Tlat it was a corn . plete and filoriooa victory we all foci a'sarcd, for wt have the testimony of tbe pctrLrs Beauregard," who lightest word la a word of power to the oui rn pan- pie, whose name seems allied to victory, wlr w tery preeetce gives confidence of iuccvm. ' . Bat the victory U deatly bought tUt deprive the - country of the services of the pare, the wise, the able, the steadfast and tried soldier ar.d patriot, Alb- rt SiJ Dfy Johoiton, who fell, leading on bis men to victory ; wboss nam will go dawo to the latest poite.-ity allied with tbe glorious achievement of the 6lh of April, 18G2, who, in bia death, gave ths noblest erid-tice of the spirit that bad controlled bim through life, ami who, dying as a aoldier would wiab to die, beat answered bia anurling and garrnloua detractor! In Congress and tLrwgh the press. All honor to tbe chriilian soldier cnJ p -i;: !- man ; all honor too, to the bravo men ihmu hi IcjiI into the thickest of the fi.'ht, and who with him foremost i fighting ML Ia oany a home " there U a voice of wail, and woman's eye ia wet, man' check Is p.le," It is trne that we have a yet heard Tt'U of tb't - great cootcat which may be called tie Ma.iHMjui of the West, bat wo Bote some points of rmlton1 lietwcn it and 1U glorious predecessor. Like'Maua-, it wai fnncbt on Hnndev. Like Marasaua too. it v.i fonirbt on our aide by Oencrala Jubuaton and Keaurrgard ; and, aa that battle, so in this, Beauregard was a 'eoud iu rank, yet circumstances made bim virtually tbe com mander Jo much of both battles. Would that we could carry oat tbe parallel by adding that, in this caw as in that, both of oar cherished leaders were a!o ud ready to fight other battles for their country. That iu the future as in the past, we conld point to the illustrious trio, "Beauregard and the two Johnston !" We most take the bitter with the sweet, but it ia still bit - ter. . ..'"'' Tbe lose of men like tbeae ia no tomuion low, ncd the great slaughter of our leading eoldiera leads to the re flection that our Generals are too prodigal of their lives, which belong even lees to them tbso t their country, and to their army. Wc ahudder to think what might have been the result had Beauregard alio Lave Mien. We know bow much we lost at tba greut baltle at Tea Ridge by the death of McCulloch, Mclntoiih and Black- Uow it dlsorgatilzod their communis aud wreutvd vic tory out oi Vba very grasp of Van Dan -and 1'iick. Wo cannot bat believe the etatemect whiub aawrts that the enemy have corps of practised sharp sbooters, armed ' with the most accurate weapons, with theloogciit rangu and fitted with telescopic sights, whose vocation it is to shoot oar officers, especially our brst .known Gew raia. The disparity between tho Generals und other tfDcers killed on their side and on ours, must result cither from a great difference of system, or from tie operations ol a regular organization for the purpose above referred to, or from both. Ko doubt the fighting waa more stubborn aud the loaa ouch greater on both aides than it was at Manns aaa, (or tbe army with which 'the Confederates bad to cope, waa even better armed and equipped than that which poured out ficm Washington under McDowell, while it was itfioltely superior to that army in orgaui- " cation and discipline, having been drilkd and practiced for months, seasoned in skirmishes and contests, fiushid with recent and numerous successes, and made up ot Western men loured to toil and dar ger. Some of our troops too were tried veterans, bnt aa a whole tbry must have been more ccwly raised than those of the enemy, bat still mostly veterans compared with those we had at Manassas. Why, at the time when tbe battle of Ma nassas was fought, neither North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, nor Arkansas, had been more thau two months in ahe Confederacy, and their rrgimcnta were all newly raised. - We are not without fcaratbat General Johnston, brave and firm and wise a man as be was, ellowcd the attacks made upon bim and the slurs cast upon his character and courage to influence too fur a naturally sensitive and ardent temperament, and that be went into this battle with a desperate determination to do or die, to risk bis own life, perhaps too freely and too reckless ly, and possibly be did do a v goaded by the simps ol - such wasps as Foote and others of line TcuncsKC del gation, who, if the troth were to be plainly tolJ, are not fit to clean the shoes of such a nan m Albert John' ston. . . , From the later . despatches received this morning, Jt. is evident that the defeat was iodecd a total one, a com- plete root, which caunot ba withoat iia iuQaeuc not . otdy in a military bat also in a what we may call political point of view. It WW bare ' tendeocy to- oeourage , tbe true men of Kentucky and Teonetsce to renewed t exertion it will excite hope in those who live in por tions that have bad to bend before the storm. It will overawe traitors in those sections that ere still held by our forces. Bat with tbe Tennessee River open, of course Halleck and Bnell can bring down heavy reinforcements. Ii they had at the battle of Sunday last some thirty-five thousand men, tbey have of course abundant resources to draw upon. This, however, can only enable them to make some stand to cover the retreat of their routed host, which was no doubt the flower of the Western army of the Federals. Beauregard, Brajrg, Polk and other Confederate leaders have also an ample reserve within atr iking distance, and will push forward the pur suit which, being through a country friendly to them ana hoaUl to the Federals, will ensure the destruction or capture of a Urge portion of tbe defeated forces of uw rnier, no, y diepersed or disorganized, will find neither guide nor sjmpathiaere amonr the people of .tt. . uvjuu, vteaiern Tennessee.

Buill at Nashville, which is worthy of re?oid as a part of tbe history of the times. I he exploits of Capt. Morgan are niori? bka the roman tic and daring feata ol the days of koighlh rod and chi valry than anything e'ss vre can compare them to. It seems that Capt. Morgan, having learned that Gen. Buell bad determined to buna; four of his men as out laws, who bad been taken prisoners in bis memorable Bcoutof Merck 8, be procetdd with a flaj of truce and teo of bis men to Nashville. Oa bia way he rutit Gen. Mitchell with a large force of the enemy's cavalry, to whom be made bis object known Mitchell sa;d he waa just iroing out to aearch for Morgan, aid regretted to meet with him under the prottction of a flag of truce. Morgan, with a meaning look not to be miunderatoud, assured the Federal General that no oae mo. e than him self shared bis regret and bis d sappointment, an I hoped that an opportunity would eooo tfl rcf meeting bim under more favorable circumstance. Mitchell tbeu gave Morgan an escort, and accompanied him to Buell's quartern. Buell waa greatly surprised at meeting with the bold partisan face to lace, and, evincing no little uneasiness, asked to what circumstances be was indebt ed for tha honor of this visit. Morgan replied that his errand wis a christian one ; that be had been informal taut General Buell had threatened to bang four of his men, w ho had been taken plisoners, ns outlaws, ia violation of the rules of war ami civilization : tbat be bad nnrty s x federal prison ers In hia possession, and that .it such was Buell's de- k!s for one if his men. Buell disclaimed any such intention. autleaifLhcaiotilJ never violate tbe usage of civwz d warlare Morgan then proposed an exchange ot the tUirty six Federal prisoners for his foar men, saying that tbe tiu- fereoce in numbers was but a fair valuation orthc';s3r- LviCTS ftf bia brave troop rs. liufcll renlied that be waa compelled to decline the ofl-jr, as he could not negotiate with an officer interior to bim in rank. ... " That is unfortunate, sir," replied Morgan, " as tbe objection could not bold good in any other sense j" aud the interview then terminated. - It was alter thisl that Morgan learned that one of his men, named Love, bad been shot after be was taken prisoner. I have also been put in possession of the pirlicu.ars of another most gallant aflair which occurred on the loth inst., aud of which no mention bas yet been made. Oo that day,' Lieut Basile Duke, the adjatont and brother-in-law of Captain Morgan, and equally as brave and darin?, proceeded with eighteen mea to within three and a hell miles of Nashville, and half a mile ol Gen. McOook's camp, where, concealing themsjlves, tbey dis moun'ed, leavin? the horses in charge of three of thetr men, white tbc fifteen took position off from the turn pike, and succeedid in killing twenty-three of the ene my's advance guard, among whom were three lieuten ants and on8 captain. Three of our men Icing cut oU" from returning to their horses, were forced to cross the enemy's lines by an old field, and passed within thirty steps of their pickets,' who saw them from tbe pika, aud who allowed tbem to gO by, supposing tbat ttere was a la-ge force and that they would capture the whole cirn maud. -The three mea, by moking a circuit of half a mile, regained their horses in safety and the whole com mand escaped without tbe loea of a man.
