Franklin (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): article 5
Particulars of Van-Dorn's recent victory. A correspondent of the Savannah Republican gives an interesting account of Van Dorn's recent victory near Franklin, Tenn. He left Spring Hill on the 5th instant, with his entire force, except Crosby's brigade, having learned that the enemy were in force this side of Franklin. The letter says: Just as the forces were placed in position Forrest rode up to Van-Dora and expressed doubts about the enemy's approach and the propriety of taking position, but just at this juncture his own pickets on the right commenced skirmishing with a squadron of Yankee cavalry. The skirmishers of the enemy were then visible upon the opposite range of hills, distant about six hundred yards, and our skirmishers were withdrawn to within a hundred yards of our position. The enemy took position very cautions, and commenced marching upon the pike in column, but a few well-directed shots from King's rifled pieces compelled them to file off into the woods an

They were under the command of the senior Colonel Coburn, from Indiana, who says he was compelled to surrender by the cowardly retreat of an Ohio regiment of infantry and three regiments of cavalry and the battery of artillery, which we did not succeed in getting. The regiments capitulated were from Indiana, MIndiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. So soon as the surrender was effected, I rode over every portion of the field and counted our own and the Yankee dead and wounded. The disparity in numbers was astonishing, for everywhere I found four and five dead Yankees to one Confederate. The hill upon the left of the pike, which had been so hotly contested, and from which they drove us back, contained more of the unfortunate than any other portion of the field. Upon it I counted forty of the enemy's slain. Up t

The loss of the enemy I estimate at 110 killed, 300 wounded, and 2,200 prisoners, who surrendered as many fine new Enfield rifles and cartridge boxes. Our own loss is 30 killed and 125 wounded--nearly all in Armstrong's and Whitfield's brigades. Among the killed we mourn Col. Earl, of the 31 Arkansas, one of our most fearless and experienced officers, who fell while leading his, regiment against the enemy in strong position upon the hill.--And the whole command is called upon to mourn the loss of our gallanted officer, Capt. Watson, of Gen. Armstrong's staff, who was instantly killed while leading a charge of one of his regiments. Capt W. is a son of Judge Watson, of Holly Springs, Miss., and leaves a bereaved wife to lament and deplore her loss. Parson Clouch, Chaplain of Jackson's brigade, was also killed while behaving most gallantly.
