From P1ttsburg.

CINCINNATI, April Is The CONNER
cial has information from areliable man
who left the battle ground on Thurs
day evening. He estimates our loss in
killed twelve to fifteen hundred, wound
ed thirty-fv hundred to four thousand,
and missing twenty-five hundred. The
rebels lost more killed than we did, and
not SO many wounded. About one
thousand unwounded rebel prisoners
were taken, rnd about twelve hundred
wounded. Up to the time he left, twen-
ty-two hundred rebels had been buried.
Our troops retook on Monday all the
batteries lost on Sunday, and captured
twelve pieces from the enemy. The
rebels were SO coufdent in their ability
to hold our camps which they took on
Sunday, that, with single exception,
they did not destroy them.
GIN Tuesday Beauregard sent flag
of truce, requesting permission to bury
his dead, and saying that, sowing to the
heavy reinforcements you received on
Sunday night and Monday, and fatigue
of my men, I deemed it prudent to re-
tire and not renew the battle." The
permission was not granted. The bearer
of the flag admitted Beauregard re-
ceived a slight wound on the left arm.

The Ohio Troops at Pit,sburg Landing
From the Crisis.1

From the CrlSlS. zv,-t
We have excluded from our reports the des-
picable slander upon our Ohio Troops at the
awful battle of Pittsburgh Landing sent from
Chicago to the Cincinnati papers. We are
surprised that any Ohio paper would suffer
such ISLANDERS in their columns.
We know some of the regiments well, and
their brave officers included in this iibelous
charge of COW ardice. The author should be
hunted out and posted at every road crossing
in tie State as base villain. Regiments cut
up. and their officers killed, could not be ex
pected to stand their ground against odds.
We venture the assertion that the dirty au-
thor of this slander never ventured near
enough to danger to ascertain the truth OF
anything he may write .i...
Whatever may have been our misfortunes
in that bloody conflict, which has brought
sorrow and grief to many happy household,
they cannot be laid to the cowardice OF the
rank and file, and any man who would invent
such stuff deserves to have his scalp taken.
Let those who talk SO boastfully, and cry
cowardice, shoulder their muskets and &c
through a winter campaign of suffering and
deprivatiops, such as our soldiers have fol
m onths past and then into such a battle a:
that at Pittsburg Landing and let us see then
perform!
We have had about enough of this patriot
ism, and the public feeling will not stani
much more of it. Let the Black Republican
slanderers of our soldiers join the army a
once. 1t will do them good. They know ev
erything-they are posted on all military da
ty, and as for bravery, why every one knows
At more appropriate time, a little siftin
of the original causes of some OF our trou
bles in camp may not be amiss. 1t may b
traced to official headquarters.

IMPROVED HORSE STALLS.

The Germantown Telegraph contains
the following description of q new plan
for laying the floors of horse stalls. 1t
appears to be an excellent one: "It con-
sists in making the horse stall floor level
fore and aft, and with an obliquity of
three. quarters of an inch from each side
to the center of the floor, where there is
an opening made in the floor half an inch
wide aud SIX feet in length, or from a
line of the back stall posts towards the
the manger six feet The plank of the
floor is laid crosswise of the stall, the
plank being cut in two in the middle, and
so laid that the ends are half inch apart,
thus forming the opening which 1 have
described. This opening is provided for
dropping the urine directly through the
Aoor. instead OF allowing it to aow on the
floor from where it falls to the back end
of the floor of the stall, thus wetting the
greater portion of the floor, and when the
horse lies down, wetting his body and
clothing, and especially his tail; for there
is generally no provision made for con-
veying the urine farther than the rear oi
the stall.
II place q galvanized sheet iron urine
gutter under the opening in the floor
which has obliauity 10 itself, the maugel
; enc being two inches deep and the dis
charge end six inches deep. 1t discharges
into plank urine gutter six inches deeI
and ten inches wide, which runs along
behind the stalls under the floor, and i
carried by loose floor plank, which ma,
i. be taken up at pleasure and the quite
cleaned out. This gutter has goo'
# descent, so that the urine is discharged
9 from it, but some dirt and refuse will ge
Y into it through the narrow opening j
d the stall floor All the attention that N
d arrangement requires daily. is just t
It pass the fork tines through the slal in th
t, floor.
j. "Those who use my improvement sa
that the bedding will keep drier AID clear
O er for forty days than it will for four {
i. ordinarily arranged. The iron quite
/ costs 81, and the wooden gutter bebin
q the stalls and under the floor will co
