From Pittsburga

The special correspondent of the Chicago
Times, teesraphs from Cairo the flowing items
from the Mississippi river:
letter from az officer at Pitt burg says that
on Sunday morning. at the time OK the attack by
the reLels, party of Federal picsets were sur
prlsed in the act of playing cards.
The soldiers will not finch in tie coming bat
tie. They have all been under frs now, and this
constitutes the hardening process, Those who
retreated were raw recruits, who lind never been
within the sound OF a gun
There were at one time 10 900 q them hudded
on the river bank, whom blows, iersuasions, or
curses could not move.
An officer told me that, in his excitement and
Indignation he could have seen the artillery turned
upon the solid mass OF terror stricken humanity
without the least compassion.
Matters at Pittsbarg draw theif slow length
along without perceptible change We are grad
ually moving into the interior, Slowly but
surely advance and hold our.position. No
more Bull Run panics such as characterized
the fatal Sabbath, and let Us pray; no more such
slaugh,ers.
Recent intelligence from Corinti confirms pre-
viOusly received reports concerning the magni-
tude of the enemy's force and tie character OF
the effort he has made TO resist the.onward march
of the Federal army. a despe att stand will be
made there, and our people must te prepared to
hear of fearful Cecmation of our t.Oops
Gen. Halleck is cool and cautious and will
achieve success. The fight will cOine soon.
