d been posted three miles east of Capt. Templeton, with instructions to report to me any movement of the enemy on the left flank, came on and reported a column of two thousand troops marching in this direction, with the evident intention of cutting off Capt. Templeton and Major Christopher. I immediately sent orders for the entire force to fall back on the main force, which they did in good order, bringing off their wounded — having two men killed, one taken prisoner, and three wounded. Privates Kent and Butler killed, of Company F, Capt. White; F. Spooner of the same company was taken prisoner. The wounded are Corporal Clark and private Richards--both seriously, Clark having been hit by four balls. Both will recover, but Richards has had his leg amputated. Private Hovey is slightly wounded; all of Co. D of my regiment. At this time you arrived on the ground and took command. Let me say that officers and men all did their duty, and I must be allowed to commend to your notice S

When I heard at Cienfuegos, on the south side of Cuba, of these commissioners having landed on the Island of Cuba, and that they were at the Havana, and would depart in the English steamer of the 7th November, I determined to intercept them, and carefully examined all the authorities on international law to which I had access, viz.: Kent, Wheaton, and Vattel, beside various decisions of Sir William Scott, and other judges of the admiralty court of Great Britain, which bore upon the rights of neutrals and their responsibilities.

bout fifteen slightly wounded. The loss of the enemy, as far as I could ascertain, was twenty-one killed and over one hundred wounded. Forty of the wounded were left on the field and in the church. Eight of these have since died, and I was told by Dr. Brown, who was called to attend the wounded, that there would but very few of the forty recover, their wounds being nearly all mortal. Among the wounded was Major Breckinridge and Adjutant Henderson. An hour after the battle Adjutant Henderson came in with a flag of truce, and asked the privilege of burying their dead and attending to their wounded. This was granted by Gen. Prentiss. The enemy were commended by Col. Dorsey, Lieut.-Col. Kent, and Major Breckinridge.

After attending to our wounded, we began to return to Sturgeon, which we reached at nine o'clock the same night.--Hannibal (Mo.) Messenger.
