The North has at last come to the conclusion
irituona hqoorc-I that the most important events in the history
of modern times are now at hand—events which
will determine whether the conflict in the Uni
ted States will be terminated, or whether it will
be an exhausting struggle of years Specula
tion is rife in the North of “the great impend
ing battles.” The New York Herald is almost
as sure ol success in the great struggle as it
was of the battle of Manassas, and tells the
people of the North that “in three months the
rebellion will be crushed out, and every South
ern State restored to the Union." We quote
from the Herald's Editorial :
There arc three decisive points where a bat
tle may be expected at any moment. The first
is on the line of the Rapahannock and the Rap-
idan, in Virginia, on which Joe Johnston com
mands the rebels in defence ol Richmond
and Norfolk. The second is on the Tennes
see liver, near the line between the Stato ol
the same name and the State of Alabama, and
not far from Mississippi. The conflict will
probably take place between Corinth, at the
northeast corner of the latter State, and Deca-
tur, in Alabama. There the Confederates are
a stand, with the Memphis and Charlcs-
jroad as the base line of operations—a
inmunication for reinforcements and
absolutely necessary to them. The
1 blow is at New Orleans.

These are combined movements, the result
of a well laid strategetical plan, which can

of tlie^^^-nrncnt, that in three months th• r<-

THE BATTLE OF SHTLOAH.
P. NY. A., of the Sav innah Republican,
give; the following telegraphic accounts from
the battle field:
CoiiiNTH, April 7.—At the date of toy last
despatch, yesterday evening, the enemy were
in tub retreat.—We drove them hack lo the
river, where their river works, gunboats, and
darkness stopped the pursuit. The battle was
hot and furious, and lasted twelve hours. The
Confederates occupied the enemy’s encamp
ment last night.
This morning the enemy rallied and resumed
the fighting, having received reinforcements to
the number of 7.0U0 from Crump’s Landing.
They fought bravely, but the Confederates re
pulsed them twice. About 10 o’clock further
large reinforcements were brought up by Gen.
Buell. The lighting now became desperate
along our whole line. The battle is stdl rag
ing, with varied fortune, and even more furi
ously than yesterday.
We took 2,000 prisoners yesterday, who are
now at Corinth. To-day we captured several
batteries and lost some. It is impossible in
in the roar and confusion of battle to give par
ticulars.
General Beauregard is in comman 1 of the
Conlcderate army, a.-s sted by Generals Polk,
Bragg, Hardee, Breckinridge and others. Gen
erals Cheatham, Bowen, at d Clarke slightly
wounded. The loss is very heavy on both
sides.
It rained hard last night and considerably
to-day.
SatLOAii, April 7.—i), p. in.—The battle has
raged all day and night alone put a suspension
to the strife. The light was more obstinate
and furious than that of yesterday, and the
loss on both sides is very heavy.
The enemy were heavily reinforced through
out the day. Seeing this, G> ncral Beauregard
withdrew his troops back of the Federal en
campment. The enemy followed up, when the
battle was renewed and continued until night,
each side maintaining ts position. The Con
federates fought lor two whole days without
any assistance whatever, whilst tho enemy was
constantly reinforced with fresh troops.
L Are! It.
Sinloau, April 8—Both sides are too badly
worsted to renew tiie tight this morning. The
enemy fell back last night, and to-day we are
returning to our former lines. The Confede
rates are confident and in fine spirits.
LATK-T AND IP TO DATE.
CoBiKTij, April 10.—Immediately after the
battle Gen. Beauregard sent a Hag of truce to
Gen. Grant concerning the burial of their dead. |
Gen. Grant replied ye-terday that, because of;
the warm weather, lie had made heavy details
for the purpose of burying the dead of both
parties, and that the work was already accom
plished. He therefore refused to receive Con
federate parties within the Feueral lines for
that purpose. His note was respectfully ad
dressed as follows:
“General Beauregard, commanding tliojCon-
federate Army, Mississippi.”
At Monterey, our courier found the Federate
busy putting their camps in order and looking
after the dead and wounded.
The Confederate killed are much loss than
was at first supposed, and the wounded are
comparatively .- lightly hurt, as they were well
protected by the timber.
The prisoners are still coming in, and num- |
her nearly four thousand, including about 200 i
offii-eis.
The Federals dai!\ send out strong reconnoi-i
toring parties, whim are constantly surprised
by the Contederates and many of them either
killed or captured.
The Confederates are holding firmly their
old lines, and the men are in good condition
and ready for another light.
Our wounded li.ive all a rived; many of them
have been sent to M mphis and Oxford.
TRAITORS IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Raleigh (N. C.) Journal says :
Traitors 1 Burnside is cariying o;
ymg on his in
sidious operations in Newbern, Beaufort, and
VS ashington. Tho rumors which reach us from
Newbern, concerning the conduct of some per
sons who remained there, are painful in the
extreme, and convinces us more than ever of
the dire necessity of burning to ashes every
town and every house and shed in every town
which is hereafter abandoned to tho enemy.
W e have the names of several who are said to
be already in the employment of the enemy.
Beaufort will be a reproach while the South
ern Confederacy survives. It received Burn
side’s negro-stealing grave robbers with open
arms.—Burnside vi.-ited it, but did not find it
necessary, we believe, to make any prisoners,
with very few exceptions, the citizens were all
loyal enough lor him.
VVashington.notwithstanding the disclaimers
of the Stai dard, furnished some traitors. His
honor Isaiah Respass became a companion and
guide of Mr. Burnside, accompanied him to
Morehead City, exploring the country and doing
the agreeable thing. Hearing of Mr. Respass’
extreme coutesy t) the Yankees, Gen. Ran
som sent him a card to visit headquarters, near
Kinston, furnishing him an escort of forty galj
lant troops, and afterwards sent him on to
Richmond for further examination.
Under the head of traitors, we have a most
revolting deed to record. A number ol Cap
tain Poole’s artillery company, stationed at
Fort Macon, deserted their post while on picket
duty, and went over to the enemy at Beaufort
immediately on his arrival there. Their deser
tion is an ascertained fact. Their number is
variously stated at nineteen, twenty and twen
ty-seven. We are told that they received the
enemy, who visited Rogue Island in boats, on
the beach, conducted the officers over toe Is
land in making a reconnoisance, and then went
oil' with them.
A Bkave and Dariho Act.—Private James
Oden, of Captain Meade’s company, Oth Vir
ginia cavalry, on a recent occasion, alone, cap
tured five men of the 12th and 10th Massachu
setts regiments, who surrendered to him their
loaded Enfield rifles, and wore marched off as
prisoners by this gallant son of Loudoun coun
ty. The fact was officially announced to the
brigade on the 1st inst., by G -n. J. E. I». Stu
art, who says in his order: “This daring en
terprise shows how little numbers avail against
genuine courage and bold determination ; and
the heroic example of Oden is commended to
the emulation of his comiades, and receives the
warmest praise.”—Richmond Dispatch.

not be surprised aim unpreparco for the calum

But in one way—follow the desperate yet wise
counsel ot Messrs. Cobbs and Crawfora—burn
Savannah! Leave no town in your rear as a
shelter for the pirates! Leave Savannah for
them to occupy, and Georgia will he subjuga
ted ; every large town hi tho State will be oc-
cu^leil. Well! w ell ! my dear sir, I know
Georgians are very brave, none more so, hut
pardon me; 1 am tired to death hearing the
eternal gassy explosions of “the Yankees can’t
take this place”—“the Yankees can’t take that
battery”—“tho Yankees can’t get into the inte
rior!” while the pirates keep on taking all they
care to take, and go pretty much where they
please. When you say, my brave friend, that
the Yankees can never reach Macon, while 1
admire your pluck, let me remind you that Bu
ell, with twenty five thousand men, lately
marched from Nashville to Corinth, through
ery heart of secession in Tennessee, losing

Mississippi 18,00l», Tennessee 80,000 and Ala

No. lo. and at anti around Corinth.

of 40,000 dwindled into 12,00) or 15,000, when
the defences ut that point w ere abandoned.
It is not prudent, of course, to underrate the
force of the enemy at any given point or all
points together. We have no inclination lodo
so. lint it is not well to have the country kept
in a state of unnecessary suspense by exagge
rating the peril of unequal numbers supposed

cost of labor to the manufacturers. These con

Evacuation of Jacksonville, Florida, by
the Federals.
Several gentlemen arrived in this city yester
day, who lolt Lake City on Wednesday last.—
They state that the Federal troops evacuated
Jacksonville on Tuesday night at 10 o’clock,
taking all their guns, ammunition and provi
sions with them. They had commenced to
throw up entrenchments on tho north side of
the town, hut an express arrived, and shortly
afterwards all their tents were struck and their
troops embarked on board three of lhe-ir gun
boats and sailed down the river. Previous to
leaving the Federal troops reported that thc-y
had l»een ordered to reinlorce their army at
Tybee, to which point they had been ordered.
It is estimated that the Federals had in Jacks
sonvdle from l,50d to 2,UOij men.
The Confederates, our informant says, hail a t
camp of troops some ten miles from Jackson
ville, commanded by Col. Davis, and that an
express train hail arrived at that point on
Wednesday, bringing the information that the
Federals had evacuated Jacksonville. As soon
as this was known, the Jacksonville Light In
fantry and a Florida cavalry corps occupied
the town.
Tho Federals, upon their departure from
Jacksonville, took with them one hundred and
twenty-live loyal Union men from the town,
an 1 also a number of negroes. Among the
whites who left with the enemy were Joseph
Remington, P/iilip Fraser, G. S. Emery, J. \V.
Price, C. L. Rnt>ertx,m and O. f,. Keen. The
latter was the keeper of the Judson Iloiree
and had been loyal to the South until that
building was destroyed by the Southerners,
when ho went over to the Federals.
Col. Titus, well Known as having been con
nected with the Lopez expedition at the cq>-
turo of Cardenas, and latterly connected with
the unfortunate Gen. Walker, in his South Am
erican expedition, our informant says, had gone
over to the Federals, and had made an dibit to
miit a company in Jacksonville tm the Lin-
colnites. Col. Titus is a native of New Y’ork,
hut has long re i fed in the South, and some
years ago married a lady of Florida, connected
with one of the best and most influential fami
lies of that Slate.
While the Federals occupied Jacksonville
their officers gave theuisi-lves up to the gross
est licentiousness and dissipation. Our infor
mant says there was no meanness to which
they did not resort, and no smoke house or hen
roost within their rea If that they did no* rob.
They indulged in every species of vice, and vis-
ited the negro hovels, where they nightly laid
their disgusting orgie*.
For ten days previous to the departure of the
Federal*, a number of the owners of escaped
slaves went iqto the town under a flag of truce
and claimed them. In every instance they'
were given up and restored to their roasters.
A Mr. Branning wont in and demanded his ne
groes. lie was told that ho must take the oath
of allegiance to the Union, but he sternly refus
ed to do so, when, after a parly, his negroes
were delivered up, and assistance tendered him
to lake them.
Two Yankees were captured, a few days
since, a short dis*"nee from Jacksonville. They
pretended to bo i ertorg, but their story was
not believed, and tti' y were scat to Tallahassee.
They report that the male slaves were set to
work on the liirtdie ion north of the town,
and that the4emales had all been placed in jail.
A vvffiow lady named Haddock, residing some
few miles from Jack- inville, had all of her pro
perty destroyed and all her negroes stolen. Tho
Federals asc-rlained that she hail two sons in
the Confederate army, and went to her house
hoping lo capture them. Thoy failed in the ob
ject, and while in her residence destroyed ull
her furniture. Borne drunken Federal soldiers
with theirknives killed ahorse that was attach
ed to a buggy w hich was standing before her
door. We are informed that many other simi
lar outrages were committed by the Federal
troops.—Savannah Neus.
