Hot Fight In Cornaeld.

Plummcr's regulars became separat-
cd from the rest of the Union troops
and crossed to the other side OF the
creek. where they. suddenly faced
large body of Confederates in a corn
field. The ;fght here grew hot until
one OF the Union batteries, that un.
der Du Bois. took position on a hill
top and opened so hot a fire on the
enemy in the cornfield that Plummer
was enabled to withdraw his men.
At this .juncture the firing grew
heavy at tho other end Of the line.
where General Price attempted to turn
Lyons flank. The arrival Of the Sec.
ond Kansas frustrated this attempt
but Prices troops still charged several
times only to be beaten back. Tot
tens Union battery had taken posi-
ton on nearby hill and helped to re-
pulse tho Confederates. This was one
OF the fiercest actions of the day, the
firing becoming an unbroken roar.
An interval here ensued during
which Price brought up fresh troops
and started another attack all along
the line. The Confederates charged
many times and the lines reeled back
and forth in fierce struggle that last
ed an hour. At this time Lyons en-
tire force was engaged. He had SO
few troops that he could spare none
for reserve. At last the Confed-
crates temporarily gave way.
In the meantime Colonel Sigel had
gained the rear of the enemy and be-
, gan an attack from that side. driving In
some scattering troops of the COnfed-
crates and following them for long
distance. At first no met little re-
sistance. Sigel could hear the roar of
Lyons guns and expected the victori-
Gus Union troops soon to break
through and Join >him. At this juno
ture General McCulloch's men I'D

thought them the Federal troops he
had been anticipating. He therefore
directed his men to withhold their
fire until suddenly the supposed friends

morning. The Union forces mt once

was then seen on the hilltop. which

one course left, and that was to move

General Lyons plan was to make
the advance on the night Of Aug. y.
His men were footsore and tired, how
ever. and as new supplies were about
to arrive some Of his officers prevailed
on him to defer the movement one day.
The delay was almost fatal, for the
Confederates intended to move on

were deferred by threatened thunder

Sigel's Division Routed.

S1gcIS DIVISION Routed.
The deception was caused by the
color Of the uniforms, which were
nearly the same in portions of the two
armies. 1t was also stated by the
federals that the enemy carried a
Union flag until close enough to fire.
when they ran up their own coiors.
Most of the authorities agree In this
statement. some OF them asserting that
this ruse was resorted to twice by the
Confcderates that day. As It was q
trick often practiced in border war
fare. 1t is credible, although the Con-
fcderatc accounts of the battle do not
mention it. At any rate, this was the
turning point against Stgel. He now
sought to withdraw. but nearly oil OF
his troops were ambuscaded and killed
or captured. Sigel himself narrowly es-
Gaping. He saved only one gun. his
cavalry, dragons and part of his In
fantry.
The sudden disaster to Sigel left the
entire Confederate force free to attack
Lyon. This was about 10 o'clock In
the morning and shortly after Price
had been beaten back. Fresh Confed.
crate troops now moved to the attack.
and Lyon ordered up the Second
Kansas and two companies Of the
First Iowa to charge the enemy's line.

Meridian Votes $4,000 to Buy Ter
minaIs for RaiIroad-Work
Expected to Begin July list.

Meridian, Miss, May 17.-Meridian
voted bonds yesterday for new rail
road-the Meridian and Deep Water.
The vote was practically unanimous
and the amount of the bond issue was
$4,000
The fact that there were only six
votes against the proposition is so
near unanimous that it will not re-
quire motion to make it unanimous.
1t can just be considered that way.
Not one cent of these bonds will
be due or payable until the road is
built and trains are in operation.
Under a special act of the legisla-
ture this city is allowed to vote $780,
900 in bonds to buy terminals and
rights of way for new railroads. So
Meridian has more money for still
other railroads.
The indications now are that work
will begin on the new railroad by
July first.
