TOE SONTRAISANDS, As a great many bitter things have been said 1 of the Yankees, by the people of .the South, in regard* to their enticing away their «niggers,” I have taken the pains to look into the matter a little, and I have been unable to- learn of a single instance where an officer or soldier of the Federal ariny ever, by bribe, promise, or any aot, enticed a con traband from his master or mistress. And yet, so 1 deeply planted in every bosom is the desire for liberty, no sooner does our army make its appear ance than they flook into our oamps, like frightened Bheep, offering themselves for any purpose we may put them to, if we will but keep-and protect them. This our commandors are willing- to- do; and very properly too, thus providing a moans: of relieving ! our soldiera of a great deal of severe, and, when other help is so ready at band, for them, unnecessary work; such as digging ditches; making-roads, build ing forts, Ao. Now, ae long as Pbmpey is content; wo have no cause to grumble; and; if it result in no worse evil than the giving freedom to the poor blacks (though, if they but knew U/'they are a' thousand times .better offwitif their masters- in the South, than without them in the North); let us not refuse to receive them as : fast as; they pome, thus affording our soldiers an opportunity of escaping from’the drudgery the contrabands- might' as- well be employed about, and giving our brave boys a chance to perfeot themselves in their military edu cation. : ; CHIP. LETTER FROM MEMPHIS. [Special Correspondence of The Press.] 1 ’ !. Memphis, July 28; 1862. The Rebel GnnboatArkansas J The second act in the Arkansas drama ha 3 been played. If a third is finished without resulting in her capture,'we shall begin to believe that it is neither farce nor comedy, but genuine tragedy that ’is to coirie front the bowels of this monster of tie deep. On Wednesday last it was determined to. cut ont the Arkansas, or so to diaablejher that she would hover he able to do any more harm. The whole expedition seems to have been planned for . and by the Northern fleet, commanded by Com. . Davis ; for though our information somewhat vaguely' hints at co-operation by Com ; Farragut, it is quite certain that he did nothing, and if is supposed that his fleet has retired to New Orleans. Of this we cannot be certain, and it seems'rather a • strange proceeding, if is just as necessary to have the river watched below Vicksburg as above it. To be sure, ho large body of troops is known to he posted down there, and it is not presumed that any wish'to cross, but the excellent results that followed a search in the neighborhood of Helena, by (Jen. Curtis, whioh' I shall presently relate, ought to prompt our Southern fleet to equal vigilance. THE rLAN TO CAPTURE THE ARKANSAS. The plan was for Commodore Davis to send tho ram Bragg, and the gunboats Benton, Cincinnati, and Louisville, to engage the Arkansas and the batteries, while the' Essex should run down and , grapple with the Arkansas, and the ram Queen of - ■ the West strike her with her prow. The vessels started from their moorings in the order above mentioned, the Queen last. As the Queen rounded Louisiana Point and came in sight of the Arkansas, she saw the Essex steaming down stream, with all speed on, three-quarters 1 of a. mile below the rebel ram. . Just at this moment Commodore Davis put his head out at the port-hole of the Benton, arid ' ’ said something which Colonel Eliott, commanding the Queen, taking it in connection with the flight of the Essex, construed into “ Hold on!” or “ Come back !” the heavy firing making it ; impossible to ■ dietinguish' abiuis.isis'.svhatjfas said. Col. EUett .says that at this moment' he one hundred and Sixty tons and a speed of eighteen' •knots;an hour, and would have gone through the gates of hell itself. But he’ reversed his engines, though he was within two or three hundred yards of the Arkansas! The Benton came up and explained his mistake, so he put on . steam again and started single-handed for the Arkansas. By - this time the latter, divining his intention, had hauled her head out into the stream, and as the. Queen of the West came "at her had yawed and presented her sides obliquely to tho prow of the Queen. The force of .the blow injured the Queen more than it did the rebel; for it threw her aside with great force, and shoved her Completely up on the shore, breaking her , prow and starting all the timbers on her starboard side. It was nearly five mi nutes before she could get off, and was the whole time close under the guns of the Arkansas. Bat , She was so low that the rebel guns could not be do-, pressed so as to reach her, and all they could do was to cover her with mud and water,which they did. They Arkansas then got on headway so as to bring "her guns to bear on her saucy little antagonist. The 'latter got off and went at her again, Striking her full in 'tho stern. The blow had not the slightest effect. bounde dl back like a stone. As an eye-witness said,.: she " might” just as well hayri tried to ram down the rook of Gibraltar.’/ Hiially she got away, and returned, to the fleet, when, on inquiring why no gunboats had attempted to: cover her retreat, she was informed that they supposed she was “’ gone up,” and would never be seen again; and Commodore Davis is re ported to have said that he forgot that part of the arrangement. The Essex , has not yet been seen.' : Commodore Farragut did not 00-operate. The whole thing was terribly blundered, and.the result will be injurious to us more from the represeata-! turns that will go abroad in regard to it,' than from any real harm done. There is no- place-where, , there are so many slips ’twixt cup and lip as on this ’ same Father ef Waters. The current is so swift; and the sandbars are so numerous and rapidly formed, that navigation is something like matri mony—a mere lottery, THE DAMAGE DONE. 5 It is probable thatsome damage was done the Arkansas. "When the Queen struck her three or four< men were seen to jump overboard, arid there was • evidently great alarm and confusion on board. One "of the three shots fired by the Essex is said to hava raked Her from .stem to stern, entering the star board bow port-hole, traversing the entire length of the ship. Neverihelem, she came out the next morning and . steamed up to Louisiana Point, and ‘showed‘herself as if courting another attack. If she’really wanted a,fight she could.havebeen ac commodated, hut I. think, the move, was ; merely one of [bravado,, or for rewnnbifeng .purposes. The Queen of the West, though so long under a terrific fire and'riddled with shot,, had only one man hurt, aridhe was Blightly wounded by a splinter. Her ’escape pipe was cut off and one 04-pound shot pass-, rid completely through her starboard staterooms and shattered a gun-carriage in her bow. She left Memphis tO;day for Cairo for repairs; The bal ance of the"fleet has retired to. the' month of the Vazoo'river. There w considerable sickness, both” among men arid officers. This seems'stiange, as our land forces were never in better ''Condition.'' I suppose it must he because the river’is low.' - THE REBELS 'IN'!

Devoting my attention drains the Interval to measures necessary to repair the conseoneaces of a protracted and sanguinary-battle, and to restorer tho vigor and efficiency of my command, and having prepared the way by the construction 'of bridges; on.the 24th, pursuant to order, I; moved it to the front and"extreme right of! the first ad vance made aftertbebattle, Halting on the erißt aide of' Owl Greek,’and resting- the right of the division on the ' bluffs overlooking the creek, we pitched our tents, and remaned here until the 30th, meantime gnarding the ■ passi-s'ef Owl Greek; and making frequent cavalry ra -connpjpsances westerly in the direction of Purdy, and southerly, on each' side" of ’t he creek, in the direction of : PeaEidge; .. , , .- , , .Here; as a precaution against surprise l ,1 threw up earthworks, constating. of lunettes. and - entrenchments,, covering my camp. On the 26th, I ordered Colonel JE. E Lawler (18th Illinois),- with'six-'regiments of infAntry, three companies of cavalry, and a section of McAllister’s battery, to re-". conrioitre in front and'to the left of our position, in the direction of- Pea -Ridge, to drive in the enemy’s picket and outposts, arid, avoiding an engagement with a '«»■>' perier force; ascertain;if 'practicable, his position; and . then fall back-upon our csmjri-Rapidly movingforward, in execution of this order, he had approached within a short distance of the enemy’s' pickets. when, in pursuance of instructions from Major General Grant, he Whs or dered to hatt and return bis column to camp. 'Onthe 29th, however, a general advauoe was 'made in ! the; direction of Pea- Ridge- and- Farmington. . The Ist . Division, being in advance, wbb hatted aheutfour miles' from Monterey, in view of some of the enemy’b tents on Pfea Ridge. - The' enemy’s pickets fled before our ad vance, leaving ns ia possession of the ground they had ■ ’occupied. Near arid in the rear of this print, known as {Mickey’s White: House, we took-thepoaition behind a blanch of Lick Greek, which' had been assigned to ns,-, and pitched oor tents. - . On the 4th of May the -reserves were moved forward by. me; the SdDivision from their position near the Pittsburg and Purdy bridge, across Owl creek,-to Mickey’s White- House,- and- the-lst Division, under,command of' Brigadier General Judah, to the vicinity of Monterey. KOr shoutd I forget to state that, dnriog this march, ! 1 received an order t> send back a detachment of cavalry, under instructions to proceed to the mast convenient bridge across Owl creek,' and thence to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, at or near Bethel; for the purpose of de stroying it. : :. ~ ' Lii uhCoI. Wm. McCullough, with the small available force at hand; consisting of only , two hundred and fifty Illinois mounted men, started after night fall, and, ■ marching through rain and mire affreight seventeen miles, carets to the road, and, dismounting -his men - under the: • enemy’s fire, destroyed three bridges,.a portion of; the road track and telegraph wire, throwing the latter into Cypress creek. Having accomplished this daring feat, . he turned his small force against the enemy’s cavalry, and, boldly attacking .them, drove-them- back in confu sion upon and through -Purdy, killing a numberof there,- and losing one men end several horses. This achievement prevented • the enemy .-from turning our flank at- Pea ■ Ridge and while advancing upon Corinth. Encamping the Third division at Mickey’s White House, and the First Division south of Lick crook, and; within a mile of Monterey, they remained here until the llth./ Oo the 11th, the same division struck their tents: . and moved[forward about two. miles, and-.a half, in the - direction of Coiintb, to thecronsiug of the- “ Old State Line” with the “Pnrdyand Farmington road.’’ En camping here, near Fielder’s house, a reconnoissance in the direction: of Corinth, was immediately tirade, which came in contact with, the enemy’s pickets near Easel’s - house, on the “Hack Road,”leading from Purdy to Co rinth, and drove back their accumulating numbers Bone distance. This position at the cross-roads was vita! to the line of : our advance upon the enemy at Corinth, as it- 1 ; protected otri tight flank from attack. To strengthen and secure so important a position, rifle pits were dug and earthworks thrown np. ' 1 On the 14th the second brigade, under command of Gen. Roes, was detached'from the division and moved still further forward, abouta mile and-a baif. Hearing that the entmy were using the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to attack us in the rear, and-cut off our;communication • with tie base at Pittsburg, I ordered General Wallace to advance one of the brigades of his division to’ an inter rriediate point on the- line between his - camp and the . . “Cress Roads.” Oolonel Wood, commanding the third brigade of the third 'division, accordingly moved forward with his brigade, .and; strongly fortified a commanding position.. >ln combiriatiori with this movement, at 4 . o’clock in the morning,’ General Ross, supported by Gen.. Logan’s brigade as a reserve, the whoie-uader command of Brigadier General-Jadsh, mo ved forward to the. rail road. _lll>on reaching the; road General Boss instantly . enoouritsied a detaohment.of the enemy’s forceß, and ra pidly driving them back, tore rip the road, for some dis-- tance, spoiling , the rails by plaoing -them - on tiesand - ' other timbers, which -were fired and thus destroyed. On thet 21st General Logan’s Brigade, leaviig the Cross Boadß, moved forward and took; a- fortified posi tion within three miles of the enemy’s defence around Corinth, near Easel’s house. A further advance upon Corinth having been determined upon, on the 28th; Ge neral Logan’s asd General Ross’ brigades were moved to the front and right of our general.line of advance, under command of General Judab, in pursuance of my order. Immediately co.pperatiUg’vrith General Shenrian’s 'divi-- sion in making a: trong demonstration of attacking Co rinth, they first directed their march to- the “ Bltie Cnt” od tho ri-ilroad. -This was the most advanced position Whioh had‘been hitherto taken on the right of oWii gene-, ral line, and was retained and entrenched by General Boss on acconnt of its great strategic value. About the time General -Boss had taken possession of this position, Gen. Logan moved hia brigade obUaueiy to the hit, and rinited with General Denver’s brigade, forming the right of General Sherman’s : division., The effect of this disposition being to extend the line ofbattie ; so as to-flank the enemy ’s position on the west, this por tion of my command, in conjunction with General Sher man’s division, now advanced to attack him. Skirmish ers were thrown out about three hundred yards in front of the -brigade, -undercharge of Major Smith, of; the Forty.fifth Illinois, acting as officer of the day. Met by : skirmishers of the enemy; sharp firing soon ensued, and another company from the Eighth ltlinois, under com-. maud of Captain Wilson, was thrown forward to support their comrades already engaged. The conspicnous'and pregnant fact that the enemy-had • allowed us to approscffi within artillery range of his de fences at this point, without. offering any formidable re-‘ siatance, reasonably induced, the '.belief that he. had - evacuated, or waß evacuating, his camp at Corinth.. General Logan’s opinion agreeing with my own upon this point, he would havo made a demonstration to prove: the fact, with my approbalion, but for want of authority. - On tbe evening of the 29th, after General Logan’s brigade bad commenced marching- in returning to their - camp near Easel’s, the enemy ’aguardrenewed theirattack upon his picket line. Halting the regiments which had • started, and retaining those which had not yet moved in their position, be ordered Capta. Leib and Cowen,of theSth ■ and 46th Illinois Regiments, to advance their companies, s. These offlcers promptly doing so, a very severe Bkirmish ensued, in which this emall force again signalized West ern courage by beating and driving back superior nhm-. bers. According to infoririation subsenuenttv obtained, the enemy lost forty men" killed and wounded in this combat, which the lattriess of the evening and the hear-; nsss of his position to his works enabled him to carry off. Bavin* been; relieved by other of Gen, Sherman’s: . troops which had come up, the brigade returned to their camp the same night. This .was the lest engagement which took place before the enemy evacuated Corinth and we occupied tbe place. . On the 30th our.forces entered the evacuated camp Of the enemy at Corinth, thereby adding-to the series of ■ successes wbifch have crowned the arms of - the Weßt. . Yours respectfnUy; JOHN A.
