C. C. Marsh, Colonel Twentieth Illinois Volunteers To Col. J. B. Plummer, Commanding. Colonel Carlin's report. Headquarters 38TH Illinois Volunteers, Fredericktown, Mo., Oct. 23, 1861.

Regretting my inability to communicate more briefly a faithful detail of the events of the day, I have the honor to remain, with much respect, yo
