WAR FACTS AND RUMORs.
Fort Pillow Captured by the Rebels.
HORRIBLE BUTClIERY OF UNION TROOPS

, .. .r.f CAIRO, ILL.,, April Ii.
On Tuesday morning Forrest attacked Fort
Pillow. Soon after tho attack Forrest sent
o flag OF truce demanding tho surrender of
tho fort and garrison, In the meanwhile 10
disposing his forces rs to take tho advantage
of our force. ~ IuIL
Major Booth, who commanded, refused the
Gag Of truce, and tho fighting was resumed.
Afterwards second flag came in, which was
also refused. Both flags gave tho rebels tho
advantage Of gaining rear positions.
The battle was kept up until 3r. ~, when
Major Booth WAS killed and Major Bradford
took command.
Tho rebels now made such furious attack
that our men were compelled TO surrender.
Immediately upon tho surrender scene en-
sued which battles all description. Up to
that time comparatively few OF our men had
been killed, but instantly on taking posses
sion Of the fort the iiends commenced nm in.
discrimcnate butchering Of the whites and
blacks, including those OF both colors who
had been previously wounded. Tho black
soldiers becoming demoralizcd marched to
tho rear, the white officers having thrown
down their arms.
Both white and black wero boyoneted, shot
or sabred even dead bodies were horribly
ufitiatcd, and children and several negro
women wcru murdered in cold blood; soldiers
unable to speak from wounds, were shot
dead and their bodies thrown into the river.
Tho dead and wounded negroes were piled in
heaps and burned, and several citizens who
had Joined our forces for protection were
killed and wounded. Out Of the garrison Of
600, but 200 remained alivo. !. ~.
Among our wounded officers OF colorcd
troops are Capt. Foster, Lieut.. Tibbetts and
Adjt Scanning. Six guns werc captured by
the rebels and carried OF. A large amount
Of stores was destroyed or carried OF. The
intention Of the rebels seems to he to move on
towards Mcmphis and cvacuatc tho place.

Congress.

Although in session for eighteen weeks
Congress has just begun to 80 to work in
earnest. We appreciate the necessity OF the
delay that must always accompany maturcd
legislation, but the dilly-dallyipgs. and the
dead and alive way Of cking out an exist
ence, Of the present Congress, is deserving
Of severe censurc. We are glad to see that
the press is speaking out upon this subject
and il the members, who are the cause oi
such remisness, will heed the murmurinSs
of the people, they may save themselves dis
comfitures hereafter. Just think Of 1.-THE
House of Representatives debates whole
week upon the question OF the worthincss oil
n member who declares in his seat that he
hopes our armies may be everywhere defeat
ed and tho .'Southern Confederacy" acknowl-
edged. and all the while the currency Of the
country is going down, down, down, for the
lack of necessary legislation, called for, and
prayed for by tho people Shade Of Andrew
jackson. why don't they expel tho traitor,
or keep still about it the weeks delay in
discussing the matter was Of more value than
the neck of every copperhead in the land.
Tho opposition papers are eagerly catch
ing up the sayings of Republican papers in
reference to the action of Congress, or rather
is want Of action, and charging the Repub-
lcan party with the folly Of this delay.
This is not all wrong, but it is to q great OK.
tent. The opposition members at this ses-
sion have been noted for their speech making
eagerncss, and the number Of dilatory mo-
tions brought forward to impede and embar-
rass legislation. Being in tho minority, and
miserable one ut that, they have acted as
though the highest duties pertaining to their
Office were to resort to making speeches and
to parliamentary tactics to staye of necessa-
~ action, until patience ceased to be vir.
tue, and the House ordered the previous
question. Thus Cox has sung the praises Of
Mcclellan and covered his already setting
fame with q sunset glow, going down amid
a halo of poetry and magniloqucnco thus
Sweat OF this District perspires ut every pore
over tho vast responsibilities which devolve
upon him in preserving the Democratic par
ty, and Fernando has had his turn at "prac-
ticing his woodland lays upon slender oatcn
Pipe" moro slender than that OF Tityrus,
whose refrain has been discord and disloyal-
ty, to say nothing of Brooks, Pcndleson,
Long, Harris, Holman, ct I'd omne genus.
We mention these things to set tho matter
right, but not to ease oft any responsibilities
lrom those from whom We had a right to cx-
pect more appropriate and energetic action.
One source of evil, and one which contrib
utes largely to prolong these sessions, is the
ruinous manner in which members are paid
by salary, and until this is rcmcdied VIC may
expect this state Of things to exist.
