Latest from the West.

MEMPHIS, April 22.-Late accounts from
Missouri say that Gen. Siegel died Of
Pneumonia, at Keittsville, some days
ago.
The Louisville papers admit that Gen
Buell. arrived at the Tennessee Sunday
evening of the battle, and crossed the
river with his forces that night, and that
the whole were engaged in the fight Of
Monday.
Reliable accounts from Nashville say
that four thousand Kentucky troops have
quit the army and gone home in disgust,
on account of Lincolns abolition policy
There are nine thousand sick troops al
Nashville. The Federals are reported to
be moving their sick and stores from
the city.
Tremendous rains have fallen here for
the last four days; the country is flooded,
and land operations have become impos-
sible.
1t is believed that the Federal forces
'at Madrid have abandoned the place
and gone round up the Tennessee to re-
inforce the army in that quarter.

General. Price.

Some misrepresentation seems to exist
IN the public mind with reference to the
recent publication of the fact that Gen.
Price had resigned his commission as
Major General of the Missouri State
Guard. Many persons seem to think
that he has left the service entirely. By
the recent appointment of the President,
General Price has become a Major Gen.
eral in the Confederate service; and, hay
ing accepted this position. could not. of
course, retain his commission as Major
General Of the Missouri State troops. or.
ganized and acting as such. The Missou-
ri State Guard have, almost without ex.
ception, followed their General into the
Confederate service; and their gallant
leader now commands the same army he
has led since the commencement of the
war, but under new organization. Gen.
Price and the Missouri army will contin.
lie in the field until the independence of
'ur country shall be firmly established
md every enemy driven from our soil.

Too Many Generals.

The Federal government is troubled
with disease which it would be well to
be little more careful in avoiding in the
South. The Cincinnati Commercial says ::
Too Much PRoMoTloN. crop of
brigadier and major generals is entirely
too large. The President might as well
understand that all the horseback Off
GERS who smell gunpowder cannot be
made brigadiers, and all brigadiers who
look upon battle are not entitled to
maior-general's commission. Promotion
should be the distinguishing reward of
conspicuously meritorious services. They
are being bestowed much too promiscu-
ously The engagement at Fort Donel-
son was important and fortunate, but we
have not discovered any sufficient reason
why it should have resulted in four ma
jor- generals. 1t is very unfortunate to
fill up the higher ranks of the army in
advance of those displays of frstrate gen
eralship which the country SO passionate
~ longs for. 1t would have been we'll for
some time longer for brigades to be
by senior colonies, and di.
visions by senior brigadiers. Most I'M
luckily, there is reason to fear that too
much weight is still given at Washing
ton, in military as well as civil matters,
to personal importantly.

Horrible Dissertation.

The Nashville Patriot of the 18th says
We have been creditably informed that
some OF the United States troops were
yesterday rehearsing the skirmish drill
and going through other evolutions in
Mount Qlivet Cemetry. No pretext in
tho world can justify such a shameful
outrage upon the sacred feelings of the
citizens of Nashville as this. The flowers
and plants fourishing there are the sad
mementoes of many bereaved heart
perhaps the only comforts left to them
in the wide world is to nourish and pro-
tect them, hoping some day to make their
bed also beneath their verdant beauty
How cruel. then, to deprive us, when
thus situated, of this melancholy pleas
ure, when the whole world affords no
other. One must feel to know how deep
in the heart sinks an affection of this
character. We do not believe that any
gentleman in the army would tolerate or
let pass unrebuked such a disgraceful
proceeding as this. We hope that meas.
ures will be Immediately taken by the
proper persons to suppress and prevent
repetition of the offense.

Interesting Items.

We clip the following items of intelli-
gence from the Memphis appeal, of the
Goth ult.:
The Wounded al CoriaM.-But few of our
wounded are left at Corinth-the greater
portion of them having been removed 10
more comfortable hospitals than those at
headquarters, or taken home by friends.
A kind of neutral ground has been es-
tablished between the two armies, upon
which both armies have established host
pitfalls for the use of such on both sides as
were too severely wounded to be removed
from the battle ground. The surgeons
and nurses of both armies are allowed to
pass to and fro unmolested, SO that all are
as well cared for as is possible under the
circumstances.
Capt. Morgan Again.-On Thursday last
this partisan soldier accomplished another
feat, which resulted in the capture of
about fifty of the enemy. He was scout.
ing some eighteen miles from Corinth,
when he observed force of Federal cav
airy approaching. After suffering them
to pass he fell upon their rear and Dag
ged the whole party almost without a
struggle.

Startling Figures.

The debt of Lincolndom is SO vast that
the Yankees admit that unless they can
conquer and rob the South this Sprinn.
by July it will reach sl,000,OO0 ,OOO-
Very few people have an adequate idea
OF this sum. If it was in gold, allowing
two hundred and fifty dollars TO the
pound, it would be four millions of
pounds, or twenty thousand tons of two
thousand pounds each. If in silver, at
a dollar to the ounce, it would be sixty
two and half millions of pounds. If
carried on. drays, thousands pounds on
each dray, it would take $500 drays to
carry it. Suppose person could count
dollar each second and work six hours
each day-then it would take one hun
bred and twenty years to count it. If in
a pile of half dollars, allowing ten to the
inch, it would make pile over 3I56
miles high, or if laid down on line,
each an inch across, it would be nearly
seventeen thousand miles long People
Of the South, the enemy say you shall
Day this vast amount.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1862-05-02
Gen. Prentiss.

The Memphis Avalanche. of the 9th
inst, says that "among the prisoners
brought down last evening on the train
from Corinth, was Gen. Prentss, so long
the commander at Cairo" The Ava
lanche is informed that before leaving
Corinth, Gen. Prentiss made short and
feeling speech to those around him, de-
ploring the causes and calamities of the
war, and expressing the opinion that if
the Confederates are successful in the
struggle on the Tennessee, it will be the
last battle of the war.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1862-05-02
The Federal Tax Bill.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes that paper, as
follows:
The tax bill is an awful affair twill
raise an enormous amount of money or
destroy vast amount of business one
or the other. 1t will pass Congress.-
The public debt by the 1st of July ill.be
81 100000, 900. That is the calculation
OF the chief Auditor of the Treasury. /
think it is short of the reality. The pub
lie really know little of what is the true
condition of the finances. They will find
1t out hereafter, when they are called
upon to pay the interest of the public
debt. The principal, no person expects
will ever be paid. -
Z TAe samswriter adds. !.
AS ! have seldom failed in my predic
tions OF the future, as think your read
ers will bear me witness, l will now make
another; that this war will end in proc
lamation of the freedom of the slaves, and
the separation of the Cotton States from
the Union; or, in their subjugation, with
change of our constitutional form of
government.
lneed not write you about the present
Compassionate and House. Nothing
marks the decline of the Republic more
than the degeneracy of the bodies. There
is hardly a first class intellect in either
certainly no acknowledged distinguished
Statesman except Mr.. Crittenden, and
his age had placed him on the lowest
bench. The Republic has from the high.
est sunk to the lowest depth. God grant
that we may rise again.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1862-05-02
Savannah, Georgia.

The erroneous impression is generally
current that the occupation of Savannah
by the enemy, was matter of course af-
ter the fall of Fort Pulaski. But such
is far from the case. The defenses along
the river bank are said 70 be of charac-
ter sufficiently formidable to resist the
passage of the gunboats up to the city
Pulaski was not taken through the in
strumentality of gunboats, but by land
battery in the rear, which attacked its
weakest point with heavy ard improved
rified cannon, carrying steel pointed con-
ical balls. Confidence is still entertained
in our capacity to hold Savannah, as the
enemy will be compelled to do some
fighting on land before he can successful
ly assault and capture our river Bate
ries.

The Way to Fight Them.

The policy inaugurated by Gen. Ma
gruder, of fighting the Yankees WHEREBY
er they appear. without regard to num-
bers, says the New Orleans Delta, is evil
IDENTITY the true theory of conducting the
struggle from this time. The enemy
should not be allowed to make step for
ward without encountering bloody evil
dence Of the fixed and unalterable pur-
pose of our people to resist the intolera-
BILE yoke of oppression so exultantly pre-
pared for our subjugation. The wall of
mourning must be brought home to ev-
cry household in the North, and the re-
turned carcasses of their dead will in
struct them, ''trumpet-tongued," of their
fruitless attempt to foil people thorough
ly bent on being free. Gen. Magruder's
plan partakes of an intense hatred, COM
parable only to the man whose aversion
to snakes led him to kill them, though
they were inoffensively exhibited in the
menagerie; and when upbraided by the
keeper, replied, "D-n 'um, kills 'um
whenever sees 'um."

Soldiers ot'Mc Army Of tie Mississippi:
You have bravely fought the invaders

sition; fought your superiors in numbers,
in arms, in all the appliances of war
Your success has been great. His losses
have beenimmense -outnumbering yours
in all save the personal worth of the
slain. You drove him from his camps to
the shelter of his iron-clad gunboats,
which alone saved him from complete
disaster. You captured his artillery,
more than twenty flags and standards,
and took over three thausand prisoners.
r You have done your duty. Your CON-
.manding general thanks you. Your
countrymen are proud of your deeds on
the bloody field of Shiloh, and confident
in the ultimate success ofyour valor.
Soldiers, untoward events saved the
enemy from humiliation. His insolent
presence still pollutes your soil. His hos
tile flag still flaunts before you. There
can be no peace as long as these things
are.
Trusting that God is with us, as He was

Remember.

Let us all remember and keep before
the eyes and hearts of our defenders and
soldiers the stirring words of the last bat
tie order OF the generous and gallant
Johnston:
Remember the precious stake that is
involved in this contest; remember the
dependence of your mothers, your wives,
your sisters, and your children, is upon
the result.
Remember the fair, broad, Astounding
land, the happy homes and the ties that
would be dissolved and desolated by
your defeat.
The eyes and hopes of eight millions

OF the South, whose noble devotion in
this war has never been exceeded, at any
time.

Sir Walter scott's Opinion of a

In the second volume, page 80 Of

to invade England, says
Even If London had been lost w,
would not, under SO great calamity
have despaired of the freedom of tie
