the Tenth Kentucky had come up dur
ing the pursuit and were placed in ad-
vance for the assault ordered for day
break. General Schocpf arrived about
dark with the Seventeenth, Thirty
first aud Thirty-eighth ohio.
At daybreak next morning Wet
mores guns which had been moved TO
Rrssel's, began firing on the steamer,
which was busily engaged in crossing
troops, and it was soon abandoned and
set on fire by the enemy. The assault
ing columns moved forward, the Tenth
Kentucky ana the Fourteenth Ohio In
advance, and, reaching the intrench-
ments, found them abandoned. In the
bottom, near the ferry crossing, wero
found eleven pieces of artillery, with
their caissons, battery wagons and
forges, hitched aud ready to move, but
abandoned by the artlllerymen, 100
wagons aud over q thousand horses
and mules. All the troops had escaped.
The steep road on the bank was strewn
with baggage and other evidences OF
dsorderly night. The boats used for
the crossing having been destroyed by
the retreatlng enemy, no immediate
pursuit was possible, but during the
day means were improvlsed for getting
the Fourteenth Ohio across for recon-
noissance and to secure abandoned
property.
Thomas reported his loss In action
as thirty-nine killed and 207 wounded,
the casualties being confined entirely to
the Tenth Indiana, Fourth Kentucky,
Second Minnesota, Ninth Ohio and
Wolford's cavalry. Colonels McCook
and Fry were among the wounded.
The enemy's loss he reported as 1872
killed, so prisoners not wounded and
0S wounded. Crittenden's report stated
his own loss Mt 125 killed, 300 wound
ed and 30 missing, much the heaviest
loss being i'm the Fifteenth Mississippi
Of Zolllcoffer's brigade, which had led
the attack on Fry and had fought the
whole engagement. Besides the prop
erty mentioned above, a large amount
OF ammunition, commissary stores, en-
branching tools, camp and garrison
equipage and muskets and five stands
Of colors were found In the camp.
The Generalization was acknowledged
by Crittenden in his report. In which he

 From a careful consideration of the situation we can but draw one conclu- sion; we are all men and women. boys and girls too absorbed in our own affairs to be cognizant- of surroundings. and hence we have not forgotten or ignored our training-simply thinking thousand miles away and take and demand things as they come to us. This is grave species of selfishness. and sefishness is the germ of the worlds greatest discon- tent and misery.
 There is so much in the many with whom we are thrown in our daily dealing that.if we but look around us we find self microbe that will grow and create either an evil or good influence for those we meet with, while we grow and expand on the same principle.
