The Omaha RyuWcan explains its position on . the War Tnx. It 'has no cljection !j the diversion of the appro priation" of the' -0, COO annually appro priated for Legislative expenses. But prefers that it should be deducted from the sum paid by our people under ih op erations of the Internal Revenue Law, instead cf being used fof the Direct Tax. This would be well enough if it.: was practical. The Internal Revenue Bill is so constructed as tacrine frcm the people Indirectly. It is collected from Mauu lacturers, Venders, Licenses. Soc, but of course is paid ultimately by consumers. It will T.cccfjariaily rci;c the price of manufactured articles cf every descrip tion. The Revenue from articles we consume in Nelru-.ka most of it at least will be paid, by .manufacturers in the . cities in tho States, the consumers paying them lack in the advanced price. Con sequently we can conceive cf no plan by which 'the 0CQ0 for Legislative ex penses can be diverted ' towards paying the h tcrr.al Revenue Tat, so as-lo re lieve the people cf Nebraska. It is true; that merchants; lawyers, sa- . locn keepers, and others, trill hare to pay Tccnse, under the Internal Revenue.

And even if they should be relieved from this it will cot benefit 'he people matettaly ; for prices will iz reg ulated by p-riees in other places. - The Republican, we think, far overrates the amount cf property that would be exempt under the provisions cf the direct tax.

The great feature of this meniorab sitge, jind tlie.itiimdiate cause of the gn at victory which followed, is (he trans portation of the tour steam irs across the country lo ihe aid of Gen. Pope. Whtn tiu place was invested. Col. Bis sell came acrcs the uecii i-f iami whi;h is funned by the bend of the river, in a sinal. boat, the water being so high that i.avigatixi was perfectly ta.-y. with ihe exceimon of the obstructions tCered by tree and undergrowth. . He announced that Gn. Tope although below ibe enemy, and in a condition to cross and completely surround thtm, was iu want of boats for that purpose, and could make no movement until he wa3 put in possession of them. The enemy were iii possession of the bend of the river. and ihere was no means of passing them wiih transports. . Col. Bissell announced that he was in readiness .to attempt the task of liking thitn across the country. and arrangements were immediately made to expedite the project. . . . The steamers Vi. B.Terry and Trio, being of light draft, and drawing but SO iuchesof water, were placed at his dis posai; and the point lor entering the woods was selected t the foot of Island No. 8. The " difficulties of the work will be understood when it i known that for a distance of over twelve miles ihe boats were lobe transported ihrcugh a heavy forest, where the trees were uncommon ly large and clos together, and' where the dense cotton-wood, undergrowth and cane-brake peculiar to this country grew in all its native luxuriance. There was! plenty of water, the river having over flowed its banks to a-depth cf from five to fifteen feeC'and m 'many places much deeper. The tatk of clearing cut the trees was one tb.it would have dismayed a stouter heart than Col, Bissell's, but for the engineering experience and natural ingenuity which came lb his aid. He at tacked the primeval forest, and, in a few hours, was buried from sight in its depths. Accompanied by a large detachment of men; in 'small boals and flatboats, armed with long cross cut saws and axes, he made fast work of it. The trees to be cut were selected and chopped down. They w ere, however, as much in the way as ever, as the stamps were still above water. An upright timber was then fast ened to the stump, and to the top cf this, some six feet high,' was fastened an os cillating frame, swinging on a bolt, and extending four feet below the surface of ihe riverT The saw was'fastened to this frame at the lower end, and, with a rope extending each way, It was pulled back and forth until the tree was sawed cfF. Iu this way the largeit trees succumbed and fell in a short time. Fifteen min utes usually conquered an ordinary tre, and half an hour was stifEc'ent for the giants of the furist. The work was not done then, however. The over-hanging tree-ic-ps were to be cut, to allow the up len:;th cf the beat, v moved a mile cr reere. They did rot kee: a straight ctur:-.?, br.t turned aside when a raviee or valley c.Tercd less ob structions. The great c'jeet wa3 to reach a deep baycu which emptied into the river at New Madrid. After reaching this bayou they were neatly as far from New Madrid as when they started, after being in the weeds a week and a half, but it be ing comparatively free from trees and undergrowth, ani they made rapid pro gress towards the river. Finally, after havTng been in ihe woods over two weeks without a sight ci: dry land they emerged into the Mi.-sirsipr-i ence more, and with joyful beans siimrd up to New Madrid, ami J the enthusiastic welcomings of our soldiery, who saw in them the harbingers of change and relief. They had traveled about eighteen miles in getting through. This great fiat cf ingenuity and per severenoe was thus accomplished without a single drawback to its complete success. The rebels were struck with conster nation when the boats came out into the river, before the ir very eyes, and took their places at the levee at New Madrid, and then-they began to think that the Yankees were indeed in earnest when they started to travel across the country ly steamboat. right, while a lirge rur.-!-r cf br..tt:r.:r.2. were planted along the entire lia 3 frcm the river bank nortll.vest to cer extrenas right, two riiles and a half - distant.

For a short time the rebel 3 replied wi:h vigcr and effect, but their return shot3 grew less frequent and destructive, -while curs grew more rapid and mere terrible. The gunboats Lexington and Tyler, which lay a short distance elf, kept raining shell on the rebel hordes. This last e fort was too much for the enemy, and ere dusk the tiring had nearly ceased, when night coming on. all the combatants res'.ed from their awful work of blood and carnage.

One of the greatest and bloodiest bat tles cf modern days has just closed, re sulting in the complete rout of the ene my, who attacked us at daylight on Sun day. The battle lasted without intermis sion during the entire day, and was again rent wed on Monday and continued until 4 o'clock, P. M., when the enemy com menced iheir retreat, and are still flying towards Corinth, pursued by a large force cf cur cavalry. The slaughter 01? both sides is immense. We have lost in killed, wounded and mis sing from 18,000 to 20,000. That of the enemy is estimated at from 35,000 to40, C00. It is impossible in the present con fused state of affairs to ascertain any details; I therefore give ycu the best ac count possible, from observation, having passed through the" storm c! action during the two days that, it raged. The fight was brought on by a body of COO of the Twenty-fifth Missouri Regi ment, of Gen. Prentiss' division, attack ing the advance guards of the rebels, which were supposed to be the pickets of the enemy in frcnt of our camp. The rebel? immediately advanced on Gen. Prentiss' division on the left wing pouring volley after volley cf musketry, and riddling our camps with grape, can ister and shell. Our forces soon formed in. line and re turned their fire vigorously, and by the tioi we vfri picpsj-.'eJ to receive them, they had turned their heaviest fire 03 the left and centre of Gen. Sherman's divi sion, and drove our men back from their camps, and bring up a f esh force, cpened fire on our left wing under General Mc Ciernaud. - The fire was returned with terrible effYoi and. determined spirit, by both in tauiry and artillery, along the whole hue, lor a distance of over four miles. Gen. Ilurlbut's division was thrown forwafd to support the centre, when a desperate conllict ensued. The rebels were driven lack with terrible slaughter, but soon rallied and drove our men back in turn. From about nine o'clock.' the time jour correspondent arrived on the field, until night closed on the bloody scene,' there was no determining the result of the struggle. The rebe ls exhibited remark ably good generalship, at times engaging the left with apparently their wnole strength, then they would suddenly open a terrible and destructive fire on the right or centre. . " Even our heaviest and most destructive fire on the enemy did not appear to dis courage their solid columns. The fire of Major Taylor's Chicago artillery raked them down in scorces. but tne smoke woidd no sooner be dispersed than the breacbuwould again be filled. The moat desperate firing took place late .in the afternoon. " '' ' . . The rebels knew if they did not suc ceed in whipping us that their chances for success would be extremely doubtful, as a portion of Gen. Butdl's force had by thi tune arrived "ii the oppoaite side of the river, and the other portion was com ing up the river from Savannah, They became aware that we were being rein forced, as they could see Gen. - Butirs troop.i from the river l ank, a short dis tance above us, on the left, to which point they had forced our left wing back so as occupy fully two-thirds of our camp and were fighting their way forward wiin a desperate degree of confidence in their effort to drive us into the river, and at the same time bravely engaged our right. Up to this time re had received no rein forcements.. Gen. Lew. "Wallace failing to come to our support until the day was over, having taken the wrong road from Crump's Landing, and being without other transports than those used for quarter master and commissary stores, which were too heavily laden to ferry any considera ble number of Gen. Buell's forces across the river, those that v ere here having been sent lo bring the troops from Savan nah; we were contending against fear ful odds, our force not exceeding thirty eight thousand, while that of the enemy was upwards of .ixty thousand. Our con dition al this moment was extremely crit ical. Large numbers of our men were panic struck; others, worn out by hard fight ing, with the average per centage of skulkers, had struggled towards the river, and could not be rallied. Gen.

Bueli having arrived on the pre vious evening, the ball was opened at day light in the morning simultaneously, by Gen. Nelsons, division on the left, and Gen. Wallace's division on the t ight. Gen. Nelson's force cpened a most galling fire, and advanced rapidly as the rebels fell back. The fire soon became general along the whole line, and began to tell with terrible effect upon the enemy. - Generals McClernand, Sherman and Hurlbut's men, though terribly jaded from the previous day's fighting, still maintained their honors won at Donelson, but the resistance of the rebels at all points was terrible, and worthy a better rause. But thev were not enough for our undaunted bravery, and the dreadful destruction produced by our artillery, which was sweeping them away file chaff before the wind. But knowing that a defeat would be a death blow to their hopes, and that their all depended upon this great struggle, their generals still urged them on ia the face of destruction, hoping by flanking us oa the right to turn the tide cf battle. Their success was again for a time cheering, as they began to gain ground, on our appearing to have been reinforced, but our left, under Gen. Nelson, was driving them forward with wonderful rapidity, and by 11 o'clock. Gen. Buell's force had succeeded in flank ing them, and capturing their hatteries of ertilIery They however again rallied on the left, an3 re-crossed to the right; and forced themselves forward to another desperate effort, but reinforcements from Gen. Wood and Gen. Thomas were com ing in, regiment after regiment, which were sent to Gen. Buell, who had again commenced to drive the enemy, About 3. P. M., Gen. Grant rode to the left, where the fresh regiments had been ordered, and finding the rebels wavering, sent a portion of his body guard to the head of each cf five regiments, and then ,.- w,t .

The men followed with a shout that sounded above the roar and din of artillery and the rebels fled in dis may from a destroying avalanche, and never made another stand. Gen. Buell follow ed the re treating reb els, driving them in spb'nded style, and by half past five o'clock, the whole rebel army was in full retreat to Corinth with our cavalry in hot pursuit, lut with what success is not known, they not having re turned up to this ho r.' We have taken a large amount of their artillery, also a number of prisoners. We lost a "number of our forces, prisoners, yesterday, among whom is Gen. Prentiss. The number of our troops taken has not been ascertained, but it is reported at several hundred. Gen. Prentiss ia also reported wounded. Arnonjr the killed on. the rebel side was the General-in-Chief Albert Sidney Johnsson, who was struck by a cannon ballon Sunday. Of this there is no doubt as the report is corroborated by several rebel officers taken to-day. It is further reported that Beauregard had his arm shot off this afternoon. Generals Bragg, Breckinridge and Jackson were com manding portions of the rebel forces. There has never been a parallel to the gallantry and bearing of our officers, from th Commanding General to the lowest officer. Gen. Grant and staff were in the field rding along the lines in the thickest of the fire during the two days of the battle, and all slept on the ground Sunday night, .during a heavy rain. On several occasions Gen. Grant got within range of the enemy's guns, and was dis covered and fired upon. Lieut. Col. Mc pherson had his horse thot from under him, when along side of. Gen. Grant. Capt. Carson was between Gen. Grant and your correspondent, when a cannon ball took off his head and wounded ceveral others. Gen. Sherman had two horses killed under him, and Gen. McClernand shared like danger, also Gen. Hurlbut, each of whom received bullet holes throngh their clothes. Gen. BueJl remained with his troops during the entire day, and with Gen. Crittenden and Gen. Nelson rode continually along the lines encouraging their men. Our loss in officers is very heaey. It is impossible at present to present their men. Cairo, April 9. Our loss in killed and wounded is estimated from 8,000 to 10,000; the enemy '8 about the same. Rebel prisoners say Beauregard made a speech upon entering the fight, saying he would "water his hcr&a in the Tennessee liiver or in Hell! the fight before them was Hell unless suc cessful." He is reported mortally rounded, and Gen, A. S. Johnston killed. Though our army was signally routed and driven back on Sunday, the suc cess of Monday was the greatest of the wur. - Cairo, April 10. The report that Bcaureaid had hU arm shattered has teen confirmed. alter ; cemr before a- .:in!: and cross f re. Gen. Sherman had four horses killed under him, and a cannon ball through Ills hat. Matter row began to look gloomy enough. The enemy were driving us before them atal! points. The Seventieth and Seventy-seventh Ohio had ibd in grcr.t confusion. Soldiers were seen from the river com ing back in great numbers, many in their panic even plunging in so as to reach the transports, and were kept off only at the point of tne bayonet. Three regiment ccuhl not be rallied. When evening " arrived it was found that we had been pushed back from one to three miles; that upon the left the rebels were crowding down toward the river, that Wallace's division, which had been relied upon to reinforce the right, had got off tac road and taken a circuit of fifteen miles. At six o'clock, however, the gunboat3 came to our assistance, and contributed very materially towards changing the for the right, and Polk the left,' of the rebel advance. Their charges were five or six regiments deep. General Smith was unable to com mand his division in the battle, and is now reported elangerously ill with typhoid fever. . On Monday Gen. Lew. Wallace did good work with his division on the right of our lines. Latest News and Further Particulars. The-entire.. particulars of the en gagement, so far as learded,are brief- ly these : On Saturday the whole forces at Pittsburg, Savannah and Crump's Xanding were 75,000, including sick, about 50,000 being fit for service. The ball opened Sunday norning before daylight by an attack upon Prentiss's division which was near the center, and thrown out aboutfive miles from the river. The command .of Prentiss, instead of falling back and contracting their lines, attempted to hold their ground against an opposing force of 60,000. Of course the result was extremely disastrous. Prentiss and two or three regiments were cap tured. Towards noon there was a lull in the attack which was generally sup posed to presage a retreat. General Grant, lioweve, thought the indica tion." were ominous, and prepared to receive a fresli attack. Accordingly it was not long before the enemy renewed the attack upon tunes of the engagement. At six o'clock the Tyler, under the able com mand of Cay tain Gwynn, took position about the middle of the river opposite the groagc, and commenced throwing eight inch shell, and shrapnell from the hoitzer, and continued at irregular intervals, averaging five minutes, until dark, and from nine until one, at in tervals of ten minutes, when the Lex ington relieved her, shelling the ene my at intervals of fifteen minutes, until morning. A Their position could only be determined bv the discharge of musketry upon our left flank; but as their troops were massed here in great numbers, the execution was ef fective. Before the struggle of Monday Gen. Grant determined to assume the offen sive, and commenced the attack with the assistance of 30,000 fresh troops. (Buell arrived at 12 o'clock Sunday, but his forces could not be gotten up.) The struggle was obstinate and des perate, the rebels only yiehlingground inch by inch, and not fairly retreating till about o o'clock in the afternoon. The battle of Monday, aa far as appears, was maintained on either side by simple hard fighting, without feint or maneuvre. As I have before men tioned, the most obstinate single en counter took place between Gen. NeN son's brigade on the extreme left and the enemy's battery. The retreat of the rebels was made in good order, without a continued pursuit from our forces. The whole history of the en gagement, however, p'ainly shows that the enemy had determinsd to ma-ke a Waterloo of it the terrible dash of Sunday nearly annihilating U3 the desperate character of the final strug gle Monday indicate it. To-day a rebel ofHcer,'with a flag of truce, came in with a dispatch from Beauregard, saying that "in conse quence of our reinforcements, he had keemed it best to retire to Corinth, and desired to bring in h'u dead." (This is authentic.) This paper was issued by Beauregard instead of John ston, which could hardly have been done had the latter been living. The roads are in an awful condition, which will retard the forward movement for a short time.

' :. to draw the fire fr t eric s of the en cm of batteries were discovered an or near each point, where troops could land, and there was jv continuous fire of heavy guns all day. The Carondelet attacked one batte ry on her way up the river, and Lewis II Marshall, aid to General Pope, accompanied by pome soldiers of the Twenty's eventh Illinois, landed, spiked the guns, broke the carriages and threw the rebels' ammunitions into the river. All returned to New Madrid in safety, delighted with their excur sion. This morning the gunboats Caron dele1", and Pittsburg proceeded by or der to the point selected by General Pope for his forces to bind, and in twn hours three batteries were silenced and the guns spiked. At 11 o'clock, the First Division of four regimenr.3 infantry and one bat tery artillery, commanded by Gen. Paine, crossed the river, followed by Gen. Stanley's division, then General Hamilton's and the cavalry division under General Granger. The whole operation of crossing ths river in the face of the enemy, was a magnificent spectacle, and reflects great credit upon Gen. Pope, whose energy and skill have been severely taxed, but he has triumphed. Within the next forty eight hours, the f ite of Island Number Ten will be finally settled, and another bright. rnge added to our history. Cairo, April 9."
