fety. Major McCauleigh was wounded, and is still a prisoner. Accompanying the train were several negro recruiting officers, with about three hundred negro recruits. About one hundred and fifty of them, probably, were killed — the balance escaped. On our side there were between two hundred and fifty and two hundred and sixty killed and wounded. According to the rebel official report, as I am informed by one of our wounded officers, who read it in manuscript, they had one hundred and ten killed, two hundred and seventy-eight wounded, and forty missing. All our wounded were paroled. While they remained in the hands of the rebels they were well treated and provided for. The rebels lost two Colonels in the action--one of them, Colonel Pettus, of this State. Most of our wounded have arrived here, and are well cared for in the hospital. Colonel Drake, as soon as he can bear the trip, will start North. Among the killed is Captain Townsend, of General Rice's staff

The prospect was not good for receiving them by the latter route; but it was known that only Shelby's forces was north of the Washita, and Colonel Drake's force was fully competent to manage him. If reinforcements were sent to him, General Steele relied upon being advised thereof by his cavalry in time to reinforce Colonel Drake. It subsequently transpired that General Fagen crossed the Washita on the second night after Colonel Drake left Camden, making a forced march of forty-five miles the next day, and joining Shelby in the neighborhood of Marks' Mills.
