t's Aid and several other officers. Returning in three parties with the prisoners, one party, consisting of sixty prisoners and ten guards, commanded by Lieutenant Owens, of my command, was attacked and pursued by the 4th regiment Ohio cavalry. After a pursuit of fifteen miles, during which the prisoners were abandoned, LieuLieut. Owens succeeded in reaching the river with his party, and, plunging in from a steep bank, swam the river with their horses and made their escape — the river arresting the progress, of the enemy. During the pursuit many shots were fired by the enemy, but without effect. Two of the prisoners who resisted officers were shot. Four of Lieut. Owens's men, who were in danger of being overtaken, turned off in the woods, and as yet have not made their appearance. Col. Wood, with fourteen men and twenty-eight prisoners, succeeded in crossing the country and reaching our pickets near Murfreesboro' the same night, having passed within a mile of the enemy's cava
ined men can make a stand against gunboats. We give the main portion of the report, as a lesson to other commanders and soldiers. About 5 P. M. on the 22d of March, the boats were seen coming, and Captain Strain, and Lieut. Chambers, of Captain Owens's cavalry company, judiciously scattered their men, about sixty in number, for half a mile along the banks of the river, with instructions to reserve their fire until all the boats should come within range. The foremost boat attempted to lanhem indicated a heavy loss to the enemy. The two most injured I had destroyed, the other three have been sent up the river for security. The troops engaged were detachments from companies E and H, Third regiment Florida Volunteers, from Captain Owens's company and Captain Cone's volunteer company. I cannot close without heartily commending their coolness and resolute determination, and the accuracy of their aim. At a distance of three or four hundred yards they killed or wounded at least

gning "Z," commenced calling "B," which I had ascertained by the books in the office, was the signal for the Lebanon office, I answered the call, when the following conversation between "Z" and myself ensued: "To Lebanon: What news; any more skirmishing after your last message? Z." "To Z: No, We drove what little cavalry there was away. B." "To B, Has the train arrived yet? Z." "To Z, No About how many troops on the train? B," "To B. 500 — 6th Indians commanded by Col. Owens. Z." My curiosity being exited as to what station "Z" was, and to ascertain without creating any suspicious, I adopted the following plan: "To 'Z:' A gentleman here in the office bets me the cigars you cannot spell the name of your station correctly." "To 'B:' Take the bet: L-e-b-a-n-o-n J-u-n-c-t-i-o-n. Is that not right? How did he think I would spell it?" "To 'Z:' He gives it up. He thought you would put two B's in Lebanon." "To 'B:' Ha! Ha! He is a green." "
Brigadier-General Philos is reported to have initiated in New Orleans the example set by Major- General Hunter on the coast of South Carolina. Brigadier General G. N. Fitch is stated in the same journals to have murdered, in cold blood, two peaceful citizens because one of his men, while invading our country, was killed by some unknown person while defending his home. I am instructed by the President of the Confederate States to repeat the inquiry relative to the cases of Mumford and Owens, and to ask whether the statements in relation to the action of Generals Hunter, Phelps, and Fitch are admitted to be true, and whether the conduct of these Generals is sanctioned by their Government. I am further directed by his Excellency, the President, to give notice that, in the event of not receiving a reply to these inquiries within fifteen days from the delivery of this letter, it will be assumed that the alleged facts are true, and are sanctioned by the Government of the United

isoners. The Yankees applied this morning for an armistice, which, I believe, was not granted. The fight of Saturday last was the largest of the war. We had about 50,000 troops engaged, and the Yankees some 80,000, but with the usual result. We whipped them badly. Our brigade suffered severely. Gen. Mahone was wounded early in the action; Col Weisiger was badly, and, I expect, mortally wounded a short time afterwards; Major May killed; Adjutant Cameron, Capt. Lewellen, Captain Marks, Capt. Owens, and Lieut. May, wounded.--The casualties in the regiment, which numbered in the fight about 220, were 7 --a pretty large percentage. George Nicholas and Marx Myers were killed. Sergeant Heth, A. K. Crump, James Grame, George W. Hill, James Hollingsworth, A. P. Rogers, Bolling Pickett, and Tom Williams, wounded. The wounds are mostly slight. I think Crump's is probably the worst. He is wounded in the knee. The surgeons say that the bone is not broken, and he will not lose his leg, b
