Dorm made his appearance near Corinth
with his entire army. On the Sd he
moved down on that place from the
north and northwest. Gen. Rosecrans
went out some four miles to meet him,
but was worsted and compelled to fall
back within the line of his forts. These
had been begun under Gen. Halleck, but
were much strengthened by Gen. Grant,
and consisted of several detached re-
doubts, bearing on each other, and in
closing the town and the depots OF
stores at the intersection of the two rail-
roads. Van Dorm closed down on the
forts by the evening of the Sd, and on
the morning of the 4th

Our men, covered by good parapets,
fought gallantly, and defended their
posts we'll, inficting terrible losses on
the enemy, so that by noon the rebels
were repulsed at all points, and drew of,
leaving their dead and wounded in our
hands Their losses were variously esti-
mated, but the whole truth will prob
ably never be known for in that army
reports and returns were not the fashion.
Gen. Rosecrans admitted his own loss to
be 315 killed, 1872 wounded, and 232
missing or prisoners, and claimed on the
part of the rebels 1923 dead, 1928
prisoners and wounded. Of course,
most of the wounded must have gone
off or been carried of, so that, beyond

His orders contemplated that he should
not make serious attack until Rose
Grams had gained his position on the south; |;
but. as usual, Rosecrans had encountered
difficulties in the confusion of roads, his
head of column did not reach the vici-
nifty of Iuka till 4 p. m. of the 18th, and
then his toops were long drawn out on
the single Jacinto road, leaving the
Fulton road clear for Prices use. Price
perceived bis advantage, and attacked
with vehemence the head of Rosecranss
column, Hamilton's Division, beating it
back, capturing a battery and killing
and disabling 736 men, so that when
night closed in Rosecrans was driven to
the defensive, and Price, perceiving his
danger, deliberately withdrew by the
Fulton road, and the next morning was
gone. Although Gen. Ord must have
been within four or six miles OF this
battle, he did not hear sound, and he
or Gen. Grant did not know of it till
advised the next morning by courier
who had made wide circuit to reach
them. Gen. Grant was much offended
with Gen. Rosecrans because of this
affair, but in my experience these con-
certed movements generally fail, unless
