enemy.
About three P. NJ, Gen. Grant rode t,
the left, where the fresh regiments haC
been ordered, and finding the rebels way
vering, sent portion of his body-guarC
to the head of each FIVE regiments, anC
then ordered charge across the field
himself leading, as he fourished hissworC
and waved them on to the crowning vic

The men followed with a shout thai
sounded above the roar and din of artil
lery, and the rebels fed in dismay as from
a destroying avalanche, and never made
another stand.
Gen. Buell. followed the retreating reb
els, driving them in splendid style, and by
half past five o'clock the whole rebel ar

what further result is not known, not hav,

We have taken large amount of theiI
artillery, and also a number of prisoners
A number of our forces were taken pris-

number taken has not yet been ascertain

dred.
Gen. Prentiss is also reported to be
wounded
Among the killed on the rebel side was
their General-in-Chie Albert Sydney
johnson who was struck by cannon ball,
on the afternoon of Sunday.
Of this there is no doubt, as the report
is corroborated by several rebel officers ta-
ken to-day.
It's further reported that Beauregard
had his arm shot off this P. NJ.
Gems. Bragg, Breckenridge and jackson
were commanding positions of the rebel
forces.
There has never been parallel to the
gallantry and bearing Of our oSScers, from
the Commanding Generalto the lowest Of

the entire two days of battle and all slept
