roceeded to the crest of a hill overlooking a branch of Chaplin Creek, when the enemy in front opened upon us from a battery, and we were ordered to retire to the foot of the hill, some hundreds of yards in the rear. There we formed in line of battle, and remained for more than an hour, while the batteries were replying to those of the enemy. About two P. M., the enemy were seen advancing toward our position, and my regiment was ordered to the crest of the hill. A battery known as the Washington battery, at once opened upon us, and I ordered my men to lie down and wait the approach of the enemy's infantry. The latter advanced under cover of a house upon the other side of the hill, and reaching a point one hundred and fifty yards distant, deployed behind a stone fence, which was hidden from us by standing corn. At this time my left wing rested upon a lane known as the----road, my line of battle extending along the crest of the hill, and passing near to and somewhat beyond, a la

Captain: I have the honor to make the following report of the operations of my division in the action of the eighth instant, near Perryville, Kentucky. In accordance with the instructions of the General Commanding, I directed Colonel Dan McCook, with his brigade and Barnett's battery, to occupy the heights in front on Doctor's Creek, so as to secure that water for our men. This was done very handsomely after a sharp skirmish at da

my of the Ohio, camp near Crab orchard, Oct. 18. Col. Jas. B. Fry, Chief of Staff: I have the honor to report that in compliance with written instructions from you, dated October seventh, eight P. M., and received by me at my camp at Maxville, at half-past 2 A. M. on the morning of the eighth, I marched at five A. M. on the Perryville road. I had but a portion of my corps with me, Rousseau's and Jackson's divisions, the Second division under Gen. Sill having been detached to march upon Frankfort. The Tenth division, Gen. Jackson commanding, was entitled to the advance, but being composed entirely of new troops, I ordered Gen. Rousseau's division to take the lead. Gen. Rousseau was ordered to march with great caution in view of the known presence of the enemy at Harrodsburgh, and also of your letter informing me that the enemy would resist your advance into Perryville, and that you intended to attack them that day. Hearing reports of artillery in the morning, our march was hasten

-guns. The enemy retreated across Chaplin River to the Harrodsburgh turnpike, about one half-mile distant from the battle-field, thence to Harrods-burgh. The battle-field was a chosen one of the enemy. They marched from Harrodsburgh to give our army battle, at or near Perryville. The ground upon which the battle was fought was very much broken by hills and deep ravines, which offered every facility to them to conceal their troops. The bluffs and dry channels of Chaplin River and Doctor's Fork also gave the enemy every advantage for concealing and massing large bodies of troops. I was assailed by, at least, three divisions. I have since been reliably informed that Gen. Bragg commanded the enemy in person, and that Polk's and Hardee's corps were present upon the field. Thus ends my account of the part taken by my corps in the battle of Chaplin Hills, the bloodiest battle of modern times, for the number of troops engaged on our side. Rousseau had present on the field seven

It is probably pretty heavy, including several valuable officers. Generato take the lead. Gen.

of great advantages of position. The appearance of the field the next day showed, however, that the brave heroes of Pea Ridge (the Twenty-second Indiana and the Fifty-ninth Illinois volunteers) had returned the fire with terrible effect, and hadplace to them, which it did in good order. The reenforcements were from Mitchell's division, as I understood, and were Pea Ridge men. I wish I knew who commanded the brigade, that I might do him justice; I can only say that the brigade moved direcoderation, but I confidently believe, from the opinions of those who have been at Pittsburgh Landing, Fort Donelson and Pea Ridge, that the severest action of the war (in proportion to numbers engaged) has just taken place, and that, all things cons It was just then that the Second Missouri, Captain Walter Hoppe commanding, a regiment which distinguished itself at Pea Ridge, came gallantly up to the rescue, and with deafening cheers advanced upon the enemy.
