Wallace, who had taken a circuitous route from Crump's lauding, appeared suddenly on the enemy's right wing. In the face of this combination of circumstances, the rebels felt that their enterprise for the day was a failure, and as night was approaching, fell back until they reached an advantageous position, somewhat in the rear, vet occupying the main road to Corinth. The guu-boats continued to send their shell after them until they were out of range, and after aweary watching with intense anxiety, the advance regiments of Gen. Iluell's army appeared on the opposite side of the river and the work of crossing began. The 3tith Ind.

Large numbers of our men were panic stricken, others worn out by hard fighting, with the average per centage of skulkers, who had straggled towards the river, could not be rallied. Gen. (iraut and staff, who had been recklessly riding along the lines during the ly, amid the unceasing storm of bullets, grape and shell, now rode from right to left, inciting the men to stand firm until our reinforcements could cross the river.

Col. Webster, chief of staff, immediately got into position the heaviest pieces of artillery, pointing on the enemy's right, while a large number of batteries were planted along the entire line, from the river ank to our extreme two miles and a half distant. Abort an hour before dark a general cannonade was opened upon the enemy from along our whole line, with a perpetual crack of musketry. Such a roar was never heard on this continent. For a short time the rebels replied with vigor and effect, but their return shots grew less frequent and destructive, while ours grew more rapid aud terrible.

The gun-boats Lexingtnn and Tyler, which lay a short distance off, kebt raining shell on the rebel hordes. This last effort was too much for the enemy, and, ere dusk, the firing had nearly ceased, when, night coming on, all the combatants rested from their awful work of blood ami carnage. Our men rested on their arms, in the position they had occupied at the close of the fight, until the forces under Maj. (ien. Wallace cairie up and took possession on the right, and met Gen.

We have no doubt ho made the walls of "old bedlam resound with glee and hilarity during his sojourn there. A salute of thirty-four 'guns was fired at the Fort yesterday, in honor of our gallant forces, whose bravery and unflinching intrepidity, won for them a name and fame as imperishable in the annals of history as the great and decisive battle which they so manfully fought and so nobly won.

This was on Friday 2Stb, the en gapement commenced about noon. Col. Slough with seven companies engaged the enemy's front, while Major Chivington, with four companies, two of cavalry, aud two of infantry deployed and attacked the rebels in the rear, driviin: the guard from the rebels' supply train, capturing and burning them. The train consisted of fifty-one wagons. The Major also captured and spiked one of Hie enemy's cannon, then retired and joined the main force.

In the mean time Col. Slough's command contended desperately against superior numbers ant! disadvantage of ground, Hie enemy being walled in at the north of a deep canon. At four o'clock the fighting ceased by mutual consent. Col. Slough withdrew to a creek four miles in the rear.

The battle was opened by the rebels at seven o'clock from the Corinth road, and in half an hour extended along the whole line.

At nine o'clock the sound of artillery and musketry fully equaled that of the previous day. The enemy was met by reinforcements, aud the still unwearied soldiers of yesterday, with an energy that certainly could -ot have been looked for. It became evident that the enemy were crowding the extreme of our left wing, and endeavoring with perseverance and determination to find some weak point by which to turn our forces. They left one point to return to it immediately and then as suddenly, by some masterly strokes of generalship, direct the most vigorous attack upon some division when they fancieJlhey would expected. But the fire of our lines was as steady as clock work, and it soon became evident that the enemy considered the task they had undertaken a hopeless one.

One of the greatest battles of modern dav? has been fought at Pittsburgh resulting in the total route of the enemy, who attacked us at daybreak on The battle lasted without intermission during the entire day, and was again renewed on Monday and continued until four, P. 31., when the enemy commenced a retreat and are still flying towards Corinth, pursued by a large force of our cavalry. The slatighter'oit both sides is immense. We have lost in killed, wounded and missing, report says, eighteen to twenty-thousand men. That of the enemy is estimated at thirty-life to forty thousand men.

It is impossible in. the present confused state of alfairs to ascertain any details. The rebels at times exhibited great genralship, even our heaviest and most destructive fire didn't seem to disourage their solid columns. The Fire of Taylor's Chicago baUery raked them down by scores. At 5 o'clock, Monday, the rebels had succeeded in forcing our left "wing, so as to occupy two thirds of the field, and were and the dreadful destruction producsd by our artillery which was sweeping them away like chaff before the wind.

But knowing that a defeat would be a death blow to their hopes and that their all depended upon this great struggle, their Generals still urged them on in the face of destruction hoping by flanking us on the right to turn the tide of battle. Their success was again for a time cheering ns they began to gain ground. But our left under General Wilson was driving them forward with wonderful rapidity, and by 11 ''clock General Iluell's force had succeeded in flanking them and capturing their batteries of artillerj-. They however, again, rallied on the left, and reerossed to the right and forced themseves iorwrad in another desperate effort, but reinforcements from General Wood and General Thomas were coning in, regiment after regiment, which were sent to Gen. Buell, who had again commenced to drive the enemy.

About 3 V. Gen. Grant rode to the left where the fresh regiments had been ordersd, and finding the rebels wavering, sent a portion of his body gard to the head of each of live regiments, and then ordered a charge across the field, himself leading, as he brandished his sword and waved them on to the crowning victory, while cannon balls were falling around him like hail. The men followed with a shout sounded above the roar and din of artillery and the rebels fled in dismay as from a destroying avalanche and never made another stand. Gen.

Buell followed the retreating rebels driving them in splendid style and by half past five o'clock the whole rebel army was in full retreat to Corinth with our cavalry in hot pursuit, but witli -vtiat BiiLtcsa is not knunu, tlcj-not having returned up to this hour- We have taken a large amount of? their artillery, also a number of prisoners. We lost a number of our forces prisoners yesterday among whom is General Prentiss. The number of our troops taken has not been ascertained but it is reported at several hundred. Gen. Prentiss is also reported wounded.

Among the killed on the rebel side was their General-in-chief, Albert Sidney Johnson who was struck by a cannon ball on Sunday. Of this there is no doubt as the report is corroborated by-several rebel officers taken today. It is further reported that Beauregard had an arm shot off this afternoon. Generals Bragg, Breckinridge aud Jackson were comuinnding portions of the rebel forces. There never has been a par They went in excellent order, battling at every advantageous point, aud delivering their fire with considerable effect, but from all the divisions of our lines they were closely pursued, a galling firs being kept upon tlieir rear.

The enemy had now been driven beyond our former Hues, raid were in full retreat for Corinth, pursued by our cavalry. The forces engaged on both sides in this battle arc estimated at 70,000 each. Cairo, April 9. An officer who left Pittsburgh Landing on Monday evening reports that our forces occupy Corinth, that Gen. Johnston's body had been found on the field.

He also confirms the report that Beauregard had his arm shot off. There has been "no arrivals from the Tenn. since early this morning. A boat is expected to-night. Chicago, April 9.
