(Correspondence of the Ctncinnatt Commercial.} Usitep Srares Firacsair Benton, Miss. River. 3 Miles above Island No. 10, Thursday, Mareh 20—12 m., 1862. Our flagship has not changed position durio the past forty-eight hours. The Cincinnati and St. Louis, after coaling yesterday, came oat into the stream alongside the Benton, ready for any emergency. The Benton and Mound City—the latter the lowest down and lying on the Missouri side a: the point— shelled the enemy's upper battery all day, at long range—2; miles—while the attention of the mortars was likewise directed to the same locality. With the aid of the glass it has been ascertained that the enemy have six batteries in sight along the Kentucky shore, above the of Island No. 10, mounting 2 large num- ber of heavy guns—forty-nine of which have been counted. At 11.45 a. m. yesterday the enemy opened on us from their upper battery, without effect. From 1.30 to 3 p. m. they likewise engaged us from the big guns on the head of the island, which is out ht from where we lay—being the growth of ‘cotton woed on the Missouri river shore points. Their shots from the island battery reaching us, several fell close, all around, the gunboats Mound City, Carondelet and Pittsburg. We were on the Missouri shore at the time, on the trans- port Wilson, lying just above, and cbserved th t the sbot from this battery reached around and beyond us, coming clors enough to cause the spendy removal to a point higher up. The expedition, consisting of -wo steam tugs, with stores and fuel for six dsys, which left yester- » day morning to explore a channel across through the sloughs and cverflowed bottoms on the Missouri shore to New Madrid, after work- ing all day, and only fir ‘ing 2; feet of water {the tugs drawing 5} and 6 feet), returned to the Benton, the expedition being a failure, of course. A canoe or skiff can make it, but it is out of the question with a steamboat or tug There is a fair land route, distance five miles, across to New Madrid, when the Mississippi is within its natural banks—one which General Pope could mare’ his army across. he country on both shores is overflowed for miles, except in the rear of the enemy’s bat- teriesin front of us. This is the only high land, the strip being from five to eleven miies ingwidth, and only five miles across froin the head of [sland 10 to Tiptonville, which is twen- ty-six miles by water. The enemy’s force on i dry land is reperted to be 11,1 A messenger just arrived fre Col. Buford reports that severe fire from our batteri ant. four of the enemy's ¢ bound down, succeeded in running the blockade. On Tuesday. one of the number, the fifth beat, was sunk.

Lest night, between 9 ar eral volleys of musketry vicinity of the ordnance boa and Great Western, on the } miles above us. ‘the Con: 4 soon opened out and shelled the woods in that vicinity. From the noise in the immediate cotton wood, it was supposed the enemy designed an attack ot our ammunition boats; hence the algrm, which proved to be stray horses and mules wading through the timber, hunting dry land Bright, glaring lights, indicating the move- ments of Rebel transports, were visible from 10 toi2 p. m., on the Kentucky shore, from the head of the island up to the upper bat- tery. Tae Benton shelled the shores, but with what effect we have not learned. We have it from a reliable source that our mortars have scattered their camps, and knozked down several houses—one reported to be Gen. Polk’s headquarters—on the head of many lives were lost, as the shells were seen by our pickets to burst in and direstly over their camp. A messenger, who left Hickman yesterday, reporta the enemy ‘} (0 strong, three miles back of that point and nine miles this side of Union City. heir cavalry scouts have also appeared on the heights back of town, await- ing an opportunity to erect a battery on the bluffs just back of Hickman, and commanding the river. From some unknown cause, Col Buford did not leave any force whatever at Hickman, as we came down on Saturday last. The loyal citizens have asked Flag Officer Foote and Col. Buford for protection. One of the gunboats will probably return and lay off in the river at Hickman, in order to prevent the erection of batteries. A Lieutenant and several men, from Buford’s 27th Mlinois Regiment, yesterday, in a skiff, worked through the swamp, (being hidden in the cotton-wood.) to a point within two hun- dred yards of the upper fort. They only report one gun—a whopper—left there. This morning we can see three mounted at the same paee, invieating that tbe Lieutenant was mistaken. THE SPLENDID SCENES OF THE BOMBARDMENT. [ Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat. } Occasionally pur solid shot struck the para- pet plumply, and an immense column of dirt threwn into the air would show the execution done. Now and them the shel! exploded di- rectly over the fort guns, and the pieces could bé seen splashing the water in every direction. Amidst it all I could seo the rebels running to and fro on the parapet, loading their guns, carrying off killed or wounded, and in aii be- having with the most spirited bravery. Two or three guns were dismounted, and some heavy breaches made in their works, but they struggled manfully to repair the damages, ectly defiant, as it seemed, of the fearful perils which surrounded them. * * * “Good for Kilty !"’ shouts Capt. Walke, of the Carondolet, as one of the rifled shots of the’| Moand City struck just in the fort and cast up an immense cloud of reddish-looking dirt “ Crash’’ goes a 10-inch shell from the stern of the Carondolet, just over which I am stand- ing, the ship trembling in every timber at the recoil, the spectator involuntarily dodging the shock the sulphurous smoke flying back in his face, and for the moment blinding his sight, and the huge missile roaring in the air like the sound of a distant railroad train, coursing at lightning speed. We watch its fight with in- tense interest. It falls inthe river in front of the parapet, or perhaps passes over inw the sari behind, or werely plunges directiy into the oarthworks. Tle seawon on deck clap their hands and dance wildly around. ‘tivod boy,”’ to the gunner. “‘tivod morning to you,” tothe Kebels. “ Put that in your pocket and and never mind the change.’ * Look at ‘em runain’,’ shoutsa fellow with a glass at bis eye. “I sec their fing yet,’’ yells another. ‘Now they're loadin’ their big ’un. Watch out! there she goes.’’ “ Get out of the way, gentlemen,” shouts the captain. ‘-J.ct us pay due respect to that fel- low.

The next you see of the shell, a beautiful cloud of smoke bursts into sight, caused by the explo- sion. Imagine ten of these mortars thundering at once, the air filled with smoke clouds, the gun- boats belching out destruction and completely hidden from sight in whirls of smoke, the shell screaming through the air with an un- earthly sound, and the distant guns of the en- emy sending their shot and shell above and around us, dashing the water up in glistening columns and jets of spray, and you have the sublime poetry of war. RELEL COMMUKICATION ENTIRELY CUT OFF. Our dispatches this morning announce that Gen. Pope has erected batteries commanding the river, at Riddle’s Point, on the Missouri shore, below Point Pleasant. This gives the Federal troops command ot the river down to the overflowed land on the Tennessee shore, and completely cuts off the retreat of the Rebel troops at Island No. 10, even if they. evacuate their works @nd march ecross the neck of land to the river below Point Pleasant. —_——. PRENTICEANA. The rebels say that if their armies are de- feated, they will take themselves in squads to the mountains. We wonder how rebel rquads would fare among the loyal mountaineers of Kentusky and Tennessee. No better than bears, wolves, and wild cats gertainly. The Southern Congress still express a po’r opinion uf the United Siates armies. Ah wait, gentlemen, and see how they will strike you by and by. It13 probable that the American Eagle will live long enough to become both a grey eagle and bald eagle. Gen. Price - ever stays long in any one place. We suppose t he may be called a sori of military squat er. The Southe: 1 Confederacy is said to be getting very we tk im consequence of too many evacuations. It was a genuine job that the Monitor did, though the balls she used were forged. It seems singular that the fierce flame jn the bosoms of some of our charming rebel women does not set their cotton on fire. The rebels have made a great many infernal machines that won't explode. Their rebellion is an infernal machine thr t will Curtis has driven Price out of Missouri and is driving him out of Arkansas. No blame is attached to the driver.” The rebels are everywhere falling back from their lines.

The rebels are all getting weak in the knees The rebels are everywhere fleeing in a panic. The devil take the hindmost—and the fore- most The way to break the back of the rebellion is to break the backs or heads of the rebels. Whilst Gen. McClellan is pressing on against the enemy, the New York Tribune is violently assailing bim from behind. It seems almost.a pity that he can’t turn, and, at pointblank distance, give the Tribune office a shell from one of the heavy mortars he is taking against the traitors in his front. to A Ricn Aprarr.—A Man Drews ona City Ferm for a Wije.—A few days since a respec- table business firm on Water street received a letter from a customer near Youngstown, en- closing an order for—a Wife! The customer was rich, middle-aged, a Dutehman and a widower. Ie said he wanted a wife tight off, and had no time to look up one for himself, but should be in town in the course of a day or two to marry the woman which he depend- ed on his city friends having ready for him. Such an order rather tcok the merchants aback, but the man was too good a customer to disoblige. As they had no supply of the article on hand, for sale, one of the firm went out to hunt it up, and at an Intelligence office got track of a girl who could speak German and English, was tolerable good-looking, aud very much wanted to find a husband. A bar- gain was struck. The Dutchman came in yesterday, found the article ready for him, ap- proved of it, got married, and took hiscurious purcbase home with him. We did not learn whether the firm charged a special fee, or a per centage commission.on the market value of the article —Cleveland Herald. ARRIAGES!
