Campaign.
P/TTSE MG, April 6 —Midnight.
Position of the Perces.
The battle eround chosen for the strug
gle of to day occupied a semi -circle of tibout
three and a half miles from the town of
Pittsburg, our forces being stationed in
the form ofa - semi-eirele, the right resting
on a point North ()f Crump's lainding, our
centre being directly in' front of the main I
road to Corinth, and our left extending to I
the river, in the direction of Hamburg—al
small place fotir miles North of Pittsburg
Landing.
The First Attack.
At two o'clock this morning, Col. Pea
body, of Prentiss' division, fearing that
everything was not right, dispatched a body
of four hundred men beyond the camp, for
thel purpose. of looking after any - force
which might be lurking in that direction.
The step was wisely taken, for a half a
miles advanee showed a heavy force ap
proaching, who fired upon them with great
slaughter. Those who escaped fell back
to the. Twenty-fifth Missouri regiment,
switilv pursued by the enemy. The con
test had been of by
short duration, and
the advance of the secessionists reached
the brigade of Col. Peabody just as the
long roll was sounded and the men were'
thlling into line. Their resistanee, ta :
Co unawares, was of but short duration, ken

and they retreated ill as good order as was
possible, under a galling tire. omit they'

land. The troops had never before been
in action, and being so unexpectedly at
tacked, ere they could fully understand
their position, or get into file, they made
as able a resistance as was possible, but
were, in common - with the forces of Gen.
Prentiss, forced to seek support on the'
troops immediately in their rear. The
Fifth Ohio Cavalry, formerly belonging to'
this division, had been removed to Gen.
Hurlbut's command the day before, yes
terday, and their places supplied and camp
oeeapiea by the Second Illinois Cavalry.—
These latter knew nothing, of the approach
of the enemy until they were in their midst,
firing into their tents and applying the
torch as they came.
The slaughter,. on the first onslaught of
the enemy, was very severe, scores lhiling
at every discharge of the cnemy•s guns,
and all making their best effort to escape,
or repel the tlie. It. lion - ever, soon be

overpowering and nothing was left for the 1
advance line but retreat: This was done
in considerable disorder, both officers and
men losing every particle of their baggage,

The Prospect at that Hour.

As your correspondent reached the third

and who, so far, had not found it much to
their liking. Their faces were turned to
the river, and neither persuasion nor
threats could induce them to change their
course. I must say, that at this juncture.

battle field. A strong guard was posted
across the thoroughfares, with orders .to
halt every soldier whose faceivas turned I I
riverward. Some few of the wounded were
allowed to proceed, but the self-constituted
guard who had chosen, that:sui a means of
escape, were made to keep.within the lines
under penalty of a stronger admonition at
the hands of the established line of sen•
tries.

At tea o'clock the entire line on both
sides was engaged in one of the most ter
rible battles ever known in this country.—
The roar of the cannon and musketry was
without intermission from the main centre
to a point extending half way down the
left wing. . The great , struggle was more

Every load was greeted withc heers from
those on shore, and returned lustily by
those who had so opportunely arrived, to
take part in the battle of to-day. As the
boat reached the shore the troops immedi
ately left, and, without music, took their
way to the adiance on the left wing of our
tbrces. They received marching orders at
a late hour in the afternoon, and had
come on a "double quick" from Savennah.
They gave, however, but little evidence of
exhaustion, and evinced iv:stolid deternii
nation that they had not come for a child's
recreation. Among the troops near the
landing they were regarded as something
like veterans in the caiasa q and thkgreates t
confidence began to grow up as to the suc
cessful ternaiiiation of the battle, whose
result had been doubtful more than once
during the struggle'of yesterda,y.
With the first hours or daylight it was
evident, however; that the enemy had also
been strongly , icinforced, for, notwith
standing they. must have known of the
arrival of the aewlinien troops, they were
the first to open!the.hattle t which they did
about seven o'eleek; and with considerable
alacrity. The attack then began'froni the
main Corinth road, a point to which . they
seemed' strongly attached, and which at no
time did . they leave at all unprotected.
It mattered not where the main force was
engaged, nor
,where the fight' aged the
i l fiercest, there' was at all tamesr evidence
that the safe security of that thoroughfare
was continua* cared for.

In my , recit e s letters I have inentiened
that the diarrhea had prevailed most ex

had weakened some of the regilltelits, SO
fur as numbers were concerned -t he hospi

the sick previous to the attack.
Though the health of the men was int
provieg. yet there were nian:v who haul not

were on the sick list at the time the enemy
so suddenly made their appearance within

dead.
i
The tide of battle rolled on, and they
were left to such treatment as the rebels
might choose to bestow upon them. In
some eases the hospital teats were burned, j
1 1 with the sick still within them. These, I ,
believe, were isolated eases, for in others
all the kindness which could he Whir:l e d
ii the excitement of such an hour w as
afforded them. In some cases I found t hat
they had even filled the canteens of the
sick with water, and left them by their'
couches for future use. In others, d,, ,
had been roughly treated. cursed as Yan
kees, but yet nut outraged as they had bee n
on former occasions, where the lOrtuties of
war had made our melt subject to their
mercy.
One singular feature was reittarkabli‘ alter

They preseuted a strange and ghastly ap

and there, from sheer exhaustion, had laid
them down to die.
The Force Engaged, and the 11 i
'Killed and Viroinded. i
As - near as I can astimate, the entire
force. enga g ed in this conflict, I.have set it
down at the ()peeing of the battle as being
, *cm; sixty thousand on the rebel side, with
:Ik ikiPaiwill4Ani4ler number, say PvgrA.l.o j

twelve thousand men, while, from the testis

the reinforcements to the enemywereabout j
eight thousand men—more than half of
'whom had been left at Corinth when the
Generals Grant, Buell, Nelson. Sher

of the river, closely followed by our men,
I Gen. Grant feared that some mistake
might occur on the part of the gun-boat s ,
whereby our men might be injured by their
j fire. Accordingly a me; see
ordering the ger was sent
Tyler 11111 Lexington to
"steam up to Hamburg, four miles above,
and on no occasion to fir,- inland before
reaching that point, its our men had
driven the enemy so fat- that the shells
1 , might injure the e wrong party."
At Noonday.
It was now a matter settled beyond dis
pute, that the enemy wereretreating. They
were making but little fire, and heading
their entire column for Corinth, by both
roads leading in that direction. Front all
divisions of our lines they were closely pur
-1 sued, a galling fire being kept upon their
'rear, which they still returned at intervals,
but with little or no effect.
The Charge of the Cavalry. •
I have neglected heretofore to mention
that from Sunday noon, until night, and
from Monday morning up to the time I
have now reached, in this outline description
of the battle, not less • thin three thousand
cavalrkhadtimainedseatedintheirsaddles '

time when an order should come for them to
pursue the flying enemy. That time had
now arrived, and a courierfrom Gen. Grant i
had scarcely delivered his message before I
the entire body wai'in,motion.
Those who have never witnessed a charge
of so large a force of horsemen should have
been there to have seen the wild tumult of
the eager riders; andapparently equallyex
cited steeds. The enemy have been driven
beyond our former lines and are in full re
treat in the direction of Corinth.
In regard to this result, I think,. we may
believe that the rebel leaders were not as
confident of success this morning as when
the eontest ofyesterday began, for I am in
formed to-night, by one of the captured.
that "Beatiregurd hadnight ordd
that two hundred empty cars be !sent ere to
Corinthduring the earart of to-day."
hether this Is true ornot, or whether it
was preparatory to the safety of his troops
in case of defeat, I leave your readers to
decide for themselves. One thing is eel
! tain, his promise to his troops that - they
j should drink the waters of tho Tennessee
to-night has proven a failure. . They must
for the present slake their thirst from some
j of the Creeks that .flow into that river from 1
a southerly direction.
The Field After the Fight. _ !
A. visit to the field immediately after the
retreat-of the rebels and the pursuit of our
'forces, exhibited a spectacle seldom to be
witnessed and More horrible to contemplate.
The first appronehes,occupying the further
g
range of theenemy'sene, showed at the
first glance the work of devastation made by
those ball andabelt which had overshot the
mark. Large trees were entirely cut off

it is Colonel W. 11. 11. Wallace, of Illinois,
who had been left in command of the
force of General Smith: whom 1 have re
ferred to previously as being confined by
sickness at Savannah. His presence
would have been a great benefit on thi
ocemdon.
Currying oft our Surgeons.
I found. even at the endof the first day's
fighting, that many of our surgeons Were
missing. They were known to have been
at the hospital tents at the period in which
the battle opened, but after this time they
were not to be found. After the retreat of
the enemy had began, and those of the sick
who had been left in the hospitals were 1 1
again under the protection of our troops,
they stated that the rebels had forced the
surgeons away with them in order that
they might attend to their wounded. I
have no doubt they greatly needed their
services.
Rattle Ground.—lts Location.
The gourd upon which this most bloody
Itattle was fought is known as Pittsburg
Landing., and is situated in Hardin coun
ty, two hundred and thirty miles front the
mouth of the Tennessee river, and is teti
miles from the Alabama border. It occu
pies au emninence of some fifty feet above
the river, and has but two houses, both of
which were riddled by the shells of the
gunboats when the national troops arrived,
several weeks since. It was the main out
let. previous to the building of the Mem
phis and Charleston Railway, forthotrans
portation by steamers of all the products
raised in the vicinity of Corinth, and the
most interior portions of the. State.
The ground beyond the eminence,
stretched away along a broad ridge, which
%Vat; pierced at intervals by deep ravines,
running mostly in a south westerly direc
tion. and covered with scrub oak, growing
so closely together that it was impossible
tbr either Military or cavalry to press
through them and at the same timepre
serve anykind oforder. In thisscruloak,or
"black jack," he enemy kept themselves as
much hidden fr o m sight as possible. From
the river bank to the fitrthest end of the
National camps there were but three open
fields. of from fifteen to twenty-five acres
each. anti it was when the enemy endeav
ored to cross these, into the heavier forest
on the sofa of the ridge, that our troops
were enabled to dtethent the most damage.
The rebel loss in killed must have been
nearly double the estimate I have made as
to our own. The wounded is also very
great in munbers: although perhaps not so
great in proportion, As Minnie ballsitre
more Mud than those usually 'fired from
-Mississippi rifles, the old Harper's Ferry, or
even the Algiers rifle, of which they seem
ed to have a large number.
