omplete history which it would otherwise be my pleasure to give. We occupy materially the same ground as on the day after the fight. A portion of the battle- field is in possession of the enemy; a portion we still hold. The Federals are busy in reorganizing, and we, too, are rapidly strengthening our position, preparatory to another fight, which is likely to ensue within a month. Reconnoitering parties in force occasionally come towards our lines, but the presence of John Morgan and Forrest's cavalry acts as a check, and nothing is either gained or lost. Our wounded — at least as many as can be safely moved — have been sent away, and Corinth presents much the same aspect as before the battle. I remarked in a preceding letter that most of our wounds were in the extremities, and many of our killed were shot in the head. This is accounted for by the fact that being a woody country, our troops frequently took shelter behind trees, Indian style, and thus protected the body.
