According to the admUsions of th rebel etiici rs' the casualties from the attack by the Cartmleiit were grca cr than thote a resulted from i attack of the whole di et toe next day. Tne attemnt niadcat the surne time to storm the Title pit, by Col. iIoBitisc.1, was a tery gallant, but secmiugly an advbed operation.

About tie only result was, that a single gua of the enemy was ami the nnequaled fightliiK qualities of the fleet riemon-; attaied.

The whole conflict of the morning so fcr as the right wing concerned, was generally in favor the enemy. One regiment was completely Touted, and the re-st, from lack of ammunition In soire i the overpowering force of the enemy other, were driven back a distance of two miles.

Toward night, a Charge of the Eighth Missouri and Eleventh Indiana, under Col. Smith, drove the enemy ck at the point of the bayonet, rf gained the lost and recovered 8ariTs andcAutiK's ntalteries, which kad been captured by, or abandoned urn enemy in the course of the day. But the most gallant operation of the whole day, nd la fact or the whole siege, waa that in which Geo. on tho left, carried a portion ef the enemy's breastwork at the point of the bayonet, i A Brigade, uodtr CoL Coos. o( the Seventh Ulu Sols, was ordered to make a demonstration near the of Cen.

One of the most terrible things connected with the fight is the burning to death of some of our wounded. In severs! places the woods were set on fire from the wads in the rbcl shot-guns which swept over place, where our wounded had fallen. a number of bodies were found whose clothing had burned who! IV or nearly off. This feature is almost too korrible for credence, yet there is no doubt of its entire truthful-ners. It is also believed that during Thursday night several of our wounded soldiers, who had fallen in out of the way places and were unable to drag them selves bark to camp, were frozen to death.

It is not belieted thV there will beany fight of mag nitu'le at Ciarksville. The rebel officers say IhJ somewhere between Ciarksville and Nsnhvllle the National troops will be met by a force of not less than lOO.OOT men. if so, another fight, and one of no In considerable megnitude, is in prospect.

THTJRSDAT MIGHT. The nlsht of Thursday will long be rem-intered by the troops of the command surrounding io nelson. The weather which, for the two previous days, bad been so mild and genial, toward the clone of the rurnnnn heca-n i rhlllv and lowerlne.

About 6 o'clock a heavy rain set in. During the warmth of the day before, when momentarily expecting to meei the ncmy, whole regiments had cast aside Lielr overcoats and blankets, and without tents, and, in a great maioritv of ca.es. oeeuDvinc positions rendering a fire a sure mark for the enemy's batteries, and with nothing to eat but cold rations, their condition was de plorable indeed. To add to their discomfort, when thoroughly satu rated with rain, a pelting snow storm set in, continu Ins ailnirht.

The weather of Friday was in striking contrast to that cf tl morning previous.

The groanu was covered with snow to the depth of a couple of inches, and a breeze tna: wouiu n.tvo aor.c i.onor to the Arc tic regions swept across tne desolate mtge upon which our army was lying. The inhabitants of the coun'ry round about averred that they had rarrU- ex pcrienccd so severe a day. Still was our force on the outer edge of the formidable works that, wander where one might, he was sure to find rising up br.orv him. The entrance to works was still to be gained tbe location even of the -Joor waa still to be found. I must admit, that ridaig alone our lines on Frldav again, and witnessing tne.

formidable field works of the enemy (between Ave and six miles ii extent) which reine themselves everyw here lo tUe front of us, I feared thai the task of reducin- them would be at the best a matter of considerable time. lint, cold and hungry, and with garment? Hh irusj, tut soldiers were still hopeful and firm. I did not find a single discouraged man, or one, if be were so, tht would admit it. The universal sentiment was, as bluff Co'.

(irtti-, eanisler and st rapnell, and an uninterrupted mu-keuy fire fro.11 tlie First Forty-eighth and Fifty-eirhth Ohio, proved too much for the so-far victorious aod they at last were obliged to retre. Bv th.s time it was noon. Gen. Gjuxt id just re-tiirrieti from the landing, where he had a oonfe-snoe with Commodore Foots. That officer hao informed the trenerai that It as Impossible for him to put his gunboats In a condition to make another attack for several days at lexst.

Notwithstanding tnis, upon being Lnforiiied of the severe repulse our troops had met with lit the morning, he saw ttiat ridm immediate action on our part was necessary to retrieve the day. lie immediatrly gave orders to his Generals of Pit Lsions to prcnare for an immediate and general at tack along tne entire lines. The regime.its whicn had suffered most severely in tbe morning were wiih-Crawit. Gen. Lew Wallace was given a division composed of twa regiments of his own brigade (tlie Eichth Missouri and Eleventh Indiana) and several regiments, hose loss in tbe morning had been but slight, ana was given lae joc 01 clearing tae ground we had los in the morning, while Gen.

When he received his long-desired orders lor an assault of the enemv's works, his eyes glistened with a fire which, could it have been seen by his maligners, would have left them in no doubt as to his private ireungs in regaru 10 tne present contest, i ah tne arrangements were complete by 3 o'clock, End hit column was out in motion soon after. The force under his command was as follows CaL Cook't Engadr Seventh Illinois, Fiftieth Illinois, Twelfth Iowa, Thirteenth Missouri, Fifty-sec-end Indiana. Col. liii-in' BriRadt Second Iowa, Seventh Iowa, Fourteenth Iowa, Twenty-fifth Indiana, Fifty-sixtli Indiana. I'udcr cover cf Capt Stosb'e Missouri battery, this force be -ran the assault.

It was a formidable undertaking, which, miller a less brave and skillful com- raai.Cer than tirn. Suitu, might have proved a disastrous failure. Tne hills at this point are among the most precipitous of all those nron which tbe enemy weie posted. Selecting the Second and Seventh Iowa, and the Fifty-second Indiana lor the storming parly, 'n. Sarru iefWted the iiii iln portion of his civisioii to rignt, and having succeeded in gaining the attention of the enemy at this point, himself heaurd the storrning party, and advanced upon the works from hi i extreme left.

It was a most magnificent sighL Unappr.lled by the perfect storm of bullets which rail ed aoout him, the General on horseback, and with his hat 011 the point of his sword, preceded his troops, and inspired then, with a funut there was no standing vilh. Steadily, with unbroken Line, the gallant Hawk eyes and Indianians advanced. Tne enemy's grape and oarisier cum plowing through their ranks, but not a shot was fired in return. Closinr up the ranks as one after another of the brave fellows dropped to tiic earth, and animated oy the fearless example of their undaunted leader, they pressed steadily on. Tne works gained, one tremendous volley was poured into the astoiiithed enemy, and, wiih bxed bayonets, a charge was made into their ranks which there was no withstanding.

They fled in confusion over the hills anJ at las-twc had peue'rateJ the rebel Sebas-topo), and the misfortunes of the morning were retrieved. Capt.
