The concentration of the Rebel army
at Cerintlisecms to have been determined
upotcon several grounds. - It is at the june-.
tion of .two important railroads—the
MeMphis and Charleston and the Mobile
and Ohio; it cOnurnmicates directly with
Memphis ; it covers New Orleans; it of
fers great facilities for the • transportation
and collection ofsupplies; -it is near the
Svcs - tiers of Tennessee, Alabama and Mis
sissippi ; and the hilly nature of - the apt.-
rounding country residers works of defence
easy of construction. Here the. Rebel
generals had concentrated an army of
from seventy to eighty thousand men ;
and here it,- •seemed 7 their determination
to await the attack of Grant and Buell,
in the hope that, behind their entrench
ments, they could defeat the Union Gen
< erals, and perhaps retrieve the fortunes of
of the war..
But finding Grant's- command, .of Me
- Clernand's - - Sherman's and Hutibures
Divisions, at Pittsburg Landing,thetemp;
tation was very strong to march - upon
then and overpower them, andif possible,
driYe them into the- river before knell's
expected reinthreements could arrive.—
• To_ this end,. the Rebel General, . John
- stun, moved forward in two coltinima,each
about thirty thonand stron, the lett one
directed-upon Purdy, a small town on the
Corinth and Columbus Railroad, and the
other on Hamburg a village a short dis
tance towards to-t , Northeast. Between
these two lay Pittsburg Landing, on the
•,Tenii - ozsee ; mid thus their plans were laid
to enclose Grant's Army on both flanks,
and make a Western Ball's Bluff.
Heir generalship was excellent, as
their fighting was -afterwards proved to
be, - yet both were defeated, and • their for
tunes are ten times as desperate as be•
fore.
Our troops occupied the field just be
yond Pittsburg Landing, on a line of!
from two tb three miles, hardly expect
irg the Rebel attack, but ready, upon
Buell's arrival, to advance upon Corinth. I
At day break of Sunday, the 6th, how-1
, ever. the Rebels were discovered- in ad
vance.on'our left, when Gei(eral Prentiss
sent three hundred men to drive in what
he supposed to be thciriiivanced pickets,
but whatin - reality was their vanguard ;
and thus the battle began. Prentiss wft-c,
for the time, overpowered by the storm
gralie-and (~ : mister which opened
npiin him. Grant formed his lines with
-11cUlernand on tlre la, W. T. Sherman .
in the centre, and Iluriburt on the right.
The tactics of the Rebel general Were
soon obvious: he made-a strong. effort to I
-pierce the Union centre,designintr, as soon I
as the wings were attracted to its support, !
.to throw masses upon both tanks, and
push grant into the_ri% cr.

on either ltle cannot be riven until`' we

—which latter has become so popular with
one shade-of Republicans.

passed the Rouse - on Friday by. a vote of
93 to 39. h. now goes to the ,President. I
It frees two or three thousand slaves at an
expense of $1,1C0,000.- It is designed by
.its mast ardent.advoeates.as anmenteriag

every where, and is therefore intended to
produce a marked effect on the South.
The Senate bill making negro• mail car
