EDITORS CHICAGO TRiBUxE ~ ,,rs,4.. i. 4, 3.
From reports of the battle of Pittsburg pub
lished 10 the ST. Louis and Chicago papers,
notice that it is the general impression among
tho reporters that our Iowa men were taken
prisoners in the early part of the engagement on
Saturday, and some have gone 30 far as to state
that our soldiers threw down their arms with
little or no resistance. Tho latter statement 10
too palpAbly false to deserve notice. yf,siss
The Iowa Sth, 18th and 18th went into the
fight early in the day, held, and even gained
ground during the day, while regiments on the
right and left were repeatedly forced back, and
not till o'clock, were they surrounded and taken
prisoners. examined the ground where they
were taken, and it was literally covered with
rebel..dead. Our men instead Of throwing down
their arms, smashed them against trees, and raw.
ed like madmen because they we're compelled to
surrender. .f.e.., u. ;ss- il,i..s
The reason why they were taken was because
they stood their ground while our forces on the
right and left were driven back, allowing the
enemy TO surround them. LieutlD. B. II.

YOUTHFUL BRAvERY.--The following acc ount
OF an incident of the battle near Ptsburg Land
ing is given by one who is enabled to vouch for
its authenticity:
"In the battle at Pittsburg Landing, young
Martin BEEN of Alton, ILL.,, scarce l8 years
old, was Sergeant in the 18th Missouri, hav-
ing entered the regiment as private. On
THAT fatal Sunday the color bearer was shot
down at his side; he caught up the flag and
carried it through the day, and slept that night
with its folds around him. The next morning
his Captain appointed him Second Lieutenant
pro tempore. The first volley killed the First
Lieutenant and Martin took his place. Soon
after the Lieutenant Colonel fell, and the Cap.
tam Of Martins company acted as Major, leav-
ing this young hero to carry the company
through the battle, which he did most gallantiy
and escaped unharmed. Young Martin BEEN
was in printing-office when the war broke
OUT ne went to st. Louis and enlisted among
the three e-months volunteers At the expirao

A COUNTER REBELLION IN VIRGINIA.-Some
weeks previous to the advance of Gen. Banks
up the valley of Shenandoah there seems to
have been an uprising OF the Unionists there,
which was suppressed by 'Stonewall Jackson
There has been vague hints of the matter in
the Richmond papers, but the following from
the Richmond Whig of April 18th, shows that
it was of some Importance:
'The Rockingham Register says that the
"Blue Ridge rebellion" has been pretty effect
ually crushed out. The active measure adopt
ed for its suppression have resulted in dispers-
ing the parties engaged in it to the four winds.
1t embraced, we learn, at one time, between
300 and 400 persons, of different ages, from l6
to over 45 years of age. They were not all
natives of Rockingham, but had gathered in
the Blue Ridge from Green and Page counties,
with few from Albemarle. They were very
illiterate, ignorant set, and were tolerably well
armed with rifles, shot guns and in one instance
with pike. They fed from their homes on
the approach of the troops sent after them, and
lodged about in squads in the by.paths and
gorges of the Blue Ridge One Of them shot
from under him the fine riding horse of the
high sheriff of Rockinham,Y. c. Ammon, Esq
MIR Ammon was quietly pursuing his way on one
of the mountain roads, when the shot from the
hidden foe struck his horse in the belly, pro-
ducing his death in few hours. The Regis
ter says it should not be inferred that the whole
of the population in that region is tinctured
with disaffection and disloyalty, and disposed
to rebel against the government Of their coun
try There are some Us staunch and true
friends as the confederacy has anywhere, resi-
ding right in the midst of these outlaws and
rebels The imposing and formidable dem
onstration, however, made by Lieut. Col John
II. Jones, per order Of 'Stonewalp Jackson, has
had the happy effect of driving them from
their haunts and places of, rendezvous, and
scattering them in confusion. A few prisoners
and few horses were taken, and it is hoped
the course pursued by Lieut.. Col Jones has
efectually put down and crushed out this mis-
cradle abortion of a rebellion against the con
federate authorities" ffas -au

Several deserters have come into our lines.--
One states that the rebels evscated owing to the
near approach of our parallels-that they feared
the success of our gunboats in York and janet
Rivers, which would cut of their communities
tions.
Gen. johnson gave orders on Thursday to evac-
uate--to commence the following morning,
which was done.
Magruder is seid to have strenuously opposed
evacuation, saying il they could not whip the
Federals here, they could not anywhere in Vir-
ginia. tis-<5
Deserters agree that their troops we're much
demoralized and disheartened when orders to
evacaate was given as all anticipated nght
there. s5.ia i4-.i.ff4se 4s:..s
The rebels had 100000 men in the Peninsula,
also 400 pieces of field artillery.
Gen. Lee, rebel Commander in Chief, arrived
at Yorktown on Wednesday and examined
McClellan's works minutely, after which II is
supposed he recommended evacuation, deeming
his works inprcgnable. 2 ..-.a-' -
II is believed the rebels have fallen back on
Chickahominy creek, beyond Williamsburgh
where IL is expected they will make stand.
Gen. Stoneman's command, large force OF
cavalry and artillery is pursuing the enemy and
have probably come up with their rear guard
if they remain near Williamsburgh.
The Eonboats have passed Yorktown and are
now shelling the shores on their way up the
river following them are number Of vessels
loaded with troops to effect q landing
An official report just received, says the enc.
my left II guns in the works at Glocester Point
guns and ordnance stores were also left.
Deserters just come in report that JEFF Davis
came with Lee Wednesday, and after oonsulta-
ton with prominent officers, all agreed to eva
cuaton except Magruder.
From the army correspondent Of the Associa-
ted Press at Yorktown.
The enemy's entire works were occupied at 6
D. M, which their rear deserted four hours be.
fore. Everything was found in utter confusion.
About fifty pieces Of heavy artillery were
spiked. Also found large amount Of medical
stores ammunition, camp equipage and private
property. Officers say the rebels threw large
amount Of ordnance stores into the river.

DRAFTING.

There seems to be, assyet. some doubt
resting upon the public mind as TO whcth-
er or not resort to drafting will be necessa-
ry in this State, in order to complete New
Iork's quota Of the new levy ST 800, 900
One report Of the interview at Washington
between President Lincoln and the New
York committee affil med that Mr.. Lincoln
expressed strong Discrimination to draft
ing men for the war, whilst another state
ment on the same subject as positively af-
firms, that the Executive favored the alop-
ton of that plan as the only apparen;
means of speedily obtaining the number
Of men specified in the call.
At all events, we learn that Gov. Nor
gan now has authority from the War De
partment to begin drafting. if requisite, on
the 18th Of the present month, and as rhe
progress of voluntary enli>tments does no,
secm 10 warrant the belief that the qu1t,
of the State will have then been raised. i,
is safe to assume the postulate that an iu,-
peraiive regime will then be inauguIat-
