no OFFICIAL REPORTS.
No official accounts have yet been Feeeiv-
ed from the great battle near Plttsburg. A
few who were witnesses Of most of it have
arrived, and summary Of their reports are
as follows. They may differ somewhat from
the frat reports sent you: The Federal army
was posted between two streams, about four
miles apart that run into the Tennessee near
ly at right angles with It, about two miles
each from Pittsburg. The left front was COM
msnded BY Gen. Prentiss, who had several
raw regiments, and In his rear was General
Sherman, with his Division. The right front
was held oy Gen. McOlernand, with General
Smith in his rear. Gsn. Hurlbut was in the
centre, somewhat in the rear Of the front
line. Beauregard attacked Gen. Prentiss'
Division at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning,
surprising them and driving them and Sher-
mans corps near the rear, till protected by
gunboats, and taking Prentiss and two regi-
ments prisoners. While driving in Prentiss
ard Sherman, large force Of the enemy got
in the rear Of Gen. MeOlernand's Division,
completely cutting It from the main army.
Gen. McOlernand put himself at the head Of
bis troops and cut his way through the rebel
hosts and rejOined the army. The fight had
now become desperate, and Gen. Grant as
suming command, the enemy was driven
back, and the federal forces occupied ct night
nearly the same position they did in the
morning. The fight lasted fifteen hours.
During the night Major General Lew
Wallace came up from Crumps Landing with
$1,000 troops, and in the morning the battle
was resumed with great fury. Neither party
seemed disposed to yield, and between ten
and twelve the fight was terrific Soon after
noon Gen. Buell. had crossed the Tennessee
and attacked the enemy In Aank with 20, 900
men, and the rout soon became general.
Gen. Buell. pursued with IL, 900 men, most
ly cavalry, and the last rumsr was that he
had taken Corinth.
Our informant can give no account ofour
loss, farther than that 1t is terrible. Eight
