ere afterward relieved by General Stanley's division. Apart from the strength of the enemy's lines, and the numerous obstacles which they had accumulated in front of their works, our want of success is in a great degree to be attributed to the thickets and undergrowth, which effectually broke up the formation of our columns and deprived that formation of the momentum which was expected of it. Beside the enemy's musketry our troops were exp9sed to a heavy fire of canister and case-shot. Colonel Miller, Thirty-sixth Illinois, was mortally wounded; Lieutenant-Colonel Chandler, Eighty-eighth Illinois, was killed; Lieutenant-Colonel Kerr, Seventy-fourth Illinois, after receiving a mortal wound, still led his men to the foot of the works, where he was taken prisoner. The loss of the division in the assault was 654 killed and wounded. It is no injustice to the claims of others to state that General Kimball, commanding First Brigade; Colonel Bradley, commanding Fiftyfirst Illinois; Colonel

ion, under a most terrific fire from the enemy. My loss in this action was 194 killed, wounded, and missing, nearly all of whom were from the Seventyfourth, Eighty-eighth, and Forty-fourth Illinois Regiments, and neither of which numbered 160 men. The loss of officers in my command in this action was in remarkable disproportion to that of enlisted men, being one to six. Lieutenant-Colonel Chandler, of the Eighty-eighth Illinois Infantry, a most brave, and worthy officer, was killed, and Colonel Miller, Thirty-sixth Illinois Infantry, and Lieutenant-Colonel Kerr, who was captured, were wounded, and have since died. Many of my dead and wounded were between the enemy's abatis and their works, and were left there until the evening of the 28th, when they were recovered through an arrangement made for that purpose by Major Sabin, of the Forty-fourth Illinois Infantry, my brigade officer of the day, and Lieutenant-Colonel Martin, of Arkansas, the officer of the day for the enemy in our fron

Miller," on his arrest, gave the name of John Shirley. He came to this city a member of the N. O. Zouaves, and was a companion of Bill McDonald before that individual was sent to the State's prison.

Smith, of this city, lately acquitted by the Hastings Court of relieving a Mr. Gardnerluding a pistol Bash presented appearances indicative of guilt.

Sent on for trial. --Two men, called John T. Smith and S. Miller, alias Julius Shirley, were brought before the Mayor yesterday, charged with robbing John W. Graveley, a boarder at the Columbian Hotel, on Monday night, of $100 in bank notes and a gold watch. Mr. Graveley appeared as a witness and identified his funds, part of which consisted of three $20 Confederate Treasury notes, and his watch. The manner of the robbery was indicated in yesterday's paper — the parties as pertaining the fact of Mr. Graveley's arrival and calling for a bed in the same room. The proof being very direct, the parties were sent to jail to be examined before a called Court of Hustings next Monday. Shirley came originally from Vicksburg.
