RY." Patrick Henry in the first Revolution.
Oqr Coss at Island No. lO.
We have been giving copious extracts from
Yankee Journals upon the capture, surrender
evacution, or stampede of our forces on and
near Island No. 10-{for they designate it by
all these terms.) We did not believe the first
reports about 5,090 or 6,000 of onr troops
being captured or surrendering, and do not
now believe it. ^
The latest is the following from the Herald
of the 15th, and dated at Island No. 10 on
the 8tb :
The surrender is unconditional, though
it covers merely the public property left by
the rebels in their flight; for it appears that
the whole army encamped on the mainland
have fled in utter route and confusion, leav
ing all their guns, tents, stores and ammuni
tion, for us to dispose of as we see fit..
Tne small garrison on the Island itself,
about three htndred strong, have surrender
ed as prisoners of war. The force that had
been encamped on the main land is variously
estimated at from six to ten thousand. These
have all scattered in confusion, each mao
looking out for himself. Their flight com
menced at one P. M., at which time orders
were issued from the general headquarters to
be ready to evacuate at a moment’s ■warn

The Capture of Island No. lO.
IMTKRISTING DETAILS OIt TUK SURRENDER—
WHAT THE FEDEKAL8 FOUND ON THE ISLAND.
The Island 10. correspondence of the Cin
cinnati Times, gives lengthy and inter
esting details; from which we con-
denes and extract the following. The writer
appears to have been on board the Benton,
one of the Yankee boats below New Madrid,
whieh had been engaged in transferring Gen.
Pope’s command from the Missouri to the
Xeaaeaaee shore.
He says that pn Monday afternoon (7th
inst.,) while wailing the next turn of events,
anxious to hear from Gen. Pope’s operations,
they discovered a strange vessel coming down
the river. Instant preparations were made
for a fight; but the strange vessel gave four
sharp whistles, which were responded to by
the Benton, and fears of an engagement sub
sided. Lieut. Bishop, of the federals, got on
a steam tug, and went to the mysterious little
steamer above to ascertain what she was and
what was wanted. He soon returned with
two rebel Lieutenants under a flag of truce,
who wished to confer with Commodore Foote.
They were Lieuts. Geo. 9. Martin and E. 8.
McDowell—were at once escorted to the Cab
in of the Benton, and told Foote they were
empowered to propose the surrnder of the
Island on certain conditions. Foote replied
that none but an unconditional surrender was
possible. The Lieutenants sail they were
unable to give a reply to that demand without
first consulting their principal, Capt. W. Y.
C. Humes, commander of the Island. They
then departed to the “ De Soto,” on which
vessel they had come down the river, and
returned again a little after midnight, stat
ing that the terms had been accepted and the
Island unconditionally surrendered.
In regard to the shore batteries, they could
say nothing, as they had no command over
that part of the fortifications, and were igno
rant cf the officer who was in charge of the
forces there.
The writer believed the greater part of the
rebel forces with the chief officers, had al
ready made their escape, because the propo
sition came through, and the negotiations for
the surrender were concluded by, a couple
of Lieutenants, and adds, “ a surmise that
subsequent circumstances proved entirely
correct.”
At daylight next morning, a number of
white flags were flying from the Island, but
no one could be discovered along the Sen-,
tucky and Tennessee shore. The gunboats
went to the shore batteries about 7 A. M.,
and took possession. They found the first
fortification a regular heptagon earthwork
fort, mounting three 24-pounders, and three
18-inch shell guns, all on pivots and strongly
entrenched. Breastworks ran for the dis
tance of half a mile up the river. Several

and
few demagogues and unprincipled parties for
the purpose of self-aggrandiMinent. Thoy
appeared to be extremely well satisfied with
their new position, and were the most cheer
ful prisoners I remember to have seen.
The surrender of the Island must be main
ly ascribed to the successful running of the
blockade by the Fittsburg and Osrocdelet,
and the passage of our barges ard transports
through the canal to a point beltw- No. 10.—
The execution of the latter work was a great
success, and reflects £he highest credit upon
Col. J. W. Bissell and his corps of skillful en
gineers.
The rebels bad heard of the attempt to ef
fect a passage by means of a canal, bat de
clared it impossible, and were no less sur
prised than alarmed when they learned the
arduous task had bsen accomplished.
When they beheld Gen. Pope crossing the
river, they knew that their cause was lost; he
could march upon their rear, and attack and
defeat them. Tneu they sought to retreat
from the main land, and left the handful of
men on the Island to surrender. They were
defeated in their effort to escape, and were
compelled almost in au entire body to yield
to the gallant General, who had from the be
ginning worked with a steady purpose, and
received his reward in the form of one of the
most brilliant successes that has thus far
marked the progress of our purely patriotic
and holy war.
For the Southern Confederacy.
Important Suggestions.
Atlanta, April 21, 1862.
To the Editors of the Confederacy :
You have been somewhat active in point
ing out the weakness of our towns, and
have shown how the Federals could burn our
bridges, destroy our Foundries at Rome, and
perform other rascally acts ; but he who dis
covers the evils should endeavor to provide
a remedy. Although I doubt the propriety
of thus publishing our weakness, especially
while we have sufficient evidence that spies
have been, and may still be among us, I do
not doubt that we should be active in our
preparations for defense. I propose two
methods of action, which, if immediately
adopted, I contend will produce good results.
One is, that the Mayor of this city, and
those of all other Southern cities, should be
required to appoint extra policemen, who
shall be selected from the reliable citizens of
the towns, wbose.duty it shall be to arrest
all suspicious persons, and bring them up for
examination. This city might have one hun
dred men thus authorized, who, in their daily
business avocations, would be on the constant
watch for these suspicious gentry. W'henev
er they found an individual whom they fear
ed was not “all right on the goese,” they
would interrogate him, and either become
satisfied, or briug him before the Mayor If
we are in earnest in our resolve to be free,
those extra policemen would act without pay,
When will that Big Battle ou the Pen
insula Occur t
It is plain that McClellan is waiting the
arrival of the Stevens Battery, whieh will
give the Virginia all she can do. The Moni
tor will then be carried to York River, run
past the Yorktown batteries, enfilade them,
and drive our men off. The transports will
then follow in the Monitor's wake, land troops
in Magruder’s rear and on his right flank, and
cause him to fall back. This can be repeated
Meantime tho dirt flies in the mountains. Ten
thousand spades, and half as many picks
have been sent down; eight thousand more
spades axe called for, and to-day, every wo
man in Richmond is at wotk upon a little
matter of 180,000 sand bags. Richmond may,
therefore, be regarded as in a state of siege.
There are reasons for believing that the great
battle will be fought, not on the Peninsala,
but within ten or twenty miles of the city.
It ij said that our Generals want to draw the
enemy as far as possible from his big fort and
his gunboats. But McClellan is under »cloud,
and the pressure of public opinion at the
North may compel him to fight sooner than
we expect. He promised to be hero by the
-0:h or 25th of of this month. Another good
sign is seen in the active movements of Hi-
grader, like that at Lee’s Mill. A few heavy
blows wilt help to demoralise the grand ar
my; and it is to be hoped they will be kept
up, maugre the sand bags.
Our boys continue to press down towards
the scene of action. Two regiments went by
this morning with palmetto in their caps.—

tr -—Mr. Wiicox,of Texas, in tbe course of a

he had received letters from parties in ths
State of Texas, saying that if the government
wmld hear the expense of transportation and

with beef during the war, and charge nothing
for it. The State of Texas, he said, could feed
the whole world. (Laughter.] They had

Mr. Foote. Thank God for that.
AM - So* our new terms
large siege guns were lying on the shore out
side of the entrenohmentB, but bad not been
plaeed in position. Two of the guns had
been dismounted in the fort by our shots, and
four of them were spiked. This battery is
the one our soldiers and sailors spiked on the
night of the 2d inst., and after that was ren
dered useless to the enemy. ‘
The seoond battery was a long and formid-
ble earthwork mounting four guns - three
32-poond rifled pieces, and one smooth-bore
of the same calibre. Another earthwork
without guns had been erected to protect the
ammunition, &nd some ten or twelve 18 and
24-pounders were lying on the ground.
A number of tents and huts were in the
rear of this fortification, entirely deserted
by every living soul, except one sick rebel
who said he had been forced into the service
while at his farm in Tennessee, engaged in
pacific pursuits. He said they had all left
the evening previous, and several companies
had beoome drunk, quarrelled and fought—
severely wounding one another. Several
were shot—not dangerously—while endeav
oring to burn their own hospital boat—the
Admiral—lying near the shore with 83 sick
rebels on board. This - diabolical purpose
was prevented by the vigorous and determ
ined resistance of the Admiral’s crew.
The rebels had taken with them all their
horses and arms, but had left behind a large
quantity of clothing, bedding, blankets,
books, letters and paper.
The third, fourth and fifth batteries were
strong earthworks like the other two, and had
4, S and 8, 24 and 32-pounders, with some
twelve or fifteen lying on the shore not mount
ed. Nearly every one of the guns are spik
ed, but no doubt they can be easily drilled
out. The fourth battery guns were turned in
land to prevent an attack ic the rear, and
were very well mounted.
At all the fortifications large quantities of
powder, shot and shell of every description'
were found, and this loss of ammunition must
be severely felt by the rebels.
On the Island there were six batteries, only
four of which were mounted, and they had
respectively six, four, five and two cantoD,
24 end J2 pounders, three of them rifled.
On the Island there were some £00 prison
ers, mostly Tennesseans, under the command
of Capt. Humes, who had surrendered to Com
modore Foote. They were all artillerists, and
their officers were young men. I had several ;
hours conversation with the captives, and
from them learned the sentiments they held
in regard to the war. They were all bitterly
opposed to their principal commanders, and
•aid they had had different leaders every day ed e J etem for onr own defence.

The privates universally expressed them- j or Ms. Botvs.—The sentence of the court mar-
The next step towards our safety which I
propose, is that all the men in tbe towns
and counties, over thirty five years of
age, who are capable of carrying a musket,
should enrol themselves as a borne guard, se
lect their officers, and drill on Saturday af
ternoon of each week.
Now it seems to me, if these plans can be
earned out, (and I see no reason why they
cannot, if we are in earnest,) that we shall
be in such a condition that ouly a large force
of the enemy could either take or hold one of
our towns. If we were thus prepared, no
three thousand men could hold Atlanta, as
they are now holding Huntsville; and know
ing that we were thus prepared throughout
the South, they would not attempt it.
Y'ou say, Messrs. Editors, that you are up
on the watch tower; now make the call for
the meetings. Pul the ball in motion, and
one after another will give it a push, until
we shall have a larger artsy for home defense
than we have of regulars in the field. Then
we shall be safe at hf>me, unless in the direct
track of a large moving macs jf jhe enemy ;
and then we will cut off all of their supplje?
in the rear.
I know that some who do not wish to be
aotive in our sause w;Jl throw obstacles in
the way of any such a measure, and s®y that
no arms can be found, and that many other
objectio ns exist. But mark you, these are
only weak devices of men who have not our
cause at heart as they should. Arms will be
found. Shot guns and rifles, will turn up in
great numbers; men will be found to put
them in order, and at least each man know
ing his own gun, will be able to use it, even
a little out of fix. Every man will hunt yp
something to fight with, if he feels an inter
est in our success, or in the protection of hia
family and friends.
Both these measures may be generally ad
opted; but it must be done through the in
fluence of the publio journals. Men must
write and talk about it, and call publio meet
ings for organization throughout the country.
We should feel mean to have Atlanta *n-
i tered by three or four hundred Federal cav-
' airy, and held even for a day or two, while
with any kind of an organization of her cit-
, izens, it not only could not be done, but would
i not be attempted.
I am not in the habit of writing newspaper

Chisago, April 12.—The spec ai says
the responsibility of the surprise rests with
the commanding officer. On Friday a large
foree of cavalry approached within sight of
our lines, and remained there; but Gen. Sher
man, who had oeeupied the advance, had
been ordered not to bring on an engagement
Consequently h£ sent out no corresponding
force to meet them. They remained in posi
tion until Saturday morning, and served as s
screen behind which Beauregard formed his
troops in line of battle, undiscovered. When
the attaek was first made, the 58d, 67th, Hat,
and 77th Ohio Regiments displayed inexcusa
ble inefficiency. The latter bed without fir
ing a gun; the others fired one or two rounds,
and then fled. The eowardico^of these regi
ments left the point undefended. The enemy
immediately closed ;o $,nd surrounded the
mors advanced regiments. It is also stated
that the 18th Wisconsin and 16th Iowa fled
after firing two or throe rounds.
Gen. Prentiss escaped on Tuesdey and came
into eamp alone. In the eonfusioa of the re
treat, he managed to elude the rebels' vigi
lance.
from 1,400 to 1.6C0 of the rebele' wounded
were left on the field, and thinks their killed
amount to 3,080, besides the wounded. We
did not take more than 509 prisoners.
