Sir.: In obedience to your order re
(miring me to furnish a report of the part
taken by my brigade in the late battle of
Perryville, I have the honor herewith to
submit the tollowing
As ordered I had massed my brigade
in the edce ot a dense wood, joining (jen
Kousseau's right, to await your orders.
Precisely at ll! o'clock. P.M., I received
orders, directly from Maj. Gen. Gilbert,
Commanding .Jrd Corps de Army, to tiro
ceed immediately to the support of Gen
McCook oq my lett. 1 then proceed
ed at doublo quick, in the direction of
where General McCook s forces were
engaged. On reaching the field I
found the forces badly cut up, and re
treating (they theu having fallen back
near one mile), and were weiry. Hr!"
nresaed by the enemy. Alter receiving
instructions from General McCook, J or
doed my brigade forward into the light:
the -2d Indiana taking position on the
right, the 59th Illinois on the left, and
75th Illinois in the centre, aud the hatte
Col Keith of the 22d Indiana. Until he
f ll from liis horso he was everywhere in
tho thickest of the fight. Vhere the
battle raged hottest, he was to ho found
animating and cheering nis meu by his
lofty words and nob'e example. J In w as
universally loved by all who knew lnui,
and his loss is much regretted. In his
example there is every thing, worthy of
imitation..
Major Winters, of the .Vjlh Illinois, has
my grateful thanks for the coolness and
courage which he displayed during the
tie displayed a pa-
e that is highly wor
thv of dm ;ati'ii
Lieut.' West, of the .".'.)! h Illinois, and
A. A. G., is entitled to great credit for
timely aid he afforded me, and for the
energy and promptness villi which he
delivered my orders. During the action
he was wounded in five different places,
and did r.ot quit the held till entirely
disabled.
Lieut. Adams, and Acting Adjutant of
tho 22d Indiana, is also a worthy young
ofiicer. He had his horse shot from nn-
dt.r hiin, and though wounded himself,
he i t mained on the fit lil, preserving great
coolness ond ca.niness ot mind, and cou-
st.tntiy urging his men forward. Also,
mu'-li tha:iks is due to "Orderly" Gray,
for his courage, promptness, and energy
in deliTerii.g my orders.
Captain 1 inner, of the otli Wisconsin
I'aiterr, cannot he spoken of too highly
in this report, lie delivered his orders
with great coolness and deliberation, and
his buttery did great execution in forcing
the rebels from their position. The fol
lowing is a list of casualties:
Of tho 22d lndiana there were engaged
000, killed 55. wounded missing 10;
total loss 107.
Of the 50th Illinois there were engaged
25, killed Ai), wounded 03, missing 12;
total loss 153.
Of the 75th Illinois there were engaged
700, killed 47, wounded 102, missing 12;

Of the trigade there were engaged

Very respectfully, I am, General, your
obedient servant. M. GOODING,

Our Victory at Corinth.
The following is an extract from ;t let
ter of a subaltern in General Guam's
army to his father in St. Louis, dated
11th October :
The loss of the rebels at Corinth is nine
times greater than ours their loss 2KX)
killed, as many wounded, and between
2,000 and 3,000 prisoners. At Hatehic,
the loss in killed and wounded about
equal, say 500; but we captured .'500

This would bo supposed to bo the case
with regard to imported goods but it
might bo thought that other articles,
those that arc raised here, could be

hardly so, however. Hominy whicli

The lato attack on James's Island wasj
very near settling- the business for this
city. Had Gen. Penl,am had 500 fresh
soldiers ho would have carried that bat
tery, and then tho way had been easy.
It is regarded as a wonderful thiug that
they did not carry it. They fought like
tigers, and nothing but the timely arrival
of a Louisiana battalion saved the South
Carolina chivalry from biting tho dust.
There is great glorification among tint
multitude at the late battle in whicli Mc
Clellan was driven back but among th
knowing ones thero ii an evident cha
grin that the attack, desperate as it was,
failed of it's object iu great part. Th
loss was tremendous on this side. The;
papers do not and will not give tho ag
gregate, but reports -, enough of parts of
the forces engaged have been made to
show a loss of nearly li fly per cent. Ib
is sale to say that :)5,00 wero killed and
wounded on this side.
The present population of Kichmond,
in wounded and sick soldiers, is quite
equal to its ordinary population in time
of peace. My own impression is that it
the National Government does anything;
like its duty at this juncture, the Cap
ital of tho Confederate States will fall,
and tho rebellion is quashed. But every
exertion under heaven will bo made W
hold it to the last gasp. A present at
tack is wht is demanded.
This town might have been taken by a
proper attack any time: tho past year.
Three Monitors would do it. You havo
no idea of the secret anxiety in the heart
of Union men here that the attack should!
be hastened. Yet, should tho city ba
taken, there would be no outbursts of joy,
but, there would be a great inward rejoicing.
ihe Confederates once whipped in
Virginia, and you will hear one prolong
ed shout for the; downfall of this damna
ble Government, from New Orleans t
Fortress Monroe. There is no question
that there is a very large number of Un
iou men in these States who would be
glad to fchow themslves such if they could
do so without personal peril and without

In your last letter you say that the
correspondents of the Press censure Gen.
Grant for not being in tho battle of Iuka.
The proper place for the Commanding
General is at the point most accessible to
all his divisions, which in that case was at
Durnsville the battle not becoming gen
eral because of the lltght of the enemy,
he was not therefore personally engaged.
The movements were as well planned and
as well executed as the very hilly coun
try, dense growth, bad roads, and small
force (all we could spare) would permit,
witli a long line, to protect this military
district standing out like a peninsula in
Ihe bay of Secessia.
At his headquarters at Jackson, Gen.
Grant was well informed, and rf iuforced
Corinth at the right time, and directed a
column on the rebel rear and flank, to
the great rtlirf of Corinth and injury to
the i-m-my, as the result has demonstrated.
