Yesterday, about s o'clock in the
morning, the right wing Of our army un-
der Gen. Hardee, attacked the enemy in
his camp. The fight soon became general,
and was contested with great obstinacy.
The impetnosiiy Of our troops was ifre-
sistible, and after a long and bloody con-
hict the enemy gave way.
The battle is understood to have taken
place at Pea Ridge, near the Red Sulphur
Springs. or little place called Monterey
about four or five miles from the railroad,
and some twenty miles from Corinth.
1t is reported that among the slain, on
our side, are Col. Kit Williams, Col
Bates off Nashville. and Col. Brown of
Mississippi. Gen. GLADDEN., of louisiana
lost an arm, and Gen. Hindman had hi
horse killed. which, in falling, mi ured
his lame leg. The loss on both sides ia
said to have been very heavy.
Gen. Buell. managed to reach the
Federal army, it is supposed by means Of
transports, with his reinforcemsnts, on
Saturday night. He was consequently
in the battle.
1t is said that while our right wing
and centre were pressing Oh the enemy,
our left wing under Gen. Polk, succeeded
in thanking him, andintercepting HE re-
treat to the river. Passengers report
that the enemy threw down his arms and
fed. leaving largs number Of -eaptipes.
They say, too, that eight batteries were
taken, consisting Of some fifty guns.
A great victory has been won. Many
families will be made TO mourn, and have
our warmest sympathy; but We feel over
fjoyed in thosuccea ofOur arms, and hope
that the triumph has been 30 complete as
to place Tennessee erect, freed from the
humility to which she was.reduced by the
arrogant invader.
II the rout be complete, the Federal
army must be disorganized. and no i'm
pediment interposes between our victo-
rious Generals and Nashville. II Gems.
Van Dorm, Price and JEFF Thompson now

hope Of the subjugation Of the South
remains to the Federalsy
LATER.
The sixth Tennessee regiment is report
ed to have suffered severely. 1t is
gallant corps, and was most effective in
the discharge of its duty.
The batteries we're taken by resist
less charge. In fact, there was little
firing on our side, the bayonet and bowie
knife being freely used
THE LATEST.
A dispatch states that courier left the
battlefield at 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and arrived at Corinth late last
night. He brings intelligence that we
have, so far, captured six thousand prison
ers including Gen. Prentiss!
After this battle, We may expect before
long to hear from Generals Buckner and
Tilghman, and other gallant heroes who
fell into the hands of the enemy at Forts
Henry and Donelson. Memphis Avalanch

The Case Fairly PINT.

What is defeat THE question agi-
tating the community in regard to the
late battle, has now come down to the one
proposition Ibid We defeat the enemy ?"
A view of all the circumstances shows the
following
LIST. That the enemy chose their own
time and place of attack.
I'd. That they attempted surprise and
carried it out At the beginning. BY com
ing most unexpectedly upon our forces,
while many Of them ware preparing their
breakfasts.
Sd. That their troops outnumbered
ours considerably.
The result was, that after fifteen hours
of severe fighting, they were forced to re-
tire to their old quarters, having in killed
and wounded nearly double the number
Of men lost on our aide. We are of the
opinion that it was at least such defeat
~ will forbid their making similar at
tempt under the same circumstances. -
There il q point beyond which reason
cannot consistently 60, and thosewho wish
more should take their muskets 10 hand
and stand side by side in such contest
as the 9th and 7th, with the valiant men
who. under CALLING FIRE, sent back the
balls like hail upon their assailAnts. Fail
ing to accomplish their object. when they
began operations under such favorable
circumstances, was Of itself defeat, but
having driven them back with heavy loss,
constitutes it doubly so.-Cin. Times.
