ain: One hour after the reception, and in pursuance of orders from brigade headquarters, I left this camp at half-past 5 o'clock P. M., in command of company A, Lieut. Hart; company C, Capt. Young; company D, Capt. Wort; Ringgold Pennsylvania cavalry, numbering one hundred and fifty men, and one section of Rourke's battery, commandreached the crossing of that road, five miles from Petersburgh. When we arrived within three miles of the crossing, I halted the detachment, and sent forward Lieut. Hart and ten of his men to ascertain whether the enemy had passed the crossing, and he ascertained from a reliable source that the enemy, consisting of from three huion, and caused them to fly into the woods. I then ordered the cavalry to charge, which order was promptly and gallantly executed, particularly by company A, Lieut. Hart. After sixteen of the enemy were captured, being unable to find any more of the enemy, I ordered the cattle to be collected and driven with the greatest possib
the only brigade in the army that was not driven from its position. The honor had been dearly won. Lieut.-Col. Cotton and Capt. Todd, of the Sixth Kentucky; Lieut. Hart, of the Forty-first Ohio; Lieutenant Kesler, of the Ninth Indiana, and Lieut. Payne, of the One Hundred and Tenth Illinois, were killed, and eighteen officers ot Illinois, when it was ordered into position to the rear, which terminated its part in the engagement. The following is a list of casualties: Co. A, First Lieut. C. C. Hart, Commanding. Killed--First Lieut. C. C. Hart; privates Albert McFarland and John M. Waggoner. Wounded--Sergeants Jas. J.

They were composed of the following regiments: Twenty-fourth Texas, dismounted cavalry, Col. Wilkes; Twenty-fifth, same, Colonel Gillespie; Fifteenth, same, Colonel Sweet; Sixth Texas infantry, Colonel Garland, Colonel Taylor's regiment, and Colonel Darnel's. Six of the nine guns in the Fort belonged to Captain Hart's Arkansas battery, three pieces being twenty-pound Parrotts. The Commander-in-Chief of the confederate forces was Brigadier-General Churchill; Captain Ben. Johnson, Adjutant-General, Captain Wolf, Chief Quartermaster, Captain Little and Captain Brown, aids. Brigade commanders were Colonel Deshler, Colonel Garland, and Colonel Portlock. There was also a large number of captains and lieutenants. They will be sent to Cairo this morning. Our loss in the engagement was about one hund
ut. Roop's reserve. Seeing the strength of the enemy's advance-guard greatly outnumbered Lieut. Roop's reserve, I immediately sent company B, Captain Charles Ent, forward also to take position on the left of Lieut. Roop's reserve. A moment's glance at the enemy's force convinced me that the limited force under my command could maintain their lines but a short time against the numbers of the enemy in front. I therefore ordered my last company of reserves, (company A, under command of Second Lieut.

Fisher commanding,) ordering them to reenforce my left by way of the Lewisburgh pike with all their force, excepting one relief of the prison-guards. This order was not obeyed.

Three gunboats — the Diana, Hart, and Queen of the West--are no more. The two former were fired in the Teche by the rebels, to prevent them falling into our hands — the former on Monday, the latter on Tuesday--while the Union gunboats Estella, Calhoun, and Arizona, at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, discovered, attacked and destroyed in Grand Lake the famous iron-clad ram Queen of the West. Three large transports — the Newsboy, Gossamer, and Era No. 2--which were lying at Franklin, were also destroyed by fire, as it was <
