No boats are allowed to leave here for
points below Columbus since the FIRST nows
of the Fort Pillow affair.
The attack on Paducah yesterday proved
to be mere raid Tor plumber, made by
about 900 men, who were shel!cd out by
the fort and gunboats. Alter occupying o
portion of the city in squads about an hour
they left, taking away number OF horses
and considerable plumber, and leaving be.
bind half dozen killed and wounded. No
one was hurt on our side.
Several guns captured by Forrest at Fort
Pillow were spiked before falling into bis
hands. The others were turned upon gun
boat Ne. Z, which, from the exhaustion oil
her ammunition, having fired some 300
rounds, was compelled to Withdraw. AL.
though only tin clad, she received but slight
injury.
Gen. Lee arrived and assumed command
at tic beginning Of the battle, previous to
which Chalmers directed the movements.
Forrest, with the main force, retired after
the fight to Brownsville, taking with him
the captured guns.
While the steamer Platte Valley lay un-
der nas OF truce taking on the wounded,
rebel officers, among the l. Chalmers, went
aboard, and some OF our cficers showed

Sr. LOUIS, April Is.
A correspondent Of the Union, who was
aboard the steamer Platte Valley at Fort
Pillow, gives even more appalling descrip-
ton of the fiendlshness of the rebels than
our Cairo dispatches. Many Of our wound
ed were shot 10 the hospital, the remainder
driven out and the hospital burned.
The morning after the battle, the rebels
went over the Asld, and shot the negroes
who had not died from previous wounds.
Many Of those who escaped from the
works and hospitals, who desired to be
treated as prisoners Of war, Is the rebels
sad, were ordered to fall into line, when
they were inhumanly shot down.
OF $50 colorod troops, not more than %
escaped massacre, and not an oficer that
commanded survives.
Gen. Chalmers told this correspondent
that although it was against the policy Of
bis government to spare negro soldiers and
their officers, he had done ell in his power
to stop the carnage. At the game time he
believed it was right.
another officer said cur white troops
would have been protected, had they not
been found on duty with negroes.
While the rebels sndeAvoScd to conceal
their loss, it was evident they suffered &C.
verely.
