no suspicion was entertained of our advance, and that there were strong hopes of our effecting a complete surprise, and attacking the enemy before the large detachments encamped at various points in the surrounding country could rejoin the main body. I therefore endeavored to reach Bentonville, 11 miles distant, by a rapid march; but the troops moved so very slowly that it was 11 A. M. before the head of the leading division (Price's) reached the village, and we had the mortification to see Siegel's division, 7,000 strong, leaving it as we entered. Had we been an hour sooner, we should have cut him off with his whole force, and certainly have beaten the enemy the next day. We followed him, our advance skirmishing with his rear guard, which was admirably handled, until we had gained a point on Sugar Creek, about seven miles beyond Bentonville, and within one or two miles of the strongly entrenched camp of the enemy. In conference with Generals McCulloch and McIntosh, who had

House of Representatives. Friday, April 18, 1862. The House met at 12 o'clock, and was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Jeter. Journal of yesterday read. Mr. Kenner, of La., from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill entitled "an act making further appropriations for the expenses of the Government." Upon this bill he moved that the House go into secret session, but withdrew his motion for the reception of a report from the Military Committee. Mr. Davis, of Miss., offered a resolution to rescind the resolution adjourning the House on Monday next; but, as objection was made, no action was had upon the subject. Mr. Miles, of S. C., from the Military Committee, reported an original bill in lieu of one referred to the committee, entitled "an act to authorize the organization of bands of partisan rangers." The bill was taken up, engrossed, read a third time, and passed. Mr. Davis then moved that the House resolved itself into secret session; and t

y, and was endeavoring to form a junction with the division of Gen. McCulloch on Boston Mountain. For reasons which seemed to me imperative, I resolved to go in person and take command of the combined forces of Price and McCulloch. I reached their headquarters on the 3d of March, and being satisfied that the enemy, who had halted on Sugar Creek, 55 miles distant, was only awaiting large reinforcements before he would advance, I resolved to attack him at once. Accordingly, I sent for Gen. Pike to join me near Elm Springs with the forces under his command, and, on the morning of the 4th of March, moved with the divisions of Price and McCulloch, by way of Fayetteville and Bentonville, to attack the enemy's main camp on Sugar Creek. The whole force under my command was about 16,000 men. On the 6th we left Elm Springs for Bentonville, and from prisoners captured by our scouting parties on the 5th I became convinced that up to that time no suspicion was entertained of our advan

y's left, and be ere two o'clock it was evident that if his division could advance, or even maintain its ground, I could at once throw forward Price's left, advance his whole line, and end the battle. I sent him a dispatch to this effect, but it was never received by him;--before it was penned, his brave spirit had winged its flight, and one of the most gallant leaders of the Confederacy had fought his last battle. About three P. M., I received by aid-decamp, the information that Generals McCullock, McIntosh, and Col. Hebert, were killed, and that the division was without any head. I nevertheless pressed forward with the attack, and at sunset the enemy was flying before our victorious troops at every point in our front, and when night fell we had driven him entirely from the field of battle. Our troops slept upon their arms nearly a mile beyond the point at which he made his last stand, and my headquarters for the night were at the Elkhorn Tavern. We had taken during the day s

Most of the troops had been without food since the morning of the 6th, and the artillery horses were beaten out. It was, therefore, with no little anxiety that I awaited the dawn of day. When it came, it revealed to me the enemy in a new and strong position, offering battle. I made my disposition at once to accept
