A.Narrativeofthe Expedition to Pitts.
btirgh Landing.
• The battle of Pittsburgh Landing was
. fought on the lith and 7th of April, and on
the 11th, au expedition started from this city,
conelating of the steamboats J. W. Heilman,
and Marengo, with &sufficient number of sur
geons and nurses, all under the general direc
tion of F. Brunet, Esq. The names of the
ladies and gentlemen composing the expe-di
. don ave been and will again be published.
A ple stores of all kinds were taken, to
geth r with material, for making as many cots
or tsks, as would fill every available space
onboth boats. On Saturday the company
1 Wail divided into working parties. To the la
th was assigned the tank of making mot
tles, pillows, sheets and towels; and that
do e, the remainder of the muslin was work
ed plate shirts, to increase the stock we had
WI band. , '.They labored with unflagging in
d try mail lee arrived at the end of our voy
a eof twelve hundred miles!, To a party of
atlemen was assigned the, work of filling
attnuraes and pillows; to another that of
eking portable bunks, out or narrow planed
stuff shipped for the purpose. The making of
over 300 of those, gave no small amount of
labor. Others were employed in other need
ful arrangements and when we arrived at our
destination all was ready for the reception of
_ the objects - of our miasion. It was soon ap
parent, however, that some of the younger
gentlemen of the party had found more and
harder labor than they supposed they had
bargained for; bat, as they , were in'for it, they
' did their-parts pretty well.
Daring the trip down the Ohio, and up the
Tennessee, the weather was fine and it was
• interesting to note the rapid advance in vege
tation, aa we mowed tomore eonthern climes.
On the upper Ohio, the fdrests were as naked
as ill wintar;on the lower Ohio we found vegeta
tion like what it is here in tho middle of May;
_ r while on the Tennessee the trees were clothed
in lull foliage, and it looked like June.

As comparatively- few of the people of this
part of the' country have seen this river, a
brief sketch of it may not be out of place.
Standing on the dock at a steamer at the land
ing,•qd Paducah, which stands on the south
bank of the Ohic, just below the junction, the
Tanneesee presents a noble appearance--broad,
straight, and, but for the presence of its
mighty, rival, would be deemed a largo river.
It is, perhaps somewhat lese_than the Ohio
- between Pittsburgh and Wheeling, but is con
- siderably larger thane. the Allegheny. Both
Were in high flood when we were there. One
N —remarkable Raab, of the Tennessee, is the
' '-`, itneighttoura of its channel. There are bands,
1 '' Ala true, but they are no where adrupt, as on
..our rivers. The ' banks are in many places
tlow, and subject to overflow. In some places
~ bills axe visiblefrom the river; but none are
thigh like thoseskirting our , rivers. In many
the river leathes perpendicular lime
sun bid% front forty to seventy feet high.
The and, both hill and valley, appears to be
very fertile, and is heavily timbered. But
the feature of , the scenery, that strikes the
northern stranger with the must surprise, is
Abe absence of improvement. La - some pl aces
fur miles there is nothing but an unbroken
Sorest ; and, when a "clearing" does make its
„appearance, the total absence of neatness or
, abriß, and the miserable habitations,-all de
note the presence of some blighting curse, and
~,.•• know what that curse is. For a space of
me r e ‘ than two hundred and fifty miles, there
is no t s • same of decent dwellings ornell-tell
ed farms .14111 in all that distance there is but
-* one e m u ,. voor, porerty-stricken Savannah
—the plate i l .h:re so many of our brave fel
lows h e y. h tegi n e lted and died. It is said
th a t th e Ta n ey o f th,7 . • river is unhealthy, and
I believe it; torso - rich ..e, soil, no rank a wog

-that, and ware it one of the. e w e ; delightful

OS the *mein of Wednesday, the 16th, we
reached this now eatibrated point. Itiza more
- beading at a road in the woods. There are,
if I remember correctly. one or two shabby
; buildings, bat everything else, sive the effects
- ' Ofinnumerible feet of mon and horses, is in a
, • 'State of Miter*. About an acre of ground,
comparatively level, , lies at the landing,
bounded'on the land side by an. adrupt hill,
of twine sixty feet, which brings us to the
general lend of the extensive table land on
which the battle was fought. ,
,Till asrrx,e-runn.
Theiribels, who are better acquainted with
the ' tannefrelattlie of this locality, call this
great struggle, "the battle of • Shiloh," and
writers on our side are adopting the same
name. I inquired why it was so called, and
was told tat Shiloh was the name of a
church embraced in the extensive area over
which the conflict raged, which is probably
the fact.. The teed would; in Pennsylvania,
be called level, rather than ,hilly, although it
is broken -in many places by ravines, with
sides so sloping that men and horses mild
run across them without much impediment.
Roads traverse it in various directions, the
' _principal of which is the one leading from the
" Landing " to Corinth. The entire battle
~
is a for field, wi th au exception hardly worth noting,
ilit
t, bat so tree from underbrush that ,
--"
cavalry and artillery could move through it in
.. a anyostdirection. In the four, hours that
,
&Fa rambled aver it we could not of course see
.oaef of it; for the field of conflict covered
, „prob ably not lase than fifteen equate miles;
-.andan that broad and bloody field, trampled
no hardness in one place and to mire in &mad
2are by fiercely opposing boats, we found the
'
laid *amps of nearly one hundred thousand
~ .ectos,,allm, resolute, and even cheerful, amid
the gra t ves of their fallen commits. It was
et sight to stir the soul to its depths. There
• -was music among the tents, but no boisterous
mirth. We waited from group to group of
. "the boya," and talked with them and they
with us, with all the cordiality of friends and
brethren. Each would recount some incident
of the terrible struggle, and meaty pointed
oat localities where inch and inch things took
pbme. I salted several:of the' men whether
they felt ready for another struggle. ...Yes,
indeed.," was the reply,"we want to finish up
this bustuese and go home." They nre cheer
ful and hopeful; but note word of bragged°-
, via did I hear of what they had done or would
- do. - -Thee "wow of the ranks fore their country,
i bar they abhor war. "Will you go back?" - I
asked Several' sick and wounded whom we
brought away. "I will as soon as I am able,"
was thearnvarying answer.
,That battle has been well described, so I
need not attempt anything like a description
of it, a thing which I could not'do if I would.
Mat I cannel but speak of the unpardonable
zieglept of somebody, which calmed the disas
trous atuprise of Sunday morning. So sad,
oleo, so unexpected was the attack that one
outlying regiment were caught asleep in their
taw, the rebel aoldiera opening their doors

g ro undandgetheredtrophies TitiOIIS kinds,
still when we were there the ground was
strewed with balls and broken sihells, and few
of our party cam* away without a "secesh"
musket: - One gentleman got an enormous
• Bowie knife, which some bloody minded filis
issippiati had carried to the field and left it,
together with his own carcase. Ilardly a
tree was to be seen but bore more or lees marks
of balls. I was told of one upon which fifty
scars were counted. I saw one more than fif
teen inches in diameter cut entirely off.
On Wednesday evening we observed a few
men working on the face of the hill, not far
from the boats. We turned aside to see, and
found them engaged in digging a grave for a
dead rebel soldier, who had lain there for some
time wrappedin his blanket. The work was
done with little ceremony, but with descent
propriety. No ribald word' was uttered by
anybody. Before he was laid in his lonely
resting place we uncovered his face. It was
ghastly,_ but neither swollen nor discolored.
He had been rather a good looking youth of
about twenty. That solitaryone,like Stern's
solitary prisoner, made a sadder impression
than whole hecatombs of slain foes. Per
chance he had been forbad into the unholy
service. It may be that a mother and sisters
were at that moment weeping for him. Per
haps no human eye of either friend or foe
rested upon his mortal agonies, and no hand
proffered to his burning lips a sup of cold
water. He was an enemy, but he is not so
Row, and if a tear dropped beside his rude
grave, it was not without cause, and 1 walked
away with a deepened impression of the hor
rible wickedness of this rebellion.
'2IIZ SICK ♦ND WOUNDED
--- • • •
All the wounded had bean removed from
the Landing, except one rebel, who was car
ried on board the “Ittarongo." He was mor
tally wounded, and died the next day. He
was kindly treated, but his life could not be
saved. - The Hallman remained at the Land
ing until evening, to gather what sick were
there, while the Marengo &tipped down a few
miles to a place willed Orump's Landing,
where there was a hospital barge crowded
with sick men. Here we took on board about
a hundred, some of whom were evidently pant
recovery. But the majority of the poor fel
lows soon began to improve under the kind
attentions of our lady nurses who, as soon
as they were laid upon their Clean and com
fortable beds, with basins, towels andlmbe,
soon made: them feel as if they wore at Gino.
Several of hem remarked that it was like
home. To bbe sick and suffering soldier, there
is nothing under heaven so soft and sweet as
the hand and voice of woman, Well did a
poet apostrophise her when ho said,
"When pain and anguish wrlog the brow
A ministering angel thou.."
In the evening both boats met at Savannah,
where we filled np with wounded men—per
haps a few more sick. This occupied us until
Friday evening, when we had in all a little
over four hundred. We the, started on our
way home. That evening the weather be
came wet, chilly and very unpleasant.
Each boat was divided into several wards and
phyliciane and nurses were assgned to each.
On the Marengo, four of. our men, and the
wounded rebel before spoken of, dfed-on the
passage; and the bodies, placed in neat cof
fins, were left, two at Savannah, two at
-Evansville and ono at Cincinnati. We loft
the sick and wounded wherever they desired
to be left—a few at Paducah, two or three at
Shawneetown, still more at Evansville and
New Albany, ands large number at Cincinnati.
The greater part of our charge consisted of
Indiana and Ohio men. I did not discover •
single Pennsylvanian. We brought nearly
seventy to Pittsburgh, and would gladly have
brought more had they been willing to come ;
bat they preferred to be loft in their own
States, and many of the sick, and some of the
wounded, were so far recovered as to be able
to go directly' to their homes.
The reader will perceive that this is not a
report, but only • general narrative. The
writers place was on board the Marengo, and
his observations confined principally to what
transpired on that boat; and he thinks he ex
presses the sentiment of - all his companions
in a laborious and deeply interesting trip, in
Fearing testimony to the kindness of Capt. A.
C. McCallum. lie did all in his power to
promote the comfort of his passengers, and
cordially entered into tho social and benevo
lent objects of their mission.
Should another expedition of the kind be
called for,—as is very probable—too much care
cannot be taken in the selection of surgeons
and nurses, especially the latter. A mistake
here may be at the sacrifice of life. On the
Marengo--I shall say nothing about the other
baiat—we had some very faithful curses, some
who shrank from no task however revolting,
and who could and did speak kindly to those
noble felloWs who, at great sacrifice,
have shielded our homes from the alarms of
war and the horrors of invasion—some who
could *peak of that Loving One who gives rest to
the weary and the heavy laden; but I am at the
same time constrained to say that there were
twd or three Wrho,ought nut to have under
taken t work\ for which they evidently_ had no
h ear t. There was one especially who,
I be
lieve, sacrificed not one-hour's sleep in behalf
of the sick and suffering around him. He was
old enough to have known better; bet he
seemed alike reckless of the groans of the Buf
feters or the weariness of his companions.
Those pcoud, cold, sensual eyes, peering oat
above that ;bushy and somowhot grizaled
beard, as their owner sat at his ease on the
ladies' softformed - a queer picture in such a
place, one that might hare been laughed at,.
had not disgust overcome risibility. Such a
man is well enough in his place,—an oyster
holm for example—but he had no business
thin. Is this language harsh and severe?
Perhaps it is; but its apology, if it needs any,
is found in the simple truth, that no man has
a sight to place himself in a position such as
he occupied, who could not or would not dis
charge its appropriate duties; for by en doing
be excluded some one who would have faith--
fully performed his part.
This expedition was a great success, and
was the inesina, - of saving mazy lives ; and
those generous men who gave so liberally to
wards Its outfit have a rich reward. I cannot
close-without bearing testimony to the un
wearied efforts of Mr. Brenot in behalf of the
suffering objects of the mission of which be
was the general and efficient manager. J. c.
Murderers Ordered to be Rung by
Gen— Fremont.
Three men named Henry Kuhl, Hamilton
W. Windon and Conrad Kohl, eitirens of
Braxton county, Va., have been tried by
'Court Martial at Charleston,Va., by order of
Oen. Fremont, for. be murer of an unknown
Union soldier, on or about the 27th of July
last, at..or near the residence of the said floury
Kubl. :The allegation was that these men at
tacked the deceased, with a scythe, and beat
and cataim so that he died. - Henry Kuhl
and Hamilton W. Windon plead guilty, and
were ordered to be hting—thelormer at-But
tonville, On. Friday, the 9th of May next, and
the latter at such time and place as the Com
manding
..Conrad-Kuhl plead "not gitilty," but the
Commisilan found him guilty. The Ending
was approved, and the criminal was . directed
to be taken' to the Dry. Tortugas, or auCh
other unfinished fOrtification as the fieneral
Commanding may direct, to be kept at hard
labor, with ball and chain attached to the left
ankle,*during the war." He was subsequent,
ly ordered to be taken to. the military prison
at Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, and be
there put at hard labor for the tem aforesaid,
under the orders of the of of 'said prison.
- A few wholesome examples, like the above,
will have the effect of checking the bleod
thirsty_spirit of some of the marauding hinds
of rebels who inhabit the "Mountain De
partment."

The Rights of Lumbermen.
An Important ease has just been tried in
the United States CircuitiCourt„ at Washing
ton, respecting the right , z:f lumbermen to re
cover the value of timber seized by other par
ties during freshets. The case is as follows:
John Dubois and Elias S. Lowe vs. Green
lief Johnson—action of trover to recover
damages from defendant, living at Rohoboth,
Somerset county, for converting to his own
use 104 logs, alleged to contain 25,000 feet,
valued at $2OO, belonging to plaintiff's, citi
zens of Pennsylvania.
The points involved are exhibited in the
following instruction to the jury by Judge
Giles :
"If the jury shall find from the evidence in
this ease that the saw-logs found at the mill
of defendant, by the agent of the plaintiffs,
belonged at thug time to ;the plaintiffs, and that
they were part of the logs that came down the
Susquehanna river in the freshet of May,
1860, and that said logs had gone ashore at
Howell's Point, on land owned by Wm. Tur
ner, and bad been purchased there by the
agent of - defendant from certain persons
claiming to own the same, and that said logs
were carried by the vessel of defendant from
Howell's Point to his milt in Somerset coun
ty, for the purpose of being sawed Into plank,
and the defendant when called upon by the
agent of the plantiffs claimed to own the said
logs, then the plaintiffs are entitled to recover
the value of said logs in this suit ; role., the
jury shall find front the evidence that there
was an agreement in substance between the
agent of the plaintiffs and the defendant to
waive the delivery of the said logs to said
agent, and to leapt; the tnatter to be arranged
by mail between the plaintiffs and the said
defendant."
The jury rendered a verdict for plaintiffs ;
damages $271,83.
It appears that by the freshet of May, 1860,
there wee lost from the 006 m in the Susque
hanna river, logs of the value of about $lll,-
000, the property of different parties; and that
many other suits are pending in the courts
against different parties to recover the value
of said logs converted by them to their use.

ward tendendy. The latest advice, from the
East and from Europe, are anything but en
couraging for producers. Sale. hare been
made during the week at 40 cents per barrel
at the wells, although most producers are
asking 50 cents. A large' quantity has ar
rived from up the creek, since our last repo - a.,

BY TELEGRAPH.
THE FALL OF NEW ORLEANS
BEAU - REGARD OUTGENERALED
Rumored Capitulation of Yorktown.
THE TAX BILL
GREAT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
CC., Jr., &a.
[Special Dispatch to the Gazette.]
PUILADELPRIk, April 29.—The news of the
fall of New Orleans causes a universal senti
ment of joy.
With this good news we have the announce
ment of the evacuation of Corinth. Beaure
gard has been out-flanked, out-generated, and
overwhedmed. 411 hie strategy has been
thrown essay.
It is probable jhat the main attack on New
•Orleans was made by way of the Mississippi
river. The most formidable batteries encoun
tered were those of Fort Jackson and Fort
• Phillip, situated opposite each other, and com
manding the range of the stream. •
These forts had an armament of ona hun
dred and seventy guns, consisting chiefly of
sixty-eight pound rifted cannon.
The navigation of the river is stopped by a
dam, distant about a quarter of a mile from
the forts. From this point to New. Orleans
the banks of the river are lined with • succes
sion of earthworks. . The land force were un
der the command of Gen. Lovell, and the
naval forces under the braggart Hollins.
The rebels are canvassing the probability
of an early peace between the "two great re
publics." The traitors do not yet know the
feeling of the Northern people, and were led
to believe that we have been so biidly beaten
of late that we would gladly acknowledge the
independence of the South, and accept a hu
miliating offer - of peace from rebels in arms.
Tho Inquirer's Fortress Monroe correspond
ent says that it was rumored there from York
town that the rebels, appreciating the mas
terly strategic movements of McClellan, re
cently executed by his Generals, have offered
to capitulate upon certain coiditions.
It is generally believed there that the fate
of Yorktown is sealed, and that it will be ours
in a few days.
The Finance Committee of the Senate is
priding the tax bill through for the second
time. Among the amendnients agreed upon
are an increase of the tax upon cigars and
snuff; that upon other manufactured tobacco
remains the same. That upon ground coffee
is raised to ono cent per pound.
Upon a number of points of detail the
Committee, Senator Pearce being absent, is
equally divided, one party consisting of Sen
ators Fesslouden, Sherman, and Ale Donal!,
objecting to any material amendment of the
House bill; the other, consisting of Senators
Simmons, Cowan, and Howe, insisting upon
alterations involving radical changes.
The general question of policy, raised by
these differences, has been several times dis
cussed; the Fessenden , policy, in favor of per
footing, the House bill, thus far prevailing
over the Simmons policy, of materially modi
fying it, a majority being requisite to
. make
any change.
Whether Senator Pearce removers in season
to give one side a majority or not, the Sim
mons fiarty will strenuously endeavor to
amend the bill by Increasing excise duties,
and taxing capital and trade in preference to
labor and production..
Senator Simmons' theory is that the House
bill will produce three hundred millions, and
that not mum than two hundred millions are
wanted.
It is believed that there aro only two robe
regiments at Richmond. D.
Important from Washington.
WASEITNOTON, April 28.—The steamer Jacob

nations, including the following named to be

Viatch, P. Canoeist, and A. Hackleman. The
last four of Indiana; Venial Holmes. of Penn
sylvania, was confirmed as. Brigadier Surgeon
of volunteers.
The following appointments were made to
day by the Navy Department: Henry 0.
Porter, of Washington Acting Master, or
dered to Port Royal; fleorge.A. Smith, Act
ing Paymaster at the Brooklyn Navy-Yard,
Chaska: C. Bunker, of . Nantucket, John 8.
Gordon, of Seaport, Maine, and James F.
Alcorn, of Boston, Acting Paymaster, and or
dered to Charlestown Navy-Yard.
The hill reported by Mr. Colfax, from the
Poet Office Committee, provides that rail
roads carrying U. S. mails shall - enter into a
contract with the Poet Office Department, and
if they disagree as to the price, it shall be set
tled by the Court of Claims. -
Mr. Arnold, from the Committee on Roads
and Canals, has reported in favor of the bill
for the enlargement of the - Illinois and Michi
gan Venal. The report states that the work
has been more than half completed, the State
of Illinois having expended thereon over
6,000,000. The Canal has been in operation
since '4B, and now yields an annual revenue
of about $200,000. This will be greatly in
creased by the enlargement of the Illinois
river, as proposed.
The State of Illinois offers this . oanal and its
revenues to the lJnited States, on condition
that Congress will provide the means of en
larging it so as to
. pass gun boats from the
Lakes to the Mississippi. This will place ns
upon an equality with GreXt Britain, that
power being able, by her canals, to pass war
vessels from the ocean to the lakes. The re
port, in view of the fact that by treaty. the
United Stales is 'prohibited from building or
maintaining armed vessels op the lakes, krges
the necessity and importance of the immediate
enlargement of this canal, by which thp gun
boat 'fleet on the Mississippi could be passed
throUgh to the lakes. Had this medium of
connection been open at the beginning of the
rebellion, the 1,200 vessels and 15.000 sailors,
now shut up on the lakes, would have been at_
the disposal of the GoveruMent. Thesaving

and mule several successful voyagee in the

from one of the prifoners, the soldiers would
fight a battle at Fort Jackson, kut when that
fell, the rich people in Now Orleans would
clear out and leave the rest. The times are
hard there. There is no work, excepting for
carpenters, who get four dollars a day, work
