killed in the fight; and on the other side, the baggage of the artillerymen, of the two guns of the Second Iowa battery that are with Lee, was thrown just as they threw it down when the enemy was first seen. The rebels soon retreated with a loss of six killed, and the artillery and cavalry were far ahead of us in pursuit. During the evening, until quite dark, we could occasionally hear the faint report of their guns as they continued to drive the enemy back along the road toward the Tallahatchie River. Colonel Lee, with his brigade of cavalry and two ten-pound Parrott guns, was far in the advance ever since we left Holly Springs, and his advance was one continued skirmish along the whole distance from Holly Springs to where he now is, within two miles of the Tallahatchie. The country through which the road runs to this place is of the same character that it is in Tennessee, long, undulating swells of land, densely wooded, with beech and oak. From the sum mit of each of these s

I broke camp at daylight on Friday, and marched thirty-five miles on that day to the west bank of the Tallahatchie River, just below its junction with the Coldwater.

The next day, five of them, very seriously wounded, were found in houses by the road-side, and the negroes reported that they had three killed during the engagement. I encamped for the night on the banks of Tallahatchie River. The river at this point is deep and sluggish, and is about one hundred and twenty yards across. We here found a ferry, with one ferry-boat forty or fifty feet in length. It was my intention to bridge the river during the night, and for

Chicago Tribune account. Helen, Ark., March 19. while steaming down the Coldwater, we passed large quantities of cotton and many fragments of a steamboat. About two hundred miles from here, and about ten miles above the mouth of the Tallahatchie, we found our boys, General Ross's division, attended by gunboats and transports, at a place called Greenwood Bay. We found we had now reached debatable ground. We here learned the cause of there being so much cotton afloat. A large cottoed to be upward of three thousand bales, was abandoned to the flames. About three miles below our troops, the rebels had built a fort, and placed a raft in the river. The fort is in a very strong position, in the neck of a bend made by the Tallahatchie and Yazoo rivers. The fort is unapproachable by the troops, on account of the overflow of the rivers, and the contest thus far has been a duel of cannon. On the eleventh, the Chillicothe was ordered to engage the rebels, and her appearance
