Pope with the land forces, are bescging TT.

phis. The same tactics which routed the
rebels at Island No. 10 seem to have been

Just above it. Fort Pillow mounts % heavy
guns and is said to be defended by. l, 800 men.
At our last accounts the mortars had CON-
mcnced administering their doses of s. Lin

not confirmed, that the place had been sur
rendered BE this true or not, its reduction
is beng certainly only question Of time
and then on to the BalZe. The Mississippi
will be open from its headwaters to its mouth
by the 4th of July next.
Later news from FIT. Pillow says the bonn

is reported now in command, with six thou.
sand rebels and five gunboats. The arlna-

admirable practice by their cannonadng. II

strenuous until after the rebels at Corinth are

A Camp of Females at Island No. 10. Cap.
tured.
Correspondence Island No. 10.

Correspondence Island No. 10.
One of the features of the deserted rebel
camp was a popularity which we have not
met with heretofore. On beautiful hill sur
rounded by beautiful groves, budding wild
flowers, and the accompanying charms of a
rural retreat, we found a bevy of nymphS en-
camped and enjoying soldiery life in real earn
est. There were twelve or fifteen of them,
of diffcren ages, but all young, and more or
less fair to look upon. They sat around the
camp fire, and cooked their breakfast, little
disheveled and rumpled, as might, perhaps,
be eXpectep, in remembrance Of the scenes of
excitement they had passed through, but yet
as much composed, and as much at home, as
though they had campaigned it all their lives.
There was stray lock Of hair hanging here
and there, an unlaced bodice granting chary
glimpSes of vast luXuriance of bust, stock
ing down at the heel, or q garter with visible
downward tendencios-al of which was at
tributable to our early visit. There were all
the marks of femininity about the place. The
empowering trees were hung with hoop-skirts,
and Haunting articles, which looked in the
distance like abbreviated pantaloons. A
glance at the interior of their tents showed
magnificent disorder. Dimity and calico, silk,
feathers, and all the appurtenances of a female
boudoir were visible. 1t was a rara apis in
terra new bird in the woods.
These feminine voyageurs Were real CAM
paigners. The chivalry of the South ever So
lcitous for the sex, could not resist the inci-
nation for its society, and hence the camp of
nymphs by the river side, in the empowering
shade, ct cetera. | will not say much for
their fair fame, or for the good name of the
Confederate officers, whose baggage was
mingled in admirable confusion with the
rumpled dimity and calico, whose boots and
spurs hung among the hoop skirts and I'M
mentionables, and whose old hats ornament
ed the tent-poles or decked the heads of the
fair adventuresses. 1t was new feature in
war.
