A Pleasing Invitation.

A female correspondent of the Memphis
Appeal thus throws down the glove to
Andy johnson !:
Andrew johnson has accepted the posi-
ton of Military Governor of Tennessee. The
Yankees think there is peculiar fitness in
this appointment. So think we. We pre-.
fer they send US Andrew johnson to any
man in the world, unless it be Emerson
Etheridge. Let us be content with Andy
and return dutiful thanks to Abraham for
all such favors. Our purpose in mention
ing this matter is to extend to the Military
Governor an invitation from the women OF
Memphis to visit our city. From our
hearts we hope be may come, and when be
comes, when Tennessee soil is dishonored by
the tread of that bastard traitor, let him
beware. In her darkest days of oppression
France had her Charlotte Corday, and
when the dark days fall upon Tennessee, her
men may be beyond her borders fighting in
the ranks of freemen, but her women will
be left. Let Andrew johnson beware. He
may find Corday in every woman he
meets; he may expect at every corner, 10
every crowd, the ball that is to send him to
bis Makers presence, unsbrived Of his odious
crimes. HE WIFE OF A SOLDIER.

200 REBELS KILLED.

Correspondence Missouri Republican ]
APACHE GLEN, New Mexico, between
Santa Fe and Fort Union, March 3d.
Since 1 wrote you last Colonel Slough's
command, 1900 strong, have advanced to
Hogan's rancho, twenty five miles north of
Santa Fe, where they encountered the enc
my, strength unknown, and Immediately
engaged them.
Major Crittenden, 1st California Volun.
teers, and two companies of infantry under
Captain Lewis, were sent across the MAR
to fall upon their rear. Colonel Slough,
according to programme, gave way gradu
ally, which left the supply train of the
rebels unsupported, which Major Crittenden
and Captain Lewis easily captured, together
with about fifty loaded wagons, which were
burned.
Twenty prisoners and howitzer, taken
from US at Fort Craig, was spiked by our
troops.
Col. Slough's command then fell back to
strong position.
Our trophies are 100 prisoners, privates
and officers, so loaded wagons burned, one
piece of artillery of the enemy spiked, from
100 to 200 killed and woun1ed, one major,
two captains, &c.
Our loss is light. Among the killed was
Lieut.. Baker, Colorado Volunteers, and 80
or 40 wounded.
1t is supposed that the rebel Gen. Sibley
will advance upon Col. Slough's column
with bis entire force, from 1000 to 5000
strong, and that Col. Slough will fall back
upon the trenches at Depot UnioL.
At last accounts Colonel Candy had not
left Fort Craig with Colonel Slough's
command.
1t is believed be can hold Fort Union
against any force the rebels can bring
against it. The whole command engaged
on our side behaved with signal gallantry
and GOODNESS, both volunteers and regu-
lars.
P. S.-March 3lst--Seventy. five pris-
oners, with eleven officers of the rebel army,
have just passed under escort, and will ar
rive at Fort Union tonight or early in the
morning.
Colonel Slough's entire command has
fallen back to BENGAL Springs, A miles
from Fort Union, and within supporting
distance.

FROM YORKTOWN.

FORTRESS MONROE, April 17.-Today
has been the warmest of the season. Thus
far the weather and the tide are most ia.
vorable for the appearance OF the Merri-
mac but nothing unusual has been seen in
the direction of Sewall's Point.
At Yorktown firing took place during
last night aud this morning, without produs
cling much effect on either side. Some six
or eight of our men were killed during that
time, all but one of whom it is reported
were in General Sedgewick's division.
BALTIMORE, April 18-The following is
from the special correspondent Of the
american
There are no indications of the reappear-
ance of the Merrimac.
The French Steamer Gassendi is still at
Norfolk awaiting the return of the French
Minister from Richmond, where it is pre-
sumed be has gone to ensure the safety of
the tobacco purchased by the French Gov
eminent.
At intervals last night and this morning
heavy cannonading could be heard in the
direction of Yorktown.
A party Of deserters who came into our
lines report the arrival OF JEFF Davis in the
rebel camp and it was understood he would
take command in the approaching battle.
They represent the enemy to be in great
force and the work of entrenching to be
progressing throughout the Peninsula.
Reinforcemsnts were constantly arriving
from Norfolk, Fredericksburg and even
North Carolina, and the rebel Generals
openly declared their intention to make this
the great battle of the war and the strong.
est conviction is expressed of a triumph
over the federal forces and driving them
from the peninsula.
There is almost constant skirmishing 90.
ing on by the riaemen and occasionally shot
and she'll are thrown with great rapidity.
There was quite heavy skirmish this
morning beyond Warwick Court House, en-
the james River. The enemy attempted
to turn our left flank.
The attack was made 10 quite heavy
force, but the enemy were repulsad after
brisk artillery duel. The loss of the enemy
is thought to have been quite heavy. We
lost a 'out dozen in killed and wounded.

New York, April ia letter from
Col. Barnes, of the Mass. 18th. at York<
town, received in Boston, states TINT the
number of the forces of the enemy is not so
large as has been reported, and does not
now exceed 10000 or $4,000 men.
Neither are their guns of as formidable
character as has generally been reported.
Col. Barnes further says our siege guns
have come, and before long they will be at
work upon the rebel breastworks. Gen.
Mcclellan, hear, is about ready to attack
the place, and when he commences the reb.
els will not hold out very long. Col.
Barnes is considered one of the best officers
in the service, many of the Generals under
whom he is serving having graduated at
West Point under bis Instructions.

Splendid victOry.

Important from the South wcst-AnothSr
Splendid victory.
The decisive battle fought by Mcclellan at
Antietam changed the tide of affairs, and vic
tory now attends us everywhere. We have
Just received news of another brilliant triumph
at Corinth, where Rosecrans, after two days
desperate fighting, completely defeated the
rebels under Price, Van Dorm and Lowell, cap
turing guns, prisoners and colors.
Our accounts Of this battle are by telegraph,
and necessarily meagre; bat our letter from
Jackson Tennessee, the headquarters of Major
General Grant. which we publish with the tele-
grams of the fight, will enable the public to
understand the affair more fully and see its
importance clearly. It appears that, under
the guidance of General Halleck, the
West has been reorganized, and the
arrangements had been nearly completed
when the rebels made the attack on
the strong position of General Rosecrans at
Corinth, where he had established his head
quarters after the battle of I-,-k-a, and, in
accordance with the new plan of operations,
General Grant had been on q visit to st. Louis
to consult with General Curtis, and had just
returned to Jackson, Tennessee. From that
central point he rearranged the Department of
the Southwest, assigning General Rosecrans to
the region of country around and near the old
battle ground of Shiloh.
The rebels under Price and Van Dorm had
been collecting large force in that vicinity,
made up partly Of Beauregard's old Corinth
army, Lovells troops brought away from New
Orleans, and the new conscripts. After their
defeat at I-u-k-a the rebels concentrated as
rapidly as possible all the forces they could
gather in that neighborhood, for the purpose of
striking sudden blow at Corinth, overwhelm-
ing Rosecrans, and securing that important
strategic point as base for future operations.
This they attempted on Friday last with forty
thousand men, but were utterly defeated and
routed.
This victory is very Important one just at
this juncturc Following up the triumphs at
South Mountain, Antieta;n aud I-u-k-a, and the
successful strategic movements Of Buell. and
Morgan in Kentucky, il will have greatly de-
morali2ing effect on Bragg's and Kirby Smith s
army in Kentucky. Hindman's forces in Ar
kansas, and Lees dispirtcd troops in Virginia.
Thus .hc tide IL turned Now, with half mil
lion OF fresh men in the field, what hope is there
for tic rebels! The President has given them
ninety days for reflection. Our generals, with
repeated blows will remind them Of The folly
OF remaining ia rebellion. Let us hope that a
sober second thought will come over the spirit
of the conservative portion OF the South, and
briug them to their senses in time to await
thenscpe- OF the amnesty promised in Mr.
Lincoln's emanc patton proclamation.

TUE WAR News AND THE TELEGRAPH IN Eu-
RopE.-Many complaints have been made, and
very justly, about the manner in which the tele-
graphic news concerning the war is published In
Europe. While in the main the facts ore stated
in the telegraphic reports of the English papers,
they are often so colored with q secession tone
that they become more like falsehood than
truth Though constrained to tell the broad
story of our battles nearly as they occurred, the
accounts are SO exaggerated as to incidents and
results rs to put construction upon them in
almost all cases favorable to the rebellion.
In the London Shipping Gazette-the organ
of Mr.. Lindsay, M P.-for instance, New York
despatch, via Cork, is published, recording the
second battle of Bull run. 1t is done up in this
style:--
Tho defeat OF the federal armies at Bull and Cen.
treyo was complete No estimate has been inado OF the
loss ife The Conicdcraes captured Large quantities
OF ammunition. stores and artillery.
Alexandria Ia Mod with tho dead and dying The
federacs remain OF the battle aclds
foderals had to leave their dead unburicd
And again.
The report circulated few hours prior to the depar
ture of Boston steamer that Stoncwal jackson was
in full possession o. Baltimore with 900 men, via
Ieesburg premature IL Is universally believed that
such is his intcntion &c, &c.
1t has been attempted to throw the blame OF
this style Of telcgraphing upon the telcsraphlc
agents on this side of the Atlantic or the teie-
graph operators on the other; but 1t Is not
the fault of either party. The fact Is that cor
rect reports arc furnished by them; but private
dispatches reach England by every steamer,
and IL Is from these that the tone of the regular
press dispatches is changed, to give the news
favorable turn for secession.

perceive that the committee to whom the resou-

In this renort considerable doubt of the success Of

on. correspondent in the Bahamas dating at
Nassau on the 26th ultimo) says that the sympa-
thy of the island population with the rebels was
as active as ever but the trade with the rebel
ports had declined in consequence of the activity
of the United States blockading feet. The An
glo-rebe shipping houses in Nassau. notwithstand'
ing their profits, were quarreling with each other.
There were few arrivals of contraband traders
from England. Some few individuals resident in
Nassau exhibited their secession feelings by in
dulging in petty insults to the United States Con-
sui.
BY the Jura off Cape Race, we learn that the
London Times and Post have already commenced
to sneer at the idea of Garibald taking service

assert that he should 60 to the South where mine
millions of people are fighting for the right to

The above named London journals are severe in
their comments against General Pope's qualiica-

The London Times thinks it good policy now
to hatter the people Of Canada, and it takes occa-
sion to do account of their charity subscrip-
tions for the distressed operatives Of Lancashire.

Mcclellan, in Maryland, had been just received in
England, and produced very good effect in favor
of the Union cause.
