' WOUNDED:
APACHE, New Mexico, between '
Santa Fe and Fort Union, March
30.—The correspondent of the Mis
souri Republican says : Since I wrote
you, Colonel Slough's column, 1,300
strong, has advanced to Logan's
Banehe, 25 miles North of Santa Fe,
where they encamped. The enemy's
strength was not known and they
immediately engaged
. them. Major
Crittenden of the Ist Colorado Vol
unteers, and two companies of U. S.
Infantry under Capt. Lewis were
sent to the Ranche to fall upon them.
Colonel Slough, accordinff b to pro
gramme, gave way gradually, which
left the supply train of the rebels un
supported, which Major Crittenden
easily captured, together with about
fifty loaded wagons, which were
burned, and twenty prisoners and a
2-pound howitzer taken from us at
Fort Craig which was spiked by our
troops.
Col. Slough's command then fell
back to a strong position. Our tro
phies are 100 prisoners, privates and
officers, from 100 to 200 killed and
wounded, one Major and two Cap
tains, &c. Our loss is about 18 or
20 killed including Lieutenant Baker,
Colorado - Volunteers, and 30 or 40
wounded ; three or four officers were
also wounded. It is supposed the
rebel Gen. Sibley will advance upon
Colonel Slough with his entire force,
Prom
_4,000 to 5,000 strong, and that
Colonel Slough will fall back upon
the trenches at Depot Union.
At last accounts Colonel Canby
had not left Fort Craig. With Colo
nel Slough's command, it is believed
that he can hold Fort Union against
any force the rebels can bring
against it. • The whole command en

The rebels have been for several
days building large fortifications on
the Gloucester side of York river,
about two miles from Yorktown, and
within sight of our gunboats, but
their guns were of too long a range
to allow of the approach of the
boats to shell the works. About one

WASHINGTON, April 18.—A portion
of Gen. McDowell's army, day be
fore yesterday, marched from the
vicinity. of Warrenton Junction upon
Fredericksburg. The distance was
18 or 20 miles which it accomplished
by seven a. m., yesterday morning.
Its progress was disputed by a force
of one regiment of infantry, one of
cavalry and a battery of artillery,
which attempted to make two dis
tinct stands. They were, however,
driven across the Rappahannock,
after inflicting upon us a loss of five
killed and sixteen wounded, all CaV
ry, including Lieut. Decker, of the
Harris cavalry, killed. ' Col. Fitzpat
rick was wounded, and a valuable
scout, named Britton, badly wound
ed.. Col. Bayard's horse was badly
wounded under him.
Immediately after making their
escape across the Rappahannock
bridge, opposite Fredericksburg, the
rebels applied the torch, thus delay
ing temporarily our progress into
the town. By this time, however,
that obstacle is probably overcome.
It is not known what had been the

The Battle of Pittsburgh Landing !
Four Thousand Graves of the Fallen.
PITTSBURGH LANDING, TENN.,
Aril 16th, 1862.
On Sunday afternoon 1 rode over
the battle field, which extends over
an area of twenty miles; the earth
is ploughed up with shot and shell;
the trees are marked with musket
balls; in some instances I found as
many as fifty imbedded in a single
tree a font in diarnotor ; etu•tridgo
boxes, haversacks, clothing and guns
are strewn all over the field, and
everything bears abundant testimo
ny to the terrible strife wagirt on
those dreadful days of April. In
the hollows and streams, and entan
gled in the dense underbrush, are
many of the rebel dead rotting in the
hot sun.
General Grant reports to Gov.
Yates that his details have tuned over
4,000 bodies of the slain! There is no
doubt that the rebels lost many more
in killed than we did, for our men
fired to kill, and theirs to wound,
and both carried out their orders to
the letter. If any one has doubts
whether the battle of Monday was a
defeat to the enemy, one glance at
the field from which they were driven
and the horrors it presented, will settle
the question. Tiley ran, and "ran
well for a season," until far within
their lines ; but to th them justice,
it was not until they had fought
well.
We have already collected 10,000
stand of arms, a few of them of the
old flint lock pattern, but mostly of
good quality and effective. It is a
mistaken idea that the rebels are
destitute of arms. They have an
abundance of the most approved and
modern patterns, and are by no
means ignorant of their use.
General Halleck has taken up his
quarters one half a mile from the
Landing, in a large tent. He is look
ing well. His army is in excellent
spirits, and even the regiments that
had suffered most are not demoral
ized, but eager to meet the enemy
again.
Yesterday, about daylight, I was
awakened by an extensive volley of
musketry, evidently proceeding
from our extreme a dvance. Imme
diately the utmost surprise perva
ded our lines, and the different regi
ments began to place themselves in
readiness for an attack. Batteries
hitched on their horses, and for a
time the impression gained ground
that our line was attacked from Cor
inth. The musketry was sharp and
rapid for a half hour, and then ceased
as suddenly as it commenced. I
learned the cause during the day.—
General Sherman received orders to
advance his division three miles
towards Corinth, in advance of our
lines. In the execution of his order,
he came in contact with an infantry
confederate force and about one
thousand cavalry, with whom he had
a sharp skirmish, resulting in the dri
ving in of the enemy and our hold
ing the desired position. I have not
learned the extent of our loss or that
of the enemy. It was probably in
considerable. I am told that it is
the intention of General lialleck to
advance slowly, say a half mile a
day, and hold the advanced position
at all hazards, I take it this ad
vance is the inauguration of this
system of tactics. One thing is cer
tain, no considerable advance can be
made until the drying of the roads.
At present they are impassable for
artilleny. A lady has just arrived
from Corinth with dates to the 15th
inst. She reports that the rebels
considered the battle of Sunday and
and Monday last, as a brilliant vic
tory for the confederate arms.—
They had demonstrated the ability
of their troops to drive off the feder
a/s, and characterized the disgrace
ful rout of Sunday as equal to the
Bull Unix panic, They say that the
only circumstance that saved our for
ces from utter annihilation was
the opportune arrival of General
Buell's forces. The intelligence was
telegraphed to Southern papers and
caused universal joy throughout the
entire Confederacy. Since the "evac
uation" of their position at P.itts
burgh, they have diligently fortified
Corinth, durrille pits, thrown up
abat i tis of trees to impede the prog-
Ania of federal infantry and cavalry,
and planted heavy gunk upon the
eminences by which Corinth is sur
rounded, and are confident of suc
cess. Our informant insists that
the enemy's force at Corinth num
bers fully 170,000 men, and are con
fident of running the "Yankees"
from Tennessee.
Capt. Madison, of Clark county,
Illinois Siege Battery, is entitled to
the honor of killing the rebel Gener
al Johnston. A shell from his 64-
pounder exploded in the front of a
tree near which he was standing,
and killed him and six of his staff.
General Smith, (Paducah Smith,)
is in command of the post at Savan
nah. He has been on the sick list
for some time, and until quite recent
ly has been considered convalescent.
I understand to-day that his disease
has taken an unfavorable turn, and
that fears are entertained for his re
covery.
The wounded are dying at Savan
nah at the rate of eight or ten a day.
Late from Pittsburg Landing.
A special trom Pittsburg, dated
the 18th, to a St. Louis paper, says:
—The telegraph line has been com
pleted to this place, and the office is
now at Gen. lialleck's headquarters.
Gen. Hailed( has his quarters with
the army in the field, and great en
thusiasm exists among the troops at
his presence. A reconnoissance was
yesterday made by a body of five
thousand cavalry, in the direction of
Corinth. They came upon the ad
vanced guard of the enemy, compos
ed of Texas Rangers, about eight
miles from here. A skirmish ensued,
when they retreated. Their infan
try were strongly posted on the oth
or side of a creek, the bridge over
which they had burned.
The rebels are known to be at
least one hundred thousand strong at
Corinth, and evidently determined
to make a stand. Their Generals
are Beauregard, Bragg, Polk. Har
dee, Breckinridge and John S. Bowen.
The correct loss in killed in the late
battle was, on our side, fifteen hund
red—on that of the rebels, three
thousand. Our total loss is nine thou
sand, killed, wounded and missing.
It was reported the rebels were
erecting a masked batery below
here on the river, near Clifton. The
gunboat Tyler went down, but fail
ed to discover any such preparations.
Skirmishes are constantly- occurring
between our pickets and those of the
enemy. Gen. Mitchell is reported
to have taken several siege guns on
their way to Beauregard, and inter
cepted some important dispatches.
A party just returned as I close
brings about two hundred wounded
rebels, found abandoned in the woods
between here and theiradvance pick
ets, eight miles away.

CHICAGO, April 22.—Special dis
patches to the Times from Cairo :
An arrival from Pittsburg brings the
following :
The weather in this quarter has
bcenvery unfavorable for movements
of the army during the last tl.ree
days. The rain fell incessantly, and
it is now utterly impossible for the
army to move. Although the mud
is very deep, preparations are going
on, so that when the roads improve,
the army will be ready for battle.
Beauregard is being constantly
reinforced. Citizens of Memphis
and .New Orleans are throwing up
their business and occupations, and
flocking to his standard, believing
on the ensuing battle depends the
fate of the valley of the Mississippi.
It is thought by those who knew
best, that a majority of the Southern
people will lay down their arms and
return to the Union, if defeated at
Corinth, while their leaders are as
stubborn and desperate as ever.
Five of the rebel miscreants who
fired on the steamer Minnehaha on

General Grant had been put under
arrest for conduct at Pittsburgh

for bravery, &c.. on that occasion,
but assigns to him the active com
mand of his troops in the field.—
This settles the question. The re

I. The Major General command

General Grant and Major General

their respective commands, for the
bravery and endurance with which
they sustained the general attacks
of the enemy on the 6th, and for the
heroic manner in which, on the 7th
inst., they defeated and routed the
entire rebel army. The soldiers of
the great West have added new lau

on numerous fields.
H. While congratulating the
troops on theirglorious successes,
the commanding General desires to
impress upon all, officers as well as
men, the necessity of greater disci
pline and order. These are as essen
tial to the success as to the health of
the army, and without them we can
not long expect to be victorious ; but
with them we can march forward to

All present probabilities are that

BV MAJOR JACK DOWNING, OF DOWNING VILLE
I have run on so about politicks
and so fourth, that I eenamoust for
got to tell you about Mrs Liukin's
party. I've seen a good- many big
things in that way since I was a boy,
but this was a ledtle ahead of all.—
The sojers and the wimmen, and the
cabbynet, and the forren Ministers
Penitenshery, with their Seckataries
of Litegashin were all thar. The
tables were all kivered over• with su
gar frost, eenamost as white as a
Maine snow bank, and Mrs. Linkin
lucked like a young gal out of schule.
The way she did intertane the kum
pany was a eau shin to peepul who
don't know the ropys. Insine Steb

was thar, and of there is a smart ful

He kin rite poetry almost equil to

him. When the kumpany were sot
down to the table, Deacon Jenkins
was kalled on to say grace,and wen
they got thru the umpany
kalled on In i sine Stebbins to sing a
paradox which he had kumposed es
pecially for the occashin :
From Varmount's icy mountains,
From licker,hatin' Maine.
Where streams of golden whiskey
Go strate agin the grane ;
From menny a country cawkis,
From monny a country shop,
We cum to greet thee Linkin,
At this here Linkin hop !
Wot tho' the Nor' West breezes
Blow sutu o'er Georgetown . hill,
And likewise also freezes
The troops at Turner's Mill;
Vat tho' the army 'flosses •
Die off for want of food,
We'll drink Old Rye with Abram,
Because Old Rye is good.
Wat tho' the Yankee nashin
Pores out the warlike flud,
And sojers of all stashin
Are stationed in the mud
Wat tholthe sly contractors
Defraud us rite and left,
And Uncle Sam's old stockin'
Of all his cash is rat ?
Wot tho' the taxis plague us,
And heeps of corn must spile,
While poor folks three times over
Their coffee grounds must bile ?
_T)oes not great Dr. Cheerer,
(And shall he speak in vain ?)
Command us to delivur
The land from slavery's chime ?
Shall we, whose hearts are litened
With rye and cakes, and wine,
Shall we to Cuff and Dinah
Give nought but crust and rine ?
Abolition !' Abolition !
The joyful sound proclame,
'Till each remotest nigger
Has learned the Linkin name!
'Amen! seel-er!' yelled out Deacon
Jenkins, at the very tip-top of his
voice, wile nigh about the hull
kun
puny seemed to be hily tickled, ex
cept Linkin and his wife and me. I
was so mad that I eenamost bust
my oiler. I went rite strate up to
the Insine and ses I, 'lnsine Stebbins,
I knowed you and Deacon Jenkins
was both red-hot Abolitionists, but
thought all the folks in Downingville
had kommun Bence, and wood know
better than to interduce pollyticks
on a festive occashion, specially eny
thing faverabul to Cheever and
Gree-lie and kumpany, who are the
hull time abusin' Lipkin and Mrs.
Linkin." Then the Insine sed that
Sumnure had helped him rite the
paradox, just on purpose to see how
Linkin wood like it. "Wal," I told
him, "that that was just as much
sense as well as manners as I sbud
expect from Sumnure." Then Dea
con Jenkins cum up and sed som
thing, and lit on him for hollerin
'Amen' rite afore the hull diplomat
ick core, just as of he'd been at a
prayer meeting, in the Downingville
Sande house. Mrs. Linkin was very
much pleased at the way I laid
down the law to the Deacon. The
Kurnel didn't say mush, but he look
ed daggers out of his ize, and seemed
nigh about as cross as a cross-cut saw
all the rest of the evenin'. The bawl,
howsomever, went off in all other

DIED, on the 27th day of March, 1862,
at her father's residence, on Fish Creek,
Greene Co., Pa., HARRIET WHITE, in the
24th year of her age.
Sister White was a Christian in every
!sense of the expression. her mildness of
temper and amiableness of disposition,
sanctified as they were, by the hallowing
influence of deep personal piety, caused
her to be universally beloved and respected
by all who knew her. She lived in the
hearts of her neighbors, and by the con
stant, though unobtrusive exercise of the
gentler virtues, she exerted a salutary in
fluence, not only on her associates at home,
but among all with whom she met. Many
of her school-mates' at Waynesburg will
recollect how she lived for heaven while
prosecuting her studies there. Her char
acter in every relation—domestic, social,
and religious—was above the slighteet re
proach.
She joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church in early life.
The writer of this short sketch, had
several interesting religious conversations
with her just before her last afflic
tion in which, she gave pleasing evidences
of an abiding hope. Her death was sudden
and unexpected. She was ready. When
she found that the weary wheels of life
were ceasing to move she bade them an
affectionate adieu, and •passed away from
earth, but in her death left ample testimo
ny that she was ready for her departure.

AVER'S SARSAPARILLA
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla , eo
I
combined with other substances of still greater al
lenitive power as to afford an eactive antidcte for
diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. Su ch a reme
dy is surely wanted by those who surfer from diru
mons complaints. and that one which will accomplis
their cure must prove of immense service to this large
class of our afflicted fellow-c itizens. How completely
this compound will do it has been proven by experi
ment on many of the worst cases to be found in the
I °flowing complaints :
Scrofida and Scrofulous complaints, Eruptions and
Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors,
Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, „Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or
JSc Doloreux, Debility, Dyspepsia and Indigestion,
Erysipelas, Bose or St. Anthony's Fire, and indeed
the whole class o C complaints at ising front Impurity
of the Blood.
This compound will be found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul
humors which fester in the blood at that season of the
year. By the timely expulsion of them many !alibiing
disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the
endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through
which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions,
if not assisted to do this thiough the natural channels
of the body by an altetative medicine. Cleanse out
the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, es
sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul,
and yoreg feelings will tell you when. Even where
no partiNlar disorder is telt, people enjoy better
health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep
the blood healthy, sod all is well; but with the pabu
lum of life disordered, [bete can be no lasting health.
soon , . r r later something must go wrong, and the
great machinery of life Is disordered or overthrown.
During late years the public have been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of
saisaparilla for one dollar. Must of these. have been
frauds upon i be sick, for they not only contain little
if any Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties
whatever. thence, bitter and painful disappointment
has hi/lowed the use (tittle various extracts of Sarsa
parilla whioh Hood the market, until the name itself te
justly despised, and has become sytiononious with
imposition and the tt. Still we call this compound
Satsaltarilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as
shall rescue the name front the load of obloquy which
rests upon it. And we think we have ground fax' be
lieving it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordi
nary run of the diseases it,is intended to cure.
