!ineof defense formed late h the stening.
So far as we could learn, the 18th, 51st and
44th were the only Indiana regiments en-
gagged in the fight Of Sunday, and all three
are rightly entitled to have Pittsburg"
inscribed upon their banners.
Having passed over considerable por-
ton of the battle field, we returned to the
camp of the 18th, put up our horse and
started for the boat afoot. The mud was
at least knee deep most of the way, and the
half mile between the camp and boat was
the most toilsome walk we ever made
Through this mire and rain the soldiers had
to carry their rations on their backs from
the landing TO Che various camps, and q
man would have to be hungry indeed to
earn his bread at such an expense of wind
| aad muscle.
Most of the dead on the field of battle
had been buried-only here and there a
secessionist corpse might be seen awaiting
| interment. Dead horses were being col
Iected in the various camps, covered with
brush and burned. The stencil was quite
| offensive, though not as much 30 as we an
ticipated. A hot, clear sun, however, must
create a horrid stencil, as many of the dead
bodies were but thinly covered with earth.
| We have made no attempt to describe
the battle of the 9th and 9Th in detail
That has been done by correspondents who
were on the ground. The fight of Monday
was commenced early in the morning and
lasted till 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when
the firing seems to have ceased as if by mu-
tual consent. Several Indiana Regiments
displayed great gallantry during this days
struggle. Among others we might men
ton the 9th, which took one or two bat
teries with the bayonet, the 18th, 23d and
Gath of Wallace's division, the 29th, Both
and sd, Col. Willieh's regiment, which
fought with unusual gallantry, the Colonel
himself receiving a severe wound, though
not rendering hiDl unfit for duty; the 9th
Indiana and 36th also bore noble part in
the struggle. Col. Bass of the 3Oth Regi-
ment was MORALLY wounded, and when the
Bowen left Padueah on Sunday night was
nat expected to live till morning.
4 Capt. Thompson, formerly of this city,
commanded battery in the fight of Mon
day, which attracted the admiration of the
whole army by its gaIlantry and skill. The
brigade, of which it formed a part, went
into the fight with many misgivings, and
fears were freely expressed that it would
fail them in their time of need. To their
great surprise and joy, Capt. Thompson
and his men dealt such destruction among
the rebels that they were continually fore

Mcclellan and the Surrender Of Hars
Uerss Ferry

We are rather surprised to see that the New
York 1unss gives up several columns to an at
tack, BY George Wilkes, on the military capsci-
ties of Gen. Mcclellan in connection with the
loss of Harper's Ferry. We know here. and il
ought TO be known in New York, that the post
of Harper's Ferry was under the command OF
Gen. Wool and not of Gen. Mcclellan. We
know also that before starting from Washington
Gen Mcclellan urged the evacuation of Har
per's Ferry and the occupation OF the Mary land
flights, ON the ground that he did not believe it
could be held il thoroughly besieged-and on the
further ground that To assist it would greatly in
terfere with his plan OF campaign. In reply to
this recommendation assurances were given that
the post was "impregnable, and the recOmmen
dation of Gen. Mcclellan unheeded The fact
is that Harper's Ferry could be held as well by
garrison of twelve thousand men as by one Of
a hundred thousand, but we doubt il it could be
held long by any force il the Maryland flights
should tall into the hands of the attacking party
That it could have been defended twenty four
hours longer, with but slight additional loss,
there can be no two opinions. The extensive
works on Bolivar flights were either erected for
ornament cr 10 resist siege-if for the latter,
they were abandoned without use Whoever was
at fault there was certainly no fault on the part
OF Gen. Mcclellan.
a few DAYS since we also read an attack on
Gen. Mcclellan in the New York Times Tor not
having made reports of the seven DAYS battles on
the Peninsula. Now We happen to know that
Gen. Mcclellan, six days alter he reached Harri-

therefore no fault of his that these reports have

Feelings of the slaves.

Mr.. W II HURLBURT, the well known cores
pendent of the New York Times, who suffered
Imprisonment at the hands of the rebels from the
time of the breaking out of the rebellion up to
few weeks ago is writing series of letters for
that paper giving the result of his observations
in the South. With reference to the negroes,
upon whom the fanatical theorists count so conf
IDENTIFY to aid IN crushing the rebellion, Mr.. HURL-
BURT gives the following information:
OF course there are negroes. and not few of
them. who. by their natural good sense, or their
accidental advantages of education, are enabled
TO understand enough OF passing events TO make
them associate the name of the ~ Yankee" with
their own hopes of liberty. But the average ne
gro of the South has unquestionaby imbbed a
vague horror and dislike OF the Yankee" a
horror and dislike which time and experience will
no doubt wear away, but which must be expected
to CO operate with the natural dOcility and the
cat-like local attachments of the negro race, in
making the negroes subservlent TO the war policy
of their masters wherever the armies of the Union
fail actually to 6x themselves, and to supersede
the old social order by new. Even the lntelli
gent among the blacks, those who comprehend
the meaning of the freedom they desire and are
willing to do their part toward securing it, are too

mass of negro ignorance and prejudice 10 be

CoRISTH, Sept. %.
lnasmuch as greatly exaggerated reports have
reached the papers, concerning the late fight at
luka, desire TO say that although the affair was
one of great briliancy, it gains nothing by falsi
fcation. The division of Gen Hamilton, which
engaged the enemy near Iuka on Friday after
noon, the 18Th consisted of only ii 900 effective
men, and from the nature of the location which
had been selected by the enemy and gave them
very marked advantage, not all of these could be
made efficient against the twenty massed regi
ments OF Sterling Price.
AS it was, the brunt of the battle fell upon the
Fifth Iowa, Eleventh Missouri. and Capt Sands
Ohio battery; and nobly aid these regiments do
their tragic duty.
The Iowa 9th went into the fight with only 4S2
men, and had 2l9 men killed or wourpied. Not
a man. from the heroic Col Matthias jown, but
acquitted himself with honor, and exhibited the
ssost reossrk-ble trmness ard desperation. The
same may be said OF the Missouri BOYS, who
opened the ball with $50 all tolu, and lost upward
OF 50 in killed or wounded. That the Ohio bat
terry fought and suffered like heroes is evident
from the fact that over half their number fell
and only twelve horses were saved from the fiery
shock of the battle.
The reported capture of prisoners and artillery
is greatly magnihed. The batteries of Price out
numbered US by ten or twelve pieces, and the re-
suit of the battle found Rosecrans in possession
of one more gun than he bad at the outset Sim
ply this and nothing more, and glory enough
anyhow.
Price left on Saturday morning "wth the
lark" moving his splendid train with admirable
skill. Pursuit with little advantage was contn-
ued for eleven miles, and the enemy fell back
upon Fulton. some sixty-fve miles, designing
thereby TO reach Baldwin, railroad point con-
Meeting with Vicksburg.
The enemy's loss is not exactly known 1t is
certain, however. that 26l of his dead were
buried by the Union details, and probably 400
will cover his wounded
The regiments in the fight belonged to Gen
Hamilton's division, and were as follows: 9th
Iowa, Col Matthias; 18th Missouri; 18th Wis
consin Battery; Goth Missouri: 10th Town. Gel.
Per eel: 4Sth and 18th Indiana; 4th Minnesota:
18th Iowa; 10th Missouri; 10th Iowa and the
llth Ohio Battery.
There is considerable effort TO make General
Grant censurable for not co operating with Rose
Grams in season to BAG Price and his crew at Iuka
Grant about Brownsville, seven to nine miles
above. and either he too slow, Rosecrans
too quick, or Price too sharp-probably the lat.

The following infamous sentiment. from the
Anti Slavery Standard illustrates the spirit which
animates the radical party:
We can not think there Is any appreciable
ground for fear that the rebels, warned of the
impending fate of the diabolical institution for
which they have made war. will Law down the
weapons of their rebellion before the end of 1.-The
days of grace" accorded them by the President.
and thus drag the North into renewal of "the
covenant with death and the agreement with
hell" which has been the source Of all our woes.
If the President had issued such proclamation
one year ago. there might indeed have been some
danger of such dsgraceful termination of the
war.
