Battle of the Wilderness. We stated briefly a few days ago some moral and fanciful reasons why the great battle in which Jackson fell should be called the Battle of the Wilderness. The matter of fact, however, is stronger than anything else in behalf of the name.

f great strength and was very probably alluded to by Hooker a short time since as one he knew of, from which the whole Confederate army could not dislodge him. If he thought he knew such an one he would certainly go to it, and no doubt did, in preference to all others accessible to him. It was indeed a strong one. Yet Jackson's impetuous charge in the very jaws of death, as it were, could not be resisted by the Yankees, and they were driven from it. The name "Wilderness" will perpetuate the nature of the position thus heroically stormed and carried — it will commemorate the last great fight of that Hero of many bloody fields whose last achievement was his greatest. On the other hand, "Chancellorsville" is the name of a place with only one dwelling-house situated several miles from the great fight of the two days combat; and unsuggestive as it is at best, it could not therefore be applied with topographical truthfulness to designate the bloody struggle with the ruthless invader.
Northern and Western News. Jackson, May 11. --A special dispatch to the Appeal, dated Senatobia, 10th, says reports from the river represent that Gen. Price had met and chastised the Yankee at St. Francis river. It was reported at Memphis that the Confederates had occupied Pittsburg, Pa. The Memphis Bulletin, of the 8th, has a dispatch from Cincinnati, dated the 8th, which says: "Dayton was comparatively quiet after 10 o'clock yesterday. Troops from Cincinnati and Columbus began pouring in. Thirty of the ringleaders of the mob have arrived.--Every precaution has been taken to prevent a renewal of the attack." A St. Louis dispatch says that fifteen of the most prominent Secessionists were arrested. --No favor will be shown, but they will be sent South with their families.
