een too profitable to Nashville and Nashville people. I will endeavor to show how in a future letter. Their interest bound them to the Confederacy, and that is the strongest inducement with which it is possible to tempt nature to be base. General Buell has been too kind. Good men have not been rewarded, nor have bad men been punished. The people laugh at General Buell's efforts to conciliate. They treat him and his men with open disdain and scorn. The lines are too loose. A wholesome fGeneral Buell's efforts to conciliate. They treat him and his men with open disdain and scorn. The lines are too loose. A wholesome fear would benefit them. We want here a little more of the stringency of General Halleck. I see no remedy for the harshness here but a little less coaxing and more punishment. Within the last few days, since the movement South became general, the people have been particularly impudent and offensive. Men do not make any demonstrations publicly, but it is plain by whom women, girls, and boys are pushed in to offer the grossest insults to officers and men. Any one of the demonstrations made
f editorial, written before the fuller details of the telegraph came to hand, represented that Gen. Buell commanded the Federalists. This was an error. General Grant was in command, and had not been joined by Buell when the battle took place. As our forces attacked the enemy, it is probable that the plan was to defeat him before a junction with Buell could be effected. We perceive that Grant'Buell could be effected. We perceive that Grant's column was estimated by Federal authority at 60,000 men. How many Buell has, we are unable to say; but conjecture that his column cannot much exceed that under Gen.

Grant, which included, we believe, a considerable force from Halleck's division. Whatever it be, we cannot doubt that it will meet a fate similar to that just submitted to by the 60,000 or more under Gen. Grant. We apprehend BuelBuell will not hazard an engagement with our victorious forces under Beauregard, but will find it necessary to withdraw to some position nearer his base of operations. He is a very accomplished officer
scape. Later from Nashville. The Memphis Appeal, of the 3d, says: We learn from parties who left Nashville as late as Saturday, that the gunboat and transports at that place had found it necessary to leave on account of the low stage of water. The army at Columbia had crossed Duck river, and had reached Mount Pleasant on Monday, on the road leading towards Savannah, where they would probably arrive today or to-morrow. McCook and Nelson were in command of the advance. Gen Buell was bringing up the rear, and had arrived at Columbia. From Island 10--official. The following information was communicated by telegraph to the commandant at Memphis, under date of April 1st, 1862: The bombardment of Madrid Bend and Island 10 commenced on the 15th instant, and continued constantly night and day. The enemy has fired several thousand thirteen-inch and rifle shells. On the 17th a general attack with five gunboats and four mortar boats was made, which lasted 9
h: "Private dispatches to as say that we have gained the most complete victory of the war. We have driven the enemy to their transports. We have 5,000 prisoners. One of Gen. Hindman's leg was shot off Gen. Breckinridge won immortal honor; his clothes were shot off, and two horses were killed under him. Gen. Pienties and other Generals are among the prisoners." The extent and importance of this victory are difficult to estimate from the data before us. Our dispatches state that Gen. Buell did not arrive in time to take part in the struggle, from which we infer that no portion of his corp was engaged and that it was the heavy column of the enemy commanded by General Grant that suffered the disastrous shock, and went down beneath the resistless valor of our arms. What this column numbered, we are not prepared to say; but Gen. Prentices, who was taken prisoner, estimates it at $5,000. Our combined force was considerably larger, and is believed to be sufficiently strong in num
