ceiYe2 on Sunday night and Monday, and the

The Cincinnati Gazette's Tittsburg CORES
pondence says the sum and substance of the
battle is On Sunday we were pushed from
disaster to disaster, till We lost every division
camp we had, and were driven within half
mile of the landing, where the approach of night
and the timely aid of The gunboats, and tre
mendOns Efforts of our artillerists and Buell's
approach, saved.
On Monary, after nine hours hard fighting,
we simply regained what we had lost ON Sun
day Not division advanced half mile be-
yond our old camp on Monday, except Lew
Wallace.
The lowest estimate places our loss, in killed |
and wounded, at three thousand, and the pris-
oners from three to four thousand. The rebel /
loss, in killed and wounded, is probably thou
sand more.
The rebels, in their retreat, left acres cover
cd with their dead whom they had carried to |
the rear, and destroyed the heavy supply trains
they had brought up.
