Particular cf the Naval Engagement.
.. Washington, June 8
The following message in relation 10 the
action OF the rams in the Naval engagement
of Memphis, was received at the War De-
partment this evening: ...
Opposite Memphis, June {,
via Cairo, June s.
To Hon. f. NJ. Stanton:
The rebel gun boats made stand earl,
this morning opposite Memphis, and opened
a vigorous fire upon our gun boats, which re-
turned with equal spirit. ordered the
Queen, my flag ship, to pass between the
gun boats and run down ahead OF them upon
the two rams of the enemy, which first boldly
stood their ground. Col. Elliott in the Mon.
arch, of which Capt. Doyden is first Master,
followed gallsntly. The rebel rams endeav.
ored to hack down stream, and then to turn
and run, but the movement was awful to
them. fhe Queen struck one of them fairly,
and for a few minutes was fast to the wreck.
After separating the rebel steamer sunk.
My steamer, the Queen, was then herself
struck by another r.bel steamer. and disa-
bled, but though damaged can be saved. A
pistol shot wound in the leg fdeprived me of
the power to witness the remainder of the
fight. e
The Monarch also passed our gun boats
and went most CALAMITY into action. She
first struck the rebel boat that struck my flag
ship and sunk the rebel. She was then
struck by one OF the rebel rams, but not In.
jured. She then passed on and struck the
Beauregard and burst in her side. Simulta
neously the Beauregard was struck in her
poiier by snot from our gun boats.
The Monarch then pushed at the gun boat
Little Rebel, he rebel flag ship, and having
but little Roadway pushed her before her. the
rebel commander and crew escaping.
The Monarch the finding the Beauregard
sinking, took her in tow until she sank in
shoal water. Then in compliance with the
request of Com. Davis and Lieut.. Col. Eli
OFT. despatched the Monarch and the Sgitz.
erlaud IN pursuit of the one remaining gun
boat and some transports which had escaped
the gun boats, and two OF my rams have gone
below.
1 cannot too much praise the conduct Of
the pilots and engineers and military guards
of the Monarch and Queen, the heroic con.
duct of Capt. Dryden, or the brave conduct
of Lieut.. Col Elliot
will name all parties in a special report.

who was disabled.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE
RICHMOND.

From our Correspondent af the Tribune.
Fortress Monroe, June 8.
Beyond doubt, the loss of life on both
sides before Richmond on Saturday last
was much greater than the cuuntr y has
yet any idea OF. The loss on our side
was principally on Saturday, when we
were surprised. | am informed on au-
thority that deem trust worthy. that
1000 of our wounded have been collected
and that accommodations for 5000 more
are required, Several gentlemen who
came from the White House to-day, and
were on the field during the engagement,
place our loss at from six to eight thou
sand, and that OF the enemy much more.
Prisoners and contrabsnds place the fig-
ure from ten to fifteen thousand. Every
place in Richmond was filed with the
wounded, where a scene of disaster was
universal.
The fighting on Sunday would appear
to have been nearly as much in our favor
as 1t was against us on Saturday. Gen.
Meagher's brigade is represented as hav.
ing made most brilliant charge, and the
conduct of the troops generally very ex-
cellent.
| have been unable to obtain more
than few of the names of the killed and
wounded. Col. Riker of the Anderson
Zouaves, New York, was killed. His
embalmed body leaves by the Baltimore
boat tonight Gen. Howes, of Maine,
had his arm taken off. Col. Miller of
0lst Pennsylvania had his head shot off.
Major Gulf, 9th Pennsylvania was Kill
led, Col. Rowley, 102d Pennsylvania
was wounded slightly in the head. Col.
Macarthur, l03d Pa, was killed. Gen.
Deven of Mass, and Col. Briggs, of the
10th Mass. were slightly wounded.
1t Is represented that the ground for
miles was covered with killed and wound
ed of both sides.
On Saturday night the two armies Law
so near to each other that neither could
carry off their wounded. The next dav
all the ground previously lost was re-
gained, and the enemy driven mile and
a half. To-day we learn that the conflict
is renewed, and await with anxiety the
result.

rebels relied for retreat were promptly
seized by Gen. Pope,-and the grand
confederate army Of the South West,
was compelled to disband, and fly in all
directions to escape the vengeance Of the
Union soldiers in their rear. This grand
movement, has virtually ended the war in
the South West. The rebels cannot rally
another army sufficiently strong to offer
resistance to the splendid troops under
Gen. Halleck. Memphis will fall without
blow-Fort Wright will surrender from
sheer necessity,-the Mississippi River
will speedily be under the complete con-
troll ofour gun boats from its mouth to its
source. Mobile will be taken, and thus
the war will end in the cotton region, in
the complete triumph Of the Union
arms. Hsnceforth there will be nothing
for osr government to do, but to organize
temporary military governments for the
States in all that region, and occupy them
with sufficient military force to. keep
down the rebellious spirit Of the people.
The end Of the rebellion in the South
West has oomel
II now only remains to annihilate the
rebel army at Richmond. That event
will not be long delayed. The confeder-
ate Capital must fall. Even while we
are now writing these hasty words, it is
not impossible that the Union banner
waves over tho Capital of Rebellion, and
that the confederate army of Richmond
has either capitulated or broken up into
guerilla bands. We are on the eve of
triumph so complete and overwhelming,
that the whole world will stand in awe of
the power and majesty of the government
of the Union!
