on the field. We remained some half-hour, until we received orders to fall back to the town, which was quietly accomplished without further loss. On our return we halted at the railroad, and found that our wounded, under the care of Assistant-Surgeon Sullivan, assisted by Chaplain Jones and the members of the band, had been removed and placed under the shelter of the hill, in rear of the railroad.

Sullivan's staff, ordered Colonel Hawkins, of the Second West-Tennessee cavalry, with all his effectigement, was repulsed, with a loss of some men and two pieces of artillery. The same day, General Sullivan telegraphed to know what my available force was at Trenton. I replied that I had about five than sufficient to hold the place, if attacked.
