Herald gives the following particulars Of
the engagement near the Aichafalaj a.
Owing to the illness Of General Heron that
officer had received leave of absence, and
Major General Dana has been appointed
to the command. This change occurred
about a week ago. AS the enemy was
fonnd to be in great strength and good POI
sition on the opposite side Of the Atch@falaya
the commanding General thought il ad,isa-
bic to throw UP entertainments, and while
the larger portion ofthe troops were torti-
fying the levae, Lieut.. Col Leak Of the goth
Iowa, was ordered to proceed some five or
six miles in advance. tie was accompanied
by portion Of the 10Th Iowa and 26th
Indians, together with $50 cavalry and a
section Of artillery.
Early on Wednesday morning the whole
force Of the enemy, consisting Of Greene's,
Morton's and Majors brigades, succeeded in
quietly crossing the Atchafalaya, and pas
sing between the main body and Col. Leaks,
completely outhanked and cut it off before
the movement was discovered. Col. Leak
drew up bis men in lne Of battle and GAL
iantly prepared to give me advancing foe a
warm reception.
A sharp fight Of nearly half an hour oc-
CURED, in which our troops fou ght brayely
against oyerpowering numbers; but at the
end of that time they were compelled to
surrender, the enemy having almost entirely
surrounded them. With the exceptions Of
the cavalry. the whole were taken prisoners,
and their guns captured.
The former, consistine Of detachments
from the 9th, seth and lstillinois regiments
succeeded in making their escape. The
prisoners, officers and priyatcs, numbered
48O. We captured a Lieut. Colonel and
twelve men.
