MISSISSIPPI.
The “Herald” of the 8th says Gen. Pope
had crossed over the river from New Madrid,
to the Tennessee side, with a large force—
thus cutting off Island No. 10 above. It has
the following dispatches:
New Madrid, April 7—Hon. E. M. Stanton,
Secretary of War: Gen. Pope haB just landed
Gen. Paines division on the Tennessee shore.
The whole movement has been a grand suc
cess. Tho whole army will be moved over
to-day and to-nigbt. Gen. Pope has four stea
mers to ferry over with, which arrived by the
new route through the swamps laBt evening.
Another dispatch to Chicago, the same day,
says: “It is believed here that forty hours
will decide the fate of Island No. 10.”
A dispatch from Cincinnati to the Secretary
of War on the same day says: “Com. Foote
got another boat safely past the batteries last
night. Gen. Pope is now crossing opposite
New Madrid in force. Thor© is heavy firing
in the advance.
St. Louis, April 8—Gov. Andrew Johnson
has suspended the Mayor, and the Aldermen
and Councilmen of Nashville—who refused to
take tho oath of allegiance—by filling their
evident that siege trains and mortars would
have to be employed before assaulting the
place and that, although its capture was cer

York Town were already taken by our troops,
and the greatest enthusiasm prevails among
them. Supplies were being rapidly received
from Shipping Point, which was taken pos
session of by our army on Sunday. A new
rebel battery was discovered at the Rip R*P e >
and was shelled out by our men. A dispatch
from Gen. Wool, states that the rebel Gen
eral Magruder has 30,000 men at Yorktown.
We are in possession of some very inter
esting facts concerning the “Merrim&c.
The Navy Department has received the infor
mation that when she ran for Norfolk on the
0th of March, after her conflict with the
Monitor, she had seven feet of water in her
hold. The shot from the Cumberland rid-»
died her, and one shot from the Monitor went
through a port hole and dismounted two guns.
Our correspondent at Fortress Monroe states
further that she received one shot clean
through both sides of her roof, and was very
considerably damaged below the water line,
so that the pumps had te be kept constantly
going to save her from sinking. The report
that her iron prow broke off, in her attack
on the Cumberland, and went down with that
ship is confirmed; two of her guns were
destroyed, and thirteen men killed and seven
wounded. She has not made her second ap
pearance yet, although it is undoubtedly tru/
that she has received a supply of coal, and
some additional guns within a few days pash
The “ Herald ” of the 8th, says :
“ The London Times, in an editorial, says
that the time cannot be far distant when the
South must either surrender their cotton and to
bacco or burn them. If they give up their
crops to the invaderB, we may consider they
intend to succumb. If they give them to the
flames, all the worst that cau happen to them
will have happened, and that task of conquest
which never can be performed will have com-

“Chicago, April 8.—Information was receiv
ed here to-night that on the 6th the rebel for
ces under Gen. Beauregard attacked our for
ces under Gen. Grant. The battle lasted all
day. Our lines were driven in by the attack,
but as our reserves were brought into action,
the lost ground was regained, and the rebels
the great event of our military history. We
appear to have given the enemy a signal re
pulse, but the advantage has been dearly pur
chased by the death of so large a number of
the best and bravest spirits in the army.
The feeling of rejoicing over the victory
will be painfully mingled with the sadness of
extensive a national bereavement. The
most energetic efforts should be made in all
the large cities and towns in the country, to
afford aid and relief to the wounded, and to
alleviate the distress caused by this great bat
tle.
“The Battle of Pittsburg—Further Accounts.
—We are happy to say that later accounts
modify essentially the extent of our loss at
Pittsburg. It is now stated to be four or five
thousand killed and wounded—an immense
loss, but only one-quarter of the 18,000 previ
ously reported. It appears that the rebels at
tacked Gen. Grant on Sunday, gaining an im
portant advantage, taking Gem Prentiss and
a portion of his command prisoners, storming
several of his batteries, and playing the deuce
generally. On Monday, however, we were
reinforced by Gen. Buell, and then the rebels
were driven back, losing far more than they
bai gained the day previous. They were
pursued by our cavalry to Corinth, and even
beyond it.”

except a simple guard of one or two men at
each bridge, who could not resist any attack
in force
That daring attempt to burn the bridges by
the engine thieves was entirely practicable,

SURRENDBR Of ISLAND MO. 10.
The “ Herald ” of tho 9;h says : The offi
cial dispatches of Commodore Foote announce
the surrender of Island 10, on the Mississippi,
with its men, munitions and transports to
that officer, consisting of 6,000 prisoners of
war, 100 siege guns, several batteries, immense
quantities of small arms, tents, wagons, hor
ses and provisions, and the Federals did not
lose a man.
The Herald of the 9ih also contains two
official dispatches from Com. Foote to Hon.
Gid. Welles, Lincoln’s Secretary of the Navy,
spouse to a serenado to-night, said Gen. Beau- on e dated April 7, 3.25 A. M,, and the oiher
regard with an immense army advanced from
Corinth and attacked the combined forces of
Grant and Buell. The battle began at day
break yesterday morning, and continued till
late in the afternoon, with terrible loss on
both sides. We have gained a complete vic
tory, and driven the enemy back within his
iorlifications.
•Gen. Halleck announced his departure for

“Rebel Account of the Battle.—Fortress Mon
roe, April 7.—A Norfolk paper of this morn
ing contains a dispatch from Mobile, dated
the 6th instant, announcing the reception of
news that morning of a great battle ; that the
Confederates had taken eight federal batte
ries and a large number of prisoners, and
that it was expected the whole federal army
later in the Bame day, both announcing the
surrender of the Island ; and further, that
the United States forces who crossed over
from New Madrid were pushing on to attack
tho Confederate batteries on the shore in the
rear of the Island, and that the batteries had
been hastily evacuated while tho Island sur
rendered.
A dispatch from Gen. Halleck, dated St.
Louis, the 8th, and addressed to the War De
partment, says that Island No. 10 had been
abandoned^ on the night of the 7th by the ene
my. This is a little different from a surren

But there is another side to this picture.
The victory of Gens. Grant and Buell on Sun
day, which drove Beauregard back in confu
sion towards Corinth, has changed all the
scene, and dashed the hopes of the rebels for
a successful defence of the Mississippi. From
intelligent sources'we learn that a large part
of this great rebel army at Corinth is com
posed of mere striplings, raw recruits and
badly armed; that there are whole rogiments
of pikes and shot guns.
It is impossible that this hurriedly collected
and badly equipped rebel army, dispirited
by a succession of crushing rebel defeats, can
stand against anything like an equal force of
their disciplined, well armed, enthusiastic and
victorious adversaries. Assuming, too, that

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
New Haven, April 8, 1882.—The election in
this State is overwhelmingly Union and Re
publican—so much so ta to make the details
unimportant to-night More than two-thirds
of tho Legislature is supposed to be Union
Republican. Not one Democratic Senator is
known to be elected. The whole Union Re
publican State ticket is supposed to be elect
ed by over five thousand majority.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF IRON-CLAD GUKUoATS.
The Merald of the 8th inst. says:
“The bill authorizing the President to trans
fer the appropriation for coast defence to the
construction of iron-clad gunboats, is intend
ed to meet the exigencies of the Navy and the
new conditions imposed upon the country by
the revelations of the Monitor in her late bat
tle with the Merrimac.”
Again :
“the pot calling the kettle black.
“The London Times continues to persevere
in a course of wanton and malicious attacks
upon this country. It has at length reached
the climax of malignity and absurdity in an
insidious attempt to sneer at the United 8tates
financial affairs. It has adopted for this pur
pose a vulgar word invented on this side of
the Atlantic, and has the #ffrontery to call
our currency by the name of shinplasters
• *#.**
“ The words to which we refer are as fol
lows : ‘ But with an expenditure of two mil
lion dollars a day, and with nothing but
“shinplasters” for money, the plan of attach
ing wavering slave-owners by compensation
must follow the fate of so many other attempts
at compromise.’ ”
The same gentleman has also furnished us
with the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 10th in
stant, from which we extract the following:
“The Great Battle of Pittsburg, Tenn.—The
intelligence yesterday of a great battle being
fought at Pittsburg, Tenn , between the main
armies of Buell and Grant, and Beauregard,
trenchinents they have been constructing and
strengthening for a whole year, will vindicate
the sagacity of the plan of the campaign
marked out by the military genius of Gen
McClellan and virtually complete the work
of crushing out the rebellion. Driven from
Tennessee and Virginia, with their forces
scattered, demoralized and dispirited by a
series of disastrous defeats, it is believed
the rebel leaders will never be able to make
a stand any where ; but will endeavor to find
safety in precipitate flight beyond the boun
daries of the Union as it was, and will soon
be again, if they should not be seized and
summarily dealt with by the people whom
they have duped and victimized.”
The news of the great Union victory at
Pittsburg, or Shiloh, and of the surrender of
Island No. 10, was read in the House of Rep
resentatives. That body was considering the
tax bill, and the announcement was so en
couraging and electrifying, that under its an
imating influence, the bill, which had so te
diously for weeks dragged its slow length
along, was immediately passed by an over
whelming majority. The correspondent say s:
“When the yeas and nays were taken upon
the bill, only a baker’s dozen voted nay. The turns out to be true—too true, alas! for the
tax upon slaves was defeated by the extreme
anti-slavery and pro-slavery elements. The
former feared to commit themselves to a recog
nition of slaves as propeity, and the latter
deemed the proposed tax too heavy to be
borne by the border slave States.”
The Herald of the 8th, says, editorially :
