feeds the cataract bears irresistibly forward everything on its bosom. The Yankee negroes and their white coadjutors came forward, exultant with pride and hope, mainly produced by strong potations of whiskey, crying "No quarter! Remember Fort Pillow!" "But Linden saw another sight, When the drum beat at dead of night, Commanding fires of death to light The darkness of her scenery." The rifle pits, and the ground in front of the battle field bore testimony to the efficiency of our fire, and the many ghastly forms of negroes and whites, in death laid low, showed how the cry of "Remember Fort Pillow!" was responded to by our Spartan braves. The rent made in the earth by the explosion is one of the most ghastly, unsightly objects I have ever witnessed. The ground is torn as if by an earthquake, and great boulders of earth are scattered here and there, with ever and anon the mangled form of some lifeless Confederate protruded beyond.

rks temporarily lost and taking about five hundred prisoners, including one hundred and fifty negroes, thirty five officers and Brigadier-General Bartlett, of the 1st division, 9th corps, besides two stands of colors and four pieces of artillery lost by us this morning. Over six hundred of the enemy's dead are in our trenches. Mahone's and Wright's brigades, besides prisoners captured this morning, took ten stands of colors. One lines are now identical as before the fight this morning, all the ground lost having been reclaimed. Not over one hundred lives are believed to have been lost by the blowing up of the mine.--The losses in Mahone's division are not over two hundred, killed and wounded. Among the killed are Colonel Evans, 64th Georgia; Captain Ruth, commanding 22nd Georgia; Lieutenant-Colonel Williamson, 6th Virginia, slightly wounded. The negroes fought quite well to-day, and charged, crying, "No quarter — remember Fort Pillow." All quiet to-night.

ning--the explosion took place. It killed and wounded about a score of men. It blew up a battery of four guns. It occasioned the temporary occupation of a portion of our works by the Yankees for a short time. Mahone led his men to the charge. He expelled the scoundrels by main force, killed five hundred of them dead on the spot, and took prisoners eight hundred and fifty-five more. The negroes of the concern, it seems, being assured of victory, raised the cry of "no quarter; remember Fort Pillow;" as they had been taught by the scoundrels who led them into this scrape. Cannot our men take a hint? We would always give quarter to the negro. He is stolen property, and ought to be returned. But, for the white men found fighting in the ranks with him — why, we would give him quarter too — what was called in the old Revolutionary war "Tarlton's quarter"--that is to say, pretty much no quarter at all. We are assured that, for the front covered, this was the bloodiest repulse ye
