GREAT battle AT PITTSBURG LANDING,
The Wyandot Boys in the Fight.
1T. J. M. POST KILLED.
PIrTsBURG LANDING, Tenn, !
April 10th 1862. {

L. A Drummer, Esq,-Dear Sir: The
great battle on the Tennessee has been
fought, and the federal forces have won a
glorious victory. The forces on both sides
were heavy. Ths battle commenced by an
unexpected attack of the rebels on Sunday
morning the 9th inst, about day light, with
tremendous rush and rally, upon our
troops, who were unprepared for the attack,
and the result was, the Regiments thus at
tackled, we're badly cut to pieces, and were
compelled to retreat in disorder and con
fusion But Gen Grant soon put our troops
in line of battle and planted our batteries in
position to suit the occasion and then the
battle become general throughout on both
sides.
Beauregard was in command Of the rebel
forces, and Gen. Grant of the federal forces.
The rebels fought desperately hard all day
on Sunday till dark, expecting to be able to
drive us into the Tennessee River or take
us all prisoners, and they came very near
doing it. Nothing saved us but the un-
fliuching courage Of our troops and good
management on the part of Gen. Grant
A great many of our troops were killed and
wounded on that day. Our Regiments
we're ordered into line Of battle quite early
in the day.

Lieut.. Joseph Post, Killed.

Through the politeness of our contem-

lay before our readers letter from Capt.
Tyler giving description Of the battle of
Pittsburg Landing. 1t will be seen that
Lieut.. Joseph Post, of Co. G. 8lst Regi

gb whilst cheering his men on in the
fight. Lieut.. Post was resident of this
village, from whence he accompanied his
company to the seat of war; and where he
has sealed with his blood his devotion to
CONSTITUTIONS. Liberty and the Union.
Before taking his departure, he led to

The great battle in Tennessee.

We do not wonder that the two houses
of Congress received the report of the
great Tennessee battle with unusual si-
lcnce"-a silence in contrast to the en-
thusastic outburst which subsequently
greeted Commodore FoorE's latest dis
patch from Island No. 10. The account
excites two contrary emotions-exulta-
ton and indignation
The heroic valor Of the soldiers in their
contest Of the FIRST day, against such tre-
mendous odds, makes every nerve tinge.
COP bless those dauntless hearts Hap
py the country that has such sons to de-
fcnd her Never, for any cause, was there
more gallant fighting than was done on
that terrible Sunday against the rebel
hosts The disproportion in strength
OH the rebel side was enormous--nearly,
if not quite, two to one. Our troops
were unintrenchcd, and had no advantage
in position. 1t was all an open-field en-
encounter. The desperate courage with
which the ground was contested through
that live-long day finds its best attesta-
ton in the unparalleled number of killed
and wounded on both sides :, Making all
allowance for tie natural exaggeration of
first accounts, it is still plain that no
such bloodshed has ever before occurred
on this continent. In no battle of Ma
-p.... owe did his unquailing legions suf-
fer more in proportion. We are proud to
be fellow -countrymen Of the men who so
unfiinchingly bore themselves through
the horrors of that day. We find Joy,
too, in the grand victory which the rein
forcements of the second day secured.
1t may probably be regarded as the deci-
sive stroke in the Southwest. 1t has ia
Ken from the rebels their ablest general,
and has SO badly cut rP and disorganized
their rank and sle that it Is doubtful
whether they will attempt to make stand
at Corinth or any other point. If before
they did not deem it safe, in their in
trenched position, to await the coming Of
our united columns, but must needs push
forward and give battle to portion, they
must be infinitely less prepared, after this
&c eat, to abide their combined advance.
No reinforcements, of any material ac-
count, can reach them. In all likelihood
they will have no alternative but to scat
ter, in the forlorn hope of again organi-
zing under more favorable circumstances
But we may be quite certain that they
will not recover from this staggering blow
For this result, as well as for the heroic
conduct of our soldiers, we may well re-
joice.
