John SIIDELL-It seems that this man, whom
the London Times noticed as being worth, per-
sonally, about a. much as one negro-he may
be worth less, for aught we know--bcfore he
left the United States for Europe, sold all his
property In the South, amounting 10 two or
three hundred thousand dollars, and invested
the whole in English and French securities
Herein he plainly showed that he had no conf
dence in the rebellion; and yet such man
would lead bis countrymen into this difficulty,
and ruin the fortunes Of thousands Of men,
while hs carefully secured his own. He never
expects TO return home, and in fact he would
not dare to do so. He would not dare TO show
his face again in Louisians, TO meet the scornful
and vindictivs gaze Of . people whom be has
deceived and abused. He has managed with
more cunning than some others Of the leaders,
who have xpt y ssye Aenselvea

THE SITUATION.

A despatch from Cairo states that an officer who
left Pittsburg Landing on the evening of Monday
last reports that the Union forces have taken pos.
session Of Corinth, the intrenched position of the
rebels.
The late glorious victory at Pittsburg, on the
war. We give to-day complete history of the
battle with all the details as far as they have been
ssccrtained up to the latest moment, together
with . fine map Of the battle ground and its
vicinity, and sketches of the leading officers en-
gagged on both sides. In every respect both as
regards the duration of the battle, the numbers
lost, aud the determined valor of victors and
vanquished alike, it was one of the most re-
markable anl bloodiest conflicts Of modern days,
Our loss proves not to be heavy as at frs. re.
ported. II Is set down at about five thousand
killed and wounded. What amount of loss the rebels
suffered cannot Of course be accurately stated.
The body of the rebel Comma Chief, Albert
Sydney Johnston, was left on the field and taken
possession Of by our troops, together with those of
many other distinguished officers. We unfortu-
tunately lost q number Of our leading officers but
that Is not to be wondered at, considering their
splendid conduct, their constant exposure to dan
ger, and the disregard Of personnel safety which
they exhibited throughout the two days action.
Among the wounded was General Ulysses 8. Grant,
who commanded our forces. The number of men
II t~c.l
and fifty thousand at least. Our troops numbered
eighty thousand men in action on Monday (the
second day., aud the enemy, from all accounts,
must have had very nearly cs many in the field
The Southern accounts Of the strength of the
rebel army at Corinth, given before the battle,
were probably exaggerated. They we're as fol.

The force rndef General Evans was, in oil
probability nearer TO ten thousand than forty
thousand, which would make the aggregate of

The news Of this great victory, which has
broken the rebel power in the Southwest, was
received throughout the country with intense
excitement, enthusiasm and jubilation, from the
national capital to the rcmotest part at which the
Intelligence was received.

VINO ARE REsPoNsIBLE FOR THE BLOOD SP1ILnD
IN THE RECENT BArrrEs-This is q question
which it needs no ghost to solve. The men whs
stand responsible before God and the country.
and before the whole world are the abolition
lists primarily and the secessionists secondarily.
According to the accounts received of tns
battle at Pittsburg Landing, the insurgents
lost thirty-ive thousand men, and the
Union troops about FIVE thousand. This may
be somewhat exaggerated; but there ID No
doubt that the loss Of life Is fearful, that or.
phans and widows have been made by thou
sands, and that vail Of deep anguish will
ascend from every corner Of the land. Poverty
and destitution will be tho lot Of vast number
thus boreft Of their natural protectors. Fos
thsse manifold calamities the revolutionary
abolitionists- on by Phillips, Garrison and
Grselsy--and the revolutionary secessionisis--
led on by Ysncey and his fellow conspirators---
are accountable before high Heaven and ct the
bar Of public opinion. All the water in Nsp'
tunes great ocean cannot wash away tho
bloody stains which adhere to them, and thsik
memory will stand accused for eges.

SUNDAY MEMoRABLE Day IN THE EVENTS
OF Tuls WAR-Ths fact that our glorious bat
tie Of Pittsburg Landing was opened on Sun
day, and that the capitulation of Island No. 10
occurred between Sunday evening and Monday
morning, reminds us of certain other memora-
BILE Sundays in the leading events of this rebel
lion. On Sunday, the 9th of May last, Presi-
dent Lincolns twenty days to the parties con-
cerned in t'is rebellion expired. On Sum-
day, the 2ist of July, Bull run; on Sum
day, January 10, 1862, the beginning of the
general break down Of the rebellion, was
fought the battle of Mill Spring, KY, ending
In tie defeat and death of General Zolicofer;
on Sunday, the 18th Of February, Fort Donel-
son was surrendered; on Sunday, the Esd, the
Union advanced column, under General Mel
son, entered Nashville; on Sunday, the I'd
March, Brunswick, Ca, was occupied by por-
tion Of tho Dupont expedition; on Sunday,
March ., the battle between the Merrimac and
the Monitor, In Hampton Roads; on Sunday,
March %, the battle of Winchester; and be-
sides these more important events occurring on
Sunday, there have been Sabbath day skir-
mishes East and West, within the last twelve
months, too numerous to mention But pre-
badly Pittsburg Landing, like Blenhsim and
Waterloo, will stand in history among the great
decisive battles Of the world fought ON Sum-
day. Bssuregard, however, In celebrating II
as the week day anniversary Of Bull run, has
made serious mistake but, with regard to
Sunday ~ the holy Sabbath, II IL out Of the
question With hostile armies face To faQs.

that Wnen pusne0 70 rne last extremity
We may still have chance of reaching
the protecting soil of Mexico:" Nor can there
be reasonable doubt that before the lapse of
many days its last days sun will have set upon
the rebel government in the Old Dominion,
and then we shall have nothing to do but to
gather up the broken fragments Of great re-
bellion laid in ruins.
There is no occasion for the slightest impa-
tience in regard TO the movements of General
Mcclellan. That accomplished soldier, to
whose military genius and knowledge we are
chiefly indebted for all our splendid victories
of the present year, by land and water, is abun-
dainty equal to the single operation Of re-
storing the old flag 70 tie Stats Capitol
Of old Virginia. Upon this point our
readers may anticipate q crowning success.
Let him who is inclined TO be impatient read
the letter, elsewhere in these columns, from an
intelligent correspondent, touching the compre-
hensive services of General Mcclellan as de-
scribed by General Halleck. II shows
that Mcclellan understands his business.
From all accounts it appears that the rebels on
the York river route to Richmond are resolved
upon a stubborn resistance; but, whether they
fight or fly on his approach, the army Of
Mcclellan will surely do its appointed work to
the satisfaction Of the country.
The chosen architect, under our sagacious
President Lincoln, in planning The great fabric
of our glorious victories Of 1862, Mcclellan, at
Richmond, will himself put on the capstone
of the pyramid. If his advance shall be des-
perately disputed, then we are confident that,
under Mcclellan, Our soldiers q the East will
wipe out the disgrace Of Bull run, and fully
establish their claim to stand side BY side with
our iuviucibls soldiers Of the West

Az an early hour yesterday morning, a portion
Of the command OF Gen. Franklin drove tie
Rebels out Of Sugar Loaf Mountain, Tin Frederick
county, Md } point Of Euch military import
arce, as commanding view Of a large scope Of
country in all directions. Some resistance was
made By the Rebels posted there, which was
overcome in few Moments with loss Of not
roore taan half a dozen Federal killed and wound

twas a,certained here last night that in the
course Of yesterday the Rebels were In force at
Boonsboro', some fourteen miles west Of Fred
erick..
From circumstances within our knowledge,
we incline to the belief that they have already
withdrawn mos, Of their infantry from the i'm
mediate vicinity of Frederick city towards
Boonsb oro' and back to the immediate neighbor-
Eood Of the fords In their rear We shall, there
fore, not be surprised to learn Tomorrow that
Frederick IS again N the possession Of the Federal
forces.
Large bodies of Union troops continue to push
forward to the front, among them many OF the
finest troops In the service. Thus in the last
twenty-four hours we have seen on the avenue
the remarkably fine ard full brigade of Max
Weber, long attached to Gen. Mansfeld's COM
mand In the vicinity of Norfolk. It's discipline,
drill, spirit and general appearance were the i'd
miration of all beholders as 1t marched by, and
reflect infinite credit on both Gen. nj. and Gen
w. We may also mention the fine army corps
Ct FItz John Porter, which, II not long since dis
organized, az Gen. Pope alleged, has been re-
stored to Its former well-lnown condition as
though by magic.
However, the Union army Of to-day is four-fold
as eHcient as on the day when Gen Mcclellan
las. took command Of 1t. We doubt not that It's
numbers actually doing duty have been doubled
in that time, while the magical restoration of the
tone and condition Of the men makes 1t by far the
most formidable army ever assembled under the
| flag Of the United States.
| Fortv-one prisoners Of war reached here at min,
O'Clock last night, taken probably in the affair o
