of ravines and gorges, is capable of being for
tilted 10 an almost indefinite extent. The
position, however. is of no manner of use or
benefit, except TO dispute the navigation of the
river. 1t has no railroad communications,
and, as an army stationed there would have
to depend on tiie river exclusively for the
transportation OF supplies, it would not require
long to starve it out.
Memphis has been strongly fortified Ma
ture has done much for it in the way of de
fences The city is situated Immediately be-
low the mouth of Wolf River, ON the fourth
Chicasaw bluff, from thirty to forty feet above
high water mark. Extending III front is
beautiful terrace or esplanaie, nearly a thou
sand feet wide, forming glacis OF sufficient
compass to accommodate a large army facing
the landing. Heavy cannon have been mount
ed upon the most eligible sites about the city,
and the exposed portions generally strength
ened by skillful engineers.
But the same military necessity which re-
quired the evacuation of Bowling Green and
Nashville will in time compel the rebel troops
to withdraw from Memphis. 1t can be ap.
preached from the Tennessee River by two
lines of railroad. We look for its speedy oc-
cupatinn by federal troops, but not until after
one bloody and hotly contested battle.

rHERArrLE OFPEA RIDGE.

RoLLA, Mo, March 16.-The remains of
Col Hendricks, of the twenty-ninth Indiana
regiment, killed at the battle of Pea Ridge,
Ark, arrived here yesterday, accompanied by
his brother and two or three other gentlemen.
They left the battle ground the Monday fol-
lowing the fight.
They represent the contest as terrible. The
rebels fought desperately, using stone in their
cannon when their shot gave out. Their force
is stated at 35 900, including 2200 Indians un-
der Albert Pike. AS near as could be ascer-
tanned our loss was 600 killed and from 500 TO
1000 wounded.
The rebel surgeons who came to dress the
wounds Of their fallen men acknowledge a
loss OF eleven hundred killed and from twenty
five hundred to three thousand wounded. We
took sixteen hundred prisoners aud thirteen
pieces of cannon, ten OF which were captured
by Gen. Slege's command and three by Col.
Pattersons brigade. Two of our cannon, be-
longing to DIvison's battery, were taken by
the rebels, but were recaptuTed by our troops.
The rebels were completely defeated, one
division under Gen. Price flying in one direc.
ton. and the other under Gen. VanDOrn taxi
ing another. Major Herbert OF one Of the
Louisiana regiments, who was taken prisoner,
says that Gen. Frost OF camp jackson notori'
ETY. was killed.
