We have Beauregard's briei official report of
the first days (Sunday's) fighting at Pittsburg

of Shiloh !" and also some accounts of that
days engagement from rebel newspapers
Beauregsrd announces the assault upon our
troops, and says that after ten hours severe
Sighting the Nationals were driven frem every
position. He also confirms the report Of the
killing of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, who,
it appears, was rebel commander.in. chief.
From the Mobile Register we learn that he
fell as esrly ss 81 o'clock on Sunday. The
dispatches to the rebel newspapers sent from
the vicinity Of the battlefield on Sunday night.

treat, hOtly pursued by the rebels. We are
driving them back on the river" it 10 said, sand

as these reports are correct at all, they but

from our own side, that the fortunes Of war
were against us the frat day.

The surrender Of Island No. 10, and the

joint victory OF Pope and Foote, was the cap
ture Of the gunboRts, the floating battery AID
the transports that the rebels had at the Island.
Some Of them were sunk. but they can be raised
and all can be employed in eur service. These
will add greatly to our transportation facilities
as we'll as TO our naval strength.
a letter TO a Cincinnati paper says that or
Tuesday, April 9Th. General Pope telegraphed
TO General Haleck that " if transports were
provided, he would be in Memphis by Monday"
This time has expired we do not know wheth-
er the transports were provided, but Halleck
and Pc oe are hot the men TO suffer q good op.
portunity to be lost through delay. The best
way TO relieve and support the army at Pitts

From much reading and reflection on the

duties of the Office named (; and hence, that
if elected, l should be, emphatically, the
right man in the right place. In a word, /
regard myself to be a man of FUNCTION,
and therefore, as these are times when every
man should do his duty-when no man
should hide his light under bushel-I feel
constrained to overcome my natural repug-
nance to nofcrliY and office, and to submit
myself a willing martyr to the wishes Of
my friends and the Interests of the public.
The MUGGINsEs are all patriotic, and l
should be untrue to my tribe if declined
this honor proposed to be thrust upon me.
No sir, waving all considerations of per-
sonal inconvenience, stand prepared to

Most of the newspaper correspondents at
leland No 10 do not write very hopefully
81 Commodore Foote's ability TO drive the
rebels from that strong position. The forti-
fcations appear 70 be admirable in design
and defended by powerful guns of the most
improved patterns. Commodore Foote Ia
bOrs under great difficulty owing to the
of his boats in making
an attack down stream. Were one of them
to become disabled in its machinery it
would inevitably driftsdown the river and
fall into the hands of the rebels. A cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says it
looks as if the operation was goiEg to be
long and tedious one. Some of the officers
think they will be able to drive the rebels
off in the course of a week, but this appears
doubtful. The whole feet have been stead
lily Smelling an upper battery for more than
g week, and yet have not succeeded in
silencing it. Even after it is silenced it is
commanded by two or three other power
full forts which would make it a hot place
for those who attempted to take possession
of it.
If Gen. Pope only had some means OF
crossing the river with his fine army and
assault the rebels in the rear, short work
would be made of them and their batteries
but such an experiment would be hazard
Gus in case he was outnumbered and over
powered. But we have faith that COmmo'
dore Foote viii yet devise some plan O
routing the rebels from their stronghold.
