WASHINGTON, April 6th, 1804
Mr: I. B. NEW OMEN,--
My Dear Sir :—Accept my grate
ful thanks for your tribute to the memory
of my. gallant son. '
Ile assured he well deserved all that can
be said of him ;—lookiirg over thewhele - rec ,
i rd-othis-life-I-see-uothing to. mut_ot--blenr—
ish its perfect lustre, Ile never disobeyed
my slightest wish,—never was guilty of the'
ir le" .
least approach to a mean act. lie was gen
tle as a girl, generous with° - guile and
without fear; a man among en—thorough
ly educated, tall and of grae ful address.—
His extreme youth,* high rank won by, ser
vice on many a battle field, splendid courage
and 14li noble nature won him the true lave
1 80. modest that most of his deeds I learn:
ed from others, he blended u deep sense ofa
future life with the present. When suffering
keen agony from the loss of a limb in battle,
and reminded of possible results he replied i
that lie never went into battle "with out ask
ing forgiveness of his sins and mercy of God."
For 'such, death had no terror.— , With sub
lime purpose he faced the peril of his last
undertaking ; —to free the weary captive
comrade from the Dungeons of , Richmond.
Penile to
,his noble heart,—he fell where
a soldier should fall, at the• head of his men
and the traitors that never faced Lim with
impunity while alive, feel safe in desecrating
his precious remains.
With many thanks for your kindness. •

Lion. To rock a child in a cradle, or to swing

this differ from the motion a child receiv •5
when rocked in a cradle ? It is equivalent
to lying in a ship berth during a violent "stttim
and this sickens nine people out of ten. A
very gentle, slow motion may 'sometimes be
soothing, though always of doubtful expedi

swing of a pendulum three' feet long, that is
once. in a second,. is prmitive cruelty, We
always feel like grasping and staying the arm '
of the mother or nurse who to secure quiet
ude, swings the cradle or crib with a rapid
ity equal to that of a pendulum a foot long.
If any mother is disposed to laugh at our
suggestions Or consider them whimsical; we
be,‘' of her to get her bed hung on cords, then
lie down in it herself, and then swing it with
the same rapidity that she allows the cradle
to be srothxd. What she will experience in

Forrest sent a flag of truee demanding the
surrender of the fort and garrison % in the
meanwhile disposing his fore - es so as to gain
an advantage. May Wroth, Odle 13th Ten
nessee (U. B,) Heavy Artillery, formerly the
First Alabama Cavalry (eolored) refused to
receive the flag of truceiand fighting was re
sumed. Afterwards' a second flan. b came in,
whidh Was also refused. Both flags gave
the Rebels the advantage of gaining newpo.
The battle was kept up till 3 o'clock P. M.,
when Maj: Booth was killed and Maj. Brad.
ford (who was taken prisoner, and it is fear
ed was also killed) took command. The
Rebels had come in swarms over to our troops
eompellino• them to surrender. Immediate
ly upon the surrender the Rebels counnene
ed a s iudiscriminate butchery of the whites
4411,4. -
who had been previously wounded. The
dead and wounded tregroes were piled in
heaps and burned, and several citizens who
joined our forces for protection were killed
or wounded.
The blaek soldiers, becoming demoralized,
rushed to the rear, their white officers hav
ing thrown down their arms. Both blaek
and %Ana were bayonetted, shot or sabred,
and even dead . bodies were horribly mutila
ted. Children of seven, or eight years of
su o e " and several wonien i ., Sol

were shot dead, and their bodies rolled down
the banks into the river. Out of a garrison
of 600 men, only 200 remained alive.
The steamer Platte Valley came up about
o'eloek. She was hailed b • the rebels un-_
der a flag of truce, and her men sent ashore
to bury the dead and take aboard such of the
wounded as the rebels had allowed to live.
Fifty-seven were taken aboard, inoluding
seven or eight colored men. Eight of them
died on the way up. The steamer arrived
here this evening ! and Was sent to - Mound
City Hospital to discharge her suffering pas
sengers. Among the woundeai of the color
ed troops are Capt. Porter ; Lieut. Tibberbi
and Adjutant lemaiing.
Six guns were captured by the Rebels ;
and carried off, including two 10-pound I'ar
rotts and two I'2-pound howitzers. A large
aniumi - rof - st - ores were de - stroyeur` -- tfr came

to be to evacuate the lace and more towards

Fort Pillow is an, isolated post, of - no val

utterly untenable by the rebels, who have,
no doubt, let•t that•vieiuity ere this, having
been disappointed ; with msiderable loss, in
the object of their raid thither, which was
the capture of Columbus, whence they were
promptly and severely repulsed, with uo loss
to us. -
We are satisfied that due investigation will
show that the loss of Fort Pillow was . sim
ply the result of a •,mistake of a local com

After a skirmish across this open field for
