nenf hospital treatment at Paducsh and Cairo
i should ray, however that early this morning
and before our men got their breakfast, the ReLe.
came ont urcn our right in force with knaTsaeks on
evidently with the iften,on Of making through our
lines. To meet tbese we had The 18Th, the STD 3is,
I'D 2Hb Illinois. and the ojt Indiana and die 7Gih
Ohio also were engaged. Tley were driven back
There also a considerable firing from RICH, to
left from the Hebel batteries which threw snell, snd
cid u- much damage. At the same time very gen.
oral nciD with the advance Of both parties on the
part Of the sharpslooier lad tafen place, and this
wac uninterrupted u Ill O'Clock Heavy fling has
continued till O'Clock. 1t is extremely difficult for
ore on the grourd to get than partial accounte
which IL owing TO the very billy ground and the
dick growth of nn6erbrurh and timber.
About O'Clock the wounded began to arrive a, the
boats, the distance whence they were brought vary

succession of bills not extremely muddy, for in TIE
woods the ground frozen aud there is little

The ambulances used are mostly four-whesled, on
springs, ana look very much like two borso extrr
coaches. They very fine and durable. One
vehicle would bring from two to fonr, according to
tie severity Of the wounds. For the most part the
wounds sre slight, and ofrepes about the head for it
IL 20 be understood that the men on both sides are
used TO bsckwoods life, and each may be considered
tie very flower of either army. So far M have
noticed think those wounded IN the head aud shout
dcrs are fully thIee.foulths. Those with sligbler
wounds brought by the teams which early IN the
day took up provisions Besides those brought in
this manner, i think az many fifty have come
down on foot. Some have their arms done up in
sings others have their heads bandaged, and some
walk along as firmly as il they were uninjured, while
their faces are covered with black blood.
Ligh o'ciock.-Two gnnboais went up the river
when tie sun was almost hour high, and fred
into the fort, sgain filing the heavens With thunder.
