One of tho greatest and bloodiest battles of modorn days has just closed, resulting in the completo rout of the ‘enemy, who attacked us at daybreak Sunday morning. ‘The baitle lasted witho:rt intermission during the evtire day and was again repewed on Monday morning, and ‘continued undecided until four o'clock im the aftaraven, when tho enciny commenced thoir retreat, and are stil! flying tewards Corinth, purenéd by a large force of our cavalcy.

Tt is impossible, in the present confused state of affairs, to ascertain any of the details; I therefore give you the best account possible from observation, baving passed through the storm of action during the two days that it raged. ‘The fight was brought on by a bedy of three bundred of the Twenty-fi’ch Missouri regiment, of Gen.

At five o'clock the rebels had forcet our tert wing ack €0 as to occupy fully two-thirds of oor camp, and were fighting their way forward with a desperate do- gree of confidence in their efforts to drive us into the river, and at the same time heavily engaged our right, Upto this time we had received no reinforcements, General Lew, Wallace faiting to come to our support wotil the day was over, having taken the wrong road from Croump’s Landing, and being without other trans ports than those used for Qu Commissary stores, which were too den to ferry amy considerable number of Geno ral Buell's forces across the river, those that wore here baving been sent to bring up the troops from Savaunah, We wero, therefore, contosting against fearful vmaster's and heavily In odds, ow force not exceeding thirty eight thousand men, while that of the enomy was upwards of sixty thousand, Our condition at thig moment was axt poly cuitient ination of the result of the straggle.

This last effort was too much for the enemy, and ere dusk bat set in the firmg had nearly coased, when, aight coming ou, all ‘the combatants rested from their awful work of blood and carnagy, . ‘Our moa reatod on their army ia the podition thoy had at the close of tho night, until the forces under Major Goueral Wallace arrived and took — posi- tion oa the right, and General Buell’s forves from the opposite side and Savannah now being conveyed to the battle ground. ‘The entire right of General Nei- son's division was ordered to form on the right, and tho forces under General Crittenden wore ordered (o his sup- port early in the morning. ‘fils SHCOND Day's BATTLE.
