5.-fight near Waynesville, Mo.
Rolla, Mo., November 3, 1863. Editors Missouri Democrat:
Sirs: There have been many accounts of unequal fights published during this war,but if there is any that will beat the following, I should like to hear of it:
Lieutenant C. C. Troyford, of company H, Fifth Missouri militia cavalry, while on a scout with seven men of his company, was attacked in a house about eighteen miles south of Waynesville by two hundred and fifty rebels, under Colonel Love; the boys fought three hours against this overwhelming force, when their ammunition was exhausted.
The rebels crept up and set fire to the house; the boys then came out, and threw down their revolvers and surrendered.
The rebels lost five killed, seven wounded, and some that could not be counted by the Lieutenant.
Also, seven horses were killed.
Among the mortally wounded is Colonel Tucker, alias Bent Woods, the notorious guerrilla and stage-robber.
Not one of our boys was wounded in

Major-General Ord's report.
headquarters Thirteenth army corps, New-Orleans, La., January 18, 1864. Brigadier-General L. Thomas, Adjutant General U. S. A., Washington, D. C.:
sir: I have the honor to inclose sub-reports, just received, of the affair at Bayou Bourbeaux, of November third, 1863.
Disparaging remarks having appeared in a large part of the public newspapers, upon the management of this affair, by Major-General Washburn, I beg to call attention to the report of that officer, to that of General Burbridge, Colonel Guppy, Twenty-third Wisconsin volunteers, and the order of march of Major-General Franklin, by which it will be seen that General Washburne was at his prescribed post, with his command, on the morning of the attack, and that it was owing to his zeal and diligence that the rear-guard, when attacked, were reinforced promptly, and the enemy driven away discomfited.
