another part of this paper. We begin to
realize something in return for the many
months of criminal delay, and distrust in
our Generals. Thousands of hearts had
almost sunk in discouragement-not that
the people lacked in patriotism and bravery,
but that our leaders, both civil and mill

LATEST NEWS.

The last mail does not give as full de-
tails of the Pittsburgh battle as we had
looked for: It was terrible and closely
contested fight. Our army was surprised
by Beauregard on Sunday morning, and
with such overwhelming numbers that it Is
q wonder it did not beat hasty re-
treat. The first days fight resulted il the
defeat of our forces, but in the night We
were heavily reinforced and the next day
swept the battle field of its rebel forces, and
won great victory. Our loss is estimated,
in killed, wounded and missing, at 5000.
The enemy's loss is thought 10 be about the
same. The number killed on our side was
from 500 to 1000, among whom were many
officers. We took 1000 prisoners. but it is
thought they took larger umberr than we
did. Rebel prisoners say Beauregard's force
was 120, 600. Our force was not over 49,
600. The death of Gen. Sherman is not
confirmed. neither is General Wallace dead,
as at first reported. but IS MORALLY wound

but has made his escape. On Sunday Beau

lie also telegraphed to the rebel Adjutant
General on Sunday night. that he had at
tackled the Federals and gained great vic
tory. He was doomed to disappointment,
for the next day the fight was resumed, and
at three O'Clock his army was utterly rout-
ed, and chased several miles by our cavalry.
1t was at first supposed that we had taken
Corinth, but this turned out 10 be false
report. our troops having been compelled,
ON account of the rebels burning the bridg-
es, to turn back before they reached that
place. Beauregard is completely whipped,
and his prestige is gone. Gen. Ruggles of
Arkansas was killed. The bravery of our
Generals and trooPs, with few exceptions,
is spoken of by all in highest terms of
praise. ....--. ..f.-.l..
1t is reported by the Ifmes's correspon-
dent that when the attack was first made by
the rebels at Pittsburgh, the SD, 57th, and
77lh Ohio regiments and the 10th Iowa
displayed inexcusable ineficiency. They
ran without firing gun. We shall not be-
l;eve this report until it is confirmed. These
troops have shown great bravery in every
engagement so far.
There has probably been fight at York
town, Va, between the Potomac army, un-
der Gen. Nc Clellan, and the rebels under
Magruder, Johnson and others. Strong
forces had been concentrating at that point
for some days. The rebels were strongly
fortified, and Mcclellan was of opinion that
it would take several days to drive them
from their position. AS yet we only have
reports of a little skirmishing. It is
thought JEFF. Davis is at Yorktown to take
command. Their force is said to be 1OO,-
600. If we remember, the battle of York
town, where Ccrnwallis surrendered, was
the last one of the Revolutionary struggle,
and it would not be singular if the coming
battle would be the last desperate struggle

TWO MORE BRIGADIERs.

It gives US pleasure to announce that Col.
Mitchell has been appointed Brigadier
General This is amerited reward to man
possessing all the qualifications for Brig
adler. He is brave and patriotic man.
But the biggest ''sell" we have had to
record in the military line, is the appoint
ment of fellow named Jas. G. Blunt, to
the same position. The people will natur
ally ask, Who is Blunt? The only thing
we know of him is, that he lead the party
who went last fall and killed sold Rebel
Matthew'S" and after he was dead, Blunt
rushed bravely forward, and, placing pts
tol to his ear, shot q dead man! Why be was
appointed a Brigadier, no one can tell. He
belonged to Lanes brigade. Probably that
is enough. Gen. Deitzler's name has been
sent in for appointment; and if ever there
was an instance where man deserved pro-
motion, it is in the case of this noble and
brave officer. He is the oldest Colonel in
the service, from Kansas, and has done
more fighting than any other; but his thou
sands of friends in the State will be cha
grined and disappointed to know that he is
thrown aside, and Blunt gets the position
which General Deitzler deserves and ought
to have. 1t is said that the President an
nounced his determination, some time ago,
to appoint Brigadier from Kansas "unless
the Kansas delegation in Congress were unan-
imously and strenuouslyi in his favor Are

this gross injustice to Gen. Deitzler, and

fed for the place Did the soldiers-did
the people-did anybody ask the promotion

defense OF free institutions
The two victories we record this week are
equal TO any ever gained on this continent,
and approach in magnitude some of Napo-
Icons greatest achievements in the science
of war. History will dwell with eloquent
pen upon the bravery ofour troops at Pitts
burgh Landing. and our strategy in captur-
ing Island No. 10; how Grant led on his
columns, amid a storm of shot and shell,
flying in every direction about his head;
how Buell., with his noble army, rushed to
the rescue to save our men from destruc-
ton, and how Sherman, Nelson, Wallace,
Prentiss, McClernand and others, distin-
guished themselves for bravery.
There is side to this picture which it is
not pleasant to contemplate, and that is the
killing and wounding of so many thousands
of our brethren, and the desolation which
will be produced at thousands of pleasant
homes and fresides. While We are quietly
in the pursuit of happiness, they have left
all, and laid down their lives to save our
fair North from desolation. Words cannot
express the degree Of thankfulness which
we ought to feel toward them, and their
sacrifice of all. that there should be one
country and one flag. and free and. happy
people. May they be blessed in that bright
world where conflicts of this kind never
come
Beauregard had been many months in
front of Gen. Nc lellan, without fight,
and doubtless thought. by coming West, he
would be such scarecrow to our Generals
and troops that they would not fight him.
He was mistaken. 1t remained for Grant
to give him his first rebuke, and he must
be satisfied. Rebel prisoners say he made
a speech, before entering upon the battle.
in which he said he would swater his horse

He came very near taking up his residence in
