The Battle at Pittsburgh.

CINCINNATI, April 10,
The Commercial has information from a
reliable man who left the battle ground on
Thursday evening.
He estimates our loss in killed at from / 200
to 1900, wounded $500. The rebels lost
more in killed than we did, but not so many
wounded About 1909 unwounded rebel
prisoners were taken and about 1900 wound
ed. . Up TO the time he left 2200 rebels had
been buried.
Our troops retook on Monday all the bat
teres lost IN Sunday, and captured twelve
pieces trom The rebels.
On Tuesday Gen. Beauregard sent flag
of truce requesting permission to bury his
dead, and saying owing to the heavy rein
forcements you received Sunday night and
Monday, and the fatigue of my men, | deem
ed it prudent to retire and not renew the
battle" . The permission was not granted
The bearer of the flag admitted Beauregard
had received slight wound in the left arm

THE CONTRAST.

Nothing can more Strikingly indicate
the relative difference OF the men and the
cause ON the Union and Rebel sides in
our great conflict, than the Christian
spirit, devotion to God and recognition of
Divine Government on one side, and the
levity, profanity and blaSphemy on the
other. "rhe conflict is TO be decided by
the sword of the Lord and of Gideon"
wrote Secretary Stanton, soon after enter
ing upon his office. "Give thanks to God
for the glorious victories" is the language
of the recent order of congratulation.-
"Render thanks unto our heavenly Fa-
ther for these inestimable blessings" says
the President in his touchingly simple
and beautiful proclamation, which should
be read from every pulpit in the loyal
States on Sunday.
Com. Foote goes from under the ruin OF
iron missiles to the pulpit to preach-Mc.
Clellan pauses upon the field to pray for
guidance from Heaven. Our rulers re-
cognize the power of the Almighty, and
in all their ways acknowledge Him. Be-
hold the contrast 81 will fight till hell
freezes over, and then give it to EN- on
the ice" was the exclamation of McCul
loch at Richmond-and after receiving
his fatal wound at Pea Ridge, the same
desperate gasped out-"The Yankee
bullet is not cast that will send me to hell!'
And at Corinth, the polite and educatad
Beauregard fired his troops by a speech in
which he told them he was going to water
his horse in the Tennessee river or in
hell-and that to lose the battle of Pitts
burg would be to go to hell The mind
is shocked by such blasphemes-and yet
what are they but natural concomitants OF
the barbarism which it is the purpose OF
this rebellion to maintain-the violation
! of every principle Of honor-the disregard
ofoT law, human and divine, the Brolong-
ed career o. rufianism and cruelty which
has lis other fruits in the manning Of the
helpless wounded, and the mutilation OF
the dead Z Side by side with the stand
ard of Liberty goes the white banner Of
Chri,tianity-and the victory of the one
is triumph for the other, Never was

portant work to do in the cause of right

Before Yorktown, April /

DclUTc IOThloWH, hpTu lo.
Yesterday morning about two o'clock, a
section of artillery was posted within half a
mile of the rebel works near the river, sup
ported by sufficient infantry to prevent their
being captured. Fifteen shots were fired in
to the rebel earthworks before they were
able to bri their guns to bear, when our
men withdrew without damage.
A fine view was yesterday obtained of the
position of the rebels both at Yorktown and
Gloucester from Fairchilds house at the
mouth of Wormlth's Creek.
Twenty-four guns were seen in the water
battery at Yorktown and nine at Gloucester
At the latter place large number of work
men were engaged in erecting new works.
At Yorktown the old works used during
the seige of 1880 were still visable and read
lily distinguished from those OF recent con.
structlon.
Heavy guns were mounted on their walls
and the rebel flag was flying from its battle
ments.
The principal wharf was covered witt
commissary stores, while the river was dot
ted with sails.
Every one appeared to be as busy as tho
the coming struggle depended upon his indi
vidual exertions.
Late in the afternoon schooner anchored
short distance above the wharf was burned

Camp before Yorktown, April Z, 1862,

Colonel RIPLEY was the hero of that day

letter. he having shot the rebel who Kill

admire the devotion he shows to his Regi-
ment, and the utter ignoring of self. "The

engaged the enemy as skirmishers. We
were the only troops engaged that day,
and held our position till nine at night
We were opposed to long ranges of rife
pits and strong forts, on which we kept
up constant fire all day, and they re-
turned it briskly. Late in the afternoon
our artillery came up and opened fire with
few guns first, to draw their fire and
see where they were. They returned
the fire of the artillery for a short time
till our sharp-shooters got the range,
when it became impossible for them to
load gun. We kept the large fort ST.
lent for two hours, when our artillery ha-
wing obtained all the information they
wanted withdrew. We lost in our regi-
ment three killed and six wounded. The
men behaved splendidly, and the whole
army rings with their praises. All the

anything done, and the men are very
proud Of it. The enemy's works are won.

The Navy Department has received dis
patches from Commodore Dupont, enclosing
a communication from Commander Gordon,
dated U. S. Steamer Mohcan, March SOth,
from which it appears that on the 7th ult.,

he entered Jekyll Creek and proceeded to
Dubiquous Place, where he discovered de-
serted battery of three guns, commanding
that stream, and the remains of camp Of
some 200 rebels

we needed, and that night, after again firing
shell or two at Fancy Bluff, proceeded to
st. Simonds.
There l landed all the contrabands, with
their corn and provisions, tools, &c., and hav-

they have planted potatoes. Tomorrow
they begin land for corn.

He JAoET, &c.-The following ex-
tracts from an article in the LynnsBay
State, whose editor, Mr.. Lewis Josselyn,
has been among the leaders # the De-
mocracy of Massachusetts, IS very decided
very true, and remarkably sensible:
AS much as we have loved, and as
strongly as we have been attached to the
old Democratic party-and as ardently
as we have desired its success and perpe-
tnity we are fort,,ad to the conviction that
it has had its day-that it Is dead and
buried past resurrection. 1t was more
wounded-it was killed in the house of its
friends. The assassins' hands were raised
against it at Charleston-it received the
fatal stab OF the traitors in Baltimore, and
q" the last presidential election it breath
ed it's last. One man only could have
raised it from the dead, and the Almighty
in His wisdom saw fit to take him to HIM
self. Some of the recreants who aided in
the murder, no seek to bring it to life
again. We will not join with them even
if they could rub out the bloody stain
from their hands,
We say then, for the present, at least
we desire to drop party and stick to the
the country and to Lincoln, whether a
portion Of his old political friends, those
who aided in his election, adhere to him
or.not. In fact their opposition to his
administration of the Government, in &C.
cordance with the principles of the Con
stitution, is an additional reason for Civ
ing him our cordial support, and prevent.
ing us from joining in any movement al
the present time, or any time, which
might throw obstacles in the way of the
success of his administration"

A flag Of truce went up to Craney Island
this afternoon, and brought back two Norfolk

A Richmond paper contains an editorial
exhibiting considerable fear for the safety Of
that city. 1t ntimatcS that the Monitor,
Naugatuck and Galena, all armor vessels,
might easily come up the James River and
by their invulnerable and powerful guns take
and keep possession of the city. To prevent
such, "a result, it proposes that the channel o
James River shall be obstructed by stone a

ing has been seen of her to-day.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1862-04-17

The London Times has an article on
the fight between the Merrimac and the
Monitor. 1t says sit is impossible to
overrate the importance of the lesson con-
tanned in the incidents of the late sea
fight between the Federal and Confeder-
ate squadrons. In this unexpected and
unparalleled engagement we get the first
real glimpse of new system of naval
warfare, and it will be our own fault if
we do not profit by the instruction afford
ed" And further, it remarks that "one
conclusion admits of no doubt whatever
and it happens to be the most important
of all. There is an end of wooden ships
forever, and the Americans are now re-
cognizing the fact to some purpose. Let
us hope that we may turn their teachings
to good account, and match them in the
efficiency, if not in the expensiveness, o.
our proceedings"
