Especial to l.1 the Memphis n 4 A 4hppeall
shloah has been fought, and has resulted in d
great victory for the Confederate arms. ss&g 81
The enemy have been driven tothe river, and
are now trying TO cross over on their transports,
under cover Of o heavy fire from their gunboats.
Gen. A. 8. Johnston was killed at al o'clock r.
n. While leading a. charge he was struck by q
ball and piece Of shell.
Gen. Prentiss has been captured He says they
had thirtyfye Thousand men in the field, and that
his division and Sherman's were the only ones en-
gagged. eeS a
they had eighteen batteries engaged -nostly
all captured by us.
Gen. Buell. had q portion of his force at Duck
river. M sF g
We have the enemy's camp and all their ammu.
milton, stores, etc.
The battle was very severe, and the loss heavy
Fighting 10 going on yet near the river, the ene-
my having retired.to their rifle pits, Gen. Polk is
in the advance fighting.
Wallace and Smith, commanded the Federal forces.
Gen. Smith was sick.
1t has been q glorious day for US. ErTE.
From the Avalanche of Tuesday We take the
following
,ssl,1 THE VICTORY.
We can scarcely forbear to speculate upon the
great results that are to flow from this decisive
victory, although time alone can demonstrate
them. 4 Z sS s$5s3 q ys$ 79sss s5B lsss
What is next to be done? II the force under
Beauregard be sufficient, an instant pursuit Of the
flying enemy should take place. Already do we
hear that Forrest, Scott and Morgan have crossed
the. river, with seven Thousand cavalry and are
hanging on the rear of the fngives. 1t be next to
an impossbility for Buell. to march his army back
to. Nashville and the straggeEs will hardly be
able to get into the Duck Riverareserve. What
are they to do for food !? The country through
which they have to pass cannot supply them.
True they have their boats up the river but they
cannot pass the Confederate battery At Big Bend
Shoals The whole Of Grants army which fought
at Shiloah must eventually pc taken, with their
boats, unless the latter are destroyed. Below the
/ battery the Federals= have three boats, but they
will not accommodate half OF fifth of the retreat
ing forces. The condition of the latter is des-
perate. .g9.t5 ~ a
Buell. is said to have $4,000 men, all told, and
cannot with safety make a stand. To retreat ia
almost as bad. He may make an attempt to reach
Nashville, where he has supplies, but is in danger
Should we get possession of o number Of the
enemys transports and gnnhoRts, what is to pre-
vent our dropping down upon Paaucah? The
enemy cannot remain whore he is, and to go back
is almost as dangerous, but go back he must. y A
division Of four Or Eve brigades might be advanced
to Hickman, and get above the gunboats and
forces Of the enemy, and prevent their ascending
the river again. The Federal army is in bad hx
all round. The campaign, 30 fruitful OF promised
SUCCESS, is dashed in moment by this great vie
tory. The shock will be felt through every North
ern state. The Northwest will probably become
satisfied that 1t is sacrificing too much upon the
altar of Yankee avarice. The people will com-
plain and grow restiye under the burden of taxa
ton. More has been accomplished in the despe-
rate struggle of one day than the enemy can ever
again repair. If the knees of the cowardly mis-.
creant who holds court at Washington knocked
in terror, after Manassas they will sink from under
him when he hears from the rolling ridges of
Shoah. A. 4S .-t4 lse s-57
THE GREAT BATTLE.
We are under obligations to Rev. y. W. Rogers
for a graphic description Of the battle of Sunday
writtenin great haste.
We have heard that our prisoners will not vary
much from the first estimate 00--and the killed
wounded and missing Of the enemy will exfsea
that number. Our own loss is very great ~ es
pecially among the field officers. We arSnaeSssdu
