aECEsseOS VICTORIES.

On Monday, the 18th inst, the Rebel main
. Army of the West fed in dismay from the
battlefield Of Pittsburg Landing, leaving behind
is Commander-in-C Chiefs dead body where il
had lain for hours abandoning 1000 OF its
wounded breaking down a bridge eight
miles from the Landing to stop the pursuit OF
our victorious troops, and making tracks for
its stronghold at COrinth, whence Beauregord
dispatched to Richmond tie following bulletin
, ConiNrr, Tuesd,y. April 9, 1862

We haze gained :ea and glorious victory. Eight to ten
thousand prisoners thirty pieces Of Buell.
oosesd GIaut and ace is:enohmenh al COrnth,

BEAUREGARD.
Two days after writing ard sending this
living dispatch, Beauregard (on Thursday the
10.h) sent flag Of truce to our Commander,
still in undsputed possession OF tho battlefield,
rsquesting permission to bury his deod, and say
ing:
"Otsing 20 tie A-ery ,esafresens you yeered Suadcs
qht and Monaay end me Jasue @ nay men, deemed pra
den, N retire and not reaeo tae b0Hi@"
That is to cay, be deemed it prudent "
not to fight any more, lest he should eaten a
still severer thrashing than that he ran away
from on Monday. All that is perfectly reason
able and consistent; but how does it cohere
with his dispatch "To the Secretary of War
- at Richmond" intended for the Rebel news
papcrs? If he Lad all his own cannon and
thirty.six Of ours, with eight to ten thousand
" prisoners" why should he have g retired to
l." his intrcnchments ?" Ia that the way yictor'
are apt to improve their advantage
On Sunday night, lie telegraphed that he had
won glorious victory, and his Secretary added;
"NoHrThe enemy in full retreat, and the Confed
crates In no. pusu write from the enenys camp and on
Federal paper Large numbers Of Federal prisoners sve

These two po.entates hre natural antagonists.
In our City especially, they long ago locked

Law, TO be sure, has the State on its side,
and the Police; but Rum countercbecks them
with her Judges, who are practically stronger
than Law and State together. Rum made

pretends to interpose some claim upon these

MILITARY GOVERNOR FOR NOETEn
CAROLINA.

The policy inauguratcd by the President
when he made Andrew johnson Military Gov
ernor Of Tennessee, seems TO have been followed
by the appointment of Edward Stanley to ex-
ercise like responsible authority in North
Carolina. A telegraphic dispatch from San
Francisco of the 10th inst, states that Mr.
Stanley will leaye California in few days TO
assume the duties of tic now Office in that
part of North Carolina which is under tie
actual control Of tho United States. 1t is added
that the people of San Francisco, who have
long known Mr.. Stanley consider him the best
man the President could have selected to lead
North Carolina back to the allegiance from
which she was 90 forcibly wrested. Edward
Stanley early enjoyed Office and distinction by
the suarages Of the people of bis native State
and never forfeited tho confidence they ropOsod

TPE NATIONAL FORCE BEHIND
COKlNIH.

Un!ess some unlooked.for misfortune should
turn the tide against our forces on the Ten
nessee, we can hardly over-estmate the value
of the movements against the great Rebel
lines of communication near the three border
ing States. The advance Of Gen. Mitchell t2
Huntsville, aud thence eastward to the Chatfa-
pooea Junction and westward along the Men,
phs and Charleston Railroad to Decatur, was
strategic movement Of tho greatest mo-
ment And scarcely less important is the
advance We report this morning OF 4,OOO
National troops from Pttsburg Landing
to point OH tho west bank of the Ten
nes-ce River; which Las enabled our army
to make another break in the Rebel line
of communication. The pOint to which our
boats reached is Eastport, and a few m'ieS
routh of this the Ohio aud Mobile Railway
crosses a stream called Big Bear Greek. To
that place our forces proceeded, and destroyed
two important bridges--oDe measuring III
feet and the other 2i0 feet in length. This
work was done on Saturday night or Sunday
morning last-before Beauregard could have
bad time to recover from the effects OF the
involuntary retreat of the previous Monday
The railway crossing at Bear Creek is twelve
lniles southeast of Corinth, 80 that beside
cutting oil the Rebel line Of communication
with the Atlantic, the position tanks Beau
regards right.
This movement, in connection with the on
ward progress Of Commodore FoOte and Gen.
Pope toward Memphis, gives promise of good
account By Generals IIaleck, Buell., and Grant,
when they move upon the Rebel front. There
are stil two lines Of retreat for the Rebels;
one leading direct from Corinth TO Columbus
(Miss.) and Mobile, the other from Grand
.Juncton-haf way between Corinih and Mem
phis--to jackson aud New-Orleans. Nucb,
therefore, depends upon tho speed with which
Commodore Foo.e and Gen. Pope may be able
10 press forward. Ii is unlikely that, without
their aid, any other important flank movement
can he made The number OF the forces sent
to Huntsville s1d Eastport are comparatively
small. and from THE fact il may be judged that
the Commanding General at Pittsburg has re-
solved lot to invite another Rebel advance by
weakening his front. The arrival CT the Ma
tional feet at Memphis may compel an imme-
date fight or hopeless retreat toward the
Gulf. And Commodore Foote and Gen. Pope
have had enough experience Of their ability To
overcome the Rebel obstructions in the river
with which their part of the work will be done
