The following, from the New Orleans
Era, IS an account of the 6nal victory of
the Union forces 1t Pleasant Hill:
After some terrible fighting, at seven
o'clock Saturday morning, oar forces wore
at Pleasant Hill, aud the rebels were ad-
vsncing, cavalry ia front, endeavoriDg to
discover our position. Col. O. P. Good
ing, with his brigade of Lees cavalry
corps, was sent out on the Shreveport
road. to meet the enemy aud draw him
on. He had gone about mile when he
came upon she sebelHdvance. Skirmish.
ing Immediately ensued, and according to
the plan, be slowly fell back. The 6ght
was very sharp between these cavalry
bodies, and Col. Gooding lost nearly 30
men killed aad wesnAsd;. in6ieting.
however, ~ much damage - he received.
The 18th corps was a reserve 10 the
rear, under Gen. Cameron. Ransom
having been wounded the day before,
Gen. Smith was ia chief command Of the
second lines, back Of the crest, while Gen.
Mower Vas in command Of the men
I The commander Of the right brigade 10
Gen. Sniith's west line was Col. Lynch.
The left brigade was Col. Shaw's. The
Second brigade also consisted Of two brig
lades. Crawiord's third Indiana battery
was posted 10 the right of the Ssh Iudi.
ana infantry, and the ninth Indiana bat
terry 90 the right OF the line Of battle.
The Missouri Iroaton battery, and others
whose names and numbers we could not
ascertain, we're also in this section Of the
battle. The skirmishing was kept up
with considerable vigor until Eve o clock
in the afternoon, when the rebels had
completed their arrangements fcr the
attack.
At about this hour, Gen. Emer's skir-
nishing line was driven in on the right,
BY tie rebels. who appeared in large
force, coming through the timber above
mentioned. They soon reached the open
