Steel and Helm also rendered material and ever dangerous service in the line of their duty. Major General (now General) Braxton Bragg, in addition to his duties of Chief of Staff, as has been before stated, commanded his corps — much the larges, in the field — on both days with signal capacity and soldiership. Surgeon Foard, Medical Director, Surgeons R. L. Brodie and S. Choppin, Medical Inspectors, and Surgeon D. W. Yandell, Medical Director of the Western Department, with General Johnston, were present in the discharge of their arduous and high duties, which they performed with honor to their profession. Capt. Tom Saunders, Messrs. Scales and Metcalf, and Mr. Tully, of New Orleans, were of material aid on both days, ready to give news of the enemy's positions and movements regardless of exposure.

Through information derived from many sources, including the newspapers of the enemy, we engaged on Sunday the Divisions of Generals Prentice, Sherman, Hurlbut, McClernard and Smith, of 9,000 men each, or at least 45,000 men. This force was reinforced on Sunday night by the Divisions of Generals Nelson, McCook, Crittenden and Thomas, of Major General Buell's army, some 25,000 strong, including all arms. Also, General L. Wallace's Division of General Grant's army, making at least 33,000 fresh troops, which, added to the remnant of General Grant's forces — on Monday morning amounting to over 20,000--made an aggregate force of some 53,000 men, at least, arrayed against us on that day. In connection with the results of the battle, I should state that the most of our men who had inferior arms exchanged them for the improved arms of the enemy. Also, that most of the property, public and personal, in the camp

Unquestionably it was greater, even in proportion, than our own, on both days; for it was apparent to all that their dead, left on the field out numbered ours two to one.

troops from Mobile and Pensacola, under Maj. Gen. Bragg, constituted the Army of the Mississippi. At the same time, Gen. Johnston being at Murfreesboro', on the march to form a junction of his forces with mine, was called on to send at least a brioad, so that we might fall on and crush the enemy should he attempt an advance from under his gunboats. The call on General Johnston was promptly complied with. His entire force was also fastened in this direction, and by the 1st of April our uniteell, then known to be advancing for that purpose by rapid marches from Nashville via Columbia.

By a rapid and vigorous attack on General Grant, it was expected he would be beaten back into his transports and the river, or captured, in time to enable us to profit by the victory and remove to the rear all the stores and munitions that would fall into our hands in each an event, before the arrival of General Buel's army on the scene. It was never contemplated, however, to retain the position thus gained, and abandon Corinth, the strategic point of the campaign. Want of general officers, needful for the proper organization of divisions and brigades of an army brought thus suddenly together, and other difficulties in the way of an effective organization, delayed the movement until the night of the 2d inst, when it was heard from a reliable quarter that the junction of the enemy's armies was ne
