Our LOSS '7,000.
Rebel Loss Greater.
Albert Sidney Johnston Xilled.

[The statements in regard to the great
battle fought at Pittsburg landing. Tenn.,
are so numerous and contradictory .that
it is almost impossible to get anything
like an intelligible and reliable statement.
All, however, appear to agree, upon these
points: the Rebels, with a much superior
force,' attacked our army of 38,000 under
Grant, at Pittsburg Landing, where it
;_was encamped,watting for reinforcements
with which to attack Corinth. The Re
beta, knowing the designs and compara
lively small number of our army, brpris
it early Sunday Morning. Our forces
soon railed, overcame the serprise and
fought alllday with the greatest bravery,
repulsing'-and being repulsed,end at night
the battle ceased with the Rebels oceu
pying the camps of the Federal army—
thus far the Rebels being victorious. The
Rebels were said to number nearly 80,000,
—double our army. During the night
and early the next morning, • I Gen., Buell
arrived with ro-enforcsments, Opened the
battle with fresh troops, and,a.t 3, P. M.,
the rebels retreated - to Corinth, where the
next battle of the West will be fought.]
auto, Thursday, April 10.
'Our loss at the Sanguinary 'battle near
Pittsburg, is officially reported at 7,000
killed and wounded. • The lOss of the
enemy is much greater. They were uk
terly routed, after the most determined
sod desperate resistance, on the second
day. Albert Sidney Johns t on's body
was found on the field after the T lebels had ,
run and deft everything calculated to im
pede their flight.
An arrival final Pittsburg Landing
says that the Rebels, in making the first
attack- on Sunday morning, carried the
Stars and Stripes, and wore the Union
uniform.
Gen. 'Bragg is reported to have been,
killed. Provisional Governor Johnson of
Kentucky is wounded and a prisonei.
Our total loss is about 7,000. This is
the estimate of the military commanders
who were in the engagement. Of this
,number about 2;000 were taken prison.
ers, the balance are killed and wounded
in the usual proportions.
Gen. Wallace of Illinois Was reported
dead, as it was thought impossible that
he could liver He was, however, living
on WlTduesday, and improving. , He was
shot in the back. of the ear, the bullet
coining out of his nose.
CHICAGO, April 10,1862.
A special to 1:14 Tribune from Cairo
says: We. are juSt; beginning to get some,
reliable•details from the great . ; battle at
Pittsburg. From several gentlemen who
were on the field. after the?, the .
fol
lowing is gathered : 1
Geu. Predtiss's Brigade, consisting of
the 61st Illinois, 17th Wisconsin, 24th
liidiaua, and 71st Ohio, were attacked
whilo eating their . breaVast,l by what
seemed to be the entire Rebel force.—
Gen. Prentiss had- no artillery, and his
brigade was cut to pieces, and forced to
retire.
At 12 o'clock the entire line VPIS en
gaged, but in full retreat. At 14. o'clock,
the enemy bad taken Schwart's battery
of six guns, Dresden's battery of' four
guns, and Waterhouse's balk.ry; also
two Ohio batteries, Dailies not known.
Thousands of our soldiers who bad ta
ken refuge under the bank of the river,
utterly refused_to tight, and in fact.thet
could not, as officers and'inen were mixed
in inextricable confusion.
The army at this time seemed to be ut
terly defeated. At this juncture, the
gunboats Lexington and Tyler{ opened a
trethenduous fire of shot and shell upon
the enemy, and kept it up every half hour
during the night. Sorne'of the shells set
the woods on fire, and many dead Rebels
were burned.
At 7 in the evening the fire had gen
erally, ceased. About midnight the Reb
els attempted to plant a battery within
300 yards of our siege guns; but were
driven away by the gunboats and siege
suns, supported by three regiments of
Gen. Mitebelre division, which had ar
rived and crossed the river aboitt 6 in the
evening.
, Our informants persist in stimating
our loss on Sunday at 3,000 killed 5,000
wounded as being a low figurei During
the night the Rebels, were re-enforced by
Gene. Van Dorn and Price, frOin Arkan-
BUS, with a very large force.
Gen. Lew Wallace came up with the
11th and 23d Indiana. 44th Illinois, and
Bth Wisconsin, and Williard's battery,
and, in the morning, fiercelY, attacked
the enemy's left wing. They went into
the fight at double quick, with tremens
dons shouts and did terrible execution.
By 10 o'clock they had driven the Reb
els back two miles. At about 10 o'clock
the Rebels were re-enforced, and for a
few minutes our men were 'forced to
yield. I

Gen. Buell followed the flying for; with,
12,000 troops, mostly cavalry, emiting
without mercy those who would not sur
render. The Rebel troops were. r;iostly
from Texas, Mississippi, ,and Louisiana,
with many froin Georgia and Alabatna.
Our informants say that they 'could
ride through the battle-field wheraeur for
ces were posted, but the dead' Vie - re — so
thick in the enemy's lines that they could
not do it there. They assure us that the
Rebels occupied our camps Sunday night,
and took care of our sick and wounded,
destroying nothing, expecting, confldent
ly, to have our entire army the next day.
They thought the battle !already fOught
and won.
On Monday. MeClerna i rd cut his way
through the enemy, that bad surrounded
him. Most of his troops behaved with
great gallantry.
Our informants state that Joho C.
Breckinridge is taken prisoner. They

headquarters.
The forces engaged on both sides in
this day's battle are estithated at 'about

The net. proceeds, of the reception of
Parson Brownlow, at Pike's Opera House,
Cincinnati, last meek, amounted to one
thousand one 'Modred and twenty-five
dollars. This amount, says the Commer

free will ofieribg from the citizens of Cin
cinnati to the wan who had fought; the
enemies and traitors to the "country.'uu
flinchingly, in their midst, at the sacrifice
of tits property and the hazard of his life.
Parson Brownlow accepted the generous
and unexpected gift with a visible eXhi
bition of emotion, which became strongly
marked when he spoke of his wife arid a
family of six helpless children he had , 'l4,
behind him, and in the midst of the de=
'mons.

Federals announce their plans of invasion,
and the singular fidelity with which they

THE JOURNAL.
Coudersport. Pa.
Wednesday, Apr. 16,1862
M. W. WALARNEV, EDITOR..
MONOMANIACS.
There is a class of persons so delicately
constituted and so nervously inclined,
that the slightest mention of Emancipa
tion is producitive of a serious attack of
conservative fever, from which naught
ever rescues'l them but the assurance that
some, time' of other the slavery-loving
Democrats, at the head of which stands
that beauty of a would-be President,John
C. Breckinridge, will regain their former
powet., when the "bigoted," "fanatical,"
"abol'ition," "Freedom-lovers' " results
will be overturned by one of their noble
stro4s of patriotism. They have inveigh
ed against the agitation of this question,
and yet, in their frenzy, they have been
its most violent agitators. They have
used the 'arguments of speech,.both in
and out of Congress, and when they fail
ed, clubs and canes have-been resorted to.
A favorite argument with them has been
that "even the Border States, if you give
them the opportunity, will vote against
emancipation though they receive almost
the full valueof their slaves." Well, let
us see how this doctrine will 'bear illus
tration. They have had an election in
Western Virginia within a few weeks
past, on this emancipation question, and
withayt the promise of indemnification,
and What is 'the result but an almost
unanimous vote in favor of emancipation !
An unqualified vindication of the honor
of — tbOse Union-men at the South who
have had Slavery forced upon them. Sla
very is thus admitted to be unprofitable;
and this, aside.from any of the moral
obligations devolving upon us. should be
sufficient to induce us to adopt Sterne fea
sibie plan which will in the end relieve
our country from the stain, and make us
.not only in name, but in deed, a nation
of Freemen.
These monomanics have always had a
most unearthly dread of " the nigger."
Fie has been a fruitful source for croco
dile tears. The Message of the Presi
dent, consequently, was very hard to
swallow. They tried to grease it with a
compromise policy, but it wouldn't g 6.
Some ;appear to have fairly swallowed, but
caunoi_ ? q&litly digest it. It has produced
' •
a general dough-face cramp. Thers is,
therefere,a bowl among the Breckinridgers
for reconstruction, compromise, peace
The Slav9cracy well know that in case
the Rebels are crushed before-a settleuieut
is effected, their pet institution falls to
the ground: They are willing to sacrifice
everything for the old hunker party. The
cries against the times; against Congress
and prominent members of Congress are
all intended to accomplish the same re•
sults—the overthrow of Freedom and the
establishment of these pseudo patriotsl in
their former positions. —Now, gentle
men, please do not rave so frantically but
come near and take hold of this "black
gentlenian"you feign to abhor. The course
your brothers have taken in the South,
makes the settlement of this "gentleman's"
position, inevitable, immediate and final.
You will find by pursuing this course that
he is not so very offensive. •
DeMocrats of the old, true line ! Dem
ocrats of the later doughface party ! you
must ! take a stand for or against Freedom.
Yomqchoice can not change the res Ult.
Slavery, in the ordinary course of events,
will be crushed. Your position will be
eitho the mark of hoaor for your child
ren, or the brand of dishonor. Just as
truly as the effect succeeds the cause, this
war is the begioninc , of the end of Slavery.
UNION IN FLORIDA, "C. A."
There have bceu Union meetings held
in Florida, proposing the holding of a
Convention of Delegates - to vote them
selves back into the Union ! The elec
tion for delegates• was to be held on the
7th last. As this originates with the
people, it is a proof of the unwillingness
of the masses' to break their connection
with the United States, and is a cheering
sign of the coming revolution of feeliog
and opinion in the South. Our Govern•
ment should devise means to protect all
citizens who are disposed to be the initia
tors of this 'reverse movement. The lea
dere of the rebellion have so misrepresent
ed their power and designs to the people
that as soon as the truth is known we
may, look for many more such organize-
aril is stated that the lion... Eme
rson Etheridge will return in a few weeks,
as Senator from Tennessee. This will
create a vacancy in the clerkship of the
Houee.
