We understand that the Hon. Henry 8.
Lane and the Hon. G. B. Smith have
written to their friends in thisecity that the
war will be terminated in ten weeks. We
hope this prophecy may prove correct. but
when we reeellect that Secretary Seward
more than year ago predicted that our
national difficulties would be settled in
sixty days. and the many assurances from
high official authorities that in a very briei
period from the time they were given. that
the rebellion would be overcome. that we
have but little confidence in the judgment
OF the wise men Of the Republican party
Ind. Sent.
We doubt very much whether Senator
Lane or G. B. Smith ever wrote such let
tiers. bat there is no doubt that had Bu-
chanan, whom the Democracy elected
been a true patriot, he could have sup
pressed the rebellion any time between
November. 1860. and January 1861. not
only In ten weeks. bnt in ten days; but he
was not. and the consequence is the coun-
try is involved in bloody civil war. the
end of which no man can see. Who is re-
sponsible? Shall we again trust that eff
fete party to select orr rulers? God forbid.

ST.. Louis. April 10.-The Democra
has the following from Cairo in relation to
the battle at Pittsburgh Landing. Tennes.
see:
The disposition Of the Confederstes in
the attack was in the form of letter V.
The point penetrated Premises di,
vision, which consisted Of raw recruits
who could not stand the shock, and fell
back. causing great confusion among our
troops on the left.
This charge would have resulted in turn
ing our left wing. and the capture of large
portion of Premises and Sherman's di-
visions. but for the gunboats Tyler and
Lexington. which beat the enemy back by
firing into his ranks shot and shell.
Great blame is attached to General
Prentiss and Sherman. who. it is said. had
no scouts out. and only a very small pick
ct guard. Information Of the approach oil
the rebel army is said to have been given
to those Generals by persons from the
country, but it was disregarded. and no
preparations made to receive the enemy.
Sherman was on the left; Prentiss was
next to him, Generals Hurlburt AMI Nc
Clernand occupied the centre; Gen. Sher-
man held the right.
The onset of the rebels was terrible
1t was received first by Prentiss and Sber-
man. BY 10 o'clock a, M. our whole
line, from right to left. was engaged Our
line was five miles back of Pittsburgh.
and we were driven back to the river. The
slaughter was great, end officers who par
ticipated at Fort Donelson. say that the
fight in no way compares with this in
ferceness.
The gunboats continued firing oil of
Sunday night.
At O'Clock Sunday afternoon Gen.
Buell. marched to Pittsburgh from Savan-
nah. About this time great part of his
command reached the river opposite Pitts
burgh. and rent the air with cheers. This
inspired our men who had been driven
back with fury during the day, and the
tide of affairs changed.
A large body of Gen. Buell's force
were crossed Sunday evening and night,
by fifteen or twenty transports.
Sunday night Gen. Lew Wallace got
mp from Crump's Landing with $4,000
men. With this reinforcement the fight
was renewed on Monday morning. and
ragged the hottest from 9 to 2 P. NJ. BY
which time force Of 40. 600 men from
Buell's army had crossed the river at
Pittsburgh.
One ravine between Hurlburt's and
Premises divisions is said to have been
literally filled with dead rebels.
Rebel prisoners say they had orders to
kill as many Of our officers as possible
Their officers fought in disguise, ours in
their uniforms. which was the cause OF
their being distinguished. and SO many OF
them killed. HeH
