ir rifles crept forward in squads, and did murderous work upon the enemy by cutting down their best men. It is by one of these that Buell is said to have been severally wounded if not killed as either he or some other distinguished officer was seen to fall from his horse to the ground. The subject is one worthy of consideration, and it is to be hoped that some measures will be taken to perfect this important arm of the service. In a foregoing letter, I alluded to the sentiment in Southern Illinois as being wholly averse to the policy adopted by the Lincoln Administration. We have in one of the hospitals here a gallant young fellow from that section, who raised a company there, brought them to Corinth, engaged in the battle, and fell desperately wounded. The Surgeon told him that amputation must be performed or he would die. "Doctor," said the brave fellow, save that leg if you can, if for no other purpose than one--to enable me to fight the abolitionists again." The physician

Opinion is divided, however, upon the probability of a second effort being made by the Federal. The favorite impression is, that they were emphatically disgusted with their reception, and will turn their backs upon the inhospitable place. A large portion of the transports and gunboats have, it is said, already gone down the Tennessee river; but whether it is to convey troops away, or bring reinforcements hither, nobody knows. The Yankees are slowly shelling Fort Pillow, but thus far their work has been harmless. They fire from mortars at intervals of ten or fifteen minutes.

And I make the assertion without hazard of contradiction, that nowhere can be found a more splendid looking, hardy, courageous, high-strung body of soldiers, than are to be seen in this Army of the Mississippi. The troops from Louisiana are small, wiry, muscular, quick as squirrels in their motions, and thoroughly Gallied in their habits and associations. The men of Alabama and Mississippi are taller, as a general thing less cosmopolized, yet full of Southern fire. Between all of these I have named, however, and the soldiers of the West--from Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky--the distinction is broad, well marked, and observable at a glance.
