NASHVILLE REPORTED RETAKEN.

inc urilin yesterday. we give ull
the dispatches:
CoRINTH, April 16.-A gentleman
arrived in this place last right from
Louisville, which city he lei' at the
end Of March. He reports that II
great reaction is taking place there
and that the people are ready to re-
volt in large numbers, had they but
arms.
He represents that there. arc no
Federal troops in Kentucky, except
few hundred at Bardstown and
Bowling Green. He says there are
but a thousand troops at Hickman,
which can be easily taken.
The Mis- ouri (St. Louis) Repub-
lican, of the 10Th, contains Federal
accounts OF the ate battleat Shiloh,
which are greatly exaggerated, and
in some respects not unamusing.
The New York Herald's dispatch
characteristics it as one Of the great
est and bloodiest battles recorded in
modern history, and estimates the
Federal loss at from $1,000 to ~, 600,
and ours ut 35, 900, to 10000 O
The Herald states the Federal
forces on the first day ut $4,000,
and ours at 10000.
1t says that in the first days fight
Generals Grant, McClernand, Sher-
man, Prentiss, Smith and Hurlbuts
were joined By BH6tL, Wallace, Mel
son, Crlttenden, Wood and Thomas.
1t admits that we fought desper-
ately, and vanquished the Federals
the first day; that only their gun
boats saved them ana that on the
next day they were reinforced, reg
iment alter regiment.
The Herald claims Il great victo-
ry as having been achieved on the
second day, and that they routed
us, pM'SuiNg as to Corinth.
The st. Louis Republican puts
the Federal loss 5000, and says that
our forces was from $4,000 to 1U0,-
600 that they retook all their cap
, tured artillery, and forty pieces ot
ours, with large number ofprison-
| ers.
The Republican states the Fedcr-
al force, on the second day, at So
coo, and asserts that Gen. Beaure
CARDS arm was shot otf: that the
tcderals now hold Corinth, and
have driven us beyond that place.
The same paper names, as among
their killed, Brig Gen. w. Ill. Wal
lace; Col. g. Il. Grim, Acting Brig
adler Col. Ellis, Of the 10th Illinois;
! Col. Kyle, OF the 3lst Indiana; Col
Davis, OF the 46th Illinois; Capt
Preston Morton, 18th Kentucky
Major Page, 57th Illinois, Col, Hail
10th Illinois Major Hunter, 81,
Illinois. Among their wounded
Gen. Grant, slightly; Gen. Smith
severely; Col. Logan, 32d Illinois
Col. Peabody, 10Th Wisconsin Gen
w. II. Sherman, Col. Sweeny, Lii
nois, Acting Brigader; Col. Stew
art, Illinois, Acting Brigadier; Col
Crutts, Indiana, Acting Brigadier
Col. Haynes, 4Sth Illinois; Col. Nc
Henry, l7ih Kentucky; Col. Mason
list Ohio.
1t would seem from this that Gen
Buell. is not killed.
The Now York Tribunc's dispatcl
| states that the enemy was reintorc
ed by Wallace, with $4,000 men
from Crump's Landing, and by
Buell., with 10000.
Also that several transports haC
gone down the river with the woun
ded. that eight hundred Of then
were put on one steamer, and tha
a large number of steamers wer'
', sent to take off more.
+ Preparations, according to th'
same dispatch, were making in al
. the towns on the river, (Ohio) III
to Louisville and Cincinnati, to re
, ceive the wounded.
A leader ia the st. Louis Repub
lican, OF the 10th expresses the ut
most horror in view Of the terrible
carnage in what 1t terms ''this un
holy rebellion, p and pleads earnest
ly for Il termination of "this wicke'
assault upon q nations life, an'
upon a government which neve
did the South any 'iiful harm 2?
