A private letter from an officer, written
at Grand Ecore shortly after Gen. Banks
battle, says; "Gen. Banks was advancing
with the confidence that he had only to
advance, and advanced faster than the
rebels reiterated. Seeing our exposed posi-,
ton, they brought on an engagement near
Mansfield, which resulted in the loss of all
the trains and artillery, which were irregu-
larly distributed in the train. The attack
WAS so sudden that all were panic-stricken.
The horses were cut from the wagons and
artillery, and precipitately lied to the rear.
Then the cavalry became engaged but only
for moment, when they abandoned their
horses by squadrons, and fed. The 18th
Army Corps was ordered up, brigade at a
time. Thus this corps was fearful routed
losing 1000 or 1900 men. Those who did
escape were forced to abandon their arms
Had it not been for the plumber and the
captured train, this entire corps would have
been taken prisoners, one brigade at time.
have talked with many of the 18th who
were taken prisoners and escaped while the
rebels were plundering the tram. The 18th
is almost without arms. 1t was commanded
by Gen. Ransom and four brigade com
manders. Gen. Ransom was wounded by a
ball passing through his leg above the knee,
and three of the brigade commanders we're
killed. The remaining one, Colonel Ray.
mon. is now in command of the corps
Gen. Banks is universally condemned by
officers and men.
"The few rebel prisoners we have are
very jubilant, and say: Well, Gen.
Banks has been the best commissary we
have had 10 this department since he has
been in command. We couldn't get any
thing from Butler
1.-The next morning after the second days
fight, our exhausted and slightly woun led
who were too much wounded to get off the
field that night, on waking and finding no
one about, made up their minds that our
army had advanced, and 80 went forward.
After going two or three miles they came
upon our captured train and many other
wagons. This confused them, bat on they
went, and after they had passed the train,
and were within short distance of Plea
SAINT Hill, thew were fired upon by the rebel
pockets They then knew their condition,
and retraced their steps, Thus both ar
mics were running from one another. We
lost from twenty to thirty pieces of artil
lery, and some 5000 men in killed, wounded
and missing.
" The army gives Gen A. j. Smith great
credit for his conduct, and say lift had not
been for him all would have been lost.
"The army seem to be expecting an
attack. They have been in line Of battle
to day.
