of the signal corps, whose corps behaved well Captain Elmer Otis, Fourth regular cavalry, who commanded the second courier line, connected the various headquarters most successfully, and who made a most opportune and brilliant charge on Wheeler's cavalry, routing the brigade and recapturing three hundred of our prisoners. Lieut. Edson, United States ordnance officer, who, during the battle of Wednesday, distributed ammunition under fire of the enemy's batteries, and behaved bravely. Capt. Hubbard, and Lieut. Newberry , who joined my staff on the field, acting as aids, rendered valuable services in carrying orders on the field. Lieut. Byse, Fourth United States cavalry, commanded the escort of the headquarters' train, and distinguished himself with gallantry and efficiency, who not only performed these appropriate duties to my entire satisfaction, and accompanying me everywhere carrying orders through the thickest of the fight, watched while others slept, never weary when duty ca
yours, Abel Smith, Jr., Lieut.-Col. Commanding. We have word that a second expedition is preparing, in which the Zouaves are to take part. There is an excellent state of feeling among the men. They are anxious to see service, and when they do, you may depend that they will render a good account of themselves. The following are the officers of the regiment: Lieut.-Colonel Commanding — Abel Smith, Jr. Major-Gouverneur Carr. Surgeon-James Ferguson. Assistant Surgeon--George C. Hubbard. Acting Adjutant-Lieut. Chas. R. Carville. Quartermaster — Asher M. Ellsworth. Aid-Nathan S. Putnam. Company A.--Captain, Felix Agnus; First Lieutenant, E. Hampton Mulford; Second Lieutenant, Charles A. Walker. Company B.--Captain, Henry W. Hicks, Jr.; First Lieutenant, Edward G. Hoffman; Second Lieutenant, De Forest H. Thomae. Company C.--Captain Wm. W. Stephenson; First Lieutenant, W.

ters, planted a section of artillery on a line with him to his right, and another to the left. Still further to the left he stationed Nim's battery in the road, with orders to act as a reserve. Colonel (Acting Brigadier-General) Birge now advanced in line of battle, with the Thirteenth Connecticut on the left, the One Hundred and Fifty-ninth New-York in the centre, and the Ninety-first New-York on the right. The Twenty-fifth Connecticut, Colonel Bissell, and the Twenty-sixth Maine, Colonel Hubbard, were deployed to advance as skirmishers. While this force was advancing as rapidly as the nature of the heavily ploughed field would permit, an extraordinary fire was kept up by the field artillery on both sides, the rebels having some advantage in position, and they are said to have handled their four guns with admirable skill and rapidity. The two regiments in advance soon came upon a large infantry force of the enemy, and a furious fire of musketry followed. This skirmishing re
illed and fifty wounded. Citizens report one Colonel and several men as having died on the retreat; also a large number of wounded still moving on with the command. We captured, during the engagement, Major Wilson, General Cabell's commissary, wounded, and Captain Jefferson, of Carroll's regiment; also, four sergeants, three corporals, and forty-six privates, a part of them wounded; also not less than fifty horses and one hundred stand of arms, mostly shot-guns. Among their killed are Captain Hubbard of Carroll's regiment, and a captain of bushwhackers. The enemy admit the loss of over two hundred horses, killed, taken, and stampeded. Inclosed please find a rough sketch of the position of forces at nine A. M., when the battle culminated. Every field and line-officer, and nearly every enlisted man fought bravely, and I would not wish to be considered as disparaging any one when I can mention only a few of the many heroic men who sustained so nobly the honor of our flag. Lieut
ation is received as to the names of those who have suffered. We may have none until the entire affair is over, and perhaps it is better that we should not. The following are those we have heard from: killed.--General Chapin, no confirmation as yet, General Nickerson, no confirmation as yet; Colonel Clarke, Sixth Michigan; Colonel Cowles, One Hundred and Twenty-eighth New-York, by a bayonet wound; Colonel Payne, Second Louisiana, white regiment; Colonel----, Thirtieth Massachusetts; Captain Hubbard, on General Weitzel's staff. wounded.--General T. W. Sherman, severely, in the leg — amputation probable; General Neal Dow, slightly, in leg; Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, Second Zouaves, severely, in body. I am informed that General Banks is determined to carry the position by storm, if he loses ten thousand men in doing so. He will have Port Hudson if it can be had, and he will not sit down and wait for it to come to him, but he will go to it. His army are in the highest spirits; th
r Dam, and the other continuing eastward to the Coldwater. Our cavalry force under the old rebel-hunter of Missouri, Major Hubbard, at once pushed out on this road, turning downward along the lake. The infantry followed about a half-hour later. , that we had stumbled upon their rear-guard, posted at the intersection of the roads, to notice our approach. Could Major Hubbard but become aware of the number and immediate presence of the enemy in his rear, and give them battle, while the infan flanks, shouting, and cursing, and threatening with instant butchery, if not at once surrendered; but with the brave Major Hubbard our gallant boys felt confident, and at his command rushed to the brow of the slope, and crouched beneath its shelter Our horses being much exposed, were badly cut up. Finally, our approach had made it prudent for them to retire, and Hubbard's battalion was saved. Five dead and dying rebels were found lingering on the field. How many were carried off, or how
nces, and staff specified in the fifth section of the act approved May twenty-eighth, 1798; and also the allowances described in the sixth section of the act approved August twenty-third, 1842, granting additional rations to certain officers: Provided, that nothing in the bill contained should be construed in any way to affect the rank, pay, or allowances of Winfield Scott, Lieutenant-General by brevet, then on the retired list of the army. Mr. Farnsworth, Mr. Schenck, Mr. Washburne, and Mr. Hubbard advocated the passage of the measure, and Mr. Garfield, Mr. Stevens, and Mr. Boutwell opposed it. Mr. Garfield moved that the bill and amendment be laid upon the table — yeas, nineteen; nays, one hundred and seventeen. Mr. Ross, of Illinois, moved to amend by adding, And that we respectfully recommend the appointment of Major-General U. S. Grant for the position of lieutenant-general; and it was agreed to — yeas, one hundred and eleven; nays, forty-one. In the Senate, on the ninth, Mr.
nel Fyffe's brigade. Several shells were thrown at the enemy's line, which caused its disappearance; it was supposed that they had lain down. One section, Lieutenant Hubbard commanding, was now moved to the hill on the right, whence, also, one or two shells were thrown at detached parties. Colonel Fyffe's brigade was moved to trittenden and Palmer, and Colonel Grose's brigade again came over to our support. About noon the enemy's battery opened with occasional shells, directed at Lieutenant Hubbard's section of artillery on the hill. The enemy's artillery were now seen moving to our left, and soon another battery opened fire upon Lieutenant Hubbard's Lieutenant Hubbard's section. As the enemy's skirmishers were so near that their firing was annoying and dangerous to the artillery, I ordered Lieutenant Livingston to retire and take a position on the hill near the hospital. A few shells were still thrown by the enemy's battery on our left, and occasional ones from an apparently heavy battery acr
