EDWARD EvERETT-This veteran states
man, by speech and pen, has done inyalua-
bic service, since the outbreak of the rebel
lion, to arouse and direct the loyal feeling of
his countrymen. His writings have evinced
a versatility, on practical affairs, and meas
ure OF ability always commanding respect.
The public Will be glad to learn that the
March number of the Atap,ic will contain a
paper on Taxation, from his able pen.

der ?" said weak kneed gentleman to his
patriotic wife. Yes, indeed" was the
instant response, an admirable granny
dear !"
The Richmond Mxamiuer discusses the
re-enlstment question philosophieally, and
reaches the conclusion that the desire of the
twelve months m N to visit their homes a.
mounts to "a morbid passion 1t thinks
however, that the true course is to crafty
them, and that they will soon be back again
and re-enlist voluntarily. The rebel leaders
will not put their trust in any such philoso-
ply. They will coax what they can, and
compel the rest.

1t becomes my duty again -
report another battle, fought between the
two great armies, one contending fer the
maintenance Of the best government ever
devised, and the other for its destruction 1t
Is pleasant - record the success Of our army
contending for the former principle.
On Sunday morning our pickets were at
tackled and driven in by the enemy. Imme-
diately the FIVE divisions stationed at this
place were drawn up in line Of battle to meet
them. The battle soon waxed warm on the
on the left and centre, raging at times to all
parts Of the lines, the enemy having forced
the entire line to fall back nearly half way
from their camps to the Landing. A.
late hour in the afternoon desperate efort
was made by the enemy to turn our left and
get possession of the Landing, transports sc.
The point was guarded by the gunbolts Ty-
Ter and Lexington, with four 24-pounders,
ParrOtt guns, and battery Of ri1ei guns.
Just at this moment the advance of Buell's
column and part of the division Of Gen.
Nelson arrived and an advance was imme-
diately made upon the point of attack and
the enemy was soon driven back. In this
repulse much is due to the gunboats Tyler
and Lexington.
During the night divisions under Gems.
Crittenden and MeCcok arrived. General
Wallace, at Crump's Landing, six miles be-
low, was ordered at an early hour in the
morning to hold his division in readiness to
move in any direction it might be ordered.
At IL o'clock the order was delivered to
move it up to Pittsburgh, but owing to be-
ing led BY circuitous route. it did not ar
rive IN time to take part in Sundays battle.
During the night all was quiet and feel
Ing that great moral advantage would be
gained by becoming the attacking party, an
advance was ordered as soon as day dawned.
The result was the repu.se of the enemy at
all points of the line, from O'Clock until
probably 5 in the evening, when it became
evident that the enemy was retreatiug.
My force was too much fatigued from two
days hard fighting and exposure in the open
air to a drenching rain during the Interven-
ing night, to pursue Immediately. Night
closed in cloudy and with heavy rain max
ing the roads impracticable for artillery bv
the next morning. Gen. Sherman however.
followed the enemy, finding that the main
part of their army had retreated in good
order. Hospitals with the enemy's wounded
were found all along the road as far as rur-
suit was made.
Gen. Prentiss was taken prisoner IN the
hrst days action, and Gen. Wallace was Sc
vereiy, and probably mortally wounded. His
Asst Adj't Gen., Capt. W McMichael, is
missing, and was probably taken prisoner.
The exact loss in killed and wounded will |
be known in day or two; at present can
only give it approximately at 1900 killed
and $500 wounded. The loss Of artillery
was great, many pieces being disabled BY the |
enemy's shots, and some losing all their
horses and many men. The los. Of

rondent says the sum and substance OF the
battle is. on Sunday we were pushed from
disaster to disaster till we lost every diyi-
sion camp we had and were driven within
half a mile Of the Landing. when the ap-
proach of night, the timely aid Of the gun
boats, the tremendous efforts of our artillery
and Buell's approach saved US
On Monday, after Q hours hard fighting,
We simply regained what we had lost OF
Sunday. Not a division advanced bali
mile beyond our old camrs, on Monday, ex-
,ept Gen. Wallace's.
The lowest estimate places our los 5 in
killed and wounded at $500, and in prison
rs 5000 to 1000. The rebel loss in killed
md wounded is probably 1000 heavier The
