500 killed and 400 wounded, with scarcel,
any missing. The fight lasted from Z a

field of corn, say about two acres, the bat
tie ragged most furiously, and the ground
was covered with the dead, wounded and
dying. There must have been at least two
miles of dead, strewn thiekly, mixed with
fire arms, abandoned artillery, dead horses,
and the paraphernalia of battle field.
The Confederates and our gallant fellows
were promiscuously mingled; sometimes
graphing in the fierce death throe; some
tim es facing each other as they gave and
received the fatal shot and thrust; some
times huddled in grotesque shapes, aud
again heapedin piles of six, seven, and ten.
Many of the bodies were fearfully and
dreadfully mangled. yusm f91asa.f
l never witnessed anything more terrible
and heartrending than the silent indications
of agony which masked the corpses which
lay atalmost every step. General Maney's
brigade, which, understand, is mostly
composed of Nashville boys, suffered most
terribly, there being scarcely any of them
left. They were all day in the thickest and
hottest of the fight. At about p. IN. the
gallant General Turchin entered the list
with his dashing brigade--how he met
Cheatham with his division lying in the
underbrush, and when with few yards of
the willy foe received most CALLING fire
from the whole division; Turchin, nothing
daunted, brought up his men in splendid
style, and opened such terrific fire, that
the enemy wavered, fell back, and ran like
wild turkeys. In the dash of General Tur-
chin the gallant Col. Will Jones, of the
36th Ohio, was mortally wounded, and has
since died, and the dashing little Col. Fear
ons, of the gid Ohio, was wounded in the |
leg. Turchin followed the running rem
mant of Cheatham,s division, and poured
into them volley after volley, until they |
reached thick skirt of wood and ander-
brush. Here they were reinforced by Gle
