OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

Tho great battles at Shiloh or Pittsburg
Landing Oh the Tennessee River were fought
on the 9th and 9TH ult.-nesriy four weeks
AGO. Up to this hour no official account of
those battles has been given to the public but
the brief one of Gen. Grant, written just after
the engagements. That report concealed the
fact that our advance division was most shame
fully surprised and nearly all cut to pieces or
,ak n prisoners, at least one regimens being
utterly destitute of ammunition, while others
we're shot or bayOneted in their tents.
Gen. Grant stated our killed ut l,5O0 and
our wounded at $500, saying nothing OF prs
oners. We actually lost 1854 unwounded
prisoners (to say nothing of many who were
taken on the 9th, but who managed to escape
from their Rebel guards during the panic and
flight of the 9TH and 6th,) and we think our
total loss little less than 10000.
Gen. Grant gives no clear account OF the
losses of the enemy; whereas the dead buried
by U.s. aud the wounded left in our hands,
might have been stated with perfect accuracy.
That the body of the Rebel Commander.In-
Chief, Albert Sidney Johnston, was lett on the
field by the fleeing COnfederates and buried by
our men. we believe. That it has since been
in the possession of the Rebels, they stoutly
affirm. We have no official light on this subject.
The Rebels pretend to have taken quite a
number of our cannon-any where IRON ~ 10
90. Our men admit that they lost number
on the 9th, but say they recovered their own,
and few more, on the 7th. All this is lelt
completely in the fog by Gen. Grants report.
In short, all that the People really know oi
these battles, beyond the fact that our troops
were beaten back on the first day, but were
re.enforced at night, and attacked and finally
drove the Rebels on the second, they have
learned from newspaper correspondents, VINO
are quite commonly regarded ard treated as
barely tolerated sometimes aa lntoleraoie)
nuisances in the camps. But for them, the
whole affair would have been involved in mys-
terry, aud in many points utterly lnexplicabe.
We respectfully appeal to Secretary stanton
for a reform. We do not object TO his hold
iug in such crisis, tight rein on the
press (though we can't help thinking the basi-
ness rather oyer-done), but We insist that
when the Government impedes the volunteer
publication Of intelligence, it should take care
to give early, circum-tantial aud true reports
# every collision with the Rebels. The Mil
lions of anxious, aching hearts arc not to be
lightly trned with.
New-York daily tribune., 1862-05-06

Each had right to lis own Judgment as 10
tL, best mode Of conducting the campaign now
IN progress; and it is no more cu'PaOio III
Secretary Stanton to differ from Gen. McClelIan
than for Gen. Mcclellan to differ from Secretary
Stanton. In fact, the Secretary had the rigbt
70 order, except where the President inter-
nosed to give a different direction. The Sec
retary of War overlooks the whole ground, and
is responsible for what goes on in every depart
ment of the service, while Gen. Mcclellan Is
responsible for his own department only. That
the former should at some time have "opposed
a request of the latter, is no more than he is
probably doing every day with regard to the
request. of Generals commanding in other do
partnenis, all Of whom would doubtless like to
have more troops and other means of making
their operations effective and triumphant.
The Commercial sees fit to copy from The
VorM an attack on Secretary Stanton for
not sending the whole Of Gen. McDowelrS
coyps (he did send half of il, under Gen.
Franklin) TO rc-enforce Gen. Mcclellan. The
failure to send the rest of it. it is said, pre-
vented the capture Of the whole rebel army at
Yorktown! Tho answer to this is perfectly
overwhelming, but it could not be made public
at this moment without possible prejudice to
the public service, so We forbear. Suffice it
that Secretary Stanton and Gen. Mcclellan
are doing erch bis best for the country; and
when they differ in judgment, the President
decides between them. Ole did so, unques-
tonably, in the case wherein tho Secretary is
arraigncd as above and the attack reaches the
President through the Secrotary.) We do not
think this arrangement can be improved by
any amount of newspaper discussion, so we
propose to leave the matter just as it is.
