The Contest In the Southwest.

The impression derived frem the fullest &c.
counts of the battle at Pittsburg Landing yet
received is painful in many respects.
The first attack of the rebels was an almost
complete surprise of the divisions in the ad.
vance. and before many hours had elapsed
large number of our troops had been surrounded
aud made prisoners. Others fought with ener
gy aud success, but the field was for the time
lost, aud that part of the force which was left
in strength could only hold small belt along
the river, protected in part by the gunboats.-
The first day ended disastrously in consequence
of the surprise, the large losses in prisoners in
the divisions hUlding the advance, and The in
glorious rstresl Of few regiments, from causes
no, yet fully known.
The terrible risks Of this position. il is clear,
were not adequately provided fer, perhaps only
because they could not be Immediately covered.
A defeat to the entire column on the Ten
nessee could have been disaster of the most
frighiful character, involving the whole of Ten.
nessee if not a part of Kentucky in doubt for
weeks. and involving US 10 many sanguinary
conflicts. Even now there has been much lost
of Prentiss' and Sherman's divisions. The
strength remaining to the army at Pittsburg
Landing is undoubtedly sufficient to hold its
present position. but its power to advance may
be very much crippled for some days. FOrtu.
nateIy, The movement Of other columns in that
vicinity has been entirely free from disaster.
The triumph of Island No. 10 was such as to

tInnsl sklrmishing was going on, varied BY Oc'
casional artillery duels, Of more or less msgni'
tude. One of the latter. in which Grlftin's
Ba'tary took part, resulted in killing and
woundIng twentY-seyen rebels. The enemy's
position extends across the peninsula from York
town 10 Warwick, with, it is said, Gen. Lee in
command at the former, and Gen. Jos. E. john
ston at the latter pace. The rebel forces are
known to have been greatly augmented within
1wo or three days, several transports having
been seen to land troops near Yorktown, and
alss at Gloucester opposite, which has not, un.
til recently. been occupied by the rebels. Re.
Inducements have also been received from Nor
folk, by way of the James river. On Friday
the enemy made q sally from their works, but
were repulsed by q deadly shower of MIME
bullets, leaving on the ground number of dead
and Wounded. whom they were subsequently
allowed to remove in umbulances. Other skir

FREEDOM IN TRE DIsTRIcT.-Both Houses OF
Congress have declared that slavery shall no
longer exist in the District of Columbia-the
Senate by vote of 90 TO IA. and the House by
the equally decisive vote Of93 TO SO. The act
now only needs The Presidents signature to
become law.
The only members from the Slavehoding
States who voted for il were Messrs. Blair, Of
Missouri, and Fisher, of Delaware; and of the
thirty-nine votes against it, twcnty.two are
from The free States.
The President has approved the joint resou-
luton suggested by him, declaring that the
United States ought to cooperate with and at
ford pecuuiary aid to any State which may
adopt The gsdual sbolishment of slavery.

chester was began on Sunday morning. The
first Of these battles cost the rebels Kentusky !;
the second, the valley of Virginia; and the
third. the Mississippi Valley. The Merrimac.
too. after its destructive Saturdays raid, ran
muck against the Monitor on Sunday, and has
spent Ineulh in repairing damages. /.
Add To the facts. that most of The Generals
ia these battles, were slain ia them, or are in
disgrace, on account of them. and there is food
for reflection in these bits of history. What
has become of our Gen. Pierce, of Big Bethel
snemory! What of Gen. Stone. Where are
Zellicoffer and Sydney Johnston? ? In short,
since we have ceased the business of Sunday
lighting and the rebels took it np, we have had
only victories to record, and they only defeats
and surrenders. Fost Doneson and Island No
10 were our sunday morning benson on week
day prowess.
Nor are these isolated historical facts. His.
terry is full of them. The British forces as
sailed us 90 Lake ChampIaiu and New Orleans
on Sunday, and were defeated. We asssiled
them at Quebec our army was repulsed and
its leader slain. We began the battle of Mon.
mouth and had the worst OF it. Napoleon be.
gan the battle Of Waterloo. and lost his army
and his empire. The battle of Blenheim. which
has been repeatedly cited as successful Sunday
battle, was not fought On Sunday. but began
on Wednesday.
We content ourselves with the simple celia
tion Of these suggestive facts. Let them 90 to
swell that mighty volume of testimony to the
supremacy and stability of law as old as the
creation, which claims quite other use Of one.
seventh part of time than the work of willing
human butchery.

The siege of Yorktown.

We can well afford 20 take our time for the
capture OF this position, if il is defended, as we
trust it is. BY large force. We hope all the
military strength OF Virginia is concentrated
there. The western portion Of the State has
for long time been under our full control.
Gen. Banks, with strong column, is msving
down the Shenandoah Valley, the finest part
Of State. and from which the greater portions
Of the rebel supplies for the war have been
drawn. The loss Of this fertile productive re-
gion the rebels already admit to be great
calamity. Other movements will doubtless soon
threaten Richmond from the northwest. Two
columns are rapidly oyerrunaing the State,
while the great bulk of its forces is holding
Yorktown in its extreme eastern section. II
Gen. Mcclellan remains simply on The defen-
sive, the rebels must soon aba ndon their posi-.
ton, or they will be cut off from retreat 10

have already made good headwsy in dislodging

IRON ARKANsAs

81. Louis, April 14.-The correspondent of

that point force OF 1000 cavalry was said to
have taken the road North towards Huntsville.
1t was impossible to learn the destination of
these troops, but il is most probable that they
were bound for some point on the Mississippi
river, or for Jacksonport, Ark.
Il is also reported that the rebels at Pocs.

an hour she captured them and was towing
them towards Craney Island. The Merrimdc

eeution of one Of the most important work OF the
campaign. General Mitchell, on leaving NASH
Vile, went directly South, proceeding through
Murfreesboro. Shelbyville and Fayetteville,
Tennessee, into Madison county, Alabama.
The forced march of the advance guard, from
Fayetteville to Huntsville, was rapidly and
sklllfully managed. The distance in direct
line ls over forty miles, which the winding Of
road must have extended to nearly fifty. The
advance left Fayetteville on Thursday. April
10Th, at IL NJ, aud At 6 A. M. the next morn
ing entered Huntsville, to the great surprise Of
the inhabitants. Whatever rebel troops were
there escaped, except about two hundred, who
were taken prisoners The rebels, however,
were not quick enough to destroy the railroad.
or even TO hurry off the locomotives and cars Of
the great Memphis and Charleston Railroad,
which passes through the iowa. Fifteen loco.
motives and large number of passenger.
freight and platform cars were taken; the tel.
egraPhs Office and apparatus, the Post Office
and two SoutherR mails fell into our hands.
Any one that looks at the map will see that
this is an exploit of real practical value. The
Memphis aud Charleston Railroad has been the
chief means OF transporting troops and supplies
betweeR the East and West, since the capture
Of Nashville. The only mode now of commu.
nicatlng by railroad between Virginia and Mis-
slssipp, is by the roads running TO Mobile, and
we trust it will not be long before our troop,
on the Gulf coast will be able TO make an ad.
vance that will cut off even that connection.
