OUR WESTERN CORRESPONDENCE. LETTER FMK PITTSBURG LANDING. A Rebel Battery Captured by General Pope—Our Forces Consumilly (Merin Blithe to the Rebels—The Recent Army Changes—Reports in the Camps—Col. Dickey's Expedition to the Railroad Beyond Purdy—What Hardshins they Encountered—What the Expedition Ac complished The Beautiful Weather Prevailing at Pittsburg Landing. PlTTSEttita LANDING, May 2, 1262. This is probably our last day in camp at the pre sent place. We move tomorrow or the day after, and when we move the headquarters of Gen. Hal leek will probably be located at or near Monterey. Our advance is close to that place now, for Gen. Pope, instead of going to Monterey as was stated in my last, went to a point four miles below there, and took a rebel battery and brought off the guns. The Small retreated rapidly, and left everything in our hands. Our advance is farther out than I had the , o ta. Alt cuionaM of .artillery whom I Knorr has just come in, and, according to his statement, we are constantly offering them battle if they choose to accept it. 'This morning there Iraq au alarm at half past three o'clock. ;The men sprang to their arms and their guns, but nobody was hurt. We are all ready for the enemy when they are ready for as, which I imagine will not be very soon, I think we shall march entirely to Memphis, with, perhaps, a smart chunk of a fight " at Grand Junction, without any further obstacle. But before you get this letter you will probably have heard of our movements by telegraph. General Grant's command has been increased General Thomas' division is transferred from Gone rill RueWs commend, together with one other diet_ sion, (any which General Buell may select) te Gene ral Grant's army, which is divided into two corps d'ormee, one under General Thomas and the other Omelt! MeClernand. Some disappointment is ex pressed by General Sherman's friends, that he was not put in command of one corps, but as he is ranked by General MoClernand it could not be done. General Grant now has the largest command in General Balleck's army, and this mey suffice to give some idea of the estimation in which General Grant is held its a fighting man by those best quali fied to judge of him. The weather is now delightful. For several days it bas been growing finer and finer, and the roads era stuffieiently dry to admit of the peewee of atti , heaviest artillery. The roads beyond are better and the woods are clearer. Monterey can be seen from three miles distance, which is quite incredible to us cooped up in these woods, whore you cannot now see farther than eighty rods. All kinds of re ports are flying about camp. Vicksburg was taken, and Memphis was immediately to be snatched from our grasp. There wee a somewhat more credible report about the enemy being in the rear of &Watt nab, but they were probably only some of the land piratee, the banditti that spring up here, as in MN sem lin the rear of our army. No considerable force could possibly be there without our knowing something about it. Col. Dickey's expedition, to the railroad beyond Purdy, was one of those enterprises which are ine vitably overlooked in history, but which, though not of great magnitude, require as much nerve and sagacity, and are as likely to be defeated by some unlucky accident as great battles. Hundreds of men have. in just such affairs, displayed the high eat qualities, and it is in fact by participating in Son minor enterprises, of little value in their sin gle results, but very important taken collectively, that the great military leaders of every great army have been educated, Restarted with 1,200 eavalry for Purdy in the forenoon, and rode until two o'clock in the morning. After sundown they formed themselves on the back road, about wide enough fora wagon, and it coon weer as dark that, when standing alongside a man, you Mild not tell which way he was faced without puttieg your hand out and feeling which way his horse was headed. At two o'clock they teund themselves on the enemy's pickets and retired a mile. It being fin fosithle to accomplish anything, the colonel or dered his men to bivouac in that place. In pass ing along the column nefound here and there a large gap, where some portions of the force were separated from each other by a creek or slough, and he ordered the last section to step back in the woods and hi: vouae, the next to close up to them, and then do likewise, and so on to the front. The front division, consisting of about one-third or one-quarter the entire force, bad quite ft long space to pass, of coarse, but, obeying orders, they went on until they found some one, and, when they drew up, found illgleeelVes on the pieliele of Gen, Wallace's (Eel , sion, which was six miles behind them, and formed, part of the expedition. The men had gone into. the woods, tied their horses, and dropped asleep in. two Minutes. The mounted men passed completely through these men, and, when 001 Dickey waked up in the morning, instead of having his whole command about him, as he expected, one third of them were AIR miles ewey lagnita trouble and vexation, they were got together again, and proceeded on their way. All this time it had been raining hard, and the men and horses were drench ed to the skin, and cold and weary. They pushed on, however, entered Purdy, captured the town, left a force of four hundred men there, and Went on, sending outposts and pickets oat on all the branch roads; drove the enemy's pickets before them on the main road, made a dash at_ the railroad, destroyed one bridge, and set 'Are to another, whoa all at once they heard the whistle of an engine. A few moments later the engine came in sight.. There was no train—only an engineer and a fireman, and gee or two operators. These were taken prisoners, and the engine started with a full head of steam for the burning bridge. Off it went at full speed, and turned a very ecientifio somersault into the creek, and, the expedition ended, the force returned borne, glad enough to have got back safe from so hazardous an excursion. some of our Northern friends could be enjoying this beautiful evening.

MY DEAR WIPE : As Captain Porter is about to de spatch a vessel to Havana, with communications for the Government, containing our late name, I have only a feig moments to say that I am safe, thanks to a superintend k's' Providence, without a scratch, Yesterday was our great battle. The squadron Passed the forte under, perhaps, the most severe tire a fleet over went through. They suffered a great deal, were MO etft bp, and bad many killed and wounded. Ac for the Verruca, others must give you the details, I can only the outline. We started at 2 A. M., received the first tire of the enemy at 3.30, most as the mega was rising. MY vessel Wag terribly cutup, but we returned the flea ith interest. On Timing the forts I found nil vessel the leading ship, and surrounded by a squadron of rebel steamers, who annoyed me much by their fire, so I steered ea close to them as possible, awl gave each a broadside in tucceesion as I ;lewd, driving on shore and leaving In mance four of them. During this time the tiring (dims, whistling of shot, and bursting of shells was terrific, the smoke dense and heavy. Finding no more steamers ahead, tie I ran out 1' the smoke. I stopped to look for the rest of the squadron. Thus far no one on bond wee a.° ,"—i ie,shir K ti idly amtern. I then saw the Oneida, engaged with a rebel, woo start ed up the river.

During these manoeuvres he raked me, tall a three and wounding wrote men. He attempt ed to board me, and I repulsed him. Dining this time he hutted me sevcrett, but, in doing so, he eano.ed his vulnerable side, when I succeeded in planting a collide of broadsidem into him that MAIle him sick. crippled his MI- AlilP, and set him on fire. He dropped off and moved very slowly up the diver. receiving another broadside as be passed me on the other side. I now found my vessel on tire from hie shells, and, with difficulty, put it out.
