It is said that as the Lincolnites came upon the bank above them, our whole force, which lay but eight or ten yards off, had but three rounds of cartridges with which to receive them. Our men now retreated up the river to a point opposite the upper end of Columbus; here Colonel Carroll's Fifteenth (under Colonel Tyler, of San Juan notoriety) and Col. Mark's Eleventh Louisiana regiments were being landed, which forces reached the other side of the river between half-past 12 and two. At eleven o'clock A. M. orders were received for two companies of the first battalion Tennessee Cavalry, Colonel Logwood, to cross the river, and Captain Taylor's Memphis Light Dragoons and Captain White's Tennessee Mounted Rifles (being companies A and B, of the battalion) were detailed and marched under Colonel Logwood

sustained by Col. Logan. After a few more rounds, they were driven into their encampment, and Cols. Fouke and Logan were in their position on a rising hill. At this time, Col. Dougherty came up with the Twenty-second. Another charge was made, and our troops were in possession of their encampment, passing over a large number of dead bodies. This was about two o'clock, when an order came to burn their encampment, which was done with a good will. It was a splendid encampment, and Lieut.-Colonel Dennis, of the Thirtieth, fired one of an artillery officer's, with all its equipments, which could not have been valued at less than five hundred dollars. And now comes the saddest part. It is not to be supposed that all this was done without any loss on our part. At this time, Gens. Grant and McClernand, Col. Fouke and Capts. McCook and Dresser, had their horses shot from under them; Capt. Challenor, of the Twenty-second. regiment, Company K, and seven of his men, were killed instantly

I have to regret the loss of my caissons and baggage wagon, but trust the Government is amply repaid in the capture of two guns from the enemy. I am highly gratified to be able to report that the officers and men under my command conducted themselves in a manner to deserve my highest commendation and praise. I take pleasure in mentioning, in particular, Lieut. P. H. White and the men under his immediate command, for the bravery displayed in driving the enemy from his position, silencing his battery, and, under a galling fire from his infantry, capturing two of his guns; and although the result of the battle is any thing but satisfactory to me, yet I cannot forbear to say that, considering the ground fought over, and the extreme difficulty experienced in handling artillery in the woods, I am satisfied that no man could have effected more under the circum

Sergeant Chase was shot through the arm — doing well. Two of our guns destroyed a famous battery of nine guns, called the Washington battery, from New Orleans. We brought off two of their guns, but had to leave two of our caissonbodies.

Columbus, Nov. 10, 1861. Thursday, the 7th day of November, 1861, as your columns have already announced, was an eventful day to the Confederate cause in the Northwest--the advance of the first column of the enemy, as a prisoner has remarked, upon New Orleans, though, more properly speaking, upon Columbus. Things had worn their wonted aspect of quiet up to six A. M. on that morning, with the e

Lauman, of the Seventh Iowa, is badly shot in the thigh. Of the Thirtieth regiment, forty-four are killed and missing; eighteen are in the hospital and three wounded in camp. The names of the men are as follows: John S. Heath, Theodore Gross, Jerry Beatie, John A. McClure, of Company A; James Davis, Company B; Joseph Lenning, Company C; Isaac Wright, L. Cox, Milton Colton, Company D; H. Haling, George Brown, Frank G. Hart, Company E; H. Mayar, Wm. Abernethy, Company H; Isaac R. Martin, Wm. Entleten, A. J. Williams, Casper Sabien. Most of them are doing well; two of them will, without doubt, loss an arm. Col.-Logan thinks thirty-seven of his men are killed. Col. Buford's boys arrested a Major Harris, of Tennessee, and brought home their Confederate flag as a trophy. The Seventh Iowa and the Twenty-second have suffered pretty badly. We captured two prisoners. At two o'clock, Col. Fouke detailed Company F, as a scouting party. They returned and reported that a force of nearly

Montgomery, and Capt. Bowles' Cavalry, of Lieut.-Col. Miller's battalion of Mississippi Cavalry--were in imminent danger of an attack. Under these circumstances, reinforcements were rapidly sent, consisting of Col. Edward Pickett's Twenty-first, Col. J. V. Wright's Thirteenth, Col. Freeman's Twenty-s, and Captain Taylor's company, accompanied by Colonel Logwood, reached the other side before our forces had retired up the river. Taking a position on the left wing with Captain Montgomery's Bolivar Troop and Captain Bowles' Cavalry, under Colonel Miller, as sharpshooters and videttes, that portion of our cavalry, when the charge was made, were cut off from the main body and were obliged to retreat down the river. Captain White's company were delayed some hour or more in crossing, and made t
