s whole force took to instant flight, abandoning five of the six guns and throwing themselves for safety into the bushes which lined both sides of the Fayetteville road. Here they got separated; Sigel and Salomon, with about 200 of the Germans, and Carr's company of United States cavalry, tried to make their way back to Springfield by the same route they came, but they were set upon by Lieutenant-Colonel Major, with some mounted Missourians and Texans; and the Germans, being abandoned by Captain Carr, who made good his escape, were nearly all either killed, wounded, or made prisoners. Sigel, himself, got into Springfield with one man only. Another part of his column made its way to Little York, and the other to Springfield. Lyon, finding that his men were giving way, brought forward a section of Totten's batters with a strong support to the right and front of his own line, and enfiladed the Confederates at 200 yards, Totten and Gordon Granger helping to work the guns.

was engaged from the front. When Price's division ascended to the plateau of Pea ridge, there ensued an artillery duel of more than an hour's duration, between the batteries of Captains Wade and Clark, and the enemy's batteries commanded by Colonel Carr. The guns of the enemy first ceased firing. Gates' Missouri cavalry charged the position occupied by the batteries, but was repulsed; then, dismounting, went into line under General Little. The enemy charged Little's brigade twice and were hurls screaming shells, which bursting scatter death among the Confederates. But on they press, as the enemy falls back stubbornly into a wood across the field, resolving to retire no further. Now the Confederates charge the wood. The lines of Carr cannot stand; they retire, as Colonel Little said, compelled to seek refuge in the obscurity of the forest. Col. Henry Little's report is the story of the action of his brigade of Missouri volunteers. If the whole battle could be described as

skirmish between Hicks' men and a detachment of Federals; and on the 27th, at West Point, the enemy's cavalry was met and repulsed by a body of Confederates, after a skirmish of an hour. This was followed by a skirmish at Cache river bridge, on the 28th. On the 2d of June, Colonel Brackett, Ninth Illinois cavalry, retreated from his camp at Jacksonport upon the approach up White river of Commander Joseph Fry, of the old navy, with the Confederate gunboat Maurepas. On the 27th of May, General Carr reported a severe skirmish by Confederates with the escort of one of his forage trains, and added: Men of mine, who were with the Germans today foraging, report great excesses on their part, going into the private apartments of ladies and opening trunks and drawers and ransacking everything and taking away what they wanted. If these excesses are permitted, we cannot wonder at guerrilla warfare. Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, says, in his recent Story of the Revolution, of the e

cooperation with Banks' Red river expedition; but General Grant, who had lately come into command of the United States armies, instructed him to make a real move from Arkansas. General Banks left New Orleans to lead the expedition up the Red river March 22d, and on the next day Steele started out from Little Rock toward Arkadelphia. Leaving a force of 2,500 at Pine Bluff, under Col. Powell Clayton, which cooperated with him from that point, he took Salomon's infantry division, 5,127 strong, Carr's cavalry division, 3,428, and 30 pieces of artillery. On the march, April 9th, he was joined by Gen. John M. Thayer, from Fort Smith, with about 5,000 infantry and cavalry. Price's infantry division, reported as about 5,000 present for duty, was ordered to Louisiana to reinforce Taylor, and Fagan's brigade was soon called from Camden to the same field. Thus Price was left for the time with only the cavalry of Marmaduke's division—Greene's and Shelby's Missouri brigades and Cabell's Arka

tacked by Federal troops of all arms, landed from eleven transports convoyed by three more gunboats. He gave them a running fight June 27th, and quietly crossed Bayou De View, where he was safe from attack, and took rest. He reported: The loss of the Federals in the two days fighting can safely be put down at 250 killed and wounded; 30 will cover my entire loss, but the most of these can never be replaced in this world. Among my wounded, I am sorry to mention the brave Colonel Shanks. General Carr, the Federal commander, reported his loss at 1 killed and 16 wounded. About the same date of his order to Shelby, General Price directed General Marmaduke, with his division of cavalry and artillery, to scout the west bank of the Mississippi, from the mouth of the Arkansas down to Louisiana. General Marmaduke, at the head of his brigade, Pratt's battery, and a detachment of Monroe's regiment from Cabell's brigade, entered Chicot county and fought and defeated a Federal force at Lake C

It has been said that there were forty. odd preachers, of all Protestant denominations, in the regiment. The colonel was a preacher, as was also the major, and many of the company officers were preachers. Notwithstanding it contained so many men of the cloth, it was a fighting regiment, and some of its officers, notably its last lieutenant-colonel (Dunlop), were as intrepid and gallant as any knight of chivalry. The regiment was at the battle of Belmont, Mo., was retained at Bowl
