Pope had prepared for them IN the capture Oh
three of their Generals with Blk thousand o'
their rank and file. Even if Gen. Pope, whose
movements have been directed with such ad-
mirable precision and judgment, had been uh-
able 70 make them prisoners, their accession 70
tho Rebel forces in other defended posts would
have only been q burden and encouragement
in their broken and demoralized condition.
The great acts Of the war are now following
each other in too rapid succession to make
il worth while to anticipate the onward
movements of Com. Foote and Gen. Pope, by
specuating as to the scene OF their next opera
tions. or the nature Of the combinations when
must make tho united service now 20 over
whelnipgly powerful along the line OF the
Mississippi. The letter which We publish this
morning from our Special Correspondent, To-

guarantee that future operations IN the same
hands will not fail. So long ago as tho 18th
Of March the Commander of the National fleet
discovered the necessity of getting transports
through the slough to New-Sladrid, to CO.
operate with Gen. Pope; but the Counch oil
War which was held at the same time seems
to have doubted the prudence of experimenting
this movement by running tho gauntlet Of the
batteries. The whole of the arrangements ln'
deed, if We look at the narrative now IN its
connected form, were marked by uncommon
precautions; but the gain became so perceptl-
Bile, in being able to supply Gen Pope with the
means of crossing the river. in order to attack
the Rebel position in the rear, that the scru-
pies Of the Commodore aud his Council as We
have learnt, were ultimately overcome, and
the Carondeet led tho way in the advance to
the victorious achievement which is nov re-

The great victories at Island No. ~ anu a'
Pittsburg Landing, on the Tennessee, which
We report to-day. are hardly second ID import
ance to any yet achieved since tho opening OF
fbe war. The number Of Rebel prisoners cap
tured By Gen. Pope il officially given as
q. 900. including three Generals The great
battle of Pittsburg Landing is described as
the hardest-fought battle that has ever taken
place on this continent, resulting in COM
plete National sictory. This place, to which o
b storcal importance will hereafter belong is
not laid down on any Of the maps; but we
suppose it to be south of Savanna, and not far
from It. As Bcauregayd and Johnston, more
over are reported to have left Corinth for
Purdy, We presume the attack TO have been
made BY them at Pittsburg Landing and where
they have met with signal defeat. The lei
ter Of our correspondent, written on the 2oth
ult. aud which We publish this morning, in-
forms US that Gems. Thomas, Wilson, McCook,
and Critteuden, with their divisions, were on
their way to join Gen. Grant, between Purdy
and Savanna. To stay their onward move
ment, we conjecture, was the purpose OF tue
Rebel Generals.

RELAXING FOUNDATIONS.

The People Of IiLl'OIs, alone among the
States OF the Inion have recently held Il Con-
yenton 20 revise their State Constitution;
and the resul, attained by that Convention il
now before us. Constitution making IA one Of
the most difficult achievements by which the
power Of human faculties has yet been tested,
though the experience OF our country has fur
nisled guides which are wanting in most other
lands. We know before reading new State
Constituton that il viii provide for Governor
and legislature both elected by the People
Tor year or term of years; thai the Legisla-
ture wiil consist of Il Senate ard more nuuler-
ous body styled the Assembly or House OF
Representatives that member. Of the House
vii bo chosen for one or A. most two years,
Senators Usually for two or three years, tho
Governor sometimes for four years, though two
IA more usual. The Leg stature generally meets
once in each year, though there is a growing
tendency TO have its regular sessions biennial.
Yet whoever intelligently scans n new Const-
on the shore OF tho great ocean of politics.
aud accordingly We are gratfed at finding the
long BIZ Of Rights which preface. this Consti
tuition concluding follows:

TBE ADVANCE IN THR WEsIEnN

The expedition against Island No. 10, which
resulted in the capture Of the place, with the
Rebel artillery and provisions, yesterday morn

enhance immensely the value Of the naval Or
mament Of the West, and TO establish Oh the
firInest grounds the reputation Of the Comman-
der of the fleet, and the cooperating General
in the field. In this protracted siege Commo-
dore Foote has determined NOT TO trust 10 for
tune, or rush rashly into position before the
enemys batteries, which would have endan.
gered biz boats, without the certainty OF cor
responding gain. If time was an important
element in the calculations Of tho Rebel. the
result bas shown that it was not found Of suf-
fcent avail, either to enable them 10 receive
the necessary reenforcements for long defense,
or save their surrender from the character Of an
overwhelming disaster. For, whatever may
have been the value of their gunboais, they
would seem to have been powerless to infict
any serious injury on the National land forces
or on the Meet; aud had tho siege only lasted

Forgery to Evade the Draft.

One Of the Supervisors of Lansing relates
that he called at house for the purpose ol
ascertaining the facts of the age, name and
occupation Of young man. apparently about
twenty years old, but who since the draft has
been under consideration, has been trying to
pass himself as ouly seventeen. To substan-
tiate this as bis true age, the mother and step
father exhibited venerable and elegantly
executed instrument, in German writing, with
broad rcd seal affixed, as to high official
document From its general appearance it
might be family record Of births, appear
ance authenticated under seal. BY the fig!
ures, as pointed out, the boy was born in lS45,
and will be Of age, according 10 the law Of
Germany, in 1870. The 6guers five and
seventy had a new ink appearance. He sue
cceded in getting possession Of the instrument
long enough TO exhibit il to other Germans,
aud get an interpretation. 1t was commits
sion or document for Probate Judge to the
mother, as administra,,r or guardian, and set
ting forth when each chill was born, and will
be Of age, and entitled TO draw its portion Of
tho fathers estate, officially signed and
sealed, and done under date OF March l0lh,
ls43. This last date they had forgotten to
alter. Translated according to the altered
figures, the instrument makes tho Probate
Judge certify to the birth day Of the hoy
nearly two years before he was born, and sew
ernl years after his father was dead.
