ed ut Pilot Knob, Oct. %, and for.
wardcd to Headquarters, St. Louis
FIELD OF BATTLE, FREDERIcKsrowN, Oct. %
In conjunction with Col. Plummer's
command we have routed the rebels
of Thompson and Lowe, estimated at
five thousand. Their loss was heavy.
Ours small, and confined principally to
the first Indiana cavalry. We captur.
ed four heavy guns. Lowe, the rebel
leader was killed. Major Gavitt and
Captain Lyman, Indiana cavalry, were
killed in charge on battery.
The command Of Col. Plummcr, re-
ferrcd to above, was on Friday morn
ing last ordered forward by General
Grant from Cape Girardeau, with in
structions to move towards Frede-
rickstown and cut off the retreat Of
Thompson's and loves army. This
force consisted of Marsll's 18th ILL
nois regiment, section of Taylor's
battery, and Stewart and Lebreus'
companies Of cavalry-all from Cairo.
Also. part Of Plummer's 18th Mis-
souri,, part Of Ross's 2lst Illinois,
and section Of Campbell's battery,
all from Cape Girardcau. The force
from this point was composed Of
the 3Sth, Col. Starten; SD Illinois,
Col. Harvey 2lst Illinois, Col. Alex
ander !; 9Th Wisconsin, Col. Murphy /;
LIST Indiana cavalry, Col. Banker !;
Captain Hawkins Independent Mis-
souri, Cavalry, and four 6-pounders.
and two 24-ponnders under Major
Scofeld of the LIST Missouri Light Ar.
tillery.
Col. Alexander OF the 2lst Illinois
commanded tho infantry in erson.
Our loss was ten wounded, one NOR.
tally. The rebel loss is known to
be thirty-six killed and wounded, and
believed to be much larger.
Officers in the engagement say
there were Louisiana. Tennessee and
Arkansas troops in the engagement,
which leads to the belief that they
were part of McCulloch's force from
the Southwest.
