been begun, and when it is completed will add greatly to the strength of the fortress which now commands the harbor. The good news of the battle of Shiloh arrived here yesterday through the modest, brief, but comprehensive, dispatch of General Beauregard. All the city is gay with banners, the Mercury office has given to the breeze the flag of South Carolina, and all are exultant over a victory to which our Beauregard has so materially contributed. The devotion and love of our people for tBeauregard has so materially contributed. The devotion and love of our people for this distinguished officer is on the increase, and all look confidently to the good star which guides him to lead to yet greater honors. Our hearts are saddened by the loss of the gallant Johnston, than whom no man deserved more the love and confidence of the people. But he fell where the noble prefer to die — on the battle-field which has secured the rights and liberties of his country. May the battle-field of Shiloh be a favorable omen of the coming of the deliverance of our people, as i

e Rappahannock, in Virginia, alone; while and her estimate of 120,000 at Corinth, in Mississippi, is currently spoken of as the force concentrated for a general engagement with Grant and Bued in that quarter. That the entire rebel force is less than one-half, and scarcely in excess of one-third the grand total of the National army, there is good reason to suppose. This b the fair basis of calculation, it is uttered impossible that Johnston and Lee should have 150,000 in Virginia, or Beauregard 120,000 on the ine of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, including the raw and unequipped device at Decatur, North Alabama. Virginia has less than 60,000 enrolled. Of her eighty regiments, we grant the whole to be in service in her own borders, but not behind the Rappahannock alone, otherwise Norfolk, Yorktown, &c., would be defenceless. North Carolina has 25,000 in service; these are mainly at home; South Carolina, 20,000, of whom nearly one-half is, or ought to be, in and around Cha

of our glorious victory in the West The people caught up the joyous notes, and made the surrounding hills reverberate with their exultant shouts. A sad, sad story remained. Soon after the notes of victory died away, the solemn tones of the tolling balls announced that a nation mourns the fall of some of her noblest sons. The here of the battle of Shiloh is fallen! The Confederacy contained few such men as Albert Sidney Johnston. The report that General Van-Dorn has reinforced General Beauregard at Corinth derives probability from the following, which we copy from the New Orleans Delta, of the 5th inst.: Our Corinth correspondent announces the arrival of Gen. Van-Dorn at that place on the 31st ult. This fact does not indicate a junction between Gen. Van-Dorn's forces and the army in Tennessee; but it does suggest some degree of plausibility in the statement recently made, to the effect that the Western army was about to make a movement towards the Mississippi. It is pro

ners. Their gunboats prevented a more complete victory. A dispatch received last night says that 500 of our cavalry had attacked the Federals, killing many, and capturing 48 prisoners. Passengers by the morning train assert, positively, that Gen. Buell was killed. Also, that a truce had been agreed to on both sides for two days to bury the dead. The enemy only attacked when reinforced, and every time we whipped them back under cover of their gunboats. Gen. Prentiss told Gen. Beauregard that he had 60,000 of the flower of the Federal army, but that he should not whip 125,000 Confederates. Gen. B. replied that he had in the fight only 38,000 men, and could whip the Federals three to one on a fair field. The 21st Alabama regiment covered itself with glory. All behaved nobly, and fought with great valor. Their charges were irresistible. Many of the rumors from the battle are unfounded. I send you only such reports as are deemed reliable.

annah, April 11.--A special dispatch to the Republican, from "P. W. A., at Corinth, says that on the 7th the enemy was reinforced by 7,000 men, and renewed the fight. The Confederates repulsed them twice. At 10 o'clock further reinforcements were brought up by Gen. Buell. The battle raged with varying fortune. Gens. Cheatham, Bowen and Clark were wounded. We took 2,000 prisoners. The loss on both sides was heavy. At nine o'clock P. M. the enemy was heavily reinforced, and Beauregard fell back. The Confederates fought two days, the enemy being constantly reinforced. On the 8th both sides were too badly worsted to renew the fight. April 10--The number of Confederates killed is much loss than was at first supposed. The number of wounded is comparatively slight. Prisoners are still arriving, nearly ,000 have already been brought in, including about 200 officers. The Confederates firmly hold their position. The men are in good condition and ready for
