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 — these were al imperfect synopsis of the killed and wounded on our side; Capt. J. W. Armstrong, killed; Capt.

The entire loss is not yet ascertained. We lost also one gun, but took two hundred and fifty prisoners. A flag of truce was sent to Columbus, from Cairo, with fifty wounded rebels. Col.
