ack by DuBois's battery. By this hour (8 o'clock) Sigel had attacked on the rear and had driven Churchill's infantry and Greer's and Major's cavalry out of their camps. McCulloch now gathered up part of the 3d Louisiana and routed Sigel's troops, eid's and Bledsoe's batteries. Woodruff's battery had from the start chiefly engaged Totten; and now Churchill, and next Greer's and Carroll's cavalry, and afterward Gratiot's regiment (of Pearce's brigade) were conducted to the aid of Price, raising his force to 4239, exclusive of Greer and Carroll, who had been quickly repulsed by Totten; Lyon's being as above, 3550, exclusive of 220 of Plummer's and 350 of the Mounted Reserve. General Lyon was killed at 10:30. just as Pearce's fresh regimesiana and McIntosh's Arkansas regiment, and, farther south, Pearce's brigade and two batteries, while other troops, under Greer, Churchill, and Major, were in the valley along the Fayetteville road, holding the extreme of the Confederate position.

this fight, have had a tendency to obscure that just recognition which the Arkansas troops so nobly earned in this, one of the first great battles of our civil war. The ninth day of August, 1861, found the Confederate army under General Ben. McCulloch, camped on Wilson's Creek, ten miles south of Springfield, in south-west Missouri. It consisted of a Louisiana regiment under Colonel Louis Hebert (a well-drilled and well-equipped organization, chiefly from the north part of the State); Greer's Texas regiment (mounted); Churchill's Arkansas cavalry, and McIntosh's battalion of Arkansas mounted rifles (Lieutenant-Colonel Embry), under the immediate charge of the commanding general; General Price's command of Missouri State Guards, with Bledsoe's and Guibor's batteries, and my three regiments of Arkansas infantry, with Woodruff's and Reid's batteries. More than half the Missourians were mounted, and but few of the troops in the whole command were well armed. The army numbered in

o-thirds of it reached the wing under Price, near Elkhorn Tavern. Of McCulloch's column, Drew retreated to the south-west toward Bentonville. Watie, Welch, and Greer joined Van Dorn in the night, but Watie retreated to Bentonville during the next day's fight. Pike himself remained. Greer, who succeeded McCulloch in command ofGreer, who succeeded McCulloch in command of the wing, moved with the remainder of the force and joined Van Dorn, taking position on the left, as shown on the map, page 322.-editors. Though a great advantage was gained on our side by the death or capture of those leaders, the principal cause of our success was rather the quick rallying and the excellent manoeuvring of Os the left wing of the enemy and forced it to leave the field. The army of Van Dorn and Price, including about two-thirds of McCulloch's troops under Churchill and Greer, and one-third of Pike's Indian Brigade, all of whom had joined Price during the night, were now in precipitate retreat in all directions, pursued by the First and

ief at Chustenahlah, December 26, 1861, and, after a fierce battle, completely defeated, them. In his report he said: The South Kansas-Texas regiment, led by their gallant officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Lane and Major Chilton, breasted itself for the highest point of the hill, and rushed over its rugged side with the insatiable force of a tornado and swept everything before it. In the following March this regiment was again engaged in the fierce battle of Pea Ridge, in northern Arkansas. Colonel Greer, again commanding the brigade, in his official report complimented Lieutenant-Colonel Lane upon his gallant conduct and bearing throughout the whole engagement. On the east side of the Mississippi, while under the command of General Beauregard, a little affair in which Colonel Lane was engaged was made the subject of a special order. This happened just before the evacuation of Corinth, and the following is the notice it received from General Beauregard: The general commanding takes gr

Another account of the battle of Oak hill. --The Memphis Appeal publishes the following extract of a letter from Gen. E. Greer, of Mississippi, descriptive of the battle near Springfield, Mo.: I think that it was the hardest fought battle that ever occurred on this continent. Lyon had about ten or eleven thousand of the best organized, the best drilled, best disciplined and best armed troops now engaged in this war. He selected his position well in front, while Siegel steadily stole up in our rear.--Soon the fight opened all around us. The grape, canister, ball and shell fell thick and fast.--My regiment kept their horses saddled all night and slept on their arms, when the ball opened in our rear, and the hissing shot and bursting shell came rushing over and around us. I ordered my command to mount, and tried to cross a large creek in our rear, between us and the enemy, in order to charge their battery, but the road was completely blocked up with wagons. Then I was order
