THE WISCONSIN TROOPS
AT THE BATTLE OF
PITTSBURGH LAND
ING.
UNPARALLELED BRAVERY.

The 14th, 10th and 18th Wisconsin
were all in the fight. The 10th was in
Prntiss' division, and, with others, was
dispersed or captured.
What remained fought bravely and suf
fered terribly.
The 18th Wisconsin reached Pitts
burgh Saturday evening, and marched
to the from. of Sherman's division. They
were exposed on Sunday to the heaviest
fire, returning it with an energy worthy
ofveterans.
This regiment was entirely raw, and
had only been paraded few times, had
been hurried down from Milwaukee into
the heat of the fight, and many bad new
err loaded gun Till they did it before the
enemy. All these regiments did nobly.
Let Wisconsin glory in the unfinching
bravery and the patriotism of her noble
sons. The hard fought field of Pittsburgh
will bear immortal record of their devo-
ton to freedom.

ONE OF THE PoRT ROYAL CONTRA

ONE OF THE PoRT ROYAL CONTRA
BANDs.-A late letter from Port Royal
presents the following incident:
Two contrabands came to our camp
last week from .Barnwel district. They
had run away several times and were
pursued. One Of them is the most fright
full object | ever saw. His arms are
covered with the marks of the teeth and
claws of blood hounds His back is fur.
roughed all over with the marks of the
lash. He is quite an Intelligent negro.
When asked why he was whipped so. he
repl ed, "Kase, massa, dey wanted me
as de driver, to whip my mother. and
couldn't do dat; raider dan do dat I run
away, and dey set de blood hounds Cd
me-"
When the chaplain of the 4Sth, who
had opened school for the instruction
of the contrabands, called upon him and
presented a card, asked him if he knew
those letters he replied, "Lor Dress you
massa, | never hearn of SIGH thing
afore." Pompev, for that bis is name,
has been employed by Mr.. Adams, our
sutler, and he has already received more
money for his service than he ever saw
before in his life. When asked if he
was married, he said Yes, but by no
book, massa, an d de overseer took my
wife to his self. She now has child, white
as any children Of the overseer."

From Pittsburgh Landing
DESTRUCTION OF BRIDGES. !
Beauregard's Army Hemmed In.

PIrrsBRG LANDING, April IA.
A force of four thousand men, on five
transports, left the Landing on Saturday
night, accompanied by the gunboats Ty-
Ter and Lexington, proceeded up the
Tennessee river to a point near Eastport,
Mississippi, landed and proceeded on foot
to Bear Greek bridge and destroyed the
two bridges on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad; one 125 feet the other 2l0
feet in length.
A cavalry force of one hundred and
fifty men, after having four killed, left in
most approved Southern style.
The expedition returned on Sunday
night without having lost a man. This
was one of the most bold and successful
operations of its kind during the war,
completely cutting off communications of
the main body of rebels at Corinth, with
Alabama and the rest of the Confedera-
cy. except New Orleans.
A flag of truce arrived at our outposts
yesterday with Gov. Johnson's son, of
Kentucky, asking the fate of his father.

- Gen. A. Sidney Johnston, the
Confederate officer, who was killed at the
battle OF Pitsburg Landing was consid-
cred the abest General in the rebel SER
vice. lie was probably sent to the
Southwest by President Davis, to an
initiate General Grant. 1t is quite GER
tain that he had with him the flower of
the rebel army, which had been encamp-
Cd at Manassas. His loss is scarcely less
to the Confederates, than the loss of Gen.
Scott would have been to US in the conf
mencement of the war. Gen. Johnston
was native of Kentucky, and had the
ability, the daring, and the enterprise, so
peculiar o characteristic of the people of
the West.
