The Memphis Appeal of the Esd Of April has
an article on the "Defense of the Mississippi ,
urging Its importance. It speculates on the con.
sequences "if Island No. 10 should 5e evacuated"
II uses this language:
''If Island No. 10 should be evacuated-if, at
future time, Fort Pillow should prove insult.
cient to check the descent of the feet of the
enemy's gunboats-whst theni"
Great as is the capacity of the rebels for con
csaling their losses, and downright lying, this
is astonishing. Two weeks after the whole rebel
army, and the most of their fotilla-an army Of
Ave thousand men, one hundred pieces of artil.
lery, &C., &c.,-were captured-when the army
was imprisoned, and our own troops in charge
of the guns at No. l0-the Appeal puts the
question to its readers-what if Island No. 10
should be evaenateA This is the most audacious
attempt at public deception during the war.

IL A Rebel journal, the Peterburg Express,
admitting the capture Of New Orleans, congrat.
ulates its readers that the yellow fever will do
the work which the Rebel General was unable to
perform. 1t finds likewise consolation in the
fact that Lowell, the leader Of the Rebel band at
New Orleans, will be able to join his forces with
those Of Beauregard at Corinth, and thence
march into Ohio as soon as the Tennessee and
Cumberland become fordabe. Other Rebel
journals. from which extracts are made, speak
Of the surrender of New Orleans in similar terms,
but admit that different result was expected.
One of these Rebel journals apprehends that
Memphis will share the fate of New Orleans.

10000 men, or about fourth part of the rebel
forces engaged. Bot even calculating that they
were one.third, we have, upon the above basis,
q total of 2,7Sl killed, 13, ,413 wounded, and l.
0sS missing. The Cincinnati Commercial says:
There is no reason to suppose that the enemy's
regiments which lost most heavily are those first
reported. We have, for instance, before US the
names of the killed Of the 55th Tennessee, a re-
giment not included in the report Of the Argus,
copied elsewhere, and they number sixty-more
than any one named by the Argus lost The
total number of rebels, wounded and unwounded
who fell into our hands was over thousand -
These, with the stragglers from the enemy's
ranks, would make up their missing, and in that
particular verify our estimate. Our correspond.
ent, writing from the battle field, three weeks
after the engagement, after long and earnest
search for the truth, says: II deem it safe to
say that at least three thousand Confederates
were gathered up by our burying parties" II
the enemy lost in killed three thousand, and the
proportion between the killed and wounded was
the same as in those regiments whose official
returns are printed, their loss in wounded was
IA ACT; and the missing continuing this calcuIa.
tidH; would number 1857. Total loss 1884.
Our killed are in proportion to the wounded as
one is to four and half The rebel killed, ac-
cordIng to their official report, was as one to
four and two-thirds. 'a'
We may add, further, that only one of the
rebel Kentucky regiments is in the above list
whereas six Others we're engaged, and their NOR.
talty lists as published in the Louisville papers,
give an average of 125 killed and wounded to
each. The casualties on both sides, at Shiloh,
