March 20, 1862

After three days hard-fighting against 30,000 rebels, commanded by their ablest generals, we have won a victory decisive of important results. We have killed three generals, stampeded the rebel army, and produced a moral effect 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 utterly demoralized his forces.

For some days prior to the battle, General Curtis, whose headquarters was at Osage Springs, determined to retire and occupy a stronger position on Sugar Creek, in anticipation that the enemy, after Price's retreat, would probably rally and attempt to roll back the tide setting against him. About the first of the month, General Davis prepared with the third Division to Sugar Creek. Colonel Carr remained at Cross Hollows, twelve miles in front, while General Sigel was encamped on the extreme right, at Camp Cooper, near Bentonville, fourteen mules to Sugar Creek, and twelve to Cross Hollows-our lines thus forming a triangle.

On the 4th inst., Col. Vandever, with a detachment of cavalry, part of Col. Philp's regiment, and part of his own regiment, was sent on an expedition to Huntsville to reconnoiter the country, and camp Mitchell in the vicinity, which was ascertained to be evacuated, the rebel regiments having gone to join Price.

Capt. Stevens, of Bowen's battalion took in a quantity of sugar and other provisions, together with three secession flags and a snare drum. The salt found in camp was distributed among Union families.

Col. Vandever, learning from the report of prisoners taken, that the rebels in overwhelming force were marching to attack General Curtis, left for Sugar Creek, making a forced march of forty one miles, reaching the latter place next day in safety via War Eagle Creek.

On Wednesday, the 5th, Gen. Curtis received reliable intelligence that the rebels were advancing , and intended to make an attack the next morning. They were reported to have seventy pieces of artillery, and a force numbering from 35,000 to 40,000 men. - Their pickets were at Elm Springs, eight miles distant. Several of our foraging parties in that direction were taken in.

In pursuance of his original design, Gen. Curtis ordered Col. Carr and general Sigel to move immediately and form a junction with General Davis at Sugar Creek. Col. Carr moved his division across the divide the same night. Owing to a lack of transportation, some of our stores and Dr. Hunt's medical chest, containing his surgical instruments, were left behind and destroyed.

Early Thursday morning, Sigel's division was moving from Camp Cooper, beyond Bentonville, for Sugar Creek. His rear guard, composed of the 12th Missouri infantry, Captain Jencks's battalion of cavalry, attached to the Thirty-sixth Illinois, two companies Benton Hussars, and six pieces of flying artillery, (Albert's battery) left camp at 6 a.m. The main column marched through Bentonville without observing any indication of the enemy. General Sigel and staff, together with the rear guard, arrived at Bentonville in an hour and a half. White resting here, a black line was observed on the prairie 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 of cavalry and infantry. The rebel masses of cavalry and infantry. The rebel cavalry moved up rapidly and employing 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 the margin of the town, and the opposite side of the ravine was occupied by the rebels , who came rushing us with a yell. Noticing that they had formed on his rear, he detached for 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 Jencks, who had come forward to support the battery, Sigel said, "Captain, the enemy are on our front, on either side of us, and all around us." Then raising his hand to a level with his shoulder, and lunging it down with each sentence, exclaimed, "We must advance; we must cut our way through;" and concluding emphatically, "we shall cut our way through." Sigel then got off his horse, and personally superintended the planting of the pieces in position. He opened fire on the enemy in front every shot having a telling effect upon the enemy's ranks , which faltered and fell back in the woods. A rapid advance out 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 entrance of a deep gorge. On reaching this position, it was found they were supported by a large body of infantry, whose advance preceded our arrival b y taking a shorter road. The infantry were placed in ambuscade, covered by the 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 flank. The 12th Missouri charged up the hill in face of the fire, and drove the rebels over the hill.

During the charge, Siegel 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 planted, two 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 on 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.

Co. B. Thirty-sixth Illinois, and part of Co. A. were left in charge of a broken down ammunition wagon, and falling behind, were surprised by 150 mounted secesh. The latter cam up so suddenly that they were taken for our men, when the leader shouted out "lay down your arms or e we will kill every man of you." Our men having no one to command, obeyed the rebel order, threw down their arms, and delivered themselves up.- About fifty surrendered. A company of the Missouri 12th coming up directly after, fired a volley into the secesh, and nearly all of the Illinois boys made their escapes in the face of a fire of the enemy. Twenty two of the number, including Lieut. Walker, and Serg't P. Douglas, are still prisoners. The dead bodies of the secesh were observed lining the road near Sigel's rear guard, as the attack of the gallant Twelfth occurred near where Sigel planted his batteries the first time.

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 enemy from the south. Batteries were planted along the bluffs, some breast works 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 seeded to have too good evidence of our position to attempt an attack on this formidable side.

General Curtis impressed with the critical condition of affairs, changed his front at right angles to our former position. Col. Carr was immediately sent forward with his division to Elk Horn, to attempt a dislodgement of the enemy under Price and Van Dorn, at the same time that the forces under McCulloch and McIntosh, pressing forward to join the former, were observed by Generals Davis and Sigel in the vicinity of Lee Town, a small hamlet some two miles west of Elkhorn Tavern. The two battles, which raged nearly all next day near these tow points, were severly contested and terribly destructive on both sides.

Facing towards the north from this point, the eye rests upon a high range of bluffs, half a mile distant, covered with brush and timber. The intervening ground is low and broken, and also densely wooded. The Fayetteville road winds through here, and on both sides of the latter our troops were deployed to meet a concealed enemy who had his batteries in position, and whose numbers were unknown. Col. Vandevere's Brigade formed, and plunged bravely forward into the brush on the left of the road. The enemy were encountered and driven from their places of concealment. Their batteries, which sent shell and ball crashing through the brush, were silenced or forced to take a new position. The Iowa battery, which was brought to play on the rebels, caused them to fly over the brow of the hill, which at one time was covered with Louisiana white coats.

The Iowa Ninth and Col. Phelps' regiment both suffered severely, and were badly cut up.

About half past 10 Col. Dodge's brigade formed on the right hand side of the road, the Thirty-fifth, Illinois, under G. A. Smith, resting on the left, the Fourth Iowa on the center, and one section of the Third Illinois cavalry on the right. They had one section of the First Iowa battery, commanded by Col. David. After forming, the enemy opened upon them with artillery, and kept up the fire for four hours.

The first skirmishing that ensued, a number of our men were killed and wounded. The contest getting unequal, from the immense force the enemy displayed, Col. Carr sent orders from time to time to drop back. At two o'clock the enemy attempted to flank us, when a new line was formed, and the front was changed along the north side of an open field, facing the enemy. Three regiments of rebel infantry and a regiment of rebel cavalry had outflanked our position. They advanced and poured in a terrific fire, when the grapeshot from their batteries swept through our ranks crash after crash. At this time the ammunition gave out of our battery, and the latter was taken from the field. A section of a German battery was brought into the field to take the place of the First 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 would, in the exultation 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 our three thousand five hundred, a disparity of force almost unequaled. Some quartermaster stores at Elk Horn Taver fell into their hands, all of which were used by them except the desiccated vegetables and potatoes, they having no idea for what purpose these articles were used. Our loss in killed and wounded was severe. Lieut. Col. Chandler was captured with twenty men. Col. Carr was wounded in the wrist and a grapeshot grazed his neck.

Corporal J. H. Rowles, while spiking a gun, was shot in both legs, not mortally. Capt. Hayden, of Dubuque battery, lost tow men killed, and had 18 wounded-several mortally. Fifteen of the Third Illinois Cavalry were wounded. Col. Smith of the 35th Illinois was wounded in leg and breast.

Col. Dodge went into the fight with 610 men, and at night had 70 killed and 50 wounded. Col. Vandever could count only 175 men. Half his commissioned officers were killed or wounded. Col. Phelps had four horses shot under him, and half his officers were killed and wounded.

Lieut. Col. Heron, of the Ninth Iowa, was captured, with several of his men. His horse was shot under him, and his ankle being fractured by the fall, he fell into the enemy's hands when our line fell back, and they started in the direction of the camp-, the command having been much scattered. Lieut. Colonel Trimble was shot in the face by a minie ball the ball entering the cheek and coming out under the ear; but he was able to leave the field on his horse. Col. Bussey rallied the other detachments of cavalry and got them in position, when the cavalry returned. Of two hundred and fifty men composing the the Third Iowa which went into the charge, 45 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 Osterhaus' division, under Col. Greusel, of the 36th Illinois, had taken position early in the day. The cavalry stampede caused confusion, but order was soon restored by Col. Greusel, who commenced throwing shot and shell from Hoffman's battery on the enemy's cavalry just on the point of making a charge. Co;l. Greusel then threw forward Captains Miller and Parkhurst, of companies B and G, 36th Illinois, as skirmishers to find the position of the enemy in the brush. Miller's men advanced in fine style, fired on the enemy's pickets just as he discovered six regiments in line. Here it is claimed that Ben McCulloch was killed by Peter Pelican, a Frenchman, who saw him roll off his horse.

This hotly contested engagement, fought the same day at Lee Town, two miles north of our camp, resulting in the death of McCulloch and McIntosh, had an important bearing on the general result. It served to keep the enemy divided, and prevented a large reinforcement participating in the battle at Elk Horn Tavern. The battle was opened in the morning by General Osterhaus, of General Sigel's division, who was sent by General Curtis to observe the enemy in that vicinity.

About 9 o'clock Col. Bussey, with the 3d Iowa cavalry, Col. Ellis, with the 1st Missouri cavalry, Lieut. Col. Van Deutch, with the Benton Hussars, and Col. Albert's battery (three pieces) repaired to the same place to reconnoiter. Gen. Osterhaus ordered Col. Bussey forward. The battery went in front, supported by two companies of the First Missouri cavalry. On passing through a dense thicket, the open field was reached where the enemy was discovered about four hundred yards distant, moving forward. Gen. )Osterhaus immediately ordered the battery to open fire on the enemy, he being in advance of his whole command, which had not yet reached the field. Five or six rounds of grape were fired with telling effect on the enemy, who were seen to fall. Gen. Osterhaus then ordered Col. Bussey to send forward a detachment of cavalry to charge the enemy in the road. The cavalry charged forward along a narrow road, the cannon still firing obliquely. They were led gallantly forward by Lieut. Col. Trimble, the men cheering. As they swept down the narrow defile, about 250 rebel infantry fired upon them form an ambush 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 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 from succor.

At this juncture, 11 o'clock A. M., Gen Davis arrived, bringing the Third division along the Lee Town road. Coming into the field, which was surrounded by woods on all sides, General Osterhaus being on his left, the General sent forth a line of skirmishers, extending across the open field, to feel the enemy, who were not visible. On reaching the fence on the opposite side the enemy opened a galling fire on our skirmishers from the brush and the latter retired, slowly firing. Capt. Albert's First Flying Artillery was ordered to open fire on the enemy's position. At the same time the second Brigade, Thirty-seventh and Fifty-ninth Illinois under Colonel Julius White, were ordered forward on the Leeville Road, and when near the enemy's position were deployed to the right to run the left flank of the enemy, and the skirmishers soon found the enemy's position, and the engagement at once became general by a most terrific fire being opened by McCulloch's forces.

The second Brigade stood their ground gallantly, in the face of an overwhelming force, for three quarters of an hour, when they were compelled by five or six times their number to fall back, the enemy following close on their rear, taking two pieces of Davidson's battery. The second Brigade again turned upon the enemy and engaged ;his front, when General Jeff C. Davis ordered the First Brigade of his Division to take position on the right flank of the enemy, which they quickly did. McCulloch's reinforcements, under McIntosh, pressed the First Brigade (composed of the Eighteenth and Twenty-second Indiana commanded by Col. Patterson,) on all sides. The First Brigade rushed in through the brush under a heavy fire, turning the enemy's right flank, and the Eighteenth Indiana retaking Davidson's battery-the second brigade at the same time charging the enemy's front.

General McCulloch and McIntosh both fell in the charge, and their forces broke and run.

Col. J. A. Heedricks of the Twenty-second Indiana, fell, shot through the heart.

We had engaged the enemy for seven long hours, and our tired and victorious troops bivouacked on the field for the night.

A number of rebel officers were captured, among them Col. Hebert, acting Brigadier General, Col. Mitchel, a Major and several Captains. Those named were taken in by Capt. Smith's cavalry, attached to the 36th Illinois and some infantry.

The 22d Indiana lost the heaviest of the First Brigade, Col. Hendricks killed. Lieut. Perry Watts, Co.l E., killed by a six pounder in the breast; the same ball killed two cousins by the name of Alfreys. Lieut. McGray , Company G, wounded.

22d Indiana: 9 killed and 40 wounded.

The 37th Illinois, of Col. White's Brigade, lost 119 wounded and 21 killed-the heaviest loss of the army.

59th Illinois, (late 9th Missouri,) lost 14 killed and 51 wounded.

All the Field Officers of the Second Brigade were wounded excepting Col. Julius White -who was in the hottest of the battle.

The cavalry met six regiments, one an Indian regiment under Standwortz, three pieces of artillery, and one of Welfley's guns spiked, afterwards recovered by Co. E, 36th Illinois.

Our cavalry in the confusion of the retreat run over Welfley's men, killing two and wounding six. Capt. Welfley's spiked his gun before he left it.

The 36th Illinois and 12th Missouri stood their ground and saved the stampede.

Osterhaus commands First division.

The 36th Illinois lost 4 killed and 33 wounded.

Matters at nightfall began to look critical as the enemy had gained on us, captured some of our stores, and their shells reached one of our hospitals. Some began to look gloomy. All our wagons during the day were moving, or ready to move in any direction necessary. A rumor was circulated, in the afternoon, and greedily believed by many that Hunter was only six miles distant with reinforcements. It was said by some that Halleck was coming on, and that the Illinois Thirteenth was "marching down from Springfield on double quick." These rumors served to keep up the spirits of the non combatants. But it was evident to all, that our only salvation depended on gaining a victory over the overwhelming forces of the enemy.

Gen. Curtis decided to commence the battle at break of day. The greatest animation prevailed in camp, and all were eager for the fray. Carr's entire division bivouacked in the field, where their position was at sunset.

The enemy during the night advanced and took position one mile nearer our camp occupying the extensive bluff to the left of Elkhorn Tavern, where they had batteries planted which commanded the open field and bottom lands on this side. The open woods, a mile this side of the town, was also occupied by the enemy in formidable numbers. They had batteries planted in all available positions commanding the approaches from this side. General 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.

The cannonade opened twenty five minutes past seven, on Col. Carr's division, and the portion of the latter engaged fell back. Gen. Davis advanced on the main road and took position on the right wing, while Col. Carr moved to the centre, and a desultory fire was kept up for a short time. About 8 o'clock Gen. Sigel's division marched into the field and took position on the left wing batteries were planted along the elevation in this portion of the field, with alternate regiments of infantry.

The line as now formed was concave, with the wings advanced toward the enemy, while seven 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 reassured that victory was in their reach.. The bluff's occupied by the army on their right were covered with the secesh as thick as they could stand, while the intervening woods in front of our center was alive with them. Our batteries were soon opened all along the line, and a perfect wall of fire blazed out in rolling volumes. The enemy replied promptly with his batteries with little effect, except disabling one of Sigel's guns. The murderous cross fire our batteries crushed through the timber with terrific effect. The cannonade was terrible for two hours and a half, during which time the infantry advanced slowly under cover of our fire from the batteries. As soon as the enemy broke the infantry advance with a yell in double quick, sending volley upon volley well aimed musketry. The Tlwel----, Missouri rushed forward and charged on a battery in the heavy timber , capturing three guns and a flag belonging to the Dallas Artillery. The 22d Indiana also captured a gun and two caissons. At this time Gen. Sigel pushed the enemy's right flank, while Gen. Davis and Col. Carr drove forward his left flank. The flight became general, and the ravine near the Elkhorn Tavern was thronged with the flying enemy. The bluffs on the left, farming a natural fortification, where they had several regiments and a battery posted, were stormed by Colonel Greusel's brigade. The precipice here is seventy five feet high. The Twelfth, fifteenth, 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 accouterments were scattered in all 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 were pursued for two miles by company D, of Bowman's battalion, and the pursuit was kept up by the Benton Hussars and Gen. Sigel to Keetsville. Prisoners, including officers, were take in large numbers . Our loss in the battle was comparatively small, but the enemy' was terribly severe. We killed Gen. Stark, and young Clark, son of Merriweather Clark, of St. Louis, who had his hand taken off by a cannon ball. he commanded a battery gallantly, and had just given the order to retreat when a ball struck him on his horse. Lieut. Col. McCulloch, son of the General, was also found among the dead with his commission in his pocket, near Elkhorn Tavern.

Gen. Curtis has won a victory that should place his name in the front rank of heroes batting for the national cause. From his position in the field he observed every movement, and gave orders with admirable coolness and decision. His aids, Captains McKinney, Stark, Aughfelt, Stitt, and Lieut. Adams and Hooper, were seen flying over the field, conveying orders and bringing intelligence.

Good judges place our loss in killed, wounded and missing, not over 1,500 while the enemy's loss will --- fill far ----- 2,500. The reports, as soon as obtained, will be sent forward.

We have captured over 1,000 prisoners, and recovered all our guns. Several of the enemy's funs and caissons have been found abandoned in the woods, and any quantity of ammunition has been captured.

In the battle near Elkhorn Tavern, Ser't Maj. Wooster, of the Iowa Third, was hit by a cannon shot, taking away one side of his skull, while he was engaged in untangling the horses from the Dubuque battery, having bravely volunteered to go ahead on the dangerous errand, in the face of a plunging fire from the enemy's battery. Calling to his boy after he was shot , he said; "Johnny, Oh Johnny, I must go!"

A cannon ball, in the battle near Lee Town killed two cousins named Alley, and lodged in the breast of Lieut. Perry Watts, of Co. K, 22d Indiana. It was taken out and proved to be a 6 pounder.

A man was shot through the body with a ball and caught it in the waist coat of his pantaloons, where it had lodged.

In the battle of the 8th a ball struck a tree, shivering it to splinters. One of the splinters six feet long, struck a secesh and impaled him to the earth.

Lieut. Henne, of Company F, Twelfth Mo., who had lost his left arm in the Hungarian war, was struck in the battle of the 8th by a cannon ball, which carried away his right leg. He was carried off the field, and when passing Gen. Curtis the heroic sufferer waved his hand to the General, while his face was wreathed in smiles, as if forgetful of his sufferings in the exultation of approaching victory.

A singular incident is mentioned by Capt. Stark, of Gen. Curtis' staff: In the heat of the action on the 8th, a woodcock which was flying over the field from the secesh side, suddenly darted straight to the ground and was picked up near Gen. Curtis' position; it was ascertained that a stray bullet had passed through its body while on the wing. The incident was taken as a good omen.

One the rebel side the Indians were in command of Pike, Standwarta and Ross. They proved of little account, except to plunder and rifle the dead and scalp the wounded of which fact Col. Bussey, of the Third Illinois cavalry, has ample evidence. In the field these cowardly allies could not be brought within range of our cannon. They would say "Ugh, gig gun!" and skedaddle for the brush.

A secesh doctor, who came afterwards into our camp, relates that on the morning of the battle he observed about three hundred Indians dabbing their faces all over black from the coal of the charred stumps. The doctor inquired of one of the chiefs the significance of painting thus, when he was answered that "The Indians, when going into a fight, painted their faces red; but when they are pinched with hunger, they color black." These fellow 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 B., 36th Illinois . The attack in which the ubiquitous Ben was taken off was led by Capt. Miller. McCulloch 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 up and took a good watch, now in possession of Col. Greusel.

A ball, after breaking the legs of two men, hit Capt. Hobb on the back of his leg and was stopped. The Capt. was slightly injured, but his sword was battered.

Four of Price's Negroes were captured by Col. Ellis' First Missouri cavalry.

Price's field glass was taken and used during the remainder of the battle by Gen. Davis to make observations.

A cannon ball struck the ground, and ricocheting, passed under Col. White's horse carried away a leg of the horse rode by Lieut. Landgrove. The lieutenant fell with the horse, but extricated himself a soon as possible. The horse getting up hobbled to the secesh ranks, taking along the Lieutenant's pocket money, which was concealed in the holsters.

A Dutchman rode directly into the enemy's ------- with a caisson. The ---- Major asked him where he was going and Dutchman answered, "Dish for Sigel." The man smiled and directed the man where to go, which was not probably to any point beyond the rebel lines.

PEA RIDGE, March 14, 1862

We had an alarm in camp yesterday, which called out nearly our whole force into line, and considerable firing. The panic was caused by 100 rebel cavalry, who were moving over to the battle field to bury their dead, some persons, not knowing their object, gave the alarm, and at one time we thought the camp was invested by myriads of the sku--ing enemy and Indians.

The Third and Fourth Division moved toward Bentonville to take up new quarters.
