This place on Yesterday was the scene
Of a hard fought and bloody battle. re.

The rebel forces under Generals
Hindman, Marmaduke, Parsons. and
Frost. numbered $4,000. I had been
holding the enemy on the Boston Noun.
tains for two days, diminishing will
their advance and holding them in cheek
until Gen. Heron could come up with
reinforcements.
On the 7th instant they drove in my
'outposts, and got possession Of road BY
which they commenced flank move
ment on my left. during the night.
while they made heavy lsiut in front;
their object was to Gu, off cnmmunica-
lion between myself and Gen. Heron,
who was to be n FayeuviIle at day
light nE - ,;iaa, .
They then attacked Gen. Heron at
about 10 o'clock. A. NJ, who by gal
liant and desperate fighting held item
in check for three hours. until 1 came
up and attacked them in the rear.
The fight was desperate on both sides,
and continued Till it was Terminated by
the darkness Of the night. My com
msnd bivouacked on their arms ready
20 renew The conflict at daylight in the
morning. but the enemy had availed
themselves Of the nighito retreat across
the boston Mountains. .5Y
The loss on both sides has been heavy;
my losses in killed have been small in
proportion TO the number wounded.
The entmy's loss. compared with ours.
is at least four to one. My arti lery
made terrible destruction in their ranks.
They had greatly the advantage in
numbers and position; yet Gems. Hind
nsn and Marmaduke acknowledged to
me. in an interview under q flag Of truce,
that they had been badly whipped.
Among the enemy's killed Was Col
Stein. formerly Brigadier General OF
Missouri Safe Guards,
The 18th and 90th lows, Ssh Illinois,
and 26;h Indians regiments. Of Gen.
Her,on's division, suffered severely.
Gen. Heron deserves great credit for
the promplness with which he rein
forced me, by forced marches, near
as also his gallsnsry upon
the field. n,I
