Colonel Feild, of the First Tennessee, said this was the only place where we actually engaged the enemy. The latter was driven from his guns, pursued across the Wilkinson road, driven from another battery of four guns in reserve and the guns captured, and the brigade then bivouacked on the line from which the enemy was driven, and held it until our forces retired to Shelbyville and Tullahoma, three days after the conflict. The First Tennessee lost Lieut. R. F. James, killed (an officer trusted by Colonel Feild with the performance of duties demanding tact and courage), and 80 men killed and wounded; the Fourth lost Capt. D. P. Skelton, mortally wounded, and Capt. C. Brown, Lieut. John Shane and 40 men wounded.

Not a gun, or stores of any kind, was lost, and Polk's corps, largely composed of Middle and West Tennessee troops, was 400 stronger than when it retired from

n his fall, Clay Kendrick, one of the color-guard, seized the colors, and when his right arm was shattered by a musket ball, he was seen to transfer the flag to his left hand and bravely carry it until the surrender.

His artillery ammunition was greatly reduced, and after dispatching Nixon
