Having seen so many exaggerated reports of our defence against the band of thieves headed by John Morgan, who made an attack upon our little band of patriots last Thursday, with a force of six to one, I feel somewhat disposed to make a few corrections. As I was present during the entire battle, I feel that I am pretty well posted. There was a simultaneous attack from every street and lane leading into the town. We were fired upon with shot and shell on the west, and musketry fro

All the enemy's transports and all the vessels of war of the lower fleet, except a sloop-of-war, have gotten up steam, and are off to escape from the Arkansas. (Signed) Earl Van Dorn, Major-General Commanding. General Cooper's order. War Department, Adjutant and Inspector General's office, Richmond, July 22, 1862.

By their gallantry and good conduct they have not only saved the city intrusted to them, but they have shown that bombardments of cities, if bravely resisted, achieve nothing for the enemy, and only serve to unveil his malice and the hyp
