No. 1.-report of Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, U. S. Army.
Fort Henry, March 13, 1862.
Learning that rebel troops had assembled at Paris for the purpose of enforcing conscription orders of Governor Harris, I sent night before last a portion of Curtis' Horse, Fifty-second Indiana, and Bulliss' battery.
[17]
The enemy were driven from their works, situated about a mile and a half beyond the town, with the loss of probably 100 killed and wounded. Our loss was Captain Bulliss and 4 men killed and 5 men wounded.
We have taken 8 prisoners. I am now engaged in sending more troops to the west bank of the river.
The enemy are in force at Humboldt and might re-enforce their Paris troops in one day.
