Results OF the Battle OF Cor1n,h.
Gen. Roscrans' official report of the battle
of Corinth is published. The following is his
summing up of the results:
We fought the combined rebel forces Of
Mississippi, commanded by Van Dorm, Price,
Loyel, Villipigue and Rust in person, num-
bering, according to their own authority 49,
900 men.
We sigually defeated them, with little more
than half their numbers, and they fed leaving
their dead and wounded on the field
The enemy's loss in killed Was 1923 officers
and men; their loss in wounded, taking the
general average, amounts to 5,692. We took
2, 24S prisoners, among whom are 137 field Of
fcers. csptsins and subalterns, representing
So regiments Of infantry, Is regiments of cav.
airy, IL batteries Of artillery, and battalons,
making GO regiments, bsttalions and Ii bat.
teries, besides separate companies.
We took also fourteen stands of colors, two
pieces Of artillery, 3, 300 stands Of arms, 4, 500
rounds OF ammunition and q large lot of &C.
coutrements. The enemy blew up several
wagons between Corinth and Chewalla, and
beyond Chewalls many ammunition wagons
and carriages were destroyed, and the ground
was strewn with tents, officers mess chests,
and small arms. We pursued them forty miles
in force and sixty miles with cavalry.
Our loss was only 3l5 killed, 1872 wound
ed, and 2S2 prisoners and missing.
1t is said the enemy was so demoralized and
alarmed at our advance, that they set FIRE to the
stores at Tupello, but finding We were not
close upon them, extinguished the fire and re-
moved the public stores, except two car loads
of bacon, which they destroyed.
To signalize in this report all those officers
and men whose action in the battle deserves
mention, would unnecessarily lengthen this
report, l must therefore, refer to the sub>re-
ports and special mentions, and to special
paper herewith, wherein the most conspicu-
GUS to the number Of 100 officers and men are
mentioned. ". s. RosEcRANs, Maj. Gen.
