on Monday morning and .colat,4l,yed unde
cided until four o'clock in ,the afternoon,
alto the enemy commenced to retreat, Fnd
are still iying, toward ,Corinth, pursued by.
a large three of our chivalry. •
The slaughter un both sides has been im
mense. We have lost in killed, wounded
and missing, front 18,000 to 20,000 and that
of the enemy is estimated at from 35,090 to
40,000.
The fight was brought on by 300 of the
23th ;,11 issuer i c) i f Gen. Pr en tiss, di

Fek;els, w,Welt they supposed to be the pick
ets u,t" The e.oenty. The rebels immediately
advanced on Prentiss' division on the left
wing, pouring in volley after volley of mus
ketry and riddling our pec.Aup with Erkr,e,
poetaster and shell.
Our forces soon formed into line and re
turned the fire Figormisly, fin by the time
we were prepared to 'receive them, had
turned their heaviest fire on the left centre,
Gen. Sherman's division, and droye our men
back from their camps; and bringing up
fresh force opened fire on our left wing, Gen.
Meelernand's division.
This fire was returnad vitt) terrible effect
and detemin,ed spirit by both the infantry
and artillery along the whole lfne, a distance
of over four General nurlburt's di
yisiuo was thrown forward to support the
gentre, when a desperate struggle ensued.
Tl)e re10..,-;ls were dtiven back with terrible
slaughter, but sem) tallied and drove our
men back ;n tarn.
prom about nine o'clock until night closed
there was nu determination of the result of
the struggle ;
The rebels exhibited remark:4p good
generalship. At times engaging the left
with, upparently, their whole strength, they
would si2.4en)y open a terrible aq4 dmrne
tive fire on the right a l it centre.
Even our benviest and most destructive
fire upon the enemy did not appear to dis:
courage their solid columns. The fire of
31ajor Taylor's Chicago artillery raked them
down in scores, but the smoke lie sooner
dispersed than the breach wits again filled.
The most desperate fighting took place
late in the afternoun. C l eo. forces
had by this time arrived on tip opposite :Jae
of the river, and another portion was cons
ing up the river from Savannah. At jive
o'clock the rebels hod forced our left wing
back s o a ., to occupy fully two-thirds of our
camp, and were fighting in their efforts to
drive us into the river, and at the same time
heavily eogagel our right.
Up to this time we had received no rein
forcement, Gen. Lew Wullace failing to
come to our support until the day was over,
having taken the wrong road front Crump's
Landing, and hsiog without other transports
than these gsg for the quartermasters and
emntni§stry stores, which were too heavily
Mit; any considerable number of
gen. fluelFs forces across the river, the
11004 thqt were here having been sent to
licing 9R Ow troops from Savannah.
We were therefore contending against
considerable odds, our forces nut exceeding
38,000 mon, while that of the enemy was
towards of 00,000. Our condition at this
momprit was exceedingly prier:al. Large
numbers of our wen were panic struck and
others, %- 4 .-orq out by hard fiAlating, with the
nvertlip app contage of skulkers, had strag
gled towards the river and cmild not be

Gen. Nelson's .4iviaion on the left and Major

Gen. Nelson's force opened a most galling
fire on the rebels, and a4vanced rapidly as
' they fell back. The fire soon b,ccßine gen
eral along the whole line and began to tell
with terrible effect on the rebels.
Generals MeClerland. Sherman nadficrl
bc,rt's men, though terribly jaded from the
pruvjo,cs day's fighting, still maintained
their honors won at Furt ainelson, but the
resistonce of the rebels was terrible and
worthy ,p ,1031,1,er cause; but they ivere not
enuo i gh for our undaunted bravery, and the
dreadful desulation produced by our artil
lery, which swept Altem away like chaff;
but knowing gtil.t defeat here would be the
death-blow to ,their ,hopes, their generals
still urged them cm ,in ,t,he ,f.*.tee of destruc
tion, hoping by i f j lan : Wig ,tts.to turn the tide
of battle.
Their success was fur a time cheering, as
they bcgan to gain ground on us, appearing
to have been reinforced; but our laft, under
Gen Nelsen, was driving them back with
wonderful rapidity, and at 11 o'clock Gen.
Buell's furcea 14 succeeded in flunking
them and capturing their batteries of aril-
ery.
They, however, ngnin rallied on the left
and re crossed, and the right forced them
selves forward in another desperate effort,
but reinforcements from Gan. Wood and
Genera Thom AS coming in, regiment after
regiment were sent to Gen. Buell, who had
again commenced to drive back the rebels.
About three o'clock I'. M. Gen. Grant
rode .to the left, where fresh regiments had
been nrdered, and finding the rebels to be
wavering, te sent a portion of his body
guard to the heal of each of the five regi
ments, and then ordered n charge across the
field, himself leading.
The cannon balls .wcro falling like hail
around him. The men followed with a shout
that sounded above the ronr of the artillery,
and the rebels fled in dismay and never
made another stand.
Gen. Buell followed tke retreating rebels,
driving them in splendid style, an 4 pt bof

Pope has succeeded in getting four steam
ers -and fire barges by the channel cut
through the swamps from Philip's Landing
above Island No.lo. This extraordinary
and herculean task was assigned to Cul.
Bissell, with his regiment of engineers and
mechanics, and has been well executed. It
was essential to the crushing of the enemy,
and the capture, of the island. Yesterday
the gunboat Carosidala, Capt.. Walker, ae
.2OmPattiai ly Qua. Granger, CA Smith, of
the Forty:third Ohio. and Capt. L. 11. Mar
shall, aid to Oren. pope, made a tecontiois
sance by ordsr of Gen. Pope to Tiptonville,
the object being to draw the fire from the
the masked batteries of the enemy. A
large number of bartet e were di,euveted
at or rikqr each paint whthe our troops could
land, and the t a was a contiouou.s fire t..f

the carriages, and threw the rebel ammun -
tion into the river. All returned to New

cursion.
This morning the gunboats Caromidet
and Pittsburg proceeded, by order, to the
point selected by Gen. Pope for his forces to
land, and, in two hours, three batteries.
were silenced, and the guns spiked.
At eleven o'clock the first division of•
four regiments of infantry, and one battery
of artillery, commanded by General Paine,
crossed the river, followed by Gen. Stanley's
division, under Gen. Granger. The whole
crossed the river in the face of the enemy,
and presented a splendid spectacle, reflecting .
great credit on General Pope, whose energy
and skill have been severely taxed. He has
triumphed, and the next forty e;ght: hour*
the fate of Island No.lo will be fully settled
and another bright page added to our history,
