ine of battle swayed like a pendulum. The issue of the strife seemed doubtful, when the Eighteenth Indiana, who had been ordered to attack the Confederate flank and rear, performed the duty so vigorously with ball and bayonet that they drove them from that part of the field, strewed it with the dead and wounded bodies of Texans and Indians, and recaptured the two cannon which, amid the shouts of the victors, were instantly trained upon their foe. That regiment and the Twenty-second (Colonel H. D. Washburn), from the same State, were conspicuous for their gallantry on the occasion. The latter had engaged a large force of Arkansas troops and Indians, and put them to flight. The Confederates had now become fugitives in turn. In their flight they left their dead and wounded on the field, among whom were Generals McCulloch and McIntosh, mortally hurt. The insurgents tried to re-form at their former position on the Bentonville road, but the arrival, at about this time, of Sigel with t

constructed fort behind. I had Grierson's Sixth Illinois Cavalry with me, and with it opened communication with General Grant when we were abreast of Holly Springs. We reached Wyatt on the 2d day of December without the least opposition, and there learned that Pemberton's whole army had fallen back to the Yalabusha, near Grenada, in a great measure by reason of the exaggerated reports concerning the Helena force, which had reached Charleston; and some of General Hovey's cavalry, under General Washburn, having struck the railroad in the neighborhood of Coffeeville, naturally alarmed General Pemberton for the safety of his communications, and made him let go his Tallahatchie line with all the forts which he had built at great cost in labor. We had to build a bridge at Wyatt, which consumed a couple of days, and on the 5th of December my whole command was at College Hill, ten miles from Oxford, whence I reported to General Grant in Oxford. On the 8th I received the following letter:

the works, and presents himself suddenly before the enemy. The little garrison, surrounded on land, bombarded by the fleet, sees the uselessness of resisting and at once capitulates. On disembarking at Brazos Santiago, Banks had sent a part of his transports back to New Orleans to bring reinforcements. About the 21st of November, General Washburne, commanding temporarily the Thirteenth corps, reached the pass of Aransas with a brigade of his Second division, under the command of Colonel H. D. Washburn. This brigade, joined to that of Ransom, gives him a force of more than three thousand men, with which he will continue to take possession of the important points on the coast. The Corpus Christi and Cavallo passes are about sixty-two miles apart. The banks which extend between them form the two islands of St. Joseph and Matagorda, which are separated by a channel impassable by ships, called Cedar Bayou. At the northern end of Matagorda Island, near the small port of Saluria, is
