lost about 500 killed and wounded and
100 captured. We then marched to

we crost Fishing Creek with force OF
about 1000, where we were reinforced
by Gen. Thomas. On Sunday morning,
during terrible downpour of rain, we
got to about eight miles of Zollicoffer's

field fight, but the COnfeds had the ad-
