d, of my corps, Wood on the right, found the resistance constantly increasing as they advanced, till Newton's skirmishers, going at double-time through clumps of trees, awakened a heavy opposing fire. A little after this, while I was watching the developments from a high point, Sherman with his staff and escort joined me. Our showy group immediately drew upon it the fire of a battery, shells bursting over our heads with indescribable rapidity. Colonel Morgan's horse was very badly lamed; Fullerton, the adjutant-general, was set afoot, and several horses of the escort were killed or crippled. Captain Bliss, of Newton's staff, had one shoulder-strap knocked off by a fragment, which bruised him badly. The skirmishing of Newton and Wood kept increasing. In fact, both parties, though desiring to avoid a general battle, nevertheless reenforced, till the firing amounted to an engagement. It was not till after 9 o'clock that the rattling of the musketry had diminished to the ordinary sk
and Hickman counties, Kentucky, were passing within eight miles of this place southward, under one Capt. Binfield, who had taken the oath some time since at Hickman. Colonel Harris, commander of the post, immediately ordered out company C, Captain Fullerton, Second Illinois cavalry, in pursuit. The Colonel accompanied the expedition in person. The company left at seven A. M., under command of Lieut. C. Terry, and overtook the enemy about twelve M., at Merriwether's Ferry, on the Obion Riveished; twenty were left dead on the field, and nine were taken prisoners. Five were taken prisoners and one killed the next day, who were making their way back to Kentucky. Sixty horses and mules, and. some forty guns, fell into our hands. Capt. Fullerton is in full pursuit of the enemy. Killed — Calvin Terry, First Lieutenant, shot through the body; John Goodhart, Second Lieutenant, shot through the heart and head; Jacob F. Stone, private, shot through the head. Wounded — John C. Philb
men killed, eight wounded, and one missing. Second division--Four men wounded. The rebels lost, beside the number stated, several severely wounded, which I am obliged to leave behind, and probably several killed. The number of small arms thrown away by them is rather large, and they will, undoubtedly, be gathered by Colonel Long. I shall pursue my march at daybreak to-morrow. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Bernard Laibold, Colonel Second Missouri Infantry. Lieutenant-Colonel Fullerton, Adjutant-General Fourth Corps. A national account. Chattanooga, Monday, December 28. An important victory has just been added to the list which has crowned the army of the Cumberland with glory. True, the fight was upon a comparatively small scale; but victories are not always to be valued by the numbers engaged, nor the list of the slain. The importance of an achievement must be estimated by results; and, in this instance, it would be impossible to compute the magn
ntaining that amount over to the mistress of the house, whom he had never seen until twelve hours before, who, by the way, was a strong advocate of secession, and the day after received from her hands his package of money. Several other Southern women wore belts that day worth from twenty to fifty thousand dollars, all of which belonged to Northern men. When the enemy marched out of town in the evening, several of our officers who had been captured were taken with them. Among them was Major Fullerton, of the Second Illinois cavalry, and several whose names I have been unable to learn. As the column passed through the streets, several ladies of the best families in the town, though known to be secessionists, came out and requested Van Dorn and his officers to treat the prisoners kindly, because that during their own rule in Holly Springs they had acted like gentlemen. Let it be recorded in honor of the women of Holly Springs, that though their prejudices may be in the wrong side, t
angerously wounded in the ankle, while gallantly supporting the skirmishers. He has since died. Lieutenant McKay, of company H, was seriously wounded in the arm, while leading his company after his captain fell. Lieutenant Philpot, of company A, fell dangerously wounded, while sustaining the charge of his company. Lieutenant Norris, of company K, fell mortally wounded, (since dead,) while nobly leading his company after his captain had fallen. Lieutenants John B. Sloan, of company D ; Fullerton, of company F; Pratt, of company G; Cheshire, of company K; Holcomb, of company A; Dixon, of company C; Mace, of company H, who passed through uninjured, deserve great credit for the coolness and bravery displayed by them throughout the engagement. To Lieutenant Robertson, company B, commander of the infirmary corps, the regiment is greatly indebted for the prompt and timely assistance afforded the wounded during the thickest of the fight. This corps worked all night, carrying off the

o the highest ground. There he was observing with his field glass till he drew the fire of a battery. The skirmishing on both sides had grown into brisk and rapid firing just as I was approaching Sherman, Newton and his staff with me. Our group, so large, attracted attention. A hostile battery of several guns was quickly turned upon us. The shells began to burst over our heads at our right and left. One of them disabled the horse of Colonel Morgan, my senior aid, another that of Colonel Fullerton, my adjutant general; Newton's aid, Captain Jackson, was wounded; two orderlies' horses were disabled, and still another horse belonging to the headquarters' cavalry was crippled. One piece of a shell in the air slightly wounded Captain Bliss, also of Newton's staff, carrying away the insignia of rank from his shoulder. It was evident, as there was fighting along the front of two divisions — which had been increased and reenforced — that the Confederates were making a strong stand
t of the Cassville Confederate works. Hooker's troops had done the same thing as mine, but on the direct Adairsville and Cassville road. Palmer's corps, off to my right, had at least one division (Baird's) deployed. About this time a deserter came into our lines and reported that Johnston had received reinforcements of 6,000 men. Just at this juncture we reckoned his forces to be fully 70,000 strong. With reference to the Fourth Corps, which I commanded, the journal of Lieutenant Colonel Fullerton, my adjutant general, has given an animated account of the series of combats which took place between Kingston and Cassville: 3.50 P. M., advance commenced.... The enemy was driven by us. We again took up the march in column, and again met the enemy one mile beyond his first position at 5.30 P. M.; 5.40 P. M., General Sherman ordered General Howard to put thirty or forty pieces of artillery in position; to form two or three brigades in line of battle; then to shell the woods
