THE NAVAL BATTLEAT FORT PILLOW een Full Particulars of the Engagement. is [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Times.} Over Fort Prttow, May 10, (via Cairo, May vi )—At last the monotony ts broken. “ We have bad a fight, and a glorious one, too. purely naval. with nesrly an equal number of boats on both sides, and have sent the Rebels back, down river, badly crippled. They attacked us this morning. atsix o'clock, and before. eight they were so badly whip that they will never again attempt such a job. Yesterday morning they sent a boat up wi.ha flag of truce, ostensibly to arrange an exch»nge captured at aon mont, but, it now appears, si to ascertain Geduitely the positioa of our feet. Early this morning, as usual, our mortar-boats were towed down to their position for firing, !t belong a point on the Arkansas shore about one mile from the end of Craigshead Point. The gun-boat Cincinnati ran down asa convoy. Searcely had the mortars been moored in their position, when the Rebel ram Louisiana appeared coming around the point, accompanied by four other gunboats. The ram immediately opened fire on the Cincinnati, to which the latter ied with interest. The Rebel boats were all beld in check by the Cincinnati alone, when the rest of the Union fleet got under way and came to her 28 nee. fn the meantime the Rebel ram finding her guns ineffectual against the tron armor of the Cincinnati, approached her with the evident in- tention of running her down. Captain Stembel, of the latter, prepared to meet the assault of the ram by opening his steam batteries and putting them {n readiness for use. Assoon asthe Rebel craft approached within close range, the Cincinnati turned her head abou’, causing the ram to rnn along close beside her, when Captiin Stembel drew bis pistol and very coolly shot the pilot, killing bim instantly; but, a second afterward, a musket ball struck the gal- lant Captain in his left shoulder, inflicting a pain- ful, though not serious, wound. At this time the contest between the two boats ‘was most intensely exciting The crews of each were armed with carbines, cutlasses and boarding pikes, and were discharging volley after volley in quick succession at each other, while the ram was also endeavoring to get ber head about so as to run into, and if possible sink ber antagonist. Just then the steam batteries of the Cincinnat! ‘were opened with terrible effect, beavy volumes of steam and [scalding water into the midst of the rebel crew, placing ell who appeared on deck hors du combat instantly, and causing the craft to withdraw with all haste. In the meantime the rebel fleet had been rein- forced by three other vessels, and among them the new iron cisd gunboat Mallory, lately built at Memphis. These three ran immediately up to tre Cincinnati and engaged ber at once. She withstood the assault most nobly, the shot of the enemy glancing off from the fron plating without causing the slightest damage, while her own guns were raining shot and shell with fearful eflect upon the enemy. Captsin Stembel, though badly wounded, re- mained st his post, and directed every movement with the coolness and deliberation for which he is noted. During this engagement the Mallery approached the Cincinnati with the design of accomplishing that which the ram had fatled in doing. he came tn close proximity the Unton boat St. 3 bore down upon ber, and coming with a full head of steam on, str her amidships, cutting her nearly in two, and causing ber to sink in a very few minutes. Numbers of her crew escaped b clinging to the St. Louis, and others were picked up by the Cincinnati. bt the larger portion went SS the Lord : While tais work was in progress, the other boats of our fleet had engaged the remainder of the Rebel fizet, end 2 most terrific battle wes rag- ing, the like of which the usually peaceful waters of the Mississippi has never fore wi Report tollowed upon report, like the continu- ousrattle of musgetry.

Secarcely bad the excitement caused by this fearful and unlooked for event passed away, when a second report startled all ears, and another rebel boat with itscrew had disappeared. Both vee sels were b’own up by the explosion of shells from our guns in their magezines. All this time our boats continued to pour their deadly rounds into the enemy, crippling such of their craft as were not wholly destroyed, and carrying death crews to hundreds o1 their While themseives uahurt, the erp defied the heaviest missiles of the Rebel guns, their invulnerable armor, or be-pare, Serge repelling both shot and shell with perfect success. No enemy could stand against such extreme and de- structive fire as our boats continued to gt re, while their own guns were imp-tent for mischief, much less in their crippled condition, with three of their eight boats destroyed, could the Rebelg ms'ntain their ground. At twenty micutes = seven they withdrew to the shelter of their batteries. The casualties on our side were scarcely worth mentioning.

Southern Fears asto the Fate of Richmond— Co» fidence in the Merremac—Condition of ths Rebel Capital—High Price of Pro- visions—Close of Business Houses—Large Auction Sales—Col. Corcoran—Defence of the James River—John M. Botts. Richmond papers, to the date of May 7th, have been received here. We condense from them the following interesting summary of Southern News: The fate of Richmond was considered depend- ent on the army entrenched at Yorktown and on the Merrimac in James River. in view of the possible destruction of this vessel, the Examiner declares that Richmond would at onee be ap- Proachable by gunboats, under an attack from which it would be perfectly untenable and inde- fensible by land forces “Experience has shown,’’ adds the same writer, ‘that our numerous batteries on the banks of the river are utterly incapable of beat- ing off theenemy’s boats. Iftwo vessels could run the gauntlet of two formidable forts on the lower Mississippi, and entire miles of batteries on its banks, surely it would be madness to place anv rellance upon similar and, we have no doubt, inferior defences on the James.’ The city itself was in a very bed condition. Eggs were selling for 75 cents a dozen, and butter for $1.50 a pound. Butchers’ meat was held, according to quality, at between 35% and 50 cents per pound; bacon (hog round) 35 cents; common brown sugar 40 cents, and firewood, from country carts, is sold at the rate of ${2 acord. Unbleached cotton is sold at from 25 to ind 40 cents a yard, according to the conscience of the dry-goods man; bleached cotton from 30 to 40 ce: r yard, and often for 623¢ cents a yard; spoel cotton $24 dozen; Irish linen from 75 cents to $1 25 a yard, and domestics at 50 cents a yard. The high price of beef was represented ag in part due to the fact that a julsition had been made for most of the beef le near the city for the use of the army in the peninsula. The Dis pateb, commenting on this theme, observes that— “While the butchers are anxious to make all they can, still, in their case, as well asin that of others, imit must beset to human cupidity. We are told by those who ought to know, that whilst man wants but little here below, he wants that little just as long as he can hold on to {t. It is no less true that ali men are anxions to make their little ‘all’ as large as they conventently can, no matter at whose expense.”” Business houses were closing up throughout Richmond, and all sorts of property was being sold of uction ‘A larger amount of prop- erty,”’ says the Examiner, ‘a greater number of stocks of merchandise, and a greater variety of goods have been sold at auction during the pres- ent week In Richmond than has ever been known during the same time in the hist of the city. The effect, of course, has been to closea greater number of stores of the first cla: heretofore leading houses in their several departments of trade, than wasever known to close ina single week. ‘Colonel Corcoran,” says the same paper. “now confined in prison bere, has been appointed to 2 lucrative government office in New York, his wife to receive his salary during his imprison- ment. We suppose this has been given Corcoran as a sop for his martyrdom in the Lincoln cause.” The defence of the James river was strongly urged. {t must, says one editor, “ be made im- pregaable against any force that the enemy can ring against it. It should be obstructed agai the e of vessels in every possible form which science and experience can suggest, its shores lined with bomb proof batteries.” Job or Botts—so says the Examiner of May 2d—hbas been released on le, on condl- tion that be will return to bis family and make bis business ar mentsto take up his abode atsome place ‘in the interior,’’ to be Indicated by the Confederate government, holding nocom- munication with others than his own family, excepton strictly private business matters. When bis arrangements shall have been completed be is to report himseli to the Secretary of War for orders. Tue W big comments on the loss of ail sesports and announces that the Confederate armies now retire within their second parallel of defence. it then marks out a pretty programme as follows: “We withdraw troops from untenable ie tions; the enemy detaches troops to occupy them We fall back to a kealthier ion; the enemy succeeds to the burning sunsand deadly fevers which guard the coast. We can concentrate our columns with comparatively short marches; the enemy must advance with weakened columns and increased labor. We withdraw from the reach of their fieet, scarcely less formidable than their army, and then compelthe enemy to cope with us where his oe advantages are reduced nearer to uality. “Shoald we gain a victory near Richmond or at Corinth, it wiil be impossible that the enemy sould fall back to his gunboats in time to escape the consequences of defeat. We shall in sucha case gain a great deal that has heretofore been lost by joining battle near water lines. We have fought theenemy on his own ground(!) let him now meet us on ours. Let him conquer aces of the Confederacy. Lethim keep tos together to avo:d surprise, and he can intict comparatively littie injury except upon the track of bia progress.
