The following is an extract from a private letter from Pernambuco, dated April 30: "We have stirring news on this coast. That fine fellow, Semmes, in the Alabama, (called by the Yankees always the British pirate,) has taken a large number of North American vessels on this coast; six we know of as burned off Fernando, and the crews sent in. This morning the Florida has sent in by a French v

-About the time the battle was over, a column of rebels made their appearance at Young's Point — all the citizens and transient persons having been put under arms. No attack had been made when our informant left. Memphis, June 12th.--The steamer Fort Wayne arrived up to day. There are no later dates than the 8th. No guerillas were seen on the way up. The fight at Milliken's Bend, on Monday last, was a sanguinary affair, and much larger than at first reported. The rebels were under McCullough, 2,500 strong. The Federal force was three negro regiments and the 23d Iowa. The rebels made a desperate charge at daylight. The negroes broke in confusion, but finding their captured companions slaughtered, rallied with great desperation, and drove the rebels back. The loss was heavy on both sides. The guerillas destroyed portions of the railroad track near Germantown last night. The damage was slight, and soon repaired. The rebel forces in Northern Mississippi have all be
Stonewall Jackson (search for this): article 17
contained on Saturday last the following libel upon our troops: We have very much yet to learn. The bayonet, of which so much has been said, has proved, in fact, almost a nullity in the war. Our troops can neither be got to use it or to stand against it. In many actions they have obeyed orders to charge, and done it well; but in all such cases the enemy has never stood the charge. At the point of the bayonet we have done very little actual fighting. All the successes of "Stonewall" Jackson were achieved by bayonet charges, which our men have refused to await and receive. Very much of what is written about desperate bayonet charges, and hand-to-hand fighting between the contending ranks, is pure romance, as the surgeons on both sides have repeatedly proved. Yet the use of the bayonet is what we ought to learn, and must learn if we hope for permanent military superiority. But bad as this is, hear what an exchanged Massachusetts officer who was taken prisoner on the Rappa

It is said that the musket of the guard were without bayonets and unloaded, and each man was seized by four of the Confederates, thus rendering resistance useless.

A dispatch from Cairo, dated the 12th inst, says: In the fight at Milliken's Bend, on Saturday, our force was less than 1,000, over 600 of whom were negroes. The rebels at first drove our forces some distance, nearly surrounding them. The fight was conducted with energy and desperation by our forces, and the rebels were held at bay until a gunboat came to assist us. Eye witnesses report that our loss in killed was 134, 100 of whom were negroes. The wounded is

d disastrous defeat at Chancellorsville. There is only one real reason, and that the simplest possible. Our army didn't fight as well as that of our enemies. We had every possible advantage. Our numbers more than doubled theirs, till Longstreet's reinforcements came up, which didn't then bring their forces up to 100,000 to oppose our 130,000. Indeed, it would now seem that Longstreet didn't come up at all. We had the advantage of position and no inconsiderable amount of entrenchment. Gen Hooker's plan was admirably arranged and excellently carried out, until the fighting took place. He exposed himself in the hottest place of danger and set an electrifying example of heroism to the whole army. The terrible loss of life among our Generals shows that on the whole they were not found wanting at their posts of duty. We had men enough, well enough equipped and well enough posted, to have devoured the ragged, imperfectly armed and equipped host of our enemies from off the face of the
