Sr. Louis, March 11. Tho following
is tho official report of Oon. C'urtin, of ho
battle of Pea Ridgo, in the mountains of
Arkansas :
Headquarters of the Army of the South--tvestj
Pka IUdge, Ark., March 0.
General On Thursday, tho Oth instant
tho enemy commenced an attack on my
right, assailing and following rear guard
of tho detachment under Gen. Siegol, to
my main linos on Sugar Crock Hollow,
but ceased firing when ho mot my rein
forcomouts about four o'clock, F. M.
During tho night I became convinced
thot ho had moved on so as to attack my
right or rear. Thercforo, early on tho 7th
I ordered a ohango of front to tho right
on my right, which thus becoming my loft
still rested on Sugar Orcck Hollow. This
brought my lino across Pea Ridgo, with
my new right resting on thread of Cross
Timber Hollow, which Js$io' head of Big
Sugar Creek.-iiitetf'-rdercd an advance
of cavalry and Itght artillery, under Col.
Ostcrhaus, with orders to attack and break
what wc supposed would bo tho reinforced
line of tho enemy. This movement was
iu progress when tho enemy, at 1 1 o'clock
A. M., commenced an attaok upon my
right.
Tho fight continued warmly at theso
points during the day, the enemy having
gained tho point hold iu command by Col.
Carr, at Gross Timber Hollow, but were
entirely repulsed with tho fall of tho rebel
commander, McCullough, in tho center,
by tho forces under Col. Jeff. C. Davis, of
Missouri.
The plan of attack on the center was
gallantly carried forward by Col. Ostcr
haus, who was immediately sustained and
superceded by Col1 Davis' entire division,
supported also by Gen. Sicgel's command,
which had remained till near tho closo of
tho day on tho left.
Col. Carr's division held the right under
a galling and continuous fire all day.
In tho evening, tho firing having entire
ly ceased in tho center, and the right be
ing now on the left, I reinforced tho right
by a portion of tho second division, under
Gen. Asboth. Bcforo tho day closed I
was convineed that the enemy had concen
trated his main force to the right; there
fore I commenced another change of, front
forward, so as to faco the enemy where he
had deployed on my right flank in strong
position. Tho chango had been partly ef
fected, but was fully in progress, when, at
suuriso on tho 8th, my right and center re
newed firing, which was immediately an
swered by tho enemy with renewed ener
gy, along tho extent of his lino.
My left, under Gen. Sicgcl, moved close
A i to the lulls occupied by tho enemy, dnv
j i. ... .... , .
ing him trom tho heights auu advancing
steadily toward tho head of tho Hollows.
1 immediately ordered the center and right
wing forward, tho right wing turning the
icft of tho enemy and cross-firing in his
center. The final position placed tho eu-
omy in the aro of a circle. A charge of
Infantry, extending throughout tho wholo
lino, completely routed the entire rebel
forco, which retired in complete confusion,
but rathor safely, through tho deep, im-
passablo defiles to Cross Timbers.
Our loss was heavy. That of the ene
my can never bo ascertained, for tho lcad
are scattered over a largo field.
Their wounded, too, may, many cf them
scngor, who arrived hero at thrco o'clock
this morning, reports that tho battlo at Poa
Ridgo lasted from Thursday lnomlng till
Saturday evening, and that, our loss was
about 4(50 killed and wounded.
Tho rebel loss was about 1000 killed
aud wounded, and 1000 taken prisoners.
I Among tho latter was Col. Moltea, of an
Arkansas Rogimout.
Tho attack on our forces was made from
tho north and west our army boing com

The Merrimaojwas soon discovered pass

towards Nowport News, accompanied by
several small gunboats. Every exertion
was mado by us to get all tho speed on tho
Roanoke that tho two tugs wore capable of
giving her ; but in consequenco of cur bad
stcc.age, wo did not get ahead as rapidly
as wo desired to do.
.The Mcrrimao wont up and immediately
attacked the Congress and Cumberland,
but particularly tho latter ship, which was
hid from Us by the land. When about
seven or eight fliilcs from Fortress Mon

tinued to stand on, and when wo .camo in

had careened over, apparntly full of water.
