Letter from Nashville, Term. SERENADE TO GOVERNOR JOHNSON. ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION. Speeches ot Governor Johnson, lion, Mr. Elheridge, nnd lion. Mr. Muynard. Nashville, March 14, 1852. A serenade was tendered Governor Johnson last evening, and, after the saucy tune of Yankee Doo dlo had been discoursed by the band, the patriot appeared upon the balcony of Hie St. Cloud Hotel, in response to tho notice. Although Mr. Johnson commenced in a manner which would suggest an early retiring, one hour and a half elapsed before he closed bis speech, and then amidst the cries of “goon" by an enthusiastic congregation. Tho evening was remarkably balmy and clear, tho streets quiet, and the speaker’s voice, uttering words which amazed many and pleased all, could be distinctly heard the distance of an eighth of a mile. No demonstration was apparent but of an absolutely national character. Gov. Johnson reviewed the terrible events con nected with Secession generally, but particularly in the case of the State of Tennessee. He spoke of the great injustice which had prevailed in his own portion of the State —in his own family; and the remarks so touchingly made in connection with the name of Andrew Jackson, whose ashes are within a short distance of tho city, occasioned the most ’profound silence and reverential awe. He interrogated, “Why have I been persecuted?” and answered, “Because I have maintained my in tegrity, violently opposed the corrupt men who have dared to endeavor to destroy tho Constitution of the United States —tbe best country tho world ever saw.” He spoke of the last Presidential cam paign—how he had been betrayed by Breckinridge —and, in deep, emphatic tones, declared that ho could never be deceived by him again. In speaking of the slavery question, Mt. Johnson informed the people that those who took up arms against the country and its Constitution wero not only fighting against the protection of slavery, but actually undermining tho institution. In conclu sion, he called upon the people of Tennessee to once more conform to the requisitions of the country’s laws, lay down their arms, and return to their alle giance, remarking that treason must be crushed, and traitors must be punished! After Mr. Johnson retired, loud calls were made for Mr. Etheridge, who shortly appeared upon the balcony, and spoke for nearly half an hour. Mr. Ethcridgo was very severe upon all whohad been instrumental in crushing freedom in Tennessee; and his description of Harris leaving the State pro duced much amusement. Mr. Maynard also appeared before tho as semblage, and in most dignified and statesman like manner told tbe people of, and described to them, tho error of their ways; and, speaking of the young men who were engaged in the service of the robcl army, condoled with them, and boseoohed them to “ Repent and be forgiven.” After Mr. Maynard had ceased speaking, the band struck up the “Star-Spangled Banner,” and tho crowd retired amidst great rejoicing. The mails are in Buch a complicated state that I am obliged to postpone further notice until to morrow, when yon may look for something relative to matters and things in Nashville. S.

The monotony of life at Oid Point was broken last evening by the news that Gen. Burnside had taken Newborn, The Intelligence, laconic as it was, created a groat sensation here, but your cor respondent connected with the expedition will send you full particulars of the fight. The battle is said to have been a hard-fought one. The body of Louis Groesle, bugler of Co. E., N. York Twentieth Regiment, who died a day or two since, was escorted to the boat yesterday afternoon with military honors, and conveyed North. Tbe New York Twentieth Regiment went out on a reconnoissanoe yesterday. They met the enemy two thousand five hundred strong, with six pieces of artillery. The Secesh fired a few shots, but, as usual, nobody was hurt. Major Vegesach com manded the expedition. A shell fell and exploded within a few feet of him without appearing to have occasioned him the least astonishment. Sewell’aPoint was shelled to day from the Saw yer gun on the Rip Raps. About ton shots were fired, all but two or three taking effect. Senator MeDougall, of California, is hero. Photography is getting to be as popular an insti tution in camp as the newspaper. It is a grand mistake to imagine that fighting men have no ap. predation of the fine arts. Almost every soldier has ft latent propensity to send the folks at home a counterfeit presentment of his humble self, tricked off in uniform. The cavalry man (or cavalier) must needs send a picture not only of himself, but likewise his horse, with a plentiful supply of fodder for a comfortable background; while the artillerist will insist on showing the glory of his taking off” with a monstrous big cannon, which makes himself monstrously insignificant. A photographic establishment has been erected at Newport News, under the charge of Mr. Ross, who revels in the sobriquet of “ Major.” A large steamer, supposed to be the Constitu tion, from Ship Island, is bound in. The IV. Whilldm* whose boiler was exploded in the late naval fight, has been repaired, and is back again. The Keystone State is hero. She is taking a mail for these places along the coast where the Union army has obtained a foothold. St Patrick’s Day in the Camps. The Scene in Alexandria—General McClel lan's Headquarters—The Headquarters of General Franklin —A View from Seminary llUl—Hew St. Patrick's Hay was Celebra ted, [Special Correspondence of The Press.] Alexandria, March 17, The scenes presented in this ancient town are by turns stirring, melancholy) and ludicrous. Herein some of the oldest and best families «f Virginia made their homes, and the desolate mansion of the great Father of the Bepublio is almost within sight of the city. I con see Arlington House from the hill wheieon I stand, and notice in the town beneath me a hundred sumptuous and elderly edifices from which the nobility of the Old Dominion have been exiled for their political sins. They have gone afar off ; tne Iluns have overrun their vineyards and despoiled the inheritances of their children. Here, at the outskirts of the town, is a fine old brick mansion, with what was once a broad green lawn sloping down to the street. Silver maples of twenty years' growth grow close and shadowy around the dwelling; but the bats and all manner of estrays are the sole occupants; not a window or a door remains to open hospitably to the stranger as of old, and the very floors of the domicile havo been torn sway and burned *n the camp-fires of the enemy. The shining barb of the maple trees has been gnawed by cavalry horses, of the fences not a vestige remains, and the lawn is out into slimy ruts, as if by ploughshares, with a hundred artillery wagons. I forced my horse up the almost impassable car riageway, and thrust his head through a ruined window. The roof was full of gaps; the rafters were charred, as if by an incendiary, and looking down ilto the atanneh cellars, hallowed, perhaps, 6f old, by choice wineß and fat larders, a green pond of stagnant water mirrored the desolation above and around it. Here families had been nurtured, loves had been oherished and consummated, and the vanished aisles bad rang with laughter and dancing, I rode to the headquarters of Geueral McClellan, a cosy fann house on a hill top. Here are pay masters, quartermasters, commissaries,.and briga dier generals havo quarters. Forago op every de scription surrounds the house; teamstex, como lumbering through the rente In the garden fence, and discharge their burdens under the apple tree boughs in the orchard. A few rods to the west stands Fairfax Theological Seminary, now a hos pital, a noble building, with wings, dormitories, and ohapeis. A lofty cross surmounts the cupola, and where tuitions wore made in the quiet mysteries of religion, lives now go out in pain, and the wounded and diseased toss and tremble in the agonies of death. I called on General Franklin, whose headquarters are made in a famous boarding school, a little to the west of the seminary. He ocoupied a room, where, if gossip be true, Jackson, the murderer of Ellsworth, was located in his school days. Thus, war baa put its foot upon a thousand reoollections. In the clear sunlight of to-day I stood upon Se minary Hill, and looked upon the ground that is to be hißtorio. The Capitol, the same which six hun dred thousand men volanteered their lives, to peril which half as many Steeped to perjury and mur- PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1862. der, lay just across the river ini the reddening after noon. Tbe monument to Washington lifted its stumpy shaft against the hills, and the great dome of the Capitol was purely and beautifully white. A hundred etoam transports lay in the river; half 118 many clusters of white tents stretched along Ar lington Heights; a score of forts bristled upon as many hill tops, and the foreground was ft confused plain of wagons, mules, artillery, and men. The pregnancy of the time and the power of the Go vernment was here revealed at a winkfull»as never, for all ages, it shall be again. What other genera tions shall only read l had seen! St. Patrick's day was celebrated in the camps much after tho usual fashion. More drunkenness I never saw ; for, despite the vigilance of the prnvosfc marshal, tho men contrive to get liquor. Every other store in Alexandria contains it, every other traveller over the Long Bridge or by steamboat brings it. The soldiers peril every interest to ob tain it, and intoxication is not confined to the men; it extends to the officers. Coining into Alexandria to-night, tho scenes were frightful. Groups of fallen men would be seen literally entangled with each other* hopeless* ly, insensibly, irretrievably drunk. Hero would come u stalwart fellow, flourishing a pistol, and there a trooper, goading his hor3e to agony and threatening to ride down every pedestrian. Two Soldiers would drag their comrade through the mud, themselves scarcely a whit soberer, and the guard patrols came up from Alexjmdria with half a regi ment of inebriates. Profanity is tho vernacular of ft soldier. I heard it ta'dny m its intensity, Rnd verily believe that everything ill its turn was at one time or aDothor damned in mere wantonnoss. Happily, these things are soon to end. With peace we shall recover and be recovered, for tho most philosophic and cheerful imagination will hare be put to tho test to see in a campaign either the physical or tho moral elevation of the citizen. THE BATTLE AT NEWBERN. FULL PARTICULARS. THE DARING BRAVERY OF OUR TROOPS. Gallant Conduct of ;i Pennsylvania Regi- DESCRIPTiON OF THE REBEL DEFENCES, ££N£ftAL BURNSIDE CONGRATULATES HiS We yesterday published a short synopsis of the General Burnside victory at Nowborn, North Curo lina. We now lay before our readers a detailed account of tbe battle. Boforo sailing from Roa noke, General Burnside issued an order dated 12th inst., in which he informed them of the advat.ee and occupation of Mnna.ms by General McClelland army, and called upon them to bear themselves bravely in the coming battle at Newborn. Tho fleet leftßoanoke Island at 7 o’clock on tho morning of the 12th, and at 8 P. M. on tho samo day an chored at a place about twenty miles up the Neuso river. Tbo tTOops wero landed under cover of tho gunboats at tho mouth of Slocum creok, about twelve miles bcluw Newborn by water and seven teen by land, on the 13th inst. The troops were rapidly formed into order, and the instructions were sent by the Commanding General to his sub ordinates ; but night coining on, the troops were forced to bivouac for the night, so as to give them rest to prepare for the conflict of the ensuing day. On the March. The correspondent of the New York Tribune tells the rest of the story as follows : At six o’clock on the 14th inst., all the generals were in their saddles, and at seven the columm was in potion, Xho column of General Reno, on the railroad, was the fir9t to move, the Tweafcy-fir3t Massachusetts, as the right flank regiment, leading the advance. (In its appropriate place I would here mention that Reno’a brigade bivouacked along* side the track, two companies of tbe Twenty-first having been thrown out ag pickets,} The regiment had not proceeded far before, on turning a curve in tbe road, they saw a train of cars, which had brought re-mforeements to the enemy, standing on the track. In front of the locomotive, cm a plat form car, had been a large rifled gun, which was evidently to be placed in position to rake the road. Our men, however, advanced at the double-quick, and poured in a volley with such accuracy of aim that the enemy, who had already rolled the gun and caisson oil' the oar, did not stop to uuload the carriage, but ran into the entrenchments, and the train-was backed toward Newbei-n, louring the platform-car standing on the traok. The Twenty* first had got within short range before discovering the formidable nature of the exemy’s earthworks, but now fell back, and, forming line of battle in the woods, opened fire. The Fifty-first Now York was moved to tbo left and ordered forward to engage a series of redans, the Ninth New Jersey occupying the leftof the line, and the Fifty'first Pennsylvania held in reserve, in the rear of the Ninth, a little to the left. The Battle. Meanwhile Oon. Foster's brigade had advanced up the main road to the clearing, when the Twen ty-fourth Massachusetts were sent into the woods to the light of the road, and opening a heavy fire on the enemy, commenced the action of the First Bri gade. The Twenty-seventh were sent to their left to support them, and news being received that the enemy were trying to outflank us on the right, the Twenty-fifth were sent to resist the movement. The Twenty-third being moved to the front next in line of battle, opened fire upon the enemy, which was replied to by very heavy volleys, and a cannonade from a park of field pieces behind the breastwork. The very fiigt qappon-'&hot killed Lieut. Col Henry Merritt, of the Twenty*third, the ball passing through his body. As he fell ho threw up his Arms and said, u Oh dear! Oh dear 1” Gen. Fos* teris line of battle was completed by moving the gallant Tenth Connecticut to the extreme left, to a position where they had to fight under the most discouraging disadvantage. The ground was very wer, swampy, and cut up into gullies and ravines, which mostly ran toward the enemy, and, of course, while offering no protection from his fire, exposed them on elevations and in valleys. The regiment had shown, at Koanoko, however, the behavior of veterans, and nothing else could have been ex pected at this time but that they would stand their ground to the last. General Parke’s brigade, which had followed the First brigade up the main road, was placed in line between the Tenth Cpnne?Hsut and Twenty-first Massachusetts, the Fourth Rhode Island holding the right of line, the Eighth Connecticut the next place, the Fifth Rhode Island next, and the EJevcnth Connecticut on the left. Our line of battle wa9 now complete, the Twenty*fourth Mas sachusetts on the extreme right, and the Fifty-first Pennsylvania at the extreme left, and extended more than a mile. The naval battery was in po sition at our centre, with Captain Ucnnett's and Captain Dayton’s rifles alongside, and were all worked with the greatest gallantry throughout the, day . The officers in charge of the pieces, without exception, I believe, displayed perfect coolness, and stood by their guns, in some cases, when a Bingle man was all the assistance they had to work them. This was the case with Acting Master Ham* monel, of the Iletzel * and Lieut. T. w. 6 Hughes, of the Union Coast Guard, the former losing every man. and the latter all but one. The few hours which have elapsed since the battle have not per mitted my seeing the naval officers in person, to ob tain particulars of their part of the aotion, and a complete list of killed and wounded. It was my fortune to assist Lieut. Hughes to a trifling extent after he was wounded, and I can testify to the coolness with which he bore his injury. Acting master Hammond lost both his shoes iu the tena cious clay of the road, and for several hours was compelled to walk iu stocking-fect through mud and mire. The battle had waged for something less than an hour, when the Twenty*first lost one of its noblest officers, in the person of Adjutant Frazer A. Stearns, the young man who bore himself so bravely in the difficult and dangerous charge on the right of the tnemy’g battery on Roanoke Island. Poor Stearns received a bullet in his right breast, and fell dead in Ms place. Ho was the son of the president of Amherst College, and possessed the love of his commanding officer,’ and the whole regiment. Lieut. Colonel Clark, who is in command of the Twenty-first, was affected to tears when relating the circumstances of his untimely death, for he felt almost the love of a father for the young man. The fire of the enemy was now telling so severely upon the Twenty-first that Col. Clark ordered the regiment forward on a double-quick, and, at the head of four companies storing the breastworks from the railroad track, in company with General Reno, the colors were taken into a frame house, which stood there, and waved from the roof. The men at the nearest guns seeing the movement, abandoned tbeir pieces and fied, and, the four com panies being formed again in line of battle, charged down the line upon the battery. Col. Clark mount ed the first sun and waved the colors, and had got as far as the second, when two full regiments emerged from agrovo of young pines, and advanced upon our men, who, seeing that they were likely to be captured or cut to pieces, leaped over the para pet, find retired to their poßiUon in tho woods. At this time Capt. J. D. Frazer, or Company H, was wounded in tho right arm, and dropped his sword, but, tsking it in his left band, he attempted to es cape with his company, fell into the ditoh, and was taken prisoner, and dragged inside again over the parapet* A guard of three men wos placed over him. his sword was taken, but his revolver being overlooked, ho seized tho opportunity offered by & charge of the Fourth Rhode Island, and, by the judicious display of his pistol, capturod all three of his guard. On being driven from the battery, Col Clarke informed Col. Rodman, of *be Fourth Rhode Is land, of the state of affairs inside, and that officer, unable to communicate with Gen. Parke in the con fusion of the fight, acted upon bis own responsi bility, after consultation with Lieut-Lydig, one of the ceneraFs aide, and decided upon a charge with the D&y&net. As th& Fourth wtu» one of the most prominent regiments in the aotion, it will be well to go book a little in our narrutive, and traoe them up to that point. Tbeir position in the line of battle, as ordered by Gen. Parke, was in front of a battery of five guns, and the rifle-pits or redans which were situated immediately in the rear of and protected the right flank of the main battery of nine guns. Until the charge was decided upon by Col. Rodman, the regiment had been firing, like the rest of the line, by companies and otherwise. When the command was given to charge, they went at the double-quick directly up to tfc6 battery, firing as they ran, and entering at the right flank, between a brick-yard and the end of the parapet. When fairly inside, the Colonel formed the right wing in line of battle, and at their head oharged down upon the guns at double-quick, the left wing forming irregularly, and going ns they soqld, With a steady ikie of cold steel, the Rhode Islanders bore G. A. T. FORCES. down upon the enemy, audi routing thorn* captured the whole battery, with its two flags, and planted the Stars and Stripes upon the parapet Tho Eighth Connecticut, Fifth Rhode Island, and Eleventh Connecticut, coming up to their support, the rebels fled with precipitation, and left us in un disputed possession. General Reno's brigade were still attacking the redans and small battery on tho right of tho rail road, and the firing was very heavy. The Twenty first was engaging the battery of fivo small pieces, the Fifty-first Now York tho first of tho redans, tho Ninth Now Jersey the next two, and the Fifty first Pennsylvania were still in reserve. Lieut. Col. Robert B. Potter, of the Fifty-first New York, when in advance with Captain Hazard’s company of skirmishers, was shot through tho side and fall, hut, making light of tho wound, ho got his Servant to put on a bandage, and, in a few minutes, had re turned to his place and was cheering on his men. The regiment was drawn up in a hollow, or ravine, from which they would move up to the top of the eminence, discharge their volleys, and retiro to such cover as tho inequalities of tbe ground might furnish. General Rono, becoming impationt at tbo loss of life which his regiments, and particularly Col. Ferrero’s was suffering, wished the regiment to adv&noe as soon as possible, so Lieutenant-Col. Potter took a oolor over the brow of the hill into another hollow, apd from here charged up an ac» clivity and over brushwood and abattia into the redan. The 5Ut Pennsylvania, for along time hold in reserve, was ordered up to participate in tho de ceive charge of the whole brigade upon the line of redasa. and passing through the 51st Now York, ns it was lying on tbs ground after having exhausted all its ammunition, came under the heaviest fire, and without flinching or wavering moved to its place, ard with the other regiments, upon the defences of tbe enemy. The movement of Col. Hartranft’s reginient was executed in the moat de? liberate manner, and proved a complete suceesi. Tbe movement of the Third Brigade was support ed by a charge of the Fonrth Rhode Island, from the captured main battery, upon tbe works which wore and the enemy, already demo raliaetj .by the breaking of (heir centre, fell back before the .grand charge upon tbe left and front of their position, and fled in confusion. On tbe ex treme right, the brave Twonty-fourth, and its sup porting regiments, had been advancing inch by icnb, standing up against the enemy’s musketry and cannonade without flinching, and at about tbe time when Iho Fourth Rhodo Island charged in at the right flank tbe colors of the Twenty- fourth were plantFd on tbe parapet at the left, nnd the whole of the First Brigade poured into the fortification. The whole line of eaTthworkajr&s now in our hands, and tbe cheers of our men, from one end of it to the other, broke out with fresh spirit as eaoh new regi mental color WBS unfurled on the parapet. While ati tho regiments engaged in the battle are deserving of high praise for their steadiness under fire, the spirit with which they surmouatod the most- formidable obstacles, and the fidelity with which they obeyed the commands of their gonerals, cerhun regiments, by the peculiarity of tbbir distri bution, perhaps, wero made more prominent for their gallantry. These wero the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts, Fourth Rhode Island, Tenth Con necticut. Twenty-first Massachusetts, and Fiftv-first New York. "When the charge of the Fourth Rhode Island had been made, and tbo colors wero carried along Ibe wliolo length of the main battery, General Burnside asked some one what regiment that was. On being told the Fourth Rhode Island, he said, u I krew It, It was no more than I ex pected. Thank God, the Nbwbbrn, March 15, 1862.

Gknekatj : I have the honor to report that, after embarking the troops with which I intended to at? tack Newbern, in conjunction with the naval force, on the morning of the 11th, a rendezvous was made at Hatter&s Inlet. Flag Officer Goldsborough having been ordered to Hampton Roads, the naval fleet was left in com mand of Commodore Rowan. Early on tbe morning of tbe 12th the entire force started for Nowbern. and that night anchored off the mouth of Slocum’s Creek, some eighteen miles from Newbern, where I had decided to make a landing. The landirg commenced by seven o'clock the ll&Xt morning, under cover of the naval fleet, and wns effected with the greatest enthusiasm by the troops. Many, too impatient for the boats, leaped into tho water, and waded waist deep to the shore, and then, after a toilsome march through the mud, tbo bead of tbe column marched within a mile and a half of the enemy’s stronghold at eight P. M., ft distance of twelve mites from the point of landing, where we bivouacked for the night, the rear of the column coming up with the boat howitzers about three o’clock next morning, the detention being caused by the shocking condition of the roads, con sequent upon the heavy rain that bad fallen during that day and the whole of tho bight- the men often wading knee deep in mud, and requiring a whole regiment to drag the,eight pieces which had been landed from the navy and our own vessels. By signals agreed upon, the naval vessels, with tbo armed veasels of my force, were informed of oiir progress, and wero 'thereby enabled to assi3t us much in our inarch by shelling tbe road in advance. At daylight, on tbe morning of tho 14th, I ordered an advance of tho entire division, which will be understood by the enclosed pencil sketch. General Foster’s brigade wa3 ordered up the main county road to attack tho enemy’s left. General Reno up the railroad to attack their right, and Goneral Parke to follow General Foster, and attack tho enemy in front, with instructions to support either or both brigades. I must defer, for want of time, a detailed account of the action. It is enough to say that, after an en gagement of four hours, wo succeeded in carrying a continuous line of field work of over a mile in length, protected on the river flank by a battery of thirteen heavy guns, and on the opposite flank by a line of redoubts of over a half a mile in length for riflemen and field pieces, in the midst of swamps and dense forests, which line of work was defended by eight regiments of infantry, five hundred caval ry. and three batteries of field artillery, of six guns each. The position was finally carried by amoßt gallant charge of our men, which enabled us to gain the rear of all the batteries between this point and Newbern, which wns done by a rapid advance of the entire force up the main road and railroad, the naval fleet meantime pushing its way up the river, throwing their shot into the forts and iu front of us. The enemy, after retreating in great confusion, (throwing away blankets, knapsacks, arms, il'C.,) across the railroad and county road bridges, burned the former, and destroyed tbe draw of the latter, thus preventing further pursuit, and causing de tention in occupying the town by our military force, but the naval force had arrived at the wharves, and commanded it by their guns. I at once advanced Gen. Foster’s brigade to take possession of the town by means of tho naval ves sels which Commodoro Rowan had kindly volun teered for the purpose. The city was set on fire by tho retreating rebel* in many places, hut, owing to the exertions of the naval officers, the remaining citizens were induced to aid in extinguishing the flames, so that but little harm has been done. M&ny ef the citizens are now returning, and wo are dow in quiet po. B se. c sion of the city. We have capiurcd the printing press, and shall at once issue a daily sheet. By this victory our combined force have cap tured eight batteries, containing forty-six heavy guns; three batteries of light artillery of six guns each —making in all sixty four guns; two steam boats, and a number of sailing vessels; wagons, horses, a large quantity of ammunition, commissary and quartermaster’s stores, forage, and the entire eompequipage of the rebel troops, $ large quantity of rosin, turpentine, cotton, Ac., und over two hun dred prisoners. Our loss thus far ascertained will amount to ninety-one killed and four hundred and sixty-six wounded, many of them mortally. Among these are some of our most gallant officers and men. The rebel is Severe, but not so great as our own, being effectually covered by their works. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the officers and men for their untiring exertion and unceasing patience in accomplishing this work. The effecting of the landing and the approach to within a mile er.d a half of the enemy’s works on the 13th, I con sider as great a victory as the engagement of the 11th. Owing to the difficult nature of the landing, our men were foroed to wade ashore waist-deep, march through mud to a point twelve miles distant, bivouac in low marshy ground, in a rain storm, for the night, eDgage the enemy at daylight in the morning, fighting them for four hours amid a dense fog that prevented them from seeing the position of the enemy, and finally advancing rapidlyover bad roads upon the city. In the midst of all this, not a complaint was heard; the men were only eager to accomplish their work. Every brigade, find in fact every regiment* and I can almost say every officer and man of the force landed, was in the engagement. The men are all in good spirits, and, under the circumstances, arc in good health. I beg to say to the general commanding that I have under iny command a division that can b® relied upon in any emergency. A moro detailed report will be forwarded as soon as I receive the brigade returns. The brigadier generals, having been in the midst of their regi ments whilst under fire, will be able to give me minute accounts. I beg to say to the general commanding the army that I have endeavored to carry out the very minute instructions given me by him before leaving Annapolis, and thus far events have been singular ly coincident with his anticipations. I only hope that wo may, in future, be able to carry out in de tail the remaining plans of the campaign; the only thing I have to regret is tho delay caused by the elements. I desire again to bear testimony to the gallantry of ‘•our naval fleet, and to express my thanks to Commander Rowan, and the officers under him, for their hearty and cheerful co-operation in this m6ve ment; their assistance was timely, and of great service in the accomplishment of our undertaking. I omitted to mention that thore was a large ar rival of reinforcement of the enemy in Newbern, during the engagement, which retreated with the remainder of the army by the cars and tlie country roads. I have the honor, General, to bo your obedient servant, A. H. Burnside, Brig. Gen. Commanding Department N. C- THE BATTLE OF PEA RIDGE. HOW FOUGHT AND HOW WON INDIAN ATJtOUITUJS THE REBELS SCALPED BY THEIR ALLIES. Tbi special OOrTeslpOfident 6f IK a Cincinnati Times gives a lengthy account of the battle of Pea Ridge. The material portions ol his letter axe con densed below: diameter of the Battle-ground. Before describing tho battle, it will probably fa cilitate the comprehension of your readers to know the nature of the and the situation of tho ground on whioh the engagement occurred. Ben ton county is called, in Arkansas, quite fertile, though its appearance does not indicate it. nor do I believe it would bo so regarded in another State. It is rough and hilly, often rocky, the soil being, ge nerally, of a clayey character, and covered in many places with small trees, such as are known here about as black jack and post-oaks, with occasion ally larger timber. The two principal readß are from Keetsvillo to Fayetteville, and these at various points are well adapted by nature for strong dofenoes, furnishing ready means for the successful resistance of a large by a small force. The roads are crooked and rug ged, and though easy for the passage of horses, cattle, and mules, are very difficult for the convey ance cf heavy wagons and artillery. In some oases our troops were detained for hours, and even days, in transferring their oannon a distance of a few miles. Frequently they were fired upon from the woods by small bands of rebels, who, knowing the country well, always contrived to elude pursuit. Had the enemy boon more daring, they could hare caused us great annoyance and serious loss by opposing our progress into tho State; but, fortunately for us, they wero, so far as their effective force was concerned, at a very harmless distance. Sugar oreok rises to tho enst of the -Keotsville road, flows through the lower part of rea Ridge, which is about eight miles below the Missouri Hue, and flows toward tho north. Pea Ridge is rather a series of ridges on a high table-land, covered with undergrowth and small-sized trees, while in some quarters the timber is large and tall. Last autumn, a tornado visited Northern Arkansas, and for seve ral miles blew down the trees, whioh have lain there ever since, and oiler serious obstructions to transportation of all kinds. Pea Ridge, on which the battle was fought, varies in breadth from two to five miles, and extends some fourteen or fifteen, end se uneven are its surfaces that no one can see for more than a few hundred yards at a time, in consequence of the intervening trees. A small settlement, including some half a dozen bouses, to which the name of Leotowu has been given, is on the Ridge, and also three or four farm houses, all of whioh wero deserted before the en gagement began. The basks of Sugar creek are TWO CENTS. not steep, and, as the stream is small, It U easy to cross, oven with artillery. The battle began on the lower side of the creek, and was soon after transferred to the upper; and on the second and third days was conducted toward the east, with wsrsHibbl SbiftißgS to the west, in. eluding a elope or at least eight or ten miles. The Federal Army. Our effective force could not have been more than twelve thousand on the day of the first engage ment, and was composed of Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Ohio and Missouri troop?. The army wasdivided into three divisions, under the command of Gen. Sami. K. Curtis, a bravo and patriotic officer, and was brigaded, aa nearly as I can learn, in the following manner: General Sigei’s Division* nnST HitmAnK —COLONEL GREL'SEL. Thirty-sixth Illinois, Col. Greusel. Twenty-fifth “ Col. Color. Forty-fourth “ Col. KnobUsdorf. SECOND BRIGADE—COLONEL OSTJiiUiAtfS, Twelfth Missouri, Col Osterhaus. Seventeenth Missouri, Col. llasaendeufel.

General Davis* Division. Kilt ST BRIGADE—COLONEL DEXTQN. Eighth Indiana, Coi. Benton. Eighteenth Indiana, Col Patterson. Twenty-second Indiana, Lieut. Col. Hendricks. SECOND BRIGADE—COLONEL , Fifty-ninth Illinois, Lieut. Col. Frederick' Thirty-seventh Missouri, Col. . Missouri Cavalry, buttalion, Major Bowen. Second Ohio Battery, Col. Carlin First Missouri Light Artillery, one battery. General Carr*s Division. FIRST Dfcbdff, Fourth lowa, Lieut.-Col. Galighan. Twenty-fifth Illinois, Col. G. A. Smith. Twenty*fourth Missouri (battalion), Maj. Weston. SECOND BRIGADE—COLONEL VANDEVEIt, Ninth lows, Lieut.-Col. Herron. Twenty-fifth Missouri, Col. Fhelps. Ninth lowa Battery, Capfc. Hayden. First “ “ Lieut. David. THIRD BRIGADE—COLONEL ELLIS. First Missouri Cavalry, Col. Ellis. Third Illinois, Lieut -Col. . Sixth Missouri (battalion), Majd* Wright, The Hebei Army. The rebel army was composed of nine or ten, perhaps twelve, thousand Missouri State troops, under General Sterling Price; some six or eight regiments of Arkansaa,under General Bon McCul loch • five or six regiments 6f Texans, under Gene ral Earl Van Dorn f somo three thousand Cherokee, Choctaw. Creek, and Seminole Indians, under Colonel Albert Pike, all under the command of Mwjor General Mclntosh. In addition to those mentioned, there were two or three regj£n?ntfi of Louisiana troops and companies of Mis sissippi and Alabama soldiers, under their re spective captains, majors, and colonels, whose names are unknown alike to your correspondent and to fame. The entire rebel force could not have been loss than thirty thousand, many esti mating it still higher. The First Day’s Fighting. General Curtis anticipated an attack from the south, ar.d accordingly had the trains placed on the north under the protection of General Sigel. with n body of eight hundred men • the principal Fede ral encampment and main linos being to the east ward, near the head and on both sides of Sugar creek. Meantime the robel forces were moving in full strength from Bentonville, whence they had proceeded from Cross Hollows, and with rapid marches were endeavoring to cross tho crook, and, by placing themselves on the north, to cut off our retreat. An advance of about two thousand cavalry reached the desired position, and made a fierce onslaught on Sigel, hoping to take possession of our large and valuable train. Sigel proved him self the right man in the right place. He gallantly met the enemy, and, while ho repelled their charge, prevented them from seizing upon our wBgons. The brave and accomplished officer seemed übiquitous. He rode rapidly bare and there* giviDg orders and observing the point of at tack and the situation of the enemy, at the same time cheering and encouraging his troops. Sigel’s desire was to keep the communication open between himself and the main camp, and the enemy’s design to cut off this avenue for reinforce ments. They closed round him with tumultuous shouts, and believed they had accomplished their purpose, when Sigel rushed in upon them with hia brave followers and compelled them to give way. For two hours the stTifc wont on with groat ardor on both sides; but it seemed as if the Fede ralists would scon be compelled to yield. There seemed no hope for them. They must become ex hausted. and doubtless they must have done bo, had their destiny been in less powerful and experienced hands than Sigei's. About tio trains, the din of strife rose louder than before, and tho rattle of musketry and the boom of cabfi&h awoke the surrounding echoes. The enemy were losing ground. They rallied and fell with redoubled-force on our heroic band, two hundred uf whom had already proved their patri otism with their blood. The combat was hand to band. Horsemen were dismounted, nn4 struggled with the infantry, while the officers were sometimes seen defending themselves against the adv&noiog bayonets of the common soldiers. A superhuman effort on the part of tho enemy, and a third time the Federalists were sur r ounded. Firmer and firmer were the rebels closing round the five or six hundred braves, who were evidently going to tho wall. Only one way was left: “ Follow me!” thundered Sigel, and bis proud steed trampled an approaching rebel under his haughty feet. A deep, strong, earnest cry from the Unionists, and they met the foe with the rush of determina tion and the energy of despair. The Second Day. The enemy during the night and early in the morning poured in from the Bentonville road, and gathered in heavy force to our rear, sweeping round to the right, and occupying both McU§ of the Keetsville road, a position from which it was abso lutely necessary to dislodge them, or surrender all hope of success. r Truly, before the second day’s engagement be gan, the prospect was very dark. Defeat seemed to staro us In tho face, and the sole thing possible appeared a struggle to provent too disastrous a discomfiture. The way to Missouri was defended by thirty thousand of the enemy ; and we had little more than one-third the number to dispute the perilous passage. On tbe south were the Boston Moun tains. To the east or west we could not go. Wero we not hemmed in by nature and the enemv ? Gen. Carr’s division was sent by Gen. Curtis to force tbe enemy from their position, and about ten o'clock in the morning the battle was renewed with increased ardor, and soon the batteries from both rides wore replying to each other with death-deal ing voices. Gen. Carr made a spirited and heavy charge upon the enemy under McCulloch and Price. The rebels reeled as wo went against them, but their column did not break. Tho charge was re peated. Still the foe stood firm, opening a galling fire from two batteries whose presence had not be fore been known. Our troops were then thrown in to confusion, and three companies of infantry and Col. Ellis’ cavalry were ordered to silence the destructive guns. Carr’s column advanced and fell back, and ad vanced again, and beyond them, up the hill, the cavalry and infantry were struggling to capture the detested guns. The regiment which protected the batteries met them fairly and freely, and, for half an hour, the two combatants were eo commingled that they almost failed to recognize one another. “ Our men have the batteries,” was announced, and the Federalists rent the welkin with their huzzas.. Through the blue curling vapors our men could bo seen dragging the guns after them. Ere they had gCbe a hundred yards, the rebels were behind them, struggling like Hercules for the repossession of the pieoes. Blood streamed anew, and shouts, and groans, and prayers, and curses, went up with the gigantic forms of smoke jg the upper air. Brief triumph. * The batteries are lost. Our men have been overpowered by numbers. They retire, and blood marks their progress, and many dead are abandoned. Midnight comes; and the scattered words of the sentinels are heard ; and the Federalists and rebels are sleeping on their arms, dreaming, it may be, of the time when they were friends and brothors, and America had notbeoome one vast military camp. The Third Day’s Battle. At six o’clock, our guns openod on the enemy, and our fire was returned from twenty pieces. The firihg did little harm. The enemy’a shot passed above our heads. Our cause was growing darker. Gen. Sigel observes new positions for our opera tions. AYe plant six batteries at different points commanding their principal forces. A fire of ball la shattering the space with its roar. The rebels can endure no longer the sheet of flame, out of which go death and pain in a thousand forms. They have lost their faith in their bad cause and themselves. They are panic stricken. They turn not. back. Two of their generals have received their mortal wounds, and the word is! “ Save himself who can.” The Yankees have beaten them, and their star has set over the verdureless ridge of this hard fought field. The birds twitter overhead. The sun shines warmer and olearor. The atmosphore of blood is purified by the feeling that it was shod in a sacred cause. Tlie Loss ou Both Sides. Our loss cannot be known at this time, but it must bo in the vicinity of seventeen hundred—five hun dred killed anil some thirteen hundred wounded, most of them slightly. Our officers, contrary to the past experience of this war, suffered little, though they exposed themselves recklessly, as Americans always will do on the battle-field. The rebel lass will never, I presume, bo accu rately ascertained, as they are lying all over tho ridges, in the ravines, among tho’ brush, and along the roads. The oaualties among the enemy, how ever, were far greater than with us, and three thou sand—of which nine or ten hundred were in killed —lam confident, would not be an over statement of their loss. Their officers fell tbiok and fast in the engagement, and tbeir dead and wounded ma jors, colonels, captains, and lieutenants, were at least double ours. The Secession officers were ge nerally brave and dashing, and fought in so praise worthy a manner as to leave us no regret, so far as courage goes, that they were born upon our own beloved son. The Rebels Slaughtered by their Savage It is said the Indians in the engagement of Fri day became so exoited, by the alcohol they had drank and the scenes that they witnessed, that they turned their weapons upon their own allies, and butchered and scalped the rebels and Federalists with the most charming indifference. An instance of this is given by one of the prisoners, a member of one of the companies that suffered from what tha Southerners believed to be the trea'chery of the savages.
