The Burning of Fort Pillow.
Especial Dispatch 70 the Chicago Tribune.
MISSISSIPPI FLoTILLA,
OF Fort Pillow, June 9th, 8 A. NJ,
VIA CAIN. June 9th. 1862.

Especial Dispatch 70 the Chicago Tribune.
MISSISSIPPI FLoTiLLA,
OF Fort Pillow, June 9th, 8 A. NJ,
VIA CAIRO, June 9th, 1862.
There is every reason 10 believe now that
Fort Pillow is evacuated. We have waited
for the event long and impatiently, and Il
seems that our desires have at last been
gratifed.
A deserter for once has reported the
truth. A man from the Fort came on
board the Benton at about 2. NJ, yester-
day, and informed Commodore Davis that
the rebels had commenced evacuating the
place on Tuesday morning, and when he
left, there were but twenty mon remaining
to work the mortars and guns, they having
received orders TO keep up shore bonn
bardment at our feet until their ammuni-
tion was exhausted, then to fire the breast
works Of cotton, the barracks, and every
thing combustible, and make good their
escape.
! The deserter was not believed by the
/ Commodore, at first, but he strongly per-
| sisted in his account, aud said If some one
would go down and see he would stake his
life on the truthfulTiass OF his statement. II
found falsifer they might hang him to
the nearest tree Towards evening Com
modore Davis dispatched gig to recon-
noissance. The men returned with con-
frmation Of the story, at least they sup
posed the Fort to be deserted.
At six o'clock, however, as the mortar
boats were being withdrawn from their pO-
sition for the night our ears were saluted
with the reports Of several rebel mortars
and guns from the works; they fired in
rapid succession, apparently giving the lie
to the story Of the deserter which had by
| this time become current in the fleet. Sew
eral shells were seen to explode directly
over the beach, over Flower Island, and
their fragments sent up column of spray
as they struck the water. This certainly
/ did not look like evacuation In about
half an hour, however, the firing had eeas-
| ed and presently black smoke was seen
to ascend from the bluff on which the fort
was situated.
It was at first supposed to come from the
chimneys Of some rebel steamer, but finally
grew to too great a volume for that. 1t
gradually overspread the horizon. Another
column and yet another column broke out
in different spot, but still in the vicinity
of the fort. They were soon Joined in one
black, murky cloud, which enveloped the
sky as pail Then it was that color of
truth was lent to the story Of the deserter.
Com. Davis Immediately dispatched Cap
tain Phelps in a tug with orders to ascer-
tain if possible the truth of the report and
the cause Of the cOnAagration. 1t was dark
before he returned to the Benton, but he
brought full confirmation Of the story Of
evacuation, and statement that the fort
was actually on FIRE. The cotton breast
works, the barracks and the gun carriages
were burning. This fire was reflected in
the sky until o'clock in the evening,
when it died away.

Ohio Wen n CnrInrh.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial says that the 1st Ohio were among
the first to mount the enemys works at
COrinth. Also, that in skirmishing by
MeCOOk's division;
The administers meeting with consider
able resistance, Captain Cotter (who has
lately been reinstated in his command by
order of the War Department. was order
ed up with his battery, and he soon made
the woods rather warm for the pickets.-
Some of them had climbed trees, in order
to pick off the cannoneers, and during the
cannonading Capt. Cotter struck and com
pletely cut off a tree few feet below one
Of them, bringing Mr.. Secesh sprawling to
the ground A few Of the 32d were wound
ed, but none killed. The enemy being re-
moved out of range Of the workmen, they
were held SO until the work was com
pleted.

Gen. Fremont,s March.

The march of Fremont from Franklin to
Strasburg and beyond, is a most incredible
one, and one that will never be appreciated
by those who have not seen an army Of
twenty or twenty-five thousand men on the
move. He made over hundred miles in
less than q week, and that, too, with the
most limited transportation that was prob
ably ever assigned to a command Of the
same size. The moving of an army is not
the moving of so many men. 1t includes
the moving or rather dragging of immense
pieces of artillery with all their heavy
weeeled aecoutrements, frequently requir-
ing fifteen or twenty mules to perceptibly
move the wheels through mountain gOrges
and deep cuts, mud holes and ravines. But
even this is a small part of the moving
Subsistence has got to be not only provided
but transported, snd this again includes
forage for all the train Of mules and horses,
companies of cavalry, sc. Ambulances
with their sick and wounded have got to
be moved. Thousands Of barrels Of -four,
meat, and all sorts of commissary stores
have got to be removed also. In word,
all the endless paraphernalia Of tents, bag
gage agal u stqFssfh$S tn ssfh$ 63s ies-i to be moved and
kept along within the protection OF the
troops.
Gen. Fremont had to make his march
over half a dozen ranges and spurs ol
mountains. He had to cross all the vari-
GUS intersections and combinations Of the
Shenandoah with all their mountain
streams. Yet he came to time. He was
bound to come to time when he left Frank
lin, if it was in the limits of human endu-
rance to do so. He himself, led the ad-
vance from the start, and with his maps
and his guides piloted the way. His march
was almost a second crossing of the Alps,
and a great deal better time in proportion
to the facilities at hand, was made by him
than was made by Napoleon.
Such marching is not the way, of course,
to move troops as a rule. It is killing on
them, and soon uses up an army. But the
march shows that when an exigency is at
hand, in which the Government requires
celebrity above any other consideration,
Gen. Fremont is eminently fitted for the
occasion.- Wheeling IHtslEgeneer.

Capture of Prizes of Immense Value.
o. .. DIEAMEh AUUUsIAi
Of Charleston, S. c., May %.

have barely time to forward letter
by the prize just captured off this place,
and which is on its way northward.
The news here is quite important. Our
gunbOats are soifbiR -four miles Of Charles
ton, by way Of StonO Inlet, and we all ex-
pect soon to attack it.
Last week the steamer Bienville captured
the English steamer stetten, worth nearly
100000; the next morning after this
lucky hit we drove the rebel steamer
Nelly ashore, and she is now complete
wreck.
The next morning our steamer and the
gunboat Huron captured the English steam
er Cambria, worth, with her cargo, nearly
million dollars, as she was trying to run
the blockade. Besides these, the Bienyille
captured the English steamer Pstras and
the James Adgar, and the Keystone State
took another English steamer, the Eliza
beth, each estimated to be worth nearly
half a million.
The Captains of the captured vessels say
there were eight of them altogether, and
we have four of them. We may yet nab
the remainder. The captured vessels have
been sent to New York.
If we 90 on at this rate, it is more than
likely that Johnny Bull will begin to real
izs that the blockade is efficient. Let him
send on his vessels-the more the merrier
FOR us.

The Baltimore City Union Convention
held a session on Wednesday last, in that
city. A series Of resolutions was passed
re-affirming their unconditional adherence
to the Union, and also approving the poll
ey proposed by President Lincoln in his
message of the 9th of March last, and
sanctioned by Congress, rendering peeuni-
airy aid to such States as may choose to
adopt a system of gradual emancipation.
They also resolved that the State Constitu-
ton ought to be changed so as to correct
the present unequal representation of the
peoplein the Legislature, and to secure the
right Of representation in proportion to
the white population in all parts of the
State.

what One NeErO Did for Gen. Burnside.

What One Negro Did for Gen. Burnside.
It was in February last that the expedi-
ton of Gen. Burnside and Com. GOldsbor-
ough won the victory at Roanoke, and took
possession of Newbern and the neighbOr-
ing country in North Carolina. When, it
is said, burnside unfurled the Stars and
Stripes in front Of Roanoke, he saw little
canoe padding off to him which held a
single black man )" and in that contra
baxd hand victory was brought to the
United States of America, led by Burn
side. He came to the General, and said /:
"This is deep water, and that is shoal !;
this is swamp, that is firm land, and that
is wood; there are four thousand men here,
and one thousand there; a cannon here, a
redoubt there" The whole country was
mapped out, as an engineer could not have
done it in a month, in the memory Of that
man. And Burnside was loyal to human
ity and believed him. The soldiers forded
where the negro bade them, the vessels
anchored where he bade them, and to-day
he stands at the right hand Of Burnside,
clad in uniform, with the pledge Of the
General that as long as he lives and has
anything to eat the man that gave him RO-
anoke shall have half loaf.

nfenlphis 10 Ours.

There is no longerR doubt that Memphis
has surrendered to the federaIs. On satur-
day, dispatch boat passed New Madrid
direct from Memphis to Cairo The boat
reported that the city quietly surrendered,
and that all was quiet st the time of loay-
ing So at last the hot bed Of intolerance
and Union persecution has fallen, and the
federal flag must and shall be respected
by the citizens Of that murdorous hole. Il
Is not wise 10 be too vindietive or blood
thirsty, but there are not few persons
who would rather have seen Memphis re-
sist until some Of the places which have
been witness TO mereiless cruelty TO loyal
men aud women had been riddled with
shot and shell, than to see her fall I'M
harmed into Union possession. Probably
every rampant rebel who remains viii he
'protected7 in his dwellings and stores,
and though federal soldier may die with
thirst he must not drink from a rebels
well unless full and free permission is
given by the black-heartod owner. A
guard will also be placed at every door to
be jeered and insultod, and perhaps spit
upon by the inmates, without chance for
the poor privilege Of saying "don't." That's
the way we hold captured territory now.
p S, The dispatches Of last Sunday
night give full details Of the naval fight
which preceded the fall of Memphis, and
Of the capture and destruction Of the rebel
feet. -

Apotber stroke by Cen. Mitchell.

Gen. Mitchell has made another dash
after the enemy. An expedition from his
command drove body Of rebels from
Winchester county seat of Franklin
county, Tennessee through Jasper (cOun-
ty seat Of Marion) to Chattanooga, dis
tancs of thirty or forty miles, making
several captures of wagons and stores.
These sudden swOOps of Gen. Mitchells s
serve to tell the enemy that he still lives
and movss in their midst.

The BORDER r Runians nj Work Rgain--Three
Thousand RebeIs 70 Invade IIissOurl and
Kansas. ...f.
It viii be remembered that Governor
Rector of Arkansas, some time since, issued
a proclamation, in which he expressed him
self about equally disgusted with the Wash
ingtOn and Richmond Cabinets. By the
extract we give below from the Leaven-
worth Conservative Of June 4th, it viii be
seen that the Governor is attempting to
put his ideas into practice by demOnstra-
ton upon the Missouri and Kansas border
The Second Ohio Cavalry boys may have
an opportunity to see service against this
new foe
During the past three days Gen. Blunt
has been receiving intelligence, by tele-
graph and by messengers, of a new and
important rebel movement in Arkansas.
Il will be reeollected that Gov. Rector
published few weeks ago a proclamation
declaring that Arkansas had received no
protection from the Confederate Govern
ment, and that she would hereafter rely
upon her own right arm. This prOclama-
ton was ridiculed by the press as mani
Testing new and ridiculous attempt at
seeding from secession. 1t is now rem
dered certain that Gov. Rector was in dead
earnest. The latest adyices are to the eff
feet that his appeal has been responded to
by the people. By combining the remnant
Of McCulloch's old force, by Indians and
by new eonscriptions, an army of 1900
men has been collected.
They have twenty-five pieces of artillery.
The rebels are commanded by Rains,
Schauwait and Coffey 1t was the purpose
of the leaders to have this force at Fort
Smith, Ark, last Friday, May 80. From
that point they intend to move to CoWskin
Prairie, near the line between Arkansas
and Missouri. Cowskin Prairie is in Nc
Donald county, the extreme southwestern
county of Missouri, and about seventy-five
miles from Fort Smith. The country over
which the rebels must march is much bro
ken and badly adapted for the rapid move
ment of troops.
W sloltttS DO ftfffi6 in Kansas. The Com
mander Of this Department is the man Of
all others for the emergency. He has tray
eled over every foot Of the ground, and
knows thoroughly the tactics to be used to-
ward such foe. There are still thousands
Of troops in Kansas, well drilled and well
armed; there are at least ten regiments in
Missouri that can easily be concentrated at
Fort Scott. In artillery we are peculiarly
fortunate, having effective batteries and a
large number Of guns. Gen. Blunt will
omit no act necessary to make our troops
efficient s-
By the evacuation Of Corinth the rebel
forces will be increased rather than dimin-
ished. The soldiers Of Missouri, Texas and
Arkansas will naturally return to the Vi
einity Of their own homes determined to
save them, although Beauregard retreat
forever. And they may be followed up the
Arkansas by that feet of gunbOats which
is 50 severely pressed by FOote and Far
ragut. ..E.| ..- &
In view Of these facts it will not be at
all improbable if the Border war lasts
through the summer, and most desperate
conflicts take place on the soil whore

poses"
