GOT. YATES, OF ILLINOIS, VISITS THE rrtLD,
On arriving at Pittsburgh yesterday morn
ing, the first care of Gov. Yatesand party was
to examine the battle Sold. This required
active exertion on horseback till about two
o'clock. Meantime word bad gone about the
camps that all the wounded Illinois boys
should be notified and placeo upon the steam
er in the aften3ooo. The is narrated by
the members of the party are full of thrilling
interest.. West of the battle field ie heavily
wooded, and the trees on both sides are, in
some parts of it, literally filled with musket
balls—the wide of the tree in which they are
found at once indicating the source from
whence they came. The under-brush appears
literally mowed off about breast high, by
some. unheard of machinery that has gone
'crashing through with fearful power. Thp
effects of the cannon shot are of course the
most marked and terrible: Some awful fiend
seemed bent on mutilating the grand old for
est in every conceivable Conn. Every where
~all the elements of death and desolation seem
ed. to have followed the battling hosts, and to
have grappled in hateful strife for the - mastery.
No language can give even a faint idea of the
fearful reality. One of the tents where Dick
ey's cavalry was encamped, sheered two hun
dred and thirty ballet holes through it.

of allusions and incidents to excite to the
highest pitch the enthusiasm of his troops.
lie told them to keep cool, to stand firm,
maintain pierfett discipline, and to fire hoe.
One wounded was as good as four dead, for it
would take two_or three -comrades to carry
him from the Held. This would be their last
battle. Destroy this magnilicentfederal army
and their march would be uninterrupted to the
Ohio, and peace would speedily follow. The
■etgeon thinks Beauregard believed what he
said, and continued to do so till about two
o'clock in the afternoon. He sass'an officer
ride up in haste and speak for a moment,
when the rebel general's countenance fall. In
a few minutes another, and soon some half.
dozen had told their tale of disaster. And
now herculean efforts were made to rally the
yielding columns, but the day was lost, and
with the words to retreat many scalding tears
fell from manly but traitor cheeks. Never
did disaster and defeat seem more bitter and
overwhelming. •
WHAT THE lIKEILL YIIIBOIIICREI OAT.
A party of them, well known in St. Louis,
where they are at borne, have been taken there
as prisoners ; and they tell the editor of the
Democrat the following story
. Generals Price and Van Dorn, previoulily
reported at the battle, were not there, nor any
'of their forces. Gen. Prentice surrendered
about 4 o'clock on Sunday evening. The rebel
°Melte say he and his men fought wall, but
were completelytaurrounded when they gave
up. They also say that their army was drawn
t in fine < - 1 bort/. on Soturdny ni 9 4t within a
fair hnadred yards of ow camps, and plainly
saw our men going in and out of their tents.
Their Gentrale,would not let them build their
camp fires (or fear of discovery. But for the
rain and terrible condition of the reads, and
the delay in the arrival of some of - their rein
forcements, they would have been down von
no Saturday morning. Our gunboats, they ad
mit, eared our - army from complete annihila
tion on Sunday night. They nay they cannot
underhand toky we Add oo scouts or pickets
out. They poured into our camps without re
sistance,And in many cases slew or captured
oar soldiers in their tents.
"In their opinion, they have won a great
victory. They claim to have routed us from
our camp, captured our guns, and taken 8,000
prisoners. The fight on Monday was simply
defensive, as they claim they retired in good
order from the field. Their camp, they state,
now at Pea Aidge, - a few =Gee south of
Pittsburgh, where they will make • grand
stand."
Of course rebel testimony in such a matter
is to be taken with many grains of eilowaeee;
but as it be supported by the complaints of
every letter.wrlter from the camp, whether be
be a soldier or civilian, that part of it which
relates to the disposition of the enemy before
the attack, about which there it now no in
ducement to lie, may, we think, be received
as a near approach to the truth.
SOUL ONS BLONDERLD.
I propose now to allude to two oircuus
stances which.rerprire verydelicate handling,
as the eatiaesaire not fully explained, and in
nocent persotie may be censured.
All have, no doubt, asked the question bow
- it was possible that, in tbo immediate vicini
ty of an enemy ao powerful and wary, when
such enormous issues were at stake, our army
should have been surprised, that sixty thou
mnd troops should have moved upon our ad-
VatiCal SO that they were upon us, and cap
tured three regiments, as appears in many
cases, before their guns were loaded ?
.ninme "no hail blmulered.”
One statement is that the captain of the
picket guard of Gon. Prentiss' brigade was so
drunk as to be totally unfit for duty. This
.may be only a, report. Possibly the pickets
wore captured.
.7116 MEDICAL DEPARTIIIINT
Another circumstance, which, whether ow
rng to mismanagement of negligence, or want
of material and men, is unutterably melan
choly, was the want of medical attendance,
stumbled into a tent not fifty yards,from the
hospital, where lay one of the rebel wounded,
a young man apparently not over eighteen
yearaof age,' who naidle had received no at.

I tried to find him he was gone, whether to the
boat or grave I know not. In another tent
lay two of the dead. On the evening of the
battle,, directly .in the pathway, lying in the
mud with nothing bet a blanket beneath 'Mini
and surrounded by curious lookers on, was a
Confederate officer, groaning
,and apparently
dying. Two orAirect hours afterwards the
scone was being enacted. I related these cir
cumstances to one of the surgeons,- who told
me that all was disorder and confruion ; that
there - bad been no organisation or , system.

The horror of hot:tors connected with this
battle, is the treatment of the wounded. In
the first place there were poor facilities for
treating them; and in the second place there
were not a fifth enough surgeons to attend to
them. I would gladly draw a veil over the
horrors on this point, but duty to our gal

told. A large number of the wounded had

From the following letter, it will be -N11412

..".817XDAY, April
We found the fleet tills morning ; at two
o'clock lying anchored abreast of' Noindhani's
Island, and at the mouth ofa cot off, on the
Tennessee .ore, fifty-nine miles below New
Madrid. Needhim's Island and cot off ore
usually designated simply as Needham's Cat
Off. These "cut offs" are channels formed by
the current in the circular bends of the river.
The floods are constantly washing away the
honks by which new channels an formed, abd
in this instance running some distance in
land, communicating with the river agsin
about a mile below. The whole fleet Was
lying upon the Tennessee shore, with the ex

was the same coat the Island, with the addi

Pennsylvania Troops in the Battle at

A letter just received from Dr. Irish, of Ms
city, flurgeon of the - 77th' Itegithent,
(col. Stambaugh), written upon the field of
the recent engagement at Pittsburgh Land
ing, contains the following allusion to the part
taken by that. Regiment in the engagement:
"We were, I believe - , the only regiment in
the field from Pennsylvania. We have earned

The New Iron-Clad Gun'oat.
A description of the new iron lad gun
boat, the - Galena, which was partl built at
- Mystic, Conn., and afterwards' - brought to
r
this port to receive her engines a d arma
ment, and be prepared Air sea, as pub
i
lished in the...Sl:ening Post reCentl . . Some
very important alterritions in the plan of
Construction have since been made, by
which her Strength and power.of resistance
Will be rrindered much greater than was at
first deemed practicable. The most im-:
yortant of these alterations, are, first, the
extention of the iron mail over . the bow
and stern of the boat, instead of .using
common plates, according to the original
design; and second, the increase to three
and a quarter inches in thickness of the
mail on the upper wall or shot-proof
-covering of the fighting deck which pro
tects the batteries. This covering slopes
inward at an angle of about fortp-five de
grees,
aisd the sheathing was to have: been
but two inclieti in thickness. The changes, , 1
it is believed; will effectually protect the
gunners, and render the vessel absolutely
impregnable to ordinary projectileS.
The object which it was designed to se
cure in the construction of this vessel has
hitherto been deemed impossible of accom
plishment, and the project was, therefore,
like the building of the Monitor, an ex
periment. The novel proposition, and one
that seemswholly inconsistent with itself,
was made by a citizen of Boston—the well
known naval architect, Samuel H. rook.
It was substantially as follows: That a
vessel could be -built, twohuridred - feirt, in
length, thirty-six .feet breadth-of.bearp,
and of. one thousand tons burthen—the
size and description of a war vessel of thiS
ordinary construction;' which would re- -
quire a depth of water of about twelve feet
—and yet that the boat should be strong
enough to sustain a shot-proof covering,
have a draft of water of but ten to twelve
feet, and contain engines and machinery
which would give her a speed of twelve
knots per hour—in short, that she should
be entirely seaworthy, as perfectly adapted
to the purposes of cruising as the "wooden
walls" in common use, and, in addition, be
impenetrable.
To accomplish these objects a hull of
peculiar model, designed to elect a greater
displacement of water than is ordinarily
secured, was built, and upon it four hun
dred tons of armor have been plaCed, with
entirely succeessful results. Experiments
have been made with the machinery i which
justify the expectation that the spec4l Of
the vessel will be equal to what was orig
inally anticipated—twelve Miles per hour.
At a little distance the appearance of the
Galena is emoothe and regular, her curved
lines and rounded form, diminishing her
apparent sire. A chew inspection reveals
the joints of the longitudinal plates with
which she is covered, but not a bolt-head
is visable. This is one of the peculiarities
of her mail , which is of a new design.
By means of flanges and tongues the heads
of the bolts are entirely covered, and thus
a source of weakness in the iron plating
generally in use is obviated.
The ports are covered with heavy armor,
are divided horizontally, open in the mid
dle, and are moved by levers which may be
worked with great rapidity. In the middle
of the port-covers boles are constructed of
sufficient size to allow the muzzle of the
gun to protrude; but these holes have
covers carefully fitted, and deemed to be
quite as impenetrable as the mailed sides
of the vessel, which have in addition to the
armor, an average thichness of fourteen
inches of solid oak.
On the upper deck a pilot house of a
nearly round form has been constructed.
It hag seven aloolr,outsi" or narrow open
ings, and its wallsOiro Composed of nine
plates, the outek plate an inch in thickness
and the others half-inch.
. .
The hatchways and sky-lights, of which
there are several on the upper deck,- arc .
secured ~with heavy iron grating four
inches in depth.
The smoke-pipe—the most exposed.por
tion of the whole—ii so constructed that a
shot through it, or even its entire demoli
tion, would not only not disable the steam
er, but would not materially affect the
speed. An iron grating has been built
through it, and bands around it at the base,
