- Guhtows, Mm , June 14, via Mobile 14 —
To Hon. Isham G Hirris: I met the enemy
under General* Stewart and Grierson, ten
thousand strong—seventy-five hundred infan
try, and twenty-fire hundred cavalry, and
twenty pieces of artillery—on the 10th in
stant, with four thousand cavalry and eighteen
pieces of artillery. After s hand to hand
fight for aix hoars, I completely routed him.
Tocir battle cry was “ Remember Fort
Pillow.”

Among the killed were many valuable effi
cert.
The enemy’s leesoa were 1.000 killed, 2,000
pritonen, 260 wagons and ambulances, and all
their artillery and ordnance stores. Wo are
still following and killing many in the woeds.
Their loss cannot be lee* than 6.000.

circumstances attending this event, from
nil we can I earn, were as follows: General
Johnston, Hardee and Jackson had just a
few momenta ridden up and’ dismounted,
and all were grouped together. The coK
lection of General* drew* a crowd of men
around them, - which attracted tho atten
tion of the enemy’s artillerist*—who open
ed fire, the first shot striking the breast
works, and the crowd were diapering when
the aeooodahot waa fired, striking General
Polk and taking effect through the breast
and both arms. This was done in the rear
of Slocomb’s battery of the Washington
Artillery, on the line between Lost Moun
tain and Kennesaw. His body waa brought
into Marietta at 4 o’clock P. M-, by his
staff rad escort, in order to be taken to
