THE GREAT BATTLES.

we went to press last week just in season
to announce, without particulars, our grea,
and bloodless victory at Island No. 10, and
the great and bloody engagement at Pitts
burg Landing, Tennessee. The particulars
as gathered since reveal the Importance and
completeness of the first, and the desperation
and carnage of the latter.
Island No. 10 was besieged by Com Foote
and his fleet Of gunboats nearly three weeks
without very marked success and withou,
any loss OF consequence upon the side of the
Union arms. Gen Pope, with considerable
force, was stationed on the Missouri side Of
the river below Island 10, and his batteries
successfully prevented any rebel reinforce
ments from Memphis or down the river reach
ing the island, and the batteries on the ;.land
as successfully prevented Com Foote and
Gen Pope making juncture of their forces
Thus matters stood for nearly three weeks
until one dark night the steamer Caronde]et
run the gauntlet of the rebel batteries. and
though fired at by all the guns the enemy
'oo'o bring to bear upon her, she was not
