First Lieut. Nesbit Comly, commanding company F, was stunned by a blow on the head, but joined again in the fight almost immediately. Lieut. John W. Browning, commanding company G, was wounded three times before leaving the field. Capt. Oscar L. Jackson, company H, a young officer of great promise, was severely, and, it is feared, mortally wounded. He held his company in perfect order until two thirds of his men were killed and wounded. First Lieutenant Wm. Cornell, commanding compan being twenty thousand strong; Price's constituting the left wing, and Lovell's small division. Readers are probably familiar with the field. If not, a brief glance at the map will give them all the geographical data they require — Bolivar and Jackson being kept in view as adjuncts of the great drama. The eyes of the army --as Gen. Rosecrans sharply styles cavalry — were open, and the General was apprised of their approach. Gen. Davies's division and other troops were sent out the Chewal
ed in the leg, but refused to go to the rear until the fight was over and the victory won. He displayed rare gallantry and ability. Capt. George W. Fitzsimmons, and Lieut. Wm. H. Cherry, company E, were both wounded, but fought bravely to the end. First Lieut. Nesbit Comly, commanding company F, was stunned by a blow on the head, but joined again in the fight almost immediately. Lieut. John W. Browning, commanding company G, was wounded three times before leaving the field. Capt. Oscar L. Jackson, company H, a young officer of great promise, was severely, and, it is feared, mortally wounded. He held his company in perfect order until two thirds of his men were killed and wounded. First Lieutenant Wm. Cornell, commanding company I, was perfectly cool, and exhibited the finest qualities of an officer during the entire day. First Lieut. James A. Gilmore, of same company, wounded in the hip, but, insisted that the men more severely wounded should be cared for first. His c

Lovell's division overtook the forces of Price again at Hickory Flats, about eighteen miles from this place, thence to this point, the enemy having stopped at Ripley. I have omitted in the proper place to mention the fine cavalry force under Col. Jackson, belonging to Lovell's division. They performed every duty assigned them with promptness and energy, and deserve a place in the page when the history of the fight is written. Of the loss of our gallant little army, I am unable to speak positively. The loss in Gen. Lovell's division, killed and wounded, is three hundred and eighty. Men never fought more gallantly, nor more willingly, and I am pleased to say that as far as my observation extends, old prejudices among them have been ef
y heavy, including several valuable officers. Generals Jackson and Terrell, I regret to say, are among the nued to march upon Frankfort. The Tenth division, Gen. Jackson commanding, was entitled to the advance, but beiCampbell, my Assistant Adjutant-General, to post Gen. Jackson's two brigades on a commanding piece of ground, Beverly D. Williams, Assistant Quartermaster on Gen. Jackson's staff, and also by Col. L. A. Harris, commandindred yards of Chaplin River. I then sent for Generals Jackson and Terrell, showed them the water, marked thefierce onset being made on Terrell's brigade and Gen. Jackson being killed at the first fire, this brigade in usseau had present on the field seven thousand men, Jackson five thousand five hundred. The brigade of Goodingau; also, to those of the Adjutant-Generals of Generals Jackson and Terrell, and Col. Webster. To my personalis called upon to mourn the loss of such spirits as Jackson, Terrell, Webster, Jewett, Campbell, Berryhill, Her
