THE CITY.
THE sTUNcIs DISASTER.
Destruction of tho 05th Regiments.
Killed and Wounded Columbus Mcn
--SOmc Particulars of the Fight.

A letter from Memphis was received by q
citizen of this place, yesterday, from an Of
ficer connected with the late expedition
commanded by Gen. Sturgls, In regard to
the terrible disaster of which we have re-
ceived several brief and unsatisfactory re-
ports by telegraph. This letter fully con-
firms the previous reports as to the terrible
and overwhelming character of the disas-
ter. Guntown, the scene of the disaster, Is
miserable village about forty miles south
of Corinth, in Mississippi. The expedition
numbered about five thousand men, under
command of Gen. Sturgis, infantry, caval
ry and artillery, including two negro regi-
ments, the infantry under command of
Col. McMillen, of the 95th. They were at
tackled by twenty-eight thousand rebels,
according to the letter, under command of
Forrest and others. t.
The Union soldiers stood up to their work
heroically and fought as long as it was pos
sible. They were overwhelmed by superior
numbers and cut to pieces by the tremen-
dous fire that was concentrated upon them.
Lieutenant Kelton was severely wounded
In the neck, and while being carried to the
rear was killed and his body left upon the
field. Captain Allis was also mortally
wounded, and while being carried off told
his men to let him down to die in peace;
and he was also left upon the field. In fact
Sturgis's command was by this time COM
pletely routed and was compelled to aban-
don all the dead and wounded. The fol-
lowing is list, contained in the letter, of
those of the 05th known to be killed or
wounded:
Captain w. Allis, Captain Hanson, Lieu
tenant o. d. Kelton, Sergeant Starr, pri-
vate George Mock. Lieut.. Colonel Brum-
back, reported killed; Major w. r. Warner,
Captain Stanbury, Lieutenant d. M. Tate,
Lieutenant j. b. Vance, wounded; Lieuten-
ant Davidson Stover, Lieutenant William
Elliott, Lieutenant B. i. Robinson, Lieu
tenant James Hanson, Lieutenant Peters
and Adjutant Murray Davis.
The 95th regiment entered the fight with
three hundred men, of which number only
sixty-two are known to have escaped being
killed, wounded or captured. The negro
regiments are reported to have fought des-
perately and were literally cut to pieces
The rebels pursued the fragments Of the
command to within twenty-four miles of
Memphis, when they were fortunately met
by Major General A. J. Smiths command,
who pitched in and routed the enemy. 1t
appears that General Smith happened by
accident to be in the neighborhood, and by
his timely appearance prevented Memphis
from again falling into the hands of the
rebels. ~
The 95th regiment was organized in this
city, and many of its men enlisted here
Further particulars of the affair in which
they suffered SO severely are looked for
with painful interest by many families in
the city.
