The Chicago Tribune publishes an inter.
esting account of the battle by an officer who
was present. We makej the following ex.
tracts:
The enemy attacked US on Sunday morn.
ing, with force variously estimated by pris-
oners and others at from $4,000 to 10000.
We had at that time here about AZ, 900. Their
onset was furious, and they fought with great
persistence. Of course we suffered reverely.
The enemy gained possession of most of our
camps, and held them till yesterday morning.
They made most determined and obstinate
efforts to drive us from our interior position.
and get possession Of our Depot at the land
ing on the river. 1t was a severe, terrible
struggle. Nothing at Belmont or Donelson
can be compared to it fJr duration and con-
stancy of hard fighting. 1t was an open
field battle, with no artificial defenses; and l
knew from the spirit evinced by the rebels
that night could alone pat an end to the roar
of artillery and the tremendous volleys of
musketry, which would only occasionally lull,
to break out with renewed fury in short
time.
The scene is terrible. The ground is
strewn IN many places with the dead. some of
them frightfully mangled with cannon shot.
The artillery horses, too, were killed in great
numbers.
What our loss is can only be guessed at
present. think 1000 to 1900 killed on the
field "A 600 to 5000 wounded. g
This is very imperfect story of the great
est battle ever fought on this continent. We
have won great victory. The rebels ac-
Knowledge that their all is staked on the is
sue, and although we are not now in posses
sion of the prize we came here to seize, yet
the repulse of such an overwhelming force
in fair fight is of the utmost value. Our
troops fought with determined bravery, with
some sad and disagreeable exceptions. The
enemy was prompted to make the attack by
the desire to anticipate the arrival of Gen.
Buelrs army, and they may have delayed
somewhat the capture Of Corinth. They sent
away the Tennessee troops to the Gulf, and
brought up their best troops from there -
they have weakened many other points to
make this effort. We have fought their best
'roops in open field and beaten them.

The Treachery Of tho Rebel Gov.
EsIDm0mf.


ernment.
We are sorry, for the honor Of Americans,
to say that there has not been single re-
deeming feature exhibited by JEFF. Davis Gov
vernment since its organization. It perid'-
ously tramples under its feet the established
rules of wal, and ignores even the common
traits of ordinary honor. and humanity. Fro
Tossing to embrace in its society the very stite
of the country, there has not been dishon'
orable deed that could tend in the least to
promote the cause that has been left un-
done. Calling itself Christian Government
it has employed in its armies the relentless
cruel and blood-thirsty Indian. Priding IT.
self upon the civilized and enlightened state
of its people, deeds Of barbarity upon the
bodies of our dead soldiers have been per-
formed that would shame the veriest heather
that ever breathed. It has broken pledges
violated trusts imposed upon its own citi-
Gems, and robbed the country that has been
traversed by its armies.
Organized in murder, treason, theft ana
deceit, it has gone on for one year n the
course so conspicuously marked out at the
commencement.
1t is q well known fact that prisoners
among whom 10 Col. Oorcoran, have long
since been ransomed by the Federal Govern
ment, and their exchanges released, still Col.
Corcoran and his fellows are retained by the
traitors in violation of rule of war that ev'
cry civilized nation prides itsef upon obeying'
But the last crowning act of this miserable
Government is its Presidents proposition to
absolve all prisoners released by the Federals
of their oaths not to fight against the Gov
eminent of the United States. But it is evi-
dent that the history Of this diabolical Gov
eminent will be as short as it is internal. In
spite of all its vain boastings it is doomed,
and ruin, irrevocable ruin, will be the final end
of the States that compose it. Slowly, but
surely, the Union armies are advancing into
its territory, and before another spring is up
on us we shall have seen the end. And when
the war is terminated let there be such an
example made of the ringleaders as will de-
ter any more such exhibitions Of fallen hu-
manity on this continent as has disgraced the
nineteenth century.

him reverence. His integrity, his wisdom,

the army and civilians. He does not move
fast; but he moves strong and sure.

A writer in the Cincinnati Times des-
cribes regiment that no amount OF threats
and persuasions would induce to 60 into the
engagement, but refrains from designating it
as it will cast shadow upon the fame OF q
State hitherto noted for brave men. In con-
clusion the writer says the Ohio, Indiana,
Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin and some Of the
Iowa regiments fought like tigers. Some
of our citizens were under the impression
yesterday that the 18th Iowa Regiment was
the command referred to. Now as it is re-
ported in our dispatches that this regiment
suffered severely and that its Colonel was
wounded we have not the slightest suspicion
that the 18th did not do its duty.
1t is evident, however, that the reporter
referred to intends casting slur on Iowa.
What motive he has in throwing out this in.
uendo we cannot conceive. Iowa has thus
far stood head and shoulders above any
other State in the Union for brave soldiers,
as Springfield, Belmont, Donelson and Pea
Ridge amply testify.
We cannot allow even hint rejecting up
on our noble boys to pass by unnoticed, and
we suggest to this Ohioan that citizen Of q
State that has been more than once disgraced
upon the field of battle can put his pen to q
better use than casting reflections upon
the troops from State that has never had
shadow of reproach cast upon its fair escutch-
ion by the noble soldiers who represent it.

Prisoners from Dixie.

At Island No. 10 and at Pittsburg we have
got some 10000 more rebel prisoners, who are
to be provided for, 5000 at Camp Douglas,
5000 in Springfield, and 5000 at several
camps in Wisconsin. Capt. Potter, U. s.
Quartermaster for this district, has made
preparations for this number, aud will begin
to receive tour guests to-day. He was tele-
graphed by Gov. Harvey, yesterday, from
Paducah, that one Thousand prisoners for Wis
consin were on the way, 700 on the train and
800 by train Immediately following it,
They will pass through Chicago some time
to day, for Camp Randall at Madison. The
guard who came with them will remain until
other arrangements can be made, and it is
probable that the 10th Wisconsin regiment,
Col Landers, now in camp in Racine will be
detailed for guard duty. The 1900 for Camp
Douglas will be along early this week.-CAi.

GEN. Curtis AND GEN. S1aEL.-A writer in
the Missouri Republican, writing in defense
of Gen. Sigel, closes his communication with
the following authoritative contradiction of q
libel perpetrated and widely circulated against
Gen. Curtis, that he wanted to surrender at
the battle of Pea Ridge:
I avail myself of this writing to contradict,
on the authority of Gen. Sigel, that he was
ever present at a conference Of division COM
manders, at which "a surrender was serious
ly considered" at Pea Ridge; and | am salts
fed that this and other rumors and extrava
CANT statements which have gained currency
in the newspapers are as distasteful as they
are annoying3 to Gen. Sigel, and especially
is he displeased with all those contrasts
drawn between the German and the Ameri-
can, since it is his pride and honor to com
mand an army nearly equally balanced with
German and American, who are harmonious
in camp, and equally valiantin battle. If the
credit 10 claimed for either, injustice is done
to tho other.

ONE OF Nh. LINCOLN SToRrEs:-Some
gentlemen were in conversation with the
President the other day, and the future was
spoken of, and some inquiries made as to
what would be done with certain troublesome
questions that must come up. Mr.. Lincoln
replied that one time . company of Metho-
dist ministers were together, and were on
their way to some public meeting. As they
were on the point of departure, some one
came on with the alarming intelligence that
the bridge over the river they were to
pass had been carried away. How the COM
pany were to get across the river was the ex-
citing question. All but one engaged in the
discussion, and he was the most venerable
Of them all. At length he was appealed to
to know what should be done. He replied:
"Brethrcn, lam an old man. God has led me
into and through many trying scenes; but
long ago learned never to trouble myself
about crossing river till | came to it!'
This was told in the Presidents. inimitable
manner, and produced q profounder sensation
than many be tells.-Boston Journal. g-
