commenced to drive the rebels. About 8 o.
clock p. M, Gen. Grant rode to the left where
fresh regiments had been ordered, and finding
the rebels to be wavering, he sent portion
of his body guard to the head of the five regi-
nents and then ordered a charge across the
field himself leading. The'cainon bi9fs were
falling like hail around hisa. The men follow
ed with shoEt that sounded above the roar
and din OF the artillery, and the rebels fed in
dismay and never made another stand. Gen.
Buell. followed the retreating rebels, driving
them in splendid style, and at half-past five p.
M, the whole rebel army was in full retreat
to Corinth, with our cavalry in hot pursuit.
We have taken large amount OF artillery,
and also number OF prisoners. We lost a
number of prisoners yesterday, among them
Gen. PrentiSS who is reported wounded. A
mong the killed on the rebel side is the Cen
eral- Chief, Gen. Albert Sydney johnson,
by cannon ball, on the afternoon of Sunday.
OF this there is no doubt, it is coweborated
by several rebel officers taken TODAY. 1t is
further reported that Beauregard had his arm
shot off. This afternoon Gems. Bragg, Polk,
Breckinridge and Jackson were commanding
the rebel forces. Gen. Grant and his staff
were in the field, and riding along the line in
the thickest of the enemies fire during the
entire two days. and all slept on the ground on
Sunday night during heavy rain. On sever
al occasions Gen. Grant got within rarge Of
fred upon. Lieut.. Col. Mcpherson had his
horse shet from ander him when along side of
Gen. Grant. Capt. Carson between Gen.
Grant and correspondent vixen cannon bali
took off his head, and wounded several others.
Gen. Sherlu IN had TIVE horses XII He'd under him.
Gen. kcC7eTnand shared like dangers. and also
Gen. Hurlburt, each receiving bullet holes
through their clothes. Gen. Buell. remained
with his troops during the entire day, and with
Gen. Crittenden and Gen. Nelson rode con-
tinuously along TIE dimes, encouraging the men.
There never has been parallel to the gallan-
try and beariag of our officers from the com
manding General to the lowest officers, The
lowest estimates place our loss in killed and
wounded at 5000, and ia prisoners from 5000
to 4 900. The rebel loss in killed and wound
ed was probably 10000. The rebels in their
retreat left covered with their dead
whom they had carried to the rear. They
destroyed the heavy sapply trains they had
brought up

REBEL ogrRaeEs.oN QUE BEAD.

The Committee on the conduct OF tire " ar
have beer taking testimony as to in6tgn mites
and outrages perpetrated upon oprr wounded
on the battlefield at Bull Rim, and sipon the
dead at Subsequent periods. The Testimony
is tull and reliable, and confirms all that has
been published. Several surgeons who were
taken prisoners, Capt. Ricketts,, and others,
have sworn to acts committed by the Rebels on
our wounded soldiers, that would disgrace a
nation OF savages. Malignant hate and aiend-
ish depaavity displayed almost Incredible.
Several Rhode Island officers and others tes-
tided to the treatment of our dead-skulls
made into drinking cups, bones made into
dsum sticks, rings, &c, were produced. Al
derman Schale, Of Brooklyn, has been four
days trying to rescue the remains of his son,
who was killed on the memorable Sunday,
and who had been buried by his comrades.
But the body had been dug up and the bones
taken away. In many Instances the bodies
had been pTied cut Of the shallow graves by
the rebels, and the buttons, clothes, bones, all
taken away ~ trophies.
All this has been done in the name and for
the benefit OF slavery. And yet there are
Democratic editors who are Mortified at the
idea that slavery might be injured in the
present war, and who denounce in shc bitter
est terms all who are in favor OF inaugurating
policy which, while remanerating the loyal
owner of slaves, will gradually rid the country
of an evil which has brought all our present
troubles upon us. Can any one who has a
father, son, brother, relative friend in
the Union Army, read the above and not feel
that the cause, in whose name such worse than
oarbarous outrages are perpetrated, is acursed,
and taemble at the thought that similar indig-
mites may be committed upon those near
and dear to them, should they unfortunately
fall on the battle field in defense of their good

THE ALLEGED CLOTHING FRAUDS.

The report of the Legislative committee TO
investigate alleged frauds, perpctrated by OFF,
GERS of our State Government, upon the SOL
.diers who were furnished with clothing at the
public expense. on the breaking out Of the
war. has at length made its appearance. From
the givngs out of the Democratic members,
who had tho whole business in charge, the
people were led to expect series OF develop
ments of fraud and corruption, unparalleled in
has suffered from peculation, in times past,
when the so-called Dem ocracy We're IN power.
The report which is signed by every member
of the Committee, and is, therefore, of course,
unanimous, not only clears the State officers
OF all .censure, but gives them the credit of
.ssaving the capital Of the country from cap
ture by tho traitors, and the whole country
from disgrace" A more complete vindica-
tien was never awarded to en- Executive than
this Committee has awarded to Gov. Curtin.
It shames and humbles his enemies, while it
rebukes that portion of his own party friends
who were led away by the clamor of his polit-
ical opponents. We direct attention to the
closing paragraphs of the report:
ssThat til ere is NO evidence which in any way
involves any officer Of tie Government in any
improper conduct in the disbursement Of the
funds of the Commonwealth, or in providing
for the soldiers. On the contrary, the evil
.dence satisfied the committee, that in every
instance when any wrong was brought to the
knowledge of the Executive, prompt mea
sures were taken for Its correction.
"The committee feel 1t to be their duty,
-oll fo H. hnr< 70
our noble Commonwealth, to state that, not
withstauding she has placed more men in the
field than any other State in the Union, she
has prt them more promptly and at a less ex-
pense per man than either the National Gov
ernment or any individual State ct whose ex-
penditrre ,they have infermatien, and the com
u,ittee hesitate not to express their clear gudg-
ment that the thanks of the citizens OF the
commonwealth are due to their Executive Of
fcers for their self-denying and perseTering
efforts to maintain her honor, and from the
citizens of the United States, that by such
efforts the capital of the country WAS saved
from capture by traitors, and the whole coua
try from disgrace"

HON. JOHN PATTON.

From the Warren Mail March 90
We cut the following from the Washington
correspondence of the Mexican Miner. Our
Representative proves to be genuine Repub-
lican, and In these perious times the people
want representatives upon whose fidelity they
can depend. He is also worker and man
of influence, and among other by no means the
least of his gu ali6cations for the office is the
fact that he makes TO long speeches. We
doubt not that Gen. Patton will be both re-
nominated and reelected.
''I cannot close without mentioning the
name of our Representative, Gen. John Patton,
who is, understand candidate for re-elec-
ton. His course in Congress, with which
you are familiar, has been unexceptionable,
and will, without doubt meet the earnest ap-
proval of his constituents of both parties, un-
less there be left few among you who are tor

hope there are none OF this kind. If
there are, they should go to Dixie and find
congenial spirits. The labors of our Repre-
sentative have been very arduous this session,
as he is on several working COMMITTEES, ,one of
which the Committee on elections, gives its
members but little rest from labor. There
were, You know, many contested seats, and
that Committee is yet deeply engaged with
but little prospect of rest for some time to
come. know enough about legislation to
know how indispensable are such nj en- to the
discharge Of tina. business which tho public
interest so loudly calls for. The present ext
gencies require that good and patriotic men
like Gen. Patton, whose fidelity and useful
ness is established, should be retained, at
least until the present great crisis has passed.
