usual pride and interest the official report
OF the brilliant victory achieved by Gen
Curtis. The battle lasted long and was
bravely contested, and the victory was
complete and overwhelming The lows
troops engaged were, COL Vandever's and
Dodges infantry regiments, and the Third
Cavalry, whose gallant bravery receives
the special commentator of their Com
mander.
Gen. Curtis is entitled to the gratitude
OF the country. and the verdict of friends
and foes will be unanimous that he has
nobly earned the title of Major General,
TO which the President has promoted him.
