GEN, MoCULLocH's REPORT,

we make The following extracts from Gen.
McCulloch's report The battle having become
general, he says: {,
Probably not two opposing forces ever
fought with greater desperation. Inch by inch
the enemy gave Wy and were driven from
their position. : Tottep's battery fell. back.
Miesourians. Arkansians, Touisianians and
Texans pushed forward. The incessant roll of
musketry was defending, and the balls.fell thick
as hailstones but s.ill-our gallant Southcrners
pushed onward, and with one wild yell broke
uron!he enemy, pushing them back and s,rew-
ing the ground with their dead. Nothing
could withstand the impetuosity of our final
charge; the enemy fled and could not again be
rallied, and they were sseen at l2m. fast re-
treating among the hills in the distance. Thus
ended the battle. 1t lasted six hours and a
half. 80 ~. ~
