THE FIGHT OF MONDAY.
At daybreak Gen. Wallace moved to the
attack upon the enemy's left, supported by
the Chicago battery. They advanced on the
double quick with loud hurrahs and charge
which made the the rebel column reel as if
struck by thunderbolt They quailed be-
fore the terrible onset and yielded the ground
they had occupied during the night. But the
enemy were in too great force to be routed
by one shock, even so staggering as that
They rallied and advanced, pouring terri
fc fire upon our advancing forces. Genera
Wallace, gallantly leading his men, was
wounded at an early hour of the morning
and the division losing its leader was forced
to retire for the moment. The action soon
became general along the line. The roar Of
artillery was continuous and terrible. AT
intervals the musketry joined, shaking the
earth with thunder peals, darkening the sSn
with smoke and strewing the ground with
dead. In addition to MitchelPs division on
the left was that of Gener al Nelson. These
troops, which had formed portion of BuelPs
army, after a winter of inaction, at last stood
before the enemy. Some of them had been
at Mill Spring and they we're eager to move
to the attack. Not less gallant than their
comrades on the right wing, under Wallace
they advanced upon the enemy, while the
batteries in the center played right and lef
and in front, supported on either hand and
rear by the masses Of infantry.
No pen can describe the scene, the delib.
crate advance, the close holding of the
ground, the contesting Of every inch, the fear
ful slaughter, the brave determination, the
surging of the dense masses Of men, the

the Democrat from Cairo says Two Union
men reached here from New Orleans today.
They left that city % the 26tb, and by
careful travelling were enabled to get off in
safety.
Both spent the winter in New Orleans,
where the greatest excitement and distress
prevail.
The approaches to the city on the south
are pretty we'll defended. On the north
the Notifications run back from Carrollton.
The only persons in the city not regular
ly enlisted are Germans and Jews.
The city is also full of secret Union
clubs. 1t is said at least that $4,000 of the
citizens belong to clubs.
The condition of things is no better in
Memphis. The appeal advocates the
burning of the city as last resort in case
of attack, but the mayor issued procla .
nation that any person detected in setting
fire to property should be Immediately
hung.

FINANCIAL NEWS.
MILWAUKEE, March S.-The offerings of ex.
change are light, but about equal to the de-
mand, and rates are steady. The demand for
money Is also limited, and for the first time for
many months under the ability of our banks to
supply it. Treasury notes are in better re.
quest, and cannot be bought for less than }
premium. Dealers will pay s@4 for them
The probable deIeat of the supposed law sus-
pending specie payments will have a tendency
to keep Treasury notes at a premium here, as
the banks will need to have considerable
amount Of them on hand in the event of
their being called upon to redeem their cur
rency.
CHICAGO, March S.-.-New York Exchange

that offered at par, and some of the smaller
houses were glad to get supply at fraction

This morning the conflict was renewed,
until the presence of the Monitor was
known to the Merrimac, the latter engaged
with the Minnesota. and but for the iortu>
nate arrival OF the Monitor the Minnesota
might have been lost.
The Monitor and Merrimac engaged
each other for two or three hours without
perceptible effect upon either.
They went along side of each other once
or twice, and seemed almost to run each
other down, but they soon appeared again
to renew the action
The Ericsson battery finally succeeded in
forcing long hole in tie port side of the
Merrimac, ard she retired with the whole
naval feet to Norfolk.
At about one O'Clock the United States
gunboat Oregon was struck by the Merri-
mac on her boiler and was blown up this
morning.
The United States gunboat Zouave was
also severely damaged and obliged to re-
turn.
The principal loss of life was on board
the Cumberland, where it is thought as
many as one hundred and fifty men must
have been killed or drowned.
But six lives were lost on board the Min.
nesota, according to the report of one Of
her officers.
A rebel gunboat was cut in two yester-
day by the Cumberland.
The Minnesota is understood to have
been under command of Commander Bu.
chanan, late OF the Navy Yard.
