flying at her stern After this exploit the ship went off,
but remained In sight at considerable distance II.

officers from Col Vance's own regiment had been of

ST. LOUIS April %.
From gentleman who left Memphis few
days after the battle of pittsburg, we learn
that the rebels putting both days together
still claim "A victory. Their claims rest on
the supposltion that more were killed, woun
ded and taken prisoners on the federal side
than on their own.
Our informant says that Gen Prentiss
made speech to his troops in Memphis, in
which he end"avored to modify their com.
plants in relation to their treatment, food,
&c. He told them that they would be soon
exchanged, and rallied them generally to keep
up good spirits. Gen. Prentss was in excel.
lent temper. He owned up to defeat on
Sunday, but said that the rebels were badly
whipped on Monday.
The prisoners were being sent to Richmond
Cur informant was in Huntsville when
Mitchell reached there with his division. --
The seizure OF that place was complete sur.
prise, and the occupation Of the railroad be
tween Decatur and Stevenson was:regarded
as the hardest blow the rebels had received.
The rebels were preparing 10 ma Ike "a dcs-
peratc stand AT Corinth and fresh tr oops were
constantly arriving at Memphis. When he
left. business at Memphis was almost entirely
stagnated, and the people generally seemed
to beheve that they are on the eve Of events
which would speedily decide the war.

Present Condition of Illinois Volunteers.

The volunteer regiments from Illinois, en-
bracing at first some 10000 names, have sus-
tanned loss Of at least 10000 in killed OF
disabled since recruiting was stopped, Ad
jutant General Fuller, in his report to Gov
Yates, last December, showed that while very
few Of our regiments had a maximum number,
many fell below the mnimam, and that the
average Of all would not, at that time, ex.
coed $50 men 10 Il regiment. Since Deccm.
Der, the Illinois volunteers have seen their
hardest service, at Pittsburg Landing, Fort
Donelson, Pea Ridge, &c, and their previous
defcicnce, not having been made up, under
an order Of the war department to cease re.
cruiting,) it now becomes Il serious question
what shall be done. There are regiments now
up the Tennessee who are unable to muster
more than 200 effective men. We believe
there are very.fcw Illinois regiments in Cen
Ilallecks column stronger than 200 men II
it be not the policy Of the general government
to permit these to be filled up--as there are
thousands at home ready TO fill them--our
own state administration will have no alter
native but to consolidate the fragments. The
casualties among officer, have more than kept
pace with the depletion Of the ranks, and it
will be comparatively easy, therefore, to
bring the regiments together, aud at the same
time make suitable rewards for yaor by the
