentarily
expected the last week will not transpire in
week to come.
Our army at Pittsburg is in excellent fight
ing condition. The regiments that were so
frightfully dccimated at the late engagement
have been recognized, and, thanks to the
activity of Gen. Halleck, every division, brig
ade, regiment and company are prepared to
NEE, the enemy with an unbroken front.
Scouts went directly to the enemy's line,
and bring back intelligence that Beauregard,
who is chief in command, is actually engaged
in throwing up entertainments along his
whole line, planting batteries and preparing
for systematic defense. Their intelligence
may be deemed reliable, inasmuch as the
statements Of scouts are corroborated by
those of deserters. 1t is thought that the
rebels will act merely on the defensive, and
that the aggressive attack will be made by
Halleck, and that too at an early day as pos
sible.
1t is known that Beauregard has been
greatly reinforced, and that forced levies Of
troops are continually swelling his ranks.

the battle of Pittsburgh, in the Chicago TS.6sns
Of the 18th, are both alive, and. though wounded,
are doing we'll.
l have it from excellent authority, that
every charge against Gen. Grant will be shown
to be groundless, and that facts not generally
known tend to exculpate him from any blame
whatever. The charge, among others, that
he landed troops on the Pittsburg side Of the
river, contrary to the order OF Gen. Halleck,
is easily cleared up by the fact that the whole
Of the opposite side of the river was flooded
with at least three feet of water, making the
debarkation of troops on that side impossible
The impression is gaining ground that the
General not only acted prudently under the
circumstances, but conducted himself with
marked bravery throughout the battle.
Folr MoNaor, April 21.
A flag of truce was received to-day.
A Petersburg paper of to-day says that the
