The column had passed Cedar enemy had pushed between us and Winchester, Gen. Hatch was ordered to advance with all his availablines of the enemy, now advanced to the pike, Gen. Hatch, satisfied that this result could not be accor their intrepid charges upon the enemy. Gen. Hatch deserves great credit for the manner in whiciddletown, so as to enable the cavalry under Gen. Hatch to join the column, or to cover entirely thee of occupying a position in flank or rear. Gen. Hatch sent a detachment of cavalry to intercept th regiment ordered by Gen. Banks to report to Gen. Hatch, commanding rear-guard, if practicable. Thihich I held. At this time I was joined by Gen. Hatch, who had, by a circuitous pathway, been ableter all had passed except the cavalry, under Gen.

dition. The corn looks better. The Colonel took a large number of prisoners; but as they were infantry, disarmed them, destroyed their guns, and told them to go home. Most of them were glad to obey. He had no time to lose in bringing them off. Many amusing incidents occurred on the trip. While destroying some rebel quartermaster's stores at one place a Texan came up, and said: My friend, what are you destroying this property for? are the Yankees coming? He was answered they were, by Col. Hatch. Says he: How near? Very close; <*>t you see them? Heavens! An't you confederates? Not much. Before they arrived at Boonville, the advanced guard met two lieutenants of Tennessee rebel cavalry. They rode up to our boys, most happy to see them, until they awoke to a realizing sense of their huge sell. Going on, they came upon a lot of rebel deserters being escorted back to Corinth by rebel cavalry, bagged both, dismounted the cavalry, and let the deserters ride. Then it was the jo
n they had brought along. In less than twenty minutes a quarter of a mile of the track was thus destroyed, when an order was received from Col. Elliott directing Col. Sheridan to join him at Booneville. In the mean time the Second Iowa, Lieut.-Col. Hatch, commanding, under the immediate supervision of Colonel Elliott, had entered the town, where they found one locomotive and a train of twenty-six cars, containing large quantities of ordnance, ordnance stores, quartermasters' property, commie, temporarily in command of Colonel Sheridan, was directed to proceed the shortest possible road from near Blackland to Baldwin. It did so, and arrived at the latter point on the following morning at four o'clock, finding the enemy gone. Lieut.-Col. Hatch was then ordered with a battalion each of the Second Michigan and Second Iowa, to proceed toward Guntown and feel the position of the enemy. He came upon his rear, one and a half miles from Guntown, and his bold advance forced the rebels o
on towards our right and left, we continued fighting probably an hour after every other regiment had left the ground. The consequence was inevitable. We were surrounded by ten times our number, and though we could have fought till every man of us was slain, yet humanity and, as I think, wisdom dictated that we should at last yield. Our casualties, so far as known, were as follows: Officers killed--Captain Meves--1. Officers wounded--Captain Mulford; Lieutenants Roberts, Eldridge, Hatch, Ridgway, Myers and Shaw--7. Enlisted men, killed,37 Enlisted men, wounded,104   Total killed,38 Total wounded,111   Total killed and wounded,149 Besides seventy-five missing, of whom a number probably was killed and wounded. Considering the great jeopardy in which we were, I look upon it as a great mercy we all were not shot down. Kind remembrances and love to all. Affectionately, your brother, J. H. Simpson.

Miezner, Chief of the cavalry division, and to the officers and men of his command, the General Commanding here publicly tenders his acknowledgments. For courage, efficiency, and for incessant and successful combats, he does not believe they have any superiors. In our advance on Iuka, and during the action, they ably performed their duty. Col. Hatch fought and whipped the rebels at Peyton's Mills on the nineteenth, pursued the retreating rebel column on the twentieth, harassed their rear, and captured a large number of arms. During the action five privates of the Third Michigan cavalry, beyond our extreme right, opened fire, captured a rebel stand of colors, a captain and lieutenant, sent in the colors that night, alone held their prisoners during the night and brought them in next morning.
