The horse which was wounded yesterday is the same that he rode at Dug Spring, and now carries fourteen balls received on that occasion.

Col. Cockerill became separated from Col. Sullivan and myself, and was afterward engaged with part of his command at McClernand's camp. Col.

Augur and staff were courteously entertained by Mr. J. B. Ficklen, a wealthy citizen of Falmouth, whose loyalty had rendered him obnoxious to the rebels. Private Haslam, of the Ira Harris light cavalry, Acting Orderly for Gen. Augur, was shot by our own pickets while carrying an order from the General to Col. Sullivan.

There is no sign of fortifications. The enemy's forces, composed of one regiment of infantry, and one of cavalry, and a battery of arti
