Governor Recommends the Entire Evacuation of East lorida Tlie Rebels Probably at Randolph" A Great Plgbt in Prospect The Cairo correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says The western battle it seems to mo will be fought at Randolph (Tennessee) There is little danger on the Tennessee Two of our gunboats now on that river will prevent the erection of batteries At Corinth the junction of the Mo bile and Ohio and Memphis and Charleston Railroads undoubtedly a stand will be made bnt the issue there cannot be doubt fuL The descent of the Mississippi is with most reason feared by the rebels and to prevent this move by Com modore fleet they will bend all their en ergies and concentrate all their resources at some commanding point Island No 10 is a bugbear and is probably evacuated The rebels cannot make any fight there They will not make a stand at New Madrid or Hickman as there are no natural advantages for fortifications there The highest point oi land between New Madrid and Sikeston by actual survey is only twenty six feet above the water mark At Ran dolph there is a high bluff and nature has in other respects admirably qualified the site for purposesof fortification i is well ascertained that the heavy siege guns at Columbus were removed thither and that the rebels are rapidly fortifying Hundreds of negroes are at work night and day ting It they succeed in their efforts they will have rendered their works well nigh impregna ble at least to an attack of the gunboats Lt is doubtful however even with easemates wheth er they could long stand the fire of the mortars twenty of which at least could be made avail able there raining a shower of bombs day and night at the rate of one a minute The taking of orts Henry and Donelson and the admira ble results of the gunboats there do not neces sarily involve a similar result at Randolph In the former instances our boats fought against open batteries Neither should people imagine that because Columbus has been evacuated the approach to Memphis will be undisputed A desperate battle must occur necessarily and the locality combining all the infonnationil receii will be at Randolph Its locality and its rela tion to Memphis any of your readers can trace upon the war maps That this fact is appreciated by Commodore oote is evidenced by his refusal to go into ac tion again until the boats are thoroughly repair ed thejmortars mounted and everything in complete readiness This is now nearly accom plished' pilot houses Of all the boats have been strengthened by an additional eight Incbee of wood All defects as revealed by former ac tions have been remedied as far as practicable and a very few days will see the whole fleet aa good as new and ready for another encounter (With the rebel Serious Accident on the Hudson Blwer Railroad rom the EveningPost A special train on the Hudson River Railroad which left Albany on Saturday morning for this city having on board the Ninety fourth Regi ment of New York Volunteers Colonel Veile met With serious accident when near Tivoli by which four of the regiment and a lad were drowned and twenty five others wounded three of them seriously The particulars are as follows: At about three in the afternoon when about a mile this side of Tivoli a rail brokeupenthe trestle work over a creek precipitating the baggage car and two others into the river about five feet below with such force as to drive the cars through ana partially under the ice The engine broke from the train and passed safely over The baggage was' almost entirely submerged two persons slightly wounded and every thingLf A damaged' by water Three horses ou board were saved The car occupied by the band was rolled over and two persons wounded and a lot of new instrumentsnearly ruined The next car occupied by Company was thrown from the trestle work smaeheaand driven partlaUy'Ainder fee drowning five persona and several others About one hundred rifles were render ed Th nUn war nt by the tspfwi ICeattnssd psgv) occupying the extensive bluffto the left of Elk Horn where they had batteries planted which commanded the corn fields and bottom lands on this side The open woods a mile this Bide of the town were also occupied by the enemy in formidable numbers They hadbatteries planted in all available positions com manding the approaches from this side Gen Curtis designed to open the ball at daybreak and gave the necessary orders for a change of front the left wing having to be moved obliquely forward KiThe cannonade opened twenty five minutes past seven on CoL division and the portion of the latter engaged fell back Gen Davis advanced on the main road and took posi tion on the right wing while Col Carr moved to the centre and a desultory fire was kept up for a short time About eight General division marched into the field and took position on the left wing BUs batteries were planted along the elevations in this portion of the field with alternate regiments of Infantry The lino as now formed was concave with the wings advanced toward the enemy while sev en batteries were planted along its whole length No more beautiful spectacle could be conceived than the magnificently stern array" presented by our line of battle The utmost confidence was at once restored and our men felt re assured that victory waa in our reach The bluffs occupied by the enemy on the right were covered with the eecesh as thick aS they could stand while the intervening woods in front of onr centre were alive with them Our batteries were soon opened all along the lineand a perfbet wall of fire blazed out In rolling volumes The bnemy replied promptly with his batteries with little effect except disabling one of gune The murderous cross fire of our batteries crushed through the tim ber with terrific effect The cannonade was terrible for two hours and a half during which time the infantry advanced slowly under cover of bur fire from the batteries As soon aa the enemy broke the infantry advanced with a yell in double quick sending volley upon volley of well aimed musketry The Twelfth Missouri rushed forward and charged on a bat tery in the heavy timber capturing three guns and a flag belonging to the Dallas Artillery The Twenty second Indiana also captnred a gnu and two caissons All this time General Sigel gushed the right flank while General 'avis and Colonel Carr drove forward his left flank The fight became general and the ravine near the Elk Horn Taven was thronged with the flying enemy The bluffs on the left forming a natural fortification where they had several regiments and a battery posted were stormed by Colonel Brigade The precipice here is seventy five feet high The Twelfth ifteenth and Seventeenth Missouri and Thirty sixth Illinois scaled the hill and drove the enemy out the brigade losing only eight men killed and twenty two wounded The top of the bluff was completely covered with their dead and wounded from our spherical case shot and shells The arms and accoutrements were scattered lu all i directions A prisoner taken here stated that Van Dorn had not been seen for two hours and they thought it time to leave The victory was complete The retreating enemy was pur sued for two miles by Company of battalion and the pursuit was kept up by the Benton Hussars and General Sigel to Keetsville Prisoners including officers were taken in large numbers Our loss in the battle was com paratively small but the was terribly severe Ve killed General Sluck and young Clark eon of Merriwether Clark of St Louis who had his head taken off by a cannon He commanded a battery gallantly and had Jilst given the order to retreat when a ball struck him on his horse Lieutenant Colonel McCul loch son of the General was also found among the dead with his commission lu his pocket near Elk Horn Tavern A seeesh doetor who came afterwards into our camp relates that on the morning of the battle he observed about 300 Indians daubing their faces all over black from the coal of the cnarred stumps The doctor inquired of one the chiefs the significance of painting thus nauu he was answered that Indians when go ing into a tight painted their faces red but when they are pinched with hunger they color These fellows have had nothing to eat in two days McCulloch was killed in the brush on a slight elevation on the opposite side of the field by Peter Pelican a private in company Thirty sixth Illinois The attack in which the ubiqui tous Ben was taken off was led by Capt Mil ler McCnllocn wore a dress of black velvet patent leather high top boots and he had on a light colored broad brimmed Texan hat He was on a light bay horse Pelican went np and took a good watch now in possession of Col Greusel our of negroes were captured by Colonel irst Missouri Cavalry field glass was taken and used during the remainder of the battle by General Davis to make observations Pea Ridge March 14 1862 EA RIDGE Pea Ridge on which the battle was fought varies in breadth from two to five miles ana extends some fourteen or fifteen miles and so uneven are its surfaces that no one can see for more than a few hundred yards at a time tn consequence of the intervening trees A small settlement including some half a dozen houses to which the name of Leetown has been given is on the Ridge and also three or four farm houses all of which were deserted before the engagement began The banks of iSugar Creek are not steep and as the stream is small it is easy to cross even with artillery The battle began on the lower Bide of the creek and was soon after transferred to the up per and on the second and third days was con ducted towards the east with occasional shift ings to the west including a scope of at least eight or ten miles THE EDERAL ARMY Our effective force could not have been more than twelve thousand on the day of the first en gagement and was composed of Indiana Illi nois Iowa Ohio and Missouri troops The army waa divided into three divisions under the command of General Samuel Curtis a brave and patriotic officer ruit Prospects It is of course rather early to predicate an opinion on the

At two the enemy endeavored to flaukus when a new line was formed and the front was changed along the north side of an open field facing the enemy Three regiments or rebel infantry and a regiment of rebel cavalry bad outflanked onrposition They ad vanced and poured in a terrific fire while the grapeshot from their batteries swept through our ranks crash after crash At this time the ammunition gave ont of our battery and the latter was taken from the field A sect ion of a German battery was brought into the field to take the place of the irst Iowa Battery The fighting raged until our regiments were badly cut up when an order was received to move to an open field a mile nearer to our camp The enemy pursued and the cannonade did not cease in that direction till dark In abandoning our position held in the morning fears were entertained that the enemy wonld inithe exul tation of supposed victory surprise our camp during the night Our men fought gallantly all day without flinching as is evident by the loss sustained The enemy had fifteen thousand to dur three thousand five hundred a disparity of force almost unequaled Some Quartermaster etores at Elk Horn Tavern fell

detachments of cavalry and got them in position when the cavalry re turned Of two hundred and fifty men com posing the Third Iowa which went into the charge forty were killed and wounded The enemy having taken three pieces and pressed us closely we fell back to a large open field a quarter of a mile west of Leeville where the Second Brigade of General division under Colonel Greusel of the Thirty sixth Illi nois had taken position early in the day The cavalry stampede caused confusion but order was soon restored by Colonel Greusel who com menced throwing shot and shell from Battery on the cavalry just on the point of makingia charge Colonel Greusel then threw forward Captains Miller and Park hufrst of companies and Thirty sixth Illi nois as skirmishers to find the position of the enemy in the brush men advanced in fine style firing on the pickets just as he discovered eix regiments in line Here it is claimed that Ben McCulloch was killed by Pe ter Pelican a renchman who saw him roll off his horse the battle near leetown This hotly contested engagement fought the same day at Leetown two miles north of our camp resulting in the death of McCulloch and McIntosh had an important bearing on the gen eral result It served to keep the enemy divid ed and prevented a large reinforcement partici pating in the action at Elk Horn Tavern The battle was opened in the morning by General Osterhaus oi Geheral division who was sent by General Curtis to observe the enemv in that vicinity About 9 Colonel Bussey with the Third Iowa Cavaly Colonel Ellis with the irst Missouri

fired with telling ef fect on the enemy who were seen to fall Gen Osterhaus then ordered Col Bussey to eendfor warda detachment of cavalry to charge the en emy in the road The cavalry charged forward along a narrow road the cannon still firing ob liquely They were gallantly led forward by Lieutenant Colonel Trimble the men cheering As they swept down the narrow defile about 250 rebel infantry fired upon them from an am bush within twenty feet of the road This deadly fire was succeeded by an attack of rebel cavalry who charged on them and also on the battery Our cavalry wheeled on the latter and emptied a number of saddles But we were badly cut to pieces and the Benton Hussars were ordered to the support of the Third Iowa At this time the battery was captured by the enemy who rushed from the bush Meantime the Third Iowa not being reinforced fought their way through the rebel infantry and were cut off trim all succor At this juncture 11 A General Davis arrived bringing the Third Division aioug iuc eeeiuwn roaa coming into rne Helu which was surrounded by woods on all sides General Osterhaus being on his left the General sent forth a line of skirmishers extending across

A GLORIOUS VICTORY After three hard fighting against 30000 rebels commanded by their ablest Generals we have won a victory decisive of important re sults We have killed three Generals stam peded the rebel army and produced a moral ef fect in the first battle on Arkansas soil that will be of great advantage to the national cause The enemy himself offered battle choosing his own ground and we have whipped him out and ut terly demoralized his forces or some days prior to the battle General Curtis whose headquarters were at Osage Springs determined to retire and occupy a stronger position on Sugar Creek in anticipa tion that the enemy after retreat would probably rally and attempt to roll back the tide setting against him About the first of the month General Davis renaired with the Third Division to Sugar Creek Colonel Carr remain ed at Cross Hollows twelve miles in front while General Sigel was encamped on the ex treme right at Camp Cooper near Bentonville fourteen miles to Sugar Creek and twelve to Cross Hollows our lines thus forming a tri angle I IRST NEWS THE REBELS ADVANCING On Wednesday the 5th Gen Curtis received reliable intelligence that the rebels were advanc ing and intended to make an attack the next morning They were reported to have seventy pieces of artillery and a force numbering from 35000 to 40000 men Their pickets were at Elm Springs eight miles distant Several of uur xurugiug jjaiucs iu aiau uu euiiou weretaaen in GEN CURTIS CONCENTRATES HIS ARMY In pursuant of his original design General Curtis ordered Col Carr and Gen Sigel to move immediately and form a junction with General Davis at Sugar Creek Colonel Carr moved his division across the divide the same night Owing to a lack of transportation some of our stores and Dr medical chest containing his surgical instruments were left behind ana destroyed SIGEL WITH HIS REAR GUARD CUTS HIS WAY THROUGH THE ENEMY Early Thursday morning division was moving from Camp Cooper beyond Benton ville for Sugar Creek His rear guard com posed of the Twelfth Missouri Infantry Capt battalion of cavalry attached to the Thirty sixth Illinois two companies Benton Hussars and six pieces of flying artillery Al battery) left camp at 6 A The main column marched through Bentonville without observing any indications of the enemy Gen Sigel and staff together with the rear guard arrived at Bentonville in an hour and a half While resting here a black line was observed on the prairies towards the south which at first attracted no particular attention Sigel with his glass soon became convinced that the line was in motion Soon secesh flags were seen moving on Bentonville and the prairie became black with the rebel masses ot cavalry and in fantry The rebel cavalry moved rapidly and deploying to the right and left surrounded the town Clouds of cavalry were still observed advancing at rapid speed Sigel moved forward the rear guard across a ravine on tho margin of the town and the opposite side of the ravine was occupied by the rebels who came rushing up with a yell Noticing that they had formed on his rear he detached four companies of cavalry to hold them in check Opening his lines right and left he sent his artillery to the front to meet a force drawn up in line of battle a mile out of town Turning to Captain Jenks who had come forward to support the battery Sigel said Captain the enemy are on our front ou either side of us and all around Then raising his bead to a level with his shoulder and lunging it down with each sentence ex claimed We must advance we must cut our way and concluded emphatic ally We shaft cut bur way Sigel then got off his horse and personally super intended the planting of the pieces in position He opened fire on the enemy in front every shot having a telling effect on the ranks which faltered and fell back In the woods A rapid advance of our column then took place the enemy seeming to retreat on either side but instead they made a detour and formed again two miles further on at the en trance of a deep gorge On reaching this posi tian it was found they were supported by a large body of infantry whose advance preceded our arrival by taking a shorter read The in fantry were placed in ambuscade covered by tho crest of a hill Our troops pushed forward into the gorge along which the road runs when suddenly a galling fire of musketry was poured in along our whole line from the top of the hill along our left flauk The Twelfth Missouri charged up the hill in face of the fire and drove the rebels over tne hill During the charge Sigel ordered two pieces forward about a mile to a point where he could see the hill where the rebels supposed they were under cover The guns were masked by a grove and were not observed by the rebels As soon as this battery was plantedtwo cannon shots were fired from the head of the column in the valley producing no effect but deceiving the enemy A rapid advance of the whole column was then made and as we receded from the enemy the latter covered the hill in large numbers advancing in our rear The masked battery in front then opened on them the balls passing over our column still in the gorge which caused such destruction to the rebels that they scattered in all directions and ceased to molest us any further i CAPTURE COMPANY ILLINOIS THIRTY SIXTH Company Thirty sixth Illinois and part of Company A were left in charge of a broken down ammunition wagon and falling behind were surprised by 150 mounted secesh The latter tame up so suddenly that they were taken for our men when the leader shouted out Lay down your arms or we will kill every man of Onr men having no one to command obeyed the rebel order threw down their arms and delivered themselves up About fifty sur rendered A company of the Twelfth Missouri coming up directly after fired a volley into the secesh and nearly all of the Illinois boys made their escape in face of a fire of the enemy Twenty two of the number including Lieuten ant Walker and Sergeant Douglas are still prisoners The dead bodies of the secesh were observed lining the road near rear guard as the attack of tbe gallant Twelfth occurred near where Sigel planted his batteries the first time THE ORIGINAL POSITION ON SUGAR CREEK' The valley of Sugar Creek runs nearly east and west and we were posted on the bluffs on the northern side in a position affording great natural advantages against the attack of the ene my from the south Batteries were planted the bluffs some breastworks were thrown up and a traverse battery was erected so as to throw a cross fire on an enemy approaching through the valley The enemy seemed to have too good evidence of our position to attempt an attack on this formidable side THE ENEMY LANK OUR POSITION Intelligence was received Thursday night that they were marching on onr flank by the Ben tonville road Tuesday morning a large force was ascertained to have taken position directly on our rear at Elk Hom Tavern between three and four miles from Sugar Creek Valley The enemy were also ascertained to be pouring in at this point along a road behind Leetown in countless numbers GENERAL CURTIS VHANGE3 RONT Gen Curtis impressed with the critical con dition of affairs changed his front to rierht an gles to our former position Colonel Carr was immediately sent forward with his division to EikHoru to attempt a dislodgement of the en emy under Pries and Van Dorn at the same time that "the forces under McCulloch and Mfc Intosh pressing forward to join tbe former were observed by Generals' 1 Davis and Sigel in the TAAfnSrn a
