red men, (one whole company being in the rear with prisoners,) succeeded in defeating a brigade of one thousand two hundred chosen cavalry sent by Gen. Buell expressly to take me or drive me out of Tennessee, killing and wounding some one hundred and eighty and taking two hundred prisoners, including the Brigadier-General Commanding, and the greater part of the regimental officers. My loss in both actions amounted to five killed and eighteen wounded, two missing. Among the wounded was Capt. Huffman, who had his arm shattered by a ball whilst leading gallantly on his brave Texan Rangers, a small body of men commanded by Major Gano, of whom I cannot speak too highly, as they have distinguished themselves ever since they joined my command, not only by their bravery, but their good soldier-like conduct. To all my officers and men my best acknowledgments are due; nothing but hard fighting carried them through. To my personal staff I am deeply indebted. Col. St. Leger Granfell, Ac

character, every detail was promptly and faithfully executed. There has been, we dare say, no feat of arms so brilliant or so completely triumphant in the Western department as this; indeed, we doubt if the annals of the war can present another instance of equal daring. The forces engaged in the affair on our side were the Ninth and Second Kentucky infantry, commanded by Col. Thomas H. Hunt, numbering six hundred and eighty men, and the cavalry regiments of Chenault, Cluke, Bennett, and Huffman, with Cobb's Kentucky battery. All told, our forces were about one thousand three hundred. The enemy was the Thirty-ninth brigade of Dumont's division, composed of three regiments, one battalion, a squadron of cavalry, and section of artillery. It was commanded by Col. Abraham B. Moore, of Peru, Lasalle County, Illinois, whose commission, we are authorized to say, is now in possession of Corporal Whelan, company K, Second Kentucky. The attack was made just after sunrise, but instead

oyed thirty thousand dollars' worth of machinery, etc., and all without any loss whatever on my side. In conclusion, I must say a word in praise of the brave men under my command. Often without any food except parched corn, and no shelter from the chilling rains, deprived of sleep, and weary from long night-marches, not a murmur was heard; every hardship was borne with cheerfulness, and every danger met with the utmost coolness. The enrolled militia officers, Captains Salee, Green, and Huffman, all did their duty well. Lieut. Bates, of the Sixty-fourth Illinois, showed himself a brave soldier. Lieut. Warren, of company F, also deserves favorable notice. As to Lieut. Kelso, his reputation as an intrepid soldier and skilful officer is too well known to require any comment at this time. These, Major, I think, are all the facts worthy of notice. I am, very respectfully, your ob't servant, Milton Birch, Captain Commanding Expedition. St. Louis, Dec. 25, 1862. The conduct o

by holding the enemy in check. This brigade went into the action numbering eight hundred and fifty-four, and lost, in killed, wounded, and missing, five hundred and sixty--over one half. We have to mourn the loss of Majors Dale, of the First Texas, and Dingle, of Hampton's legion, two gallant officers, who fell in the thickest of the fight. Also Captains Tompkins and Smith, and Lieutenant Exum, of Hampton's legion; Lieutenants Underwood and Cleaveland, of the Eighteenth Georgia; Lieutenants Huffman, Russell, Waterhouse, Patton, and Thompson, of the First Texas. These brave officers all fell while gallantly leading their small bands on an enemy five times their number. They deserved a better fate than to have been, as they were, sacrificed for the want of proper support. The enemy, besides being permitted to cross the creek with scarcely any resistance to our left, were allowed to place their artillery in position during the night, not only without annoyance, but without our k

uns were turned upon their former owners, who were soon in full retreat. The brigade moved forward and our line was reformed for the third charge. General Pegram rode up to Colonel Hoffman and asked, How are things going? First rate, General; we took that whole battery. No, we didn't take it, but d—me if Buck didn't take it with the Thirteenth! While I was forming the brigade he charged with part of the Thirteenth. General Pegram turned and touched his hat, and then, turning to Colonel Huffman, said, in the presence of the regiment and many of the brigade: If I live to get through this battle, that shall be called Buck's Battery ! Very complimentary, so far as it went, but Phil. Sheridan recaptured that battery the same evening. Our brigade now being in trim, we moved forward, driving everything before us and halting for nothing, until we passed through on the left of Middletown, where we formed with our right on the turnpike at the toll-gate, and where we stayed all day

Particulars of Gen. Morgan's last exploit --Capture of Two Thousand One Hundred Prisoners.--The successful attack by Gen. Morgan, upon Hartsville, Tenn., was one of the most extraordinary feats of the war. The forces engaged in the affair on our side were the 9th and 2d Kentucky infantry, commanded by Col. Thos. H. Hunt, numbering 680 men, and the cavalry regiments of Chensult, Duke, dennett, and Huffman, with Cobb's Kentucky battery. All told, our force was about 1,3 The enemy was the 39th brigade of Dumont's division, composed of three regiments, one battalion, a squadron of cavalry, and a section of artillery. It was commanded by Col. Abraham B Moore, of Peru, Lasalle co., Illinois. The Rebel Banner says: The attack was made just after sunrise; but in stead of surprising the Yankees, they were found strongly posted on the top of a sleep hill, and in perfect time of battle. Our line was formed under the fire of the enemy, but it was done with great precision and perf
