le the rebels fell back. Faster and faster they ran; less and less resistance was made to the advance. At least the front camps on the left were reached, and by half-past 2 at point was cleared. The rebels had been steadily swept back over the ground they had won. with heavy loss, as they fell into confusion. We had retaken all our own guns lost here the day before, and one or two from the rebels were left as trophies to tell in after days how bravely that great victory over treason in Tennessee was won. Advance of Crittenden's division. I have sketched the advance of Nelson — Next to him came Crittenden. He, too, swept forward over his ground to the front some distance before finding the toe. Between 8 and 9 o'clock, however, while keeping Smith's brigade on his left up even with Nelson's flank, and joining Boyle's brigade to McCook on the right, in the grand advance, they came upon the enemy with a battery in position, and, well supported, Smith dashed his brigade forw

It crossed the fallow fields, under ordinary fire, then gained the ravine, and was rushing across the cornfields, when the same Louisiana steel rifled guns opened on them. Dashing forward they reached a little ground swell, behind which they dropped like dead men, while skirmishers were sent forward to alliance the troublesome battery. The skirmishers crawled forward till they

We take from the Memphis Appeal a list of the Federal officers that have arrived in that city, as far as known, though the Appeal states that it is imperfect. I will be seen that Gen. Prentise has actually carried out his threat to dine in Memphis, and we presume that his desire to visit the far South will also be gratified by our very polite and indulgent officers. The list of Colonels is headed by Madison Miller, of St. Louis, for many years a prominent Black Republican politician in Missouri, and one of the confidential friends of Frank Blair. If there is one thing more than another which demonstrates the completeness of our victory, it is the large number of officers captured — We doubt not that the list will be greatly swelled by farther accounts. Federal officers at Memphis. The following list of officers of the Federal army, captured at the battle of Shiloh on Sunday last, has been furnished us by the officer in charge, as handed him by General Prentiss. The latt

The camps were regained; the rebels were repulsed; their attack had failed; we stood where we began; rebel cavalry were within half a mile of us; the retreating columns were within striking distance. But we had regained our camps. And so ended the battle of Prattsburg. The killed and wounded. I do not pretend to give more than an estimate, but I have made the estimate with some care, going to the Adjutants of diff rent regiments that had been heavy fighting as any, getting statements of their losses — sure to be very near, if not quite, a curate — and approximating thus from the loss of a dozen regiments to the probable loss of all. I have ridden over the ground, too — have seen the dead and wound dying over the field — have noted the numbe

blique the 6th pushes on. The rebel colors fall. Another volley; they fall again. Another volley; yet once more the faded colors drop. There is fatality in it; so the rebels seem to think at least, as they wheel and disappear. And then Rossean's brigade is drawn off, in splendid style, as if coming in from parade, conscious of some grand master of reviews watching their movements. So there was — the rebel General. As he saw the brigade filling back, he pushed his men forward again. Kirk's brigade advanced to meet them, coming out of the woods into an open field to do so. They were by a tremendous fire, which threw a battalion of regular in front of them (under Major Cliver I think.) into some confusion.
