Hoblitzell with an urgent demand for support for the First corps. He was furnished with a brigade and a battery from Mitchell's division, though at the time my own lines were assailed in the most lively and vigorous manner. Shortly after Major Wright brought an order to send two brigades from Schoepff's division to support the First corps; but as one brigade had already gone, and my own lines were undergoing a dangerous assault, I despatched only one of Schoepff's brigades. That moved tow

The Eighth Kansas, Lieut.-Col. Martin, and the Thirty-fifth Illinois, Lieut.-Col. Chandler, were advanced to the front, in rear of a section of Captain Pinney's Fifth Wisconsin battery, which, with the cavalry advance, had come upon the rebel outposts, and was then engaging a battery of the enemy. A little before sunset, these regiments were advanced to the front of the battery, and engaged the enemy till dark, when they fell back to their former position. The Eighty-first Indiana, Major Woodbury, and the Twenty-fifth Illinois, Lieut.-Col. McClelland, were thrown out as pickets upon the left and front. At daylight on the morning of the eighth, I sent forward a section of Capt. Hotchkiss's Second Minnesota battery, to relieve the section of Capt. Pinney's battery, which, under Lieut. Hill, had done such brilliant work the day before. At two P. M. on the eighth, in obedience to orders received from Major-General Gilbert, commanding corps, I advanced my division on the road, t

ody conflict. I cannot refrain from expressing my gratitude to my staff, including Lieut. Pratt, A. A.A. G., Lieut. Lines, A. D.C., Lieut. Rankin, of the Second Kansas regiment; Lieut. Andrews, of the Forty-second Illinois volunteers, and Lieutenant Wood, of the Signal Corps, for the able, gallant, and heroic manner in which they discharged their respective duties during the engagement, always ready and willing to take any risk or make any sacrifice for the good of their country's cause. one after one my men were cut down, but still with unyielding hearts, they severely pressed the enemy, and, in many instances, forced them to give way. Here we fought alone and unsupported for two hours and twenty minutes, opposed to the rebel Gen. Wood's entire division, composed of fifteen regiments and a battery of ten guns. Fiercer and fiercer grew the contest, and more dreadful became the onslaught. Almost hand to hand, they fought at least five times their own number, often charging up

's battery, which, under Lieut. Hill, had done such brilliant work the day before. At two P. M. on the eighth, in obedience to orders received from Major-General Gilbert, commanding corps, I advanced my division on the road, to a point designated by Gen.

Keith; Fifty-ninth Illinois volunteers, Major J. C. Winters; Seventy-fourth and Seventy-fifth Illinois volunteers, commanded respectively by Lieut.-Colonel Keer and Lieut.-Colonel Bennett; and the Fifth Wisconsin battery, Captain O. F.

ey deserve the highest honor for their patriotism and courage. I would here again mention the name of Lieut.-Col. Keith, of the Twenty-second Indiana. Until he fell from his horse, he was every where in the thickest of the fight. Where the battle raged hottest he was to be found, animating and cheering his men by his lofty words and noble example. He was universally loved by all who knew him, and his loss is much regretted. In his example there is every thing worthy of imitation. Major Winters, of the Fifty-ninth Illinois, has my grateful thanks for the coolness and courage which he displayed during the entire engagement. He displayed a patriotism and courage that is highly worthy of imitation. Lieut. West, of the Thirty-ninth Illinois, and A. A.A. G., is entitled to great credit for the timely aid he afforded me, and for the energy and promptness with which he delivered my orders. During the action he was wounded in five different places, but did not quit the field until

en, almost immediately afterward, Gen. Jackson, who was standing on the left of the battery, was killed, two bullets entering his right breast. At the moment, I was on the right of the battery watching the gallant defence then being made by our troops on the left. Returning to the General to report the same, I found him on his back struggling to speak, but unable to do so. He died in a few moments. His staff-officers at once removed his body from the crest of the hill some fifty yards. Mr. Wing, one of the General's volunteer aids, went for an ambulance, and whilst I was absent, notifying Gen. Terrell and Col. Webster of the General's death, instructing the latter to take entire control of his brigade until he received further orders from Gen. Terrell or myself, the battery had been taken by the enemy, and the troops driven back from the open ground on the knob to the skirt of woods, thus extending our left; and it was impossible to then recover the body of our fallen General.

, having lost his drum, took a musket and fought manfully in the line. The following is a list of our losses, and it seems impossible to credit our apparent miraculous escape. I take the liberty to say that I ascribe it, to a very great extent, to the consummate skill with which the regiment was handled by our brigade and division commanders. Killed, none. Wounded, private James Moneysmith, company I, shoulder, dangerously; private Edward Grimes, company H, arm, severely; private George Wilson, company E, shoulder, slightly. Total wounded, three; missing, none. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, D. D. T. Cowen, Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding Fifty-Second Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

Jackson's staff, and also by Col. L. A. Harris, commanding Ninth brigade, thahe has taken of the wounded. Favorable mention is also made of Surgeons Marke, Tenth Wisconsin; Dixon, First Wisconsin; Williams, One Hundred and Twenty-first Ohio; Wright, Seventy-ninth Pennsylvania; Beckwith, Thirty-fifth Indiana; Sinnett, Ninety-uous gallantry and good judgment during the entire action. He was, unfortunately, taken prisoner after dark. Captain Beverly D. Williams, Acting Quartermaster, was my guide during the entire day. The battle was fought near his birthplace, and he wrdnance, all the staff-officers left me and I believe reported to General McCook. On the decease of our General, Captain B. D.

Rousseau to throw forward a line of skirmishers to examine the woods on our left and front, and also sent Capt. Wickliffe with his company of the Second Kentucky cavalry to reconnoitre the ground on the left of the skirmishers. Gen. Gay's cavalry was making a reconnoissance in front and toward Perryville. I was then well satisfied that the enemy, which had ens promptly done. I then sent a order to Col. Lytle to form his brigade on the right in good position, and galloped back to placed Harris's brigade in position to resist the advance of the enemy, which I was just informed by a messenger from Capt. Wickliffe, of Col. Board's cavalry, was being made in that direction in great force of cavalry, infantry, and artillery. I aided Col.

Both were gallant officers, and fell while discharging their duties. Captain Pinney's Fifth Wisconsin batterythy of imitation.
