Johnston, Commander-in-Chief, killed; Col. Blythe, of Miss., killed; Lieut.-Col. Thompson, 1st Arkansas, do.; Major Colquitt do., do.; Colonel Bates, Tenn., wounded; Gen. Bowen, Gen. Hindman, Gen. Gladden, Gen. Cheatham, do. Hindman is said to have been injured by a fall of his horse, which was killed by a bursting shells. Granden lost his arm in a charge but nevertheless continued to rally his troops and Cheatham, a gallant fellow, was hit in the shoulder. Polk, Hardee, Bragg, Chalmess, Ruggles, and Breckinridge, all behaved gallantly, and were more or less scathed. The men say of the last-named officer, that every time a shell or bullet would come near him, instead of dodging, he sat immutably upright, and twisted his monscathe as coolly as if waiting for dinner. Our wounded continue to come in from the field slowly, but it is a long and agonizing ride that the poor fellows have to endure, over twenty-two or twenty-three miles of the roughest and ruttiest road in the Southe

threw the how of the Beauregard into the wheel of the Price; thus she was disabled by her friend, the Beauregard, and went to the bank. The fatality on the Beauregard must have been very great, thinks our informant, as the enemy's shot passed completely through her bulk head into her boilers, and the steam rushed the full length of the boat. There was no troops in Memphis as the time of the engagement. Our informant left on the last train about nine o'clock A. M., on which Gen. Ruggles took his departure for Grenada. When this train passed the bridge near the city it was burnt by his order. Capt. Gordon was sent out by Com. Montgomery with the first boat to pick up the wounded and those who were attempting to escape by swimming from the sinking boats, and our informant with the second boat when he was shelled and graped, tearing away the stern of his boat, which did not, however, render it unnavigable. Mr. Reeder has no doubt of the safety of the Commodore, a

Memphis and Fort Pillow. --A gentleman who left Memphis the day before the Federals took possession informs the editor of the Knoxville Register that the citizens held several meetings on the Sunday and other days before the evacuation of Fort Pillow, with a view to raise a force of 5,000 to support the forces at the fort. Gen. Ruggles was present and seconding their views by his personal exertions. It was his purpose to urge the garrison to hold the fort, if possible till he could advance his supporting force, but before he could communicate with the fort, he learned that, under orders from the commanding General, it had been evacuated. It, therefore, became necessary to evacuate Memphis immediately. Prior to the evacuation of Memphis, the Confederate Government had taken possession of and removed nearly all the sugar, molasses, and other grocery stores, to secure them from the enemy. The Confederate gunboat Arkansas built at Memphis had gone down to Vicksburg. It

and squads of them totter from the hospital where a breath of air may cool their fever-rack frames. For some time before Mr. L. left, the citizens of West Baton Rouge were not allowed to cross the river to Baton Rouge unless on "parole," a ceremony which is described as nearly equal to taking the oath of allegiance. The force at the capital might easily be captured by a sudden dash made by our troops from Camp Moore, which is only 70 miles from there. It is a camp of instruction, under Gen. Ruggles, and does not seem to be much feared by the Federals, who make frequent raids into the country. Not long since a party of Federals surprised a straggling Mississippi company at Amite bridge, 24 miles from camp, and captured eight of them. They were in turn surprised by a party of impromptu guerrillas, and the prisoners retaken. The Yankees lost three killed, and their bodies were all the spoils with which they returned to Baton Rouge. The negroes, so far, have proved very faithful

The Yankees were advancing on Holly Springs, and were expected to occupy that place to-day. Gen. Ruggles addressed a stringent remonstrance to Butler, relative to two partisan rangers, who, it is said, Buller had threatened to hang. Gen. Ruggles threatened retaliation-Butler replied that one had been paroled, and that the other would be.

A large sloop of war attacked in company with the Essex and gunboats. I regret to say that Lieut. Stevens was seriously burned by a grenade with which be fired the ship. As I knew would be proved, he and the officers behaved well. I send them back tonight, by one of the two dragoons whom General Ruggles sent with me. I am, with respect. I. N. Brown,Commander C. S. N.

Brigadier-General Wadsworth, and Colonel Key, aide-de-camp. For so much of my service as was under him I wish the testimony of Major General Pope and of Brigadier-General Roberts; General Welch, Commissary of Subsistence; Colonel Morgan, Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, Colonel Ruggles, Assistant Adjutant- General, and Colonel Schriver, &c., and, if the Court see fit to go back that far, that of Lieutenant-General Scott, by deposition; for I should dislike to trouble him with a disagreeable journey for so much of my service as was under him. Fourth--As to whether I have failed through any unworthy personal motive to go to the aid of or send reinforcements to any brother commanders, I wish inquiry made as to whether, whilst in command of the Department of the Rappah

ts in hostile possession. Louisiana West of the Mississippi, conquered and overrun six months ago, has been since wrested from the grasp of the foe, and with all the strong points in our possession, is defended by skillful Generals and the bravest of troops. Mississippi is only occupied on the borders of the great river, and to these borders the enemy can be restricted if Mississippi will put on her armor, send back her truant soldiers, and gag the months of her timid croakers. Johnston, Ruggles, and Chalmers, each with an army, and at least eight thousand cavalry, are on her soil to defend it, and, with the help of the people, can defend it, and drive the Yankees to their gunboats. Alabama is freer from the enemy than she was a year ago, and has only to unite her reserved force to that of Georgia and join Gen. Bragg for delivering both States from the presence of the enemy. Except an occasional raid on the Atlantic coast from gunboats, the powerful State of Georgia holds
