hree miles, massed his left, grabbed three thousand men and twenty-four cannon from McCook, and then pitched in and whipped our right, killing and wounding more than two-fifths of those who avoided capture, and drove back half of our army four miles. At Chickamauga he again attacked our army moving in columns, with what result is well known. This same dodge was attempted on the 20th and 22d of July, but upon each occasion our army was in line of battle. The attack upon Logan on the 28th ultimo did not far fall short. Had the enemy withdrawn his skirmish line but a few moments sooner, the Fifteenth corps would, have found itself in great peril. As it was, as I have informed you in my account of the battle, the enemy all but struck us in the flank and rear. It is an opinion, long ago expressed, that General Bragg is the best man the enemy ever had in command of his army in the Southwest. This fact is clearly developed now. The rebels, in and out of the army, despise Brag

original lines were re-established. In this charge we captured six hundred prisoners, a stand of colors and several hundred fine arms. Prisoners report that the Yankee General Ferrero, dancing master and commander of negro troops, was killed. The enemy's force on this side of the river is said to be composed of the Tenth and Second corps, with a large body of cavalry. Officers who were engaged in the fight on Tuesday represent that the slaughter of Yankees exceeded that of the 30th of July in front of Petersburg. --Indeed, they received such a severe punishment that they have been contented to remain comparatively quiet ever since. Last evening about six o'clock heavy cannonading was heard down the river, which continued with great rapidity for about an hour. We learned that this proceeded from our gunboats shelling the position supposed to be occupied by the enemy, and the enemy's gunboats shelling the shore where they supposed the rebels were posted.
