COMPANY A.-When the Sd were re-
turning from their brilliant charge on the en-
envy at Lees Mills, Corporal Cox, of Co. A.
noticed one of his messmates wounded on
the bank of the creek. He Immediately
returned and assisted him over, but seeing
another, also wounded, some distance up the
bank towards the earthworks, he returns
the second time TO assist his brother soldier.
Just as he was in the act of raising the
wounded man two rebels seized him by the
arm and led him up the bank, asking all
manner of insulting questions. They had
not gone far, however, before w-h--z comes
a bullet and rebel No. falls. In less than
minute there is another w-h-i-z and No.
2 sleeps with his companion. Cox then
creeps towards the creek, the bullets of the
enemy and the shells of his friends flying
all around him. He crossed the creek
silently, and remaining concealed till after
dark, he makes his way up to our pickets
and gets safely into camp, where he could
hardly tell his story for weeping. That
brave and noble soldier cried like chile
after the danger was all over.

ANOTHER FIGHT NEAR CoRINTH.-Gen.
Pope telegraphs from near Pennington to
Pittsburg Landieg, under date of May 3
that a reconnaissance sent toward Farming
ton found the enemy $500 strong, with four
pieces of artillery and some cavalry occupy
ing strong position near the town. Our
forces advanced at once to the assault, and
after sharp skirmsh carried the position
in fine style. The enemy left thirty dead
on the field, with their tents and baggage
our cavalry pursuing them. The enemy
fed in wild confusion. Some regiments Of
cavalry, sent through to Bonneville, took
possession of the town, tore up the railroad
track, and destroyed two bridges. Gen
Pope took some 200 or 800 prisoners, lot
Of tents, camp equipage, several hundred
mnskets, and four pieces of artillery. Th,
national loss was two killed and tire,
wounded. This Pope is certainely one O
the best managing generals of the army.

THE REBEL LOSS.

1t is impossible to learn the exact loss of
the enemy, but from our soldiers and sur
geons who were for time in his hands, his
wounded who are in ours, and the number
of Rebel de ad buried by our troops, we can
form an intelligent estimate. Gen. Nc
Clearnand's division buried the remains of
638 Rebels left upon the field, Gen. Sher-
mans 600, Gen. Nelson's 263, and Col.
Thaper's Brigade of Gen. Lew. Walaces
division, 1913. These are the only COM
mands from which returns have been re-
ceived but the most of the other divisions
and brigades buried proportionate mum.
Der. The Rebels must have lost 1000 kill
ed by the most moderate estimate. Aftel
the battle, Capt. Russell of the 9th Ohio
counted the bodies Of 1875 Rebels lying
where they fell, upon strip of land les
| than one-fourth Of mile long, and so yard
in width. Eleven of them, in front, hat
fallen nearly in line, about five PAGES apart
and were evidently skirmishers. Col
Thayer of the LIST Nebraska, in anothe
portion of the field, opposite Gen. Sherman
division, counted 81 dead Rebels, side b,
side, who had evidently been killed Will
in line of battle, by single volley. Sixty
eight were counted in front of the groun,
held by the 4Sth Ohio, and So in front Q
the 72d Ohio. A detail of men from Ger
McCook's division, buried in a single trench
ia, including three Lieutenat-Colonelt
and four Majors.
