John Ericsson Our excellent friend John Bull, failing in his purpose of Axing on Captain COLES the inven tion' of the cupola iron-war steamers, (inas much as Enicssox proposed his plans to NA POLEON in 1851, while Come came with a inco , diflcation of the idea in 1855,) now has claimed Captain ERICSSON as English by nativity and education. Thereupon, one of his indignant countrymen has written an indignant letter to one of the London papers to this effect : "Mr. ERICSSON was born and educated in Sweden, and TOW to the rank of captain in the Swedish army before he left his native country—first for England, and afterwards for America. He has a brother in Sweden, Colonel ERICSSON, Vl3lO is the chief engineer over the Swedish railways." The Illustrated Times, one of the fairest and hut e6l3dilektl Lauds weekly 134116Y5, gives a brief memoir of Captain EaressoN, which states his birth to have occurred in ISO 3, and adds that from the age of ten years, and until and during his becoming a captain in the Swedish army, he so distinguished himself by a large number of mechanical and scientific in ventions, all ingenious and many exceedingly useful, that Count PLATEN, the eminent diplo= matist, predicted his future great success as an inventor. Prom 18:20 to 180, EliMlso2l - in England, where he attempted to intro duce his invention of a flame-engine, ( which we saw at work, in Birmingham, in 18210 where he first applied to marine engines centrifugal blowers, now so common in America, in all boilers using anthracite coal; and whore, at the competition of locomotive engines, on the formation of the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad, his own engine, the "Novelty," though it did not win the prize, attained a speed of 30 miles an hour—a speed far higher than its successful rival, GEORGE STEPHENSON'S —Rocha," did then attain. In 1641, through the influence of Commodore STOCKTON, he was allowed to carry out his plans in the construc tion of the United States war frigate POiS6hibiz, which was the first vessel that steam was ever introduced into with the works below the water-line, and out of the ma& of shot. His subsequent inventions, culminating in the Monitor, have been numerous and practicable, as well as ingenious. Tile very name of the Monitor is a grave re proach to England. In a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Navy at Washington, Captain En.icssos said that "the iron-clad in truder he had constructed—she was launched on the 101st working-day from the time she was commenced—would be a true Jlesiter to the rebel leaders," and added : But there are other leaders who will also be startled and admonished by the booming of the guns from the impregnable iron turret. Downing street will hardly view with indifference this last Yankee notion—this Monitor. To the Lords of the Admiralty the new craft will be a Monitor,' suggesting doubts as to the pro priety of completing those four steel-clad ships at three millions and a half apiece," The London journal already referred to (il lustrated Times) gives the key to this. It says " ERICSSON, the contriver of the Monitor, is a Swede i he was in England some years ago, and was in communication with the Admiralty, but was considered a mere scientific dreamer—a 21).0 MILO' of was F elady bowed out." Well, Time at last does set all things even, and brings about its own re- TengeS. The British Admiralty sneered at ERICSSON'S impracticability, and lo inp vents a Marine steam-battery which reduces . ' the , c it TValls of Old England" into noucntit;„-. The Negro Emigration Bugaboo. [For 'Dr Prfse The Pacckinridgers have raised a howl about tIIU President's plau of emancipation and the law re cently passed by Congress in accordance therewith. They are laboring to alarm the simple and thought less, as well as the laboring white masses, with the idea that we shall be "overrun with niggers" and crowded out with the ao refugee niggers" from the slave States; that our good old Quaker and Dutch Commonwealth will be Africonized, and that Northern laborers will be starved out of house and home. Let us look this electioneering canard in the face, and see iipoa w h e t aloudor foundations they seek to play upon the credulity of the people. By the census of 1800, Maryland had a population of 7.31,000, of whom 85,000 were slaves and 90,000 free blacks. Virginia had 1,832,000 people ; of whom 50,000 were free blacks and 495,000 slaves. Fifty per cent. of the inhabitants of Virginia were Pegroel, Over thirty per cent. of the population of Maryland were also negroes. Pennsylvania had a population of 2,910,000, of whom 50 ; 000 are free negroes. This gives less than two per cent_ of negro infusion in our present popu lation. If, however, ALL the slaves in Maryland and Virginia were to be liberated to-day, and to emi grate in a body to-morrow to PetiliViWahla, (al though no one can seriously allege that the free negroes all wish or intend to emigrate to Pennsyl vania;) we should then have 580,000 contrabands in our State and this would give, with our present free black population, 600,000. This number dif fused through our State, as it is in Maryland and Virginia, would give klAt 22 per cent, of negro in. fusion ; whilst Maryland, to-day, has 20 per cent. of negroes, and Virginia 50 per cent. Does any sensible man for a moment think the negroes en masse would come to this State ? We all know that if this laboring population were taken from Maryland and Virginia the lazy whites would starve, and the States again become a wilderness, US many parts of lower Virginia arc this d a y f or the deer and wild turkey are again the tenants on thousands of acres of abandoned lands on the James and•ether rivere emptying IMO the Chesa peake bay. Thousands and tens of thousands of our brave soldiers will settle on the abandoned lands of the Routh, and infuse vigor and enemy tlirctishout !Le land of slavery. The lovers of the " peculiar institution" have more to fear from free risers than we have from slaves, LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.

All these reside near this place, and Company H is already attending to the pro perty left behind by them. They have during the'last few days captured 8 horses, one army wagon, a lot or hams intended for the rebel army, two flue steers, and plenty of mutton and fresh pork. Particular care is taken to interfere with no property belonging to citizens who are at home and minding their proper bneiriese When the Union soldiers first came here, the citizens appeared very uneasy. Now they frankly admit that they are treated far more honorably than they were by the Oeuthem troops.

I am very sure that if the Government would take possession of the land deserted by the rebels, appoint competent superintendents, and employ the contrabands, that immense crops of corn, hay, buckwheat, tn., could be raised during the present season, which would be very useful for the army.

FROM PITTSBURG LANDING. - The Ruben; Awaiting us at Uorintn—ThC Soldiers and War Correspondents—An Inerdent.of Cainp Discipline—The Pe culiar Nature of the Narrounding Country Large Artillery not very Useful. [Coireepondence of The Press.] rlTTNilirllla LAMMING, April t 6, 1.86:: The enemy are evidently awaiting us at Corinth, or between here and there. A cavalry reeonnois ounce was made yesterday, which discovered them, in some force, less than ten miles from our front. It is pretty well ascertained that they are fortify ing about Corinth, and preparing to make a great stand. But whoever lives to see the neat battle will probably see a rapid arid easy march to Mem phis, and probably to New Orleans. It would not be proper for me to say what accessions our force has received ande Ike battle, but you eau pertmi,e guess. We got St. Louis, Chicago, and Cincinnati papers two or three days after their issue. Newspapers are our ably iitAnteiiie. It is amuslsg to sea tha interest with which the soldiers pore over the ac counts of battles in which they themselves have been engaged. Our soldiers love to be admired end praised. They care more to have their ser vices appreciated than for anything else. They are mightily amused at the accounts coming from the army of the Potomac, at the siege of Yorktown, where,,in order to make out a letter, the corres pondent is obliged to give minute accounts of every casualty that occurs—how one man was wounded in the havereacit and another in the canteen, lies the pious soldier, whose life was saved by the Bible given him by his mother, which stopped a bullet on the way to his heart, been trotted out yet? Then their innocent souls, they don't know any thing about war. That is clear from the frequent mention we hear of 4‘ billed shirts" among the rebels. Our Secesh friends don't put on any such style as that. They all wear their old clothes, and are glad to get even those. I don't believe, either, that there is a oiled shirt in the whole of General Ilallaaklentaff. Thera may ba a few papar but that is the extent of their luxury. If a man could get a cast-iron shirt, that could be blacked, or a tin shirt, that could be scoured, it would pay ; but whey; Actual war to going on, waatierwomim don't flourish. An incident occurred a few days ago which shows the strictness of muffin regulations. A resident of this place, about a mile from our lines, was brought inside by a lieutenant of the; picket guard to search for a horse that had been stolen from him. The lieutenant dial not know of the order that had just been made forbidding any one to pass either way without authority from headquarters. Not withatendiug the man came here innocently, and under the guidance of en officer, and, too, for a le gitimate purpose, ho will be compelled to stay, con fined in the guard-house until the army moves for ward, when he will be sent to the rear. He may be Secesh and simply prying about, which I am in clined to believe is the case, though he looks very honest and is certainly very gentlemanly in his man ners, for who could rattily expect to Ana a horst, la a space four miles square crowded with horses ? But were he as honest as Old Abe he comes under the rule r and must take his chances. This camp is worse than the Labyrinth of Crete. This country is very uniform and densely wooded, though without much underbrush. Every 'ravine and every hillock looks just like its neighbor two miles It is next to an impossibility to go to any place. Those best accustomed to the ground, who have been over it fifty times, confess that they mild list strike a straight hits far any pabA a inile distant. They can only get on by going from one division to another, and inquiring their way. None of our Western battles will resemble the battles of wropeass armies, or, probably, those on the coast. The country is too low and flat, and too uniform. More than all this, Rill covered densely with timber, andytillery has not near the range that would be useful. It is not the heaviest artillery that wins here, it is the greatest quantity of short range and light guns. Six-pounder brass guns and twelve pounder howitzers are the most valuable, and all our best batteries have them. They can be quickly and easily moved, and are very destructive at short range. The Parrott and James rifled cannon are not nearly so useful. The reguta ti4o, too, thai the artlllorjr - would he the most angerous aervice,. has not been fulfilled here for the same reason. Sharpshooters cannot gene rally gay at our artillerymen tyithout coming within close proximity to the " rotten balls" that they fear so much when they "bust." Taylor's battery of Chicago has been in three fights, and have only lost two killed and a few wounded. The loss of Smith's battery, the other of the Chicago twine, who have.performed such valuable service in the West, has suffered greater loss than this, but still very little compared with infantry compa nies. To-day is bright and pleasant, and I hope erelong to chroniolo en advance, though the roads 45-YAS still in a very bad condition. Casco.

I have a spacious bed—an acre of around, and a bag of potatoes for a pillow. And as fingers were made before cutlery, I look contemptuously upon knives end forks. EffinatitblY balmy and Plefieent is this sunny south, Fruits of every hue and fashion are ripening hour by hour, and floral and insect life go hand in hand together, [or many a shining specimen of Wature's intricate handiwork makes for himself a palatial home in the deep bosom of some blossom that, in its gorgeous finishing, cries g. shame l" upon all the looms of the East, and all the gem -deckings from " swart Peru to Ind." And when the evening time approaches—when the blare of a Southern sun has passed away—when the western sky is all on fire, and when a hundred jewelled islands are floating in a lake of liquid gold ; when the groves are vocal with the music of birds, and the hedge row, and the meld, Dud the threat, and the copse, have all their sounds, as the great family , of living things that inhabit the earth, air and water, retire to that rest which is but the harbinger to them of another day of sunny bappineas; then the ephemera—those inseote of a day, born at sunrise, in middle•life at noon, and aged when the god of day dips in the far west—A shuffle off the mortal coil, and after life's fitrul fever sleep they well." In the last two months I hare written twenty.seren letters, and in those letters have never mentioned one word as to the movements of the army or the conduct of the generals; never speculated, pro or con, but wrote rims, and, in speaking of events which had transpired, abstained froth all idle exaggeration. This can easily be proved; and I possess a letter from the best Union man in the United States—Gov. Andrew Johnson—whereinhe compliments me by saying that I am a judicious writer; and 3 et,to obtain a position in the army, I am obligati to enter the culinary department of some officer, or let my self out as a caterer to the appetites of spavined horses and forlorn mules.

I frantically rushed for the match-box containing my clothes, and was malting towards the 'Lauding, whom I collided with the correspondent of a German newspaper, with a ham-bone upon his shoulder, who asked me where I was bound. I told him I was going to leave, and in torreisidea hlw. as to whether he had read the last order from General Halleck. lie replied in a language which I interpreted to mean that he had seen it, and having a horror of being jerked into eternity for telling the truth, ha rushed, with his effects—the balance of a ham—to the General's office for a pass home, when, to his astonish ment, he received a reply that no person should be per mitted to leave the ground. Well, then, I thought I'd collapse to hear the terrified correspondent giving ex. preselon to his frame of mind ! Our cavalry have brought in prisoners every day this week. On Wednesday some thirty were captured• Thuroday the cavalry went witbip fPfe milefi of Corinth? when they WM% Met With by a large number of cavalry and two pieces of artillery. An alarm was given, and Colonel Bob McCook's brigade, with four brass pieces, were soon moving towards Corinth, But their OVlTicel were not needed. The cavalry succeeded in repulsing the enemy, and taking thirteen prisoners. They burned the tents and other paraphernalia of two regiments who were on picket duty.. Our loss was one killed and four minded. Yesterday sixty rebels came within our lines, and vo luntarily gave themselves up, declaring that they were sick of fighting for nothing against a good cause. They stated that Gorinth migft C be oraccutte4, but they believed that a stand would be made, and warned their captors to "beware of masked batteries in the cypress swamps." The men captured were all Tennesseans. General Crittenden has been very ill for the past seven days, and yesterday received no company.

The next morning, at sunrise, we were startled at our quarters by several heavy reports of ar tillery following twat other in quick ERICGCNIODI 511(1 190011 the news came that our lines were attacked, and the enemy were shelling our pickets.

But the enemy, after firing a'number of shot and shell, thought beat to "bout face," denhtleeelY " fearing the wrath to come." Which, in fact, appears to weigh heavily upon their conscience at all times. The Ferry House, in which we are at this moment seated, on the remains of an old canoe, writing this letter. appeared to he the principal butt of their hostility. This, standing in an isolated position, at the terminus of a long narrow causeway, reaching across the marsh, half-way to the mainland, from which it is only divided by the narrow Channel of the liver, is, to say the least of it, not quite as mare a place, under such circumstances, as one might imagine. In fact; the way in which the angry tckene of the enemy's regard whistled about our buys' ears on the morning aforesaid, was represented to be somewhat disagreeable; making several prominent de partures from our ordinary game of cricket, which it must be confessed we would much rather play, Bqt, happily for us, no one was in the least injured. We still insisted upon keeping possession of the Ferry mouse, the enemy's deeire to the contrary notwithatanding. The customary relief" came around as if nothing had oc curred i and, one by one, the several pests cams to oust ten, each one to tell and enlarge upon his own particular dangers and escapes.

This day is a pretty fair specimen of what might, even Lyre, he called hot weather. Who eliy—Plua, clear, and tranquil—looks down upon a scene that certainly is picturesque, if not, to every eye, beautiful; for spring has made , a wondrous change in the appearance of all things. The Lunatic live•olit, with its festooned draffrerY of moss, hall imperceptibly donned a greener hue, and the grand and gloomy pines that eland like giant senti nels around the circling horizon, are reflected, like an emerald wall of solid strength, against the azure sky. hundreds of acres are now under cultivation on this and the adjacent islands, and the various crops look ex tremely well. There are fruits of various kinds in abundance: the fig is half grown, and ripens in July; the peaches are as large ea one's thumb, wilily dew berries, large, ripe, and luscious, are to be found every where in the greatest abundance. The health of our troops is excellent, and, no doubt, under 46a idootaat and wheleasale eke - W.014u of Bunter, ft will continue so, as far as bunion means and precaution can be of any avail. Already the troops have unbounded respect and confidence in Generals iianier and Benham la much so, la fact, ai toward Oen. Stevens himself. Various wise, humane, and, withal, sanitary steps have been taken to the benefit of this department. Old and wornout tents are being replaced with new ones, much superior in every respect to the former • arms and equipments are to be of the very best kind ; drills are to be light, and practised morning and evening, avoiding the hotter portion of the day ; the men are reaulred to observe the most scrupulous cleanliness, and are to have privileges of more latitude than heretofore. All this cannot fail to make the troops more efficient, more cheerful, and contented, and err tainly more attached to their ollicere, than can well be Imagined ; seeing that the slightest privilege of a favora ble nature given to weary, worn men is most highly prized.
