Maurina, Turn,, April 16. * ’ I lib I svverel Norihurw regiments returned from (.'on treadle to Washington on the morning of the battle of Manass.i*. Their time had expired, and they marched away from the batik • trill to the music of our oannon. Tho 14tb Jdialaippi Regiment, whose term of aetvivo hud expired uoiuo days before the late great battle on the Tenaoeueu, pursued a very different course. Anxiou* to strike a blow for their native land* they doturuinod to rent ain un til after tbs battle They did remain, and moat gloriously did they uphold the l!#g of their gal lant Stale. Having done their duly, as well as to their country, they will now return home on a short visit, and than re enter tho eorviee for the war. Their noble cxuuijfc should not be lost upon other six and twelre months troops. One company in Blythe's Mississippi regiment lost 42 io killed und wounded. The lons of the eotirs regiment, including tho Colonel, was 221. The Tannossconns and Kentuokians fought with great spirit, and prored (hum solves to be the wor thy brothers in arms of the hcrole regiments fruuf the Gulf Hints*. The eondition of affiirs up the Mississippi riv et Is by no means satisfactory. Tha reduction of Island 10, though anticipated, is a very e rluushlow, and will be followed soen, I fear, by the fall of Fort Pillow. There would beno diffi culty in holding tho river against gunboat* alone but tho case is very different when there 1* a large oo operating land force. I need not safer to tbs deplorable consequences that would follow the fall of Fort Pillow; they will readily occur to the wind of every intelligent reader. Five of the enemy’s gunboat* and three morlsr boats proceeded io Fort Pillow Sun day morning, the 13th, ond opened fire upon [ the garrison. Thd bombardment continued without results np to ten o’clock, ut which hour the courier left. Firing was heard here na late at two p. tn , by persona who were out on the rlvur, und again on yesterday, Monday.
