With a part of his force he took post at Batesville, on the White River, where he was attacked Feb. 4. by the Fourth Missouri Cavalry, Colonel G. E. Waring, and driven across the stream, with the loss of a colonel and several men mle force, when he moved from Helena on the 10th of August, about twelve thousand men and forty guns.
