A former dispatch says that when Gen.

retreat, he became frantic and told his
men to save themselves the best way
they could. We captured " nine locomo

say that immeubuely upon the occupation
of Corinth, forces from General Pope's
division were sent out. in pursuit of such
rebels as fled westward.
Gen. . Grabger, in command of two
regiments of cavalry, soon came up with
tha rear of the rebel army six miles south
of Corinth, and engaged them in a fight
and lost fifty men. He was aftewarda
largely reinforced, when the rebels sur
rendered. -.-

SicEL- jn ViFGiNiA. Gen Sigel is
again in the field. This will be his fourth
campaign during the war. It was first
Lyon and Sigel; then Fremont and Si
gel; then Curtis and Sigel; now, from
his location, we should judge it was likely
to be Banks and Sisrel. . The first two of
his campaigns were in Southern Missou
ri la?t year ; the third -was in Western
.Arkansas this year, and the fourth Sigel
will soon let us know where he is. In
all his campaigns, Sigel has proved him
self to be not only a gallant soldier, but a
most accomplished and scientific officer
a master of military strategy, and of all
the manoeuvres of the field an indomit
able, Stlf-possessed, modest man a loyal,
intelligent citizen. The whole country
has followed hitn with admiration througl -out
his entire military career in the far
West; and now. that he takes the field in
a new quarter, he will be watched with,
if possible, a . keener interest. Gen.
Sigel has already performed some of the
most splendid feats of the war. May his
present campaign be still more. brilliant.

The Loudon Times on Abolition
In tuc District of Columbia.
Neither Englishmen or Frenchmen
have been forward to recognize the fact
that the 16th of April, 1862, was a day
which will stand in American history as
the greatest day since that of the signing
of the Declaration of Independence
the Jay of this ' century which will be
honored through all time, whatever may
be the destiny in store for the Republic.
When the traditions of sea and land vic
tories are becoming dim, when the grass'
has grown high on the gtaves of fallen
heroes, that day will stand highest in the
scale of national festivities, and the re
formers of the second revolution will
seem to form, in-the vista of .the past, one
group with the patriots of the past. On
that day the people of the States ceased
to be a .slaveholding nation. ..Till then
there had been a gulf fixed between them
and all those Christian nations which had
outgrown the larbarism of holding men
as slaves ; and now the nation has come
orer to the side on which we stand. It is
now entitled to act and speak as a free
nation should. It is now qualified to act
with us, without misgiving or hypocracy,
against the slave trade.' It is no longer
a subject for the skepticism and scorn of
th world, because of the contrast be
tween its profession and its practice.
After a struggle between the best and
the " worst elements of its society a
struggle prolonged through two genera
tions it has abolished slavery on the na
tional territory; and the National Gov
ernment has ceased ;o be a slaveholding
Power. Slavery has sunk to a mere
State institution ; and deprived of nation
aLsanction and support, exposed, as it now
is, to the condemnation of the American
Government, together with all other gov
ernmfnts, it cannot lo;? sustain itself
tinder the scoru and loathing cf human
society. A natioual inuitution.it could
1 assume to defy foreign I'pitiions. As a
"domestic institution," reprobated at
Washington as in London and Paris Us
i doom is plain' and its strength broken.

Caibo, June 8, 1S62.
The reguTar'packet Platte' Valley;. 'the
first boat through from Memphis, arrived
this morning. ...
Our forces are in possession of Mem
phis. .- - - - ... ,
Our flotilla left Fori Pillow at 2 o'clock
Thursday' afternoon, consisting of the
gunboats BentonTflag ship, Cairo, Caron-
delet, St. Louis, Ijouisville, and the rams
Monarch, Switzerland, Lancaster, Queen
of the West, Fulton, Mingo, Sampson
and Hornet.
Finding no obstructions at Fort Ran
dolph, the flotilla passed on, and at eight
o'clock Thursday evening the gunboats
anchored two mils above Memphis, the
rams remaining a short distance above.
A reconnoissance discovered, the enemy's
fleet lying near. Memphis, consisting. of
the following vessels: The Gen. Van
Dorn (flag-ship,) Gen. Price, Gen. Bragg
Gen. Lovell, Jeff. Thompson, Gen. Beau
reguard, Sumter, and Litile Rebel, all
rams, under command of Capt. Ed. Mont
gomery. During; the night the rebels moved
down the river, and at early dawn were
out of sight; but, in about half an hour
were observed coming up, formed in line
of battle. Our gunboats had in the
meantime weighed apchor, and followed
by several rams, moved slowly towards
the rebel fleet, when a shot from the
Little Rebel's long rifled gun fell within
a $hort distance of the gunboat Cairo,
which was iu advance. The Cairo: re
plied with a broadside, and soon the en
gagement became general at along lange.
. The rams had in the meantime ad
vanced, and he rebel boat Beauregard
being some distance m advance was
sought put by the Monarch and Queen of
the West, each striving to be the first to
strike the rebel craft. The Monarch
succeeded in striking the Beauregard
amidship, almost .cutting her . in two.
causing her to fill and sink immediately
in the channel of the river opposite the
city.
' At this junction the ram Little Rebel
made a dash for the Monarch, which
was by this time in the midst of the rebel
fleet, but by a skillful movement of the
pilot of the latter, she dropped out of the
way, and the blow intended for her struck
the rebel boat Gen. Price, taking her
wheel and making it necessary for her to
run ashore, when she sent a shot which
entering the sides of the Gen. Lovell
rendered her unmanageable, and imme
diately after she was run down by the
Queen of the West.
A broadside f rem the Benton took
effect in the sides of the Jeff. Thompson,
and she was run ashore, and soon after
was in flames, burning to the water's
, ydge. Four of the rebel gunboat3 hav
ing been disabled, the remainder of their
fleet retreated down the river, pursued by
our gunboats, firing as the advanced, re-
silting in the capture of the Sumter,
Bragg, and Little Rebel, which had been
abandoned by most of their crews. The
latter wa3 run ashore.
Captain Montgomery and most of his
officers and men succeeded in making
their escape in the woods on the Arkan
sas shore. The Federal ram Lancaster
was struck by . the Beauregard early in
the engagement, slightly disabling the
former. Col. Elliott, in command of the
rams, was struck in the breast by a splin
ter, stunning him temporarly, but he
soon recovered, and remained on d?ck
throughout the action This was the only
casuality on our side.
Our rams were manned by sharpshoot
ers, mostly from Illinois,- who did good
execution, picking off' the enemy's gun
ner's at every opportunity. The rebel
loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, is
heavy,' but has not yet been fully ascer
tained. Our tugs were busily engaged
in picking up the crews of their disabled
boats.
Afierthe return of the gunboats, which
had gone down in pursuit of the rebeli.
Commodore Davis sent a boat from the
flag-ship Benton, with the following note
to the Mayor of the city:

Washi5gtox, June 6.
It appears that about 170 prizes have
been taken by our cruisers, but in conse
quence of the delay of Government offi
cers in condemning the rebel vessels and
cargoes captured, it is impossible to state
the value of the prizes, hence no estimate
can be made of the enormous amount, of
prixe money to be distributed among the
sailors in the naval service.
Some idea, however, raay be formed of
the total by the single case of the Cir
cassion, which arrived at New York a few
days ago? This vessel and cargo- is val
ued at a million and a. half of dollars.
.The sailors who captured her will, prob
ably, receive SI, 300 each. It is said there
are some fifteen vessels, equally as valu
able, now tryieg to run the blockade.
It is said that English speculators in
arms have shipped about 20.000 Enfield
refles to Nassau; where they dispose of
ihem to reb?l agents, who reship them
with the expectation of running me block

been acting a neutrals towards U3 in or
