A participator in the fight says he saw only one man of Marks's Regiment in a dying condition, and he was an Indian.
The Regiment was only engaged in pursuit of the vandals.
The Lincolnites numbered 7,000, and were picked men, but th
. Pickett's, Col. Freeman's and Col. Knox Walker's Tennessee regiments were sent over.
The Federals were in a strip of woods, and our men in the open field.
We also had the Watson battery (Louisiana) on that side the river.
In half an hour Tappan's and Wright's regiments were broken and scattered to the winds — soon after we lost Watson's battery.
In half an hour more, Pickett, Walker, and Freeman were whipped and routed too. The engagement was not more than half a mile from the river — everything before them to the very bank of the river; here our men broke to pieces and fled in terror to the river bank.
In going up the river they cowered under the bank and behind trees that had been cut down.--On reaching the river they burnt Tappan's quarters, and captured 19 sick men, and opened fire again upon our boats, sending balls through the Hill, Charm and Prince. --They fired upon the Ingomar coming up at the time, and made her land out of reach on the Kentucky side.

A Furious Fighting Parson.
A Columbus correspondent of the Montgomery Advertiser, describing the battle of Belmont, "gets rather heavily on" Parson Brady.
Pity the good man should have got so very angry:
It would be futile to particularize instances of bravery and desperate courage evinced by our gallant troops on the field.
Let a few suffice.
Parson Brady, of Tappan's regiment, after shooting two of the enemy, seized another by the shoulder, and with one stroke of his bowie cut his throat from ear to ear, and then rushing on the now retreating foe, he exclaimed, "Go to hell, you d — d sons of bitches." The boys tease the Parson very much for this rather unusual manner of dismissing an audience.
