he enemy not long afterward. Bragg was present in person; but his forces were commanded more immediately by Maj.-Gen. Bishop Polk, who had in hand five divisions--two under Hardee, and those of Patton Anderson, Cheatham, and Buckner — that of Withers having been sent by Bragg, the day before, to support Smith, who was retreating farther to the east, and was deemed in danger of being enveloped and cut off. Bragg gives no other reason for fighting before concentrating his entire command than tadvanced by order to assail the Rebel front, while Crittenden struck hard on his left flank; but they found no enemy to dispute their progress. Bragg had decamped during the night, marching on Harrodsburg; where he was joined by Kirby Smith and Withers; retreating thence southward by Bryantsville to Camp Dick Robinson, near Danville. Bragg admits a total loss in this battle of not less than 2,500; including Brig.-Gens. Wood, Cleburne, and Brown, wounded; and claims to have driven us two mil

nd of Major-General Polk--Cheatham's, Buckner's and Anderson's, and directed Gen. Polk to take the command on the seventh, and attack the enemy the next morning. Withers's division had gone the day before to support Smith. Hearing, on the night of the seventh, that the force in front of Smith had rapidly retreated, I moved early night, I .withdrew my force early the next morning to Harrodsburgh, and thence to this point. Major-Gen. Smith arrived at Harrodsburgh with most of his force and Withers's division the next day, tenth, and yesterday I withdrew the whole to this point, the enemy following slowly but not pressing us.

individual gallanttry displayed upon this field than any I have ever seen. Conspicuous amongst those gallant officers and men, were Brigadier-Generals R. H. Anderson, Whiting, Wilcox, and Pickett--the latter severely wounded; Colonels Jenkins, Withers, severely wounded; Lieutenant-Colonel Hale, severely wounded; Lieutenant-Colonel Slaughter, severely wounded; and Major Mullins, severely wounded. The gallant Colonel Woodward, of the Tenth Alabama volunteers, fell at the head of his regiment ithe ground and commenced returning the fire with spirit. Seeing the inequality of the contest, a charge was ordered, which was obeyed with promptness. Here our gallant General (Pickett) fell, badly wounded, while nobly urging on our boys. Colonel Withers was also badly wounded, at the head of his regiment, and Colonel Hunton was sick, though he did not leave the field, I understood afterward, the command thus devolving upon me even before I was aware of it. The enemy were driven from a tripl

and reduced to the numbers of a small brigade, with its officers stricken down in the many fierce engagements, closing with a Colonel commanding the division, Captains commanding brigades, Lieutenants commanding regiments. In this fight every man was a hero, and it would be invidious to mention particular names. Winder's brigade was commanded successively by Colonel Grigsby and Major (now Lieutenant-Colonel) Williams, Fifth Virginia regiment; Jones's brigade by Captains Penn, Page, and Withers, the two first losing a leg; Taliaferro's brigade, by Colonel G. W. Jackson, and Colonel Sheffield; Starke's brigade, by General Starke, Colonel A. L. Stafford, Ninth Louisiana regiment, and Colonel Edward Pendleton, Fifteenth Louisiana. Enclosed are reports of the various brigade commanders, which give more particularly the parts taken by their brigades. The list of casualties has already been furnished, amounting to about seven hundred killed and wounded. This brief report is res

us. We were therefore obliged to march through the snow to the rear of Bowling Green, where we were packed into the cars and speedily taken to Nashville, arriving there on the 20th February. Thence, after a couple of days, we were marched towards the South, via Murfreesboro, Tullahoma, Athens, and Decatur, a march of two hundred and fifty miles. At the latter place we took the cars again, and were transported to Corinth, where we arrived on the 25th March. Here it leaked out that a surprise was intended against our army, by the conqueror of Donelson, who had landed from the Tennessee River near Shiloh, some twenty-four miles away from us. Brigades and regiments were daily arriving, belonging to the divisions of Generals Clark, Cheatham, Bragg, Withers, and Breckenridge, which were finally formed into three army corps, under the inspection commands of Polk, Braxton, Bragg, and Hardee, and were now united under the commands of Generals Albert Sidney Johnston, and P. G. T. Beauregard.

h the ravine, they arrived near the crest of the opposite hill, upon which the enemy's batteries were, but could not be urged farther without support. Sheltering themselves against the precipitous sides of the ravine, they remained under this fire for some time. Finding an advance without support impracticable, remaining there under fire useless, and believing that any further forward movement should have been made simultaneously along our whole line, I proceeded to obtain orders from General Withers, but, after seeing him, was ordered by a staff-officer to retire. This order was communicated to me as coming from General Beauregard. General Hardee, who commanded the first line, says in his report: Upon the death of General Johnston, the command having devolved upon General Beauregard, the conflict was continued until near sunset, and the advance divisions were within a few hundred yards of Pittsburg, where the enemy were huddled in confusion, when the order to withdraw was
