Curtis' Report. ' Captaih .Ths brief telegraphio report whloh I gave ,ihs O'h Inst., is not sufboient to present even the general outline of th battle of Pea Kldge, and with lb reports of my Commanders of Divisions, I now submit mors general detail. . .. My pursuit of General Pric brought me lo Faysltville, Arkansss. Ths emlre winter campaign from Lb 20th of January to this lime, including tbe march Irom Rolls to th Boston Mountains, 240 miles, was attended with oon-tinual exhibitions of toil privations, oonniotand gallantry, some of which I bav telegraphed to headquarter, and msy hereafter deaerve mora full development. After reaching Arkansas, th forces of Gsa. Priso were rapidly ro-enforoed by regiments which had been stationed in Arkansas aad ths Indian Territory. I therefore expected thoee ooinblntd forocs would turn upon us and give us battle, and in conformity with the orders of ths Gsnoral, of tbe 22d of February, I sclooted Bugar Creek ss ths strongest of scrotal strong places taken ironi mo enemy, to maae a siana axnlnst any and all odds. 1 reported my force lo you on ths 12th of February, after Col. Davis' division had joined ms, with 12,01)5 men and 60 pieces of artillery, laeluuing mountain nowniers. jy long line of oomraunloatlons required garrisons at Marshfisld, Springfield, Casavlll and Kiilsvills besides a constant moving fore to guard my train My force) la Arkaaaas waa, therefore, aot more tbaa 10,600, eavalry aad lufaatry, with 40 pieces f rllllry, iaeludiag th aioun- taia Bowuisrs,. as Bieos saving bass ssnt out into Missouri, aad thus presented from joining us i us natiM. ...-,,.

My own hssduitarlers were also at this plaoe, within about 12 miles from Sugar crees, oa ins main telegraph road from Spring field to Faystlevllls.1 - Large detachments had been sent out from thoss several campe for forage and information ons from Cross Hollows to Hunlsvllle. under commend or Volonel Vsnderer, and three from Cooper's form to Maysvills and Pineiville. One ot those, under Mason Conrad, with a piece of amiiery ana zou men, aid not reaon us until aftsr ths battle. . All the others osms in safe and joinsd in ths engagement. lbs enemy had taken position in th Boston Mountains, a high rang that divide the water of th White river and Arknnsas. Gen. Price had rallied the foroe that had fought at Carthage, Wilton's Creek aad LeitngloB. augtneat- d by hi exertion to rcoruit in Missouri during ths winter, On hi srrival from Spring, field in Arkansas, he reported to Governor Reo- tor that between four and five thousand of these hsd joined the Confederate eervice previous to leaving Springfield. The circulation of all manner of extravagant falsehoods on his way Induced Ibe whole eountry to leave their homes, and for fear we would kill them, thousands joined his ranks. . Gen. MoCulloch brought st lesst eleven regiment to in aeid, sod General Piks live. Besides Ihess regularly organised Confederate troops which General Price met In Arkansas, (hers were many companies aud Tegmenta of Arkansas volunteers, most of the country people being required to take up arms. From this data, and the general opinion of Ihe country, I estimated Ihe foroe of the enemy lo have been at least 30,000 or 40.000. This was the foroe in and near Boston Mountains, rallying to drive us from Arksnsas and Missouri. Tbe two armies tbu constituted snd located, were within hearing of each other's cannon, about thirty miles apart. ' I submit an accompanying map, showing some of the topographic features of the oountry on the roads which we have traversed. Our troops were weary and somewhat exhausted in their long foroed marches and. frequent oonfilots. Our cavalry had epeoialiy suffered in the breaking down and loss of horses. But our troocs were nenerallv well armed, drilled, and anxious to encounter the enemy at any reasonable hazard. They were all Intelligent, ardent, flushed with our repealed suooesses lu msay encounters on our wsy, and all oonsoloug of ths righteousness of tbeir oountry s oauss. , Ths arrival of Major-General Van Dorn; on tha 2d of March, in the camp of Ihe enemy, was lbs occsaion of great rejoicing, and the tiring of forty guns. The rebel foroe was harangued by thsir ohlefs with boastful and passionate appeals, assuring them of thsir superior numbers and ths certainty of an sasy violory. Dispatches were published, falsely annonneing a great battle at Columbus, Kentuoky, in which he bad lost three gunboats and twenty thousand men; and thus tbe rebel hordes were assembled Ibe occasion was now open to drivo the invaders from the soil of Arkansas, and givs a final and successful blow for a Boutbern Confederacy. The rub of Maroh was cold and blustering The snow fell so as lo cover the ground. No immediate attack was apprehended, and I was eagaged writing. - About two o'olook, P. M., scouts and fugitive citisens oame, Informing me of Ihe rapid approaoh of th enemy to give battle. His oavalry would be at Elm Springs, some twelve miles distent, that night, aud hi artillery bad already passed Fayetteville. Satisfied of the truth of the report, I Immediately sent couriers to General Bigot and Colonel Vaa-dever, and ordered them to move immediately to Sugar Creek, where I also ordered Colonel Carr to move with bis division. 1 also sent you a dispatch, which may have been lost with other mail matter, whioh 1 have since learned was captured by ths enemy. 1 told you I would give them tbe best reception possible. All my messengers were successful in delivering their orders. Col. Can's division moved about 6 V. M. - Col. Vandever had Intel-ligenoe of Ihe movement of the enemy before my messenger reaohed him, and made immediate change in his maroh, so that with great exertion, be arrived on the Oth. Gcu. Higel deferred hie maroh from Cooper's farm till two o'olook in the morning of the Oth, and at Ben-tonville tarried himself, with a regiment and a battery, till be was attaoked about nine A. M. I arrived at Sugar Crock at 2 o'olock A. M., on the Oth, and immediately dotailed parties for early morning work in felling timber to obstruct certain roads to prevent the enemy having too many approaches; and to erect field works to inorsass Ihe strength of my forces. Colonel Davis and Colonel Carr, early in the day, look their positions on ths high projecting hills commanding Ihe valley of the creek, leaving the right of ths tins to bs oooupisd by the first and second divisions, which were anxiously expeoted. The valley of Ihe creek is low, and from a quarter to a half mile wide. The hills are high on both sides, and the main road to Fayetteville, by Cross Hollows to Koit-ville, tnioroepts the valley nearly at right angles. Tb road from Fayetlsville by Bonton-ville lo Keitsvllls, is quite a detour; but it also comes up the Bugar Creek valley; a branoh. however, takes off aad puns nearly parallel to the main or telegraph road gome three milos from it. .Tbs Bugar Creek valley, therefore, Intercepts all these roads. Ths third and fourth divisions had before noon of the oth deployed their lues, out down a great number of tree whioh thoroughly block aded ths rosds on ths left. Later in tbe day 1 directed some of ths sams work lo bs done on Ihe right. This work waa in charge of Colonel Dodge, who felled trees on ths road which run parallel to the main road lo which I have before referred. This proved of great advantage, as it retarded the enemy soms two hours in their flank movement. Breastworks of considerable length were sreoted by the troops on the bead-lands of Sugar Creek as if by magio, and a battery near the road orossing was somnletelv shielded by aa extensive earthwork erected under ths direotloa of Col. Davis by a pioneer company commanded by Capt. Snyder. About 2 o'olook, P. M. Gen. Asboth and Col. Osler-haua reported the arrival of the First and Second Divisions. The good news was followed immediately by another report that Geo. Bigel, who had remained . behind with a detachment, had been attacked near Bentonville, and was quits surroundsd by ths enemy's sdvanoe foroe. I immediately direoted some of the troops to return to his relief. In the meantime he had advanoed with his gallant llttls band, fighting its way within three or four miles of our main foroe. The two division turned back in double quiok, and a large oavalry force also started, all being anxious lo join in a resoue of their comrades in peril. Fart of ths First Division, under Col. Osier. haus, soon mst lbs retreating detachment, and Immediately opened wllh artillery and infantry, wnton oneoBca ina runner navenae ana terminated Ihs notion for th day. In th retreat and final repulse, which occupied several hours, our loss was some Iweaty-fiv killed and wounded. Tbe enemy must have auffered more, a our artillery had tailing effect along the road, and the rebel grave in oonaidtrabl numbers bear witness ol Ui enemy lots. The firing having ceased, I sent baok. th other troop that had joined the movement and designated the positions on lb right, whioh were promptly oooupled by the first and seoond divisions. .. . . .. . Our men reeled on Ihsir arms, confident of hard work en Ihe ooming day. The accompany, ing map of ths baUle ground will fully illus. trata the positloas then and subsequently as. aumed. ...... On my.front was ths deer, broad vallev of Sugar Creek, forming tha probable approaches or lha snemy. Our troops, extending for miles, and generally oocitpying the summits of head lanuson sugar trees. In my rear was a broken plateu called "Pea. Ridge," and slill further in my rear the deep valley of Big Sugar Creek, or "Cross Timbers." .

Hit i I: - Ths approaoh by Bentonville broaght ths enemy I my extreme right, and during th night or th Atk aad Utb as bogaa a novauaeal rauad my flank by ths road above sasBUsaed, whioh crosses "Pea Rldgs" soma three mile aorta west of Ihe main telegraph road. ' I aaeertalaed la Ihe morning this taok movement of tbssasmy, which 1 psroeived was to attack mv rlxkt flaak and rear. 1 I therefore sailed my Command! of Divisions together at General Aabelk's teal, aad direoted a ohaage of front to the rear, an aa lo faos ths road, upon which th eaemy wae till moving. At th same lima I direoted tha organisation of a detachment of oavalry and light artillery, aupporied by infaatry, to open th battle by an attaok from mrrnrw center on mo prouBDie comer or tne enemy before be could fully form. I selected Col. Oeterhsue lo lead ihis central oolumn an offloer who dlsolaved great skill, energy and gallantry aob day of we uaiviw. - - The ohang of front thus direoted reversed the order of ths troops, placing tbe First and Seoond Divisions on ths left, their left still rest ing on sugar ureek, uateraaus and the Third Division in the center, and the Fourth Dlriaion became ths extreme right. While I was ax. plaining ths proposed movement to oomtaanders, and Col. Oslerhaus was beginning to rally and more forward hi aliackiog column, a messen ger orougni me intelligence that my nieket oommanded by Major Weston, of tb Twenty- rourtn Missouri, naa been attacked by infantry. This was at Elkhora Tavern, where the new right was to rest. Colonel Carr bain he was ordered to move into position and aun- porl ths Major as sooa as possible. ' This was Ihs commencement of lha aannnA day's fight.. It was about half past tea o'olook, and the offioers separated to direct their several commands. The firs inoresssd raridlv oa the ghl, and very sooa opened in ths eenter. Aftar visiting Ihe right, where I perceived the snemy was making a vigorous attaok. and Undine? Oal. Carr under a brisk fire of shot snd shell, oool-ly tooallng and dltamtDg U Aeptoymeat: I reV turned to my oenlral poeitiou near Pratt'a house, and sent orders to Colonel Davis to move near to Colonel Carr, lo support him. In ths meantime Colonel Osterhaus bad attacked tha enemy and divided hie forces; but be was soon pressed with greatly superior numbers, that drove back our oavalry, aad took our flying battery whioh had advanced wllh il. The Colonel, however, was well supported br his infantrw. and soon eheoked a movement that threatened to Intercept the deployment of other forces.' I considered ths affair so Imminent I changed my order to Colonel Davis, and direoted him to move to in support or me center, whioh was his proper plans aooording to my order for ths ooauge or rront. my new line wss thus formed under the enemy's fire; Ihe troops ,'generally moving in good order aad gallant bearing. ' Thus formed, Ihe Hue was not continuous, but extended entirely across I'sa Ridge, Ihe divisions in numsrioal order, from loft to right, Colonel Osterhaus remaining in command nr a detachment, and operating with Colonel Davis in resisting MoCulloch and Molnlosb, who oommanded ths enemy's tomes in ths center. I did not err in sending Colonel Davis lo this point, although Colonel Carr, on ths right, needed re-enforcements. The battle raged In tho center with terrible fury, Colonel Davis held Ihe position sgslnst fearful numbers, sad our brave troops nobly stood op charged in steady lines. The fate of the battle depended on success against tbs flank movement of th enemy, and here, near Lee Towb, was the plaoe to break it down.' The fall of Generals MoCulloch, Molaiosh, aad other oBoers of- the enemy, who fell early in the day, aided us In our final suooess, at Ihis most sritioal point; and Ihs steady courage of offioers and ' men in our lines chilled aad broke down th hordes of Indian oavalry and infantry that war arraysd against us. ' Whils the battle thus raged in the center, the right wing was sorely pressed, and Ihe dead and wounded were scattered over ths field;: Col. Carr ssnt for rs-enforoements, and I sent him a few oavalry nd my bodyguard with the little mouutain howitsere, under Major Bowen, Those did good servioe al a coat critical period. . 1 urged Col. Carr to stand firm, 'that mors forces could be expected soon. - Bubsequently Col. Carr sent me word that he oould not Bold bis position much lunger. 1 oould then only reply by sending him tbs order lo persevoro." ' He did "persevere,' and the sad havoevo Ihe Ninth aud Fourth' Iowa, and Phelps' Missouri and Major Weelou's 'f wnty-fourth Missouri, and all th Iroops in that division, will show how earnest aud continuous was Iheir poreeveranoe. Seeing no signs of approaohing toroea by the telegraph road, I son t him three pieoes ot artillery sud a battalion of infantry or Col. Benton's command, (part of Ihe 3d division) whish bad been located at .Bugar Crack to guard Ihe approaches. Eaoh small accession to ih. k'n.ik Division seemed lo oompeusale an overpowering force. Ah to the left, I was repeatedly informed that it stood safs aud firm, although threutoncd by ihe foe. About 2 P. M. my aid, Uapt. Adams, who had communicated with that wing, informed mo he had just seen Gens Sigel and Asboth on Bugar Creek, and there was still no attack in that quarter, and no appearanoe of an enemy. About this time the onomy's foroe uiciico. away iii me urusny oentcr, and the fire gradually ceased. Believing the left and oen-ter wcro no longer menaced, and ths eaemy waa concentrating ou ihe right, I again sent word to wuiouci curr tnai no would soon bere-en-forced. 1 had uowtrcsolved lo bring up the loft and center to meet the gathoriug hordes st Elk-horn Tavern. To Inform myself of the Condi. liou of tho extreme loft, 1 wont in person to that point. On my way I ordered forward Ihe remainder of Colonel Benton's oommand, three fleccd and a battalion, whioh had remained guarding tho orossing of the main telegraph 1IWJ. I found Gens. Bigel and Asboth with tha troops on the hill near the extreme left, where all was quiet, and the men, nut having been under fire, lresh, and anxious to participate in the tight. It was now safs to make a new change of rront so as to face Sugar Creek. I therefore ordered tnts loroe forward. Gen. As both moved by the direot rood to Elkhorn Tav ern, and Gen. Sigel went by Leetown lore-enforce Davis, ir need be, but to press on and rs-enforoe Carr if not needed in the center. Both Generals moved promptly. I accompanied Gen. Asboth, colleoting and moving forward soms straggling oommands that I found by the way. It must have been near five o'olook when I brought Ihe foroe lo the aid of Col. Carr. He had received three or four shots ons a sever wound in th arm. Many or his field offioers hsd fallen, and the dead and wounded had greatly reduoed his force. He had been slow ly forced baok near half a mile, and had been about seven hours under oonstant fire. His troops were still fiercely contesting every inch of ground. As I came up, the Fourth low was railing baok lor cartridges, In line, dressing on their solors, in pcrfeot order. Supposing with my re-enforoements I oould easily recover our lost ground, I ordered the regiment to faos about. Col. Dodge came up, explaining tbs want of cartridges, but informed of my purpose, I ordered a bayonet charge; and they moved again with steady nerves, to their former position, where the gallant Ninth was ready to support them. These two regiments won imperishable honors. , Gen. Asboth had planted his artillery in ths road, and opened a tremendous firs on the enemy at short range. The Second Missouri Infantry also deployed and earnestly engaged th enemy. About this time the shsdes of night began lo gather around us, but ths firs oa toth sides seemed to grow tierce and mere deadly. One of my body guards fell dead, my Orderly received a shot, and General Aaboth was severely wounded in Ihe arm, A messenger came from General Sigel, saying he was oloaa on Ihe loft aud would soon open fire. Ths battery of General Asboth run out of ammunition and fell back. Thia osussd anothsr battery that I htd located on the other aids or ths rosd to follow; this latter rearing a want or support. The infantry, however, stood firm, or roll baok in good order, and Ihe batteries were eccn restored, but the caissons got quite out of reach. Th artillery firing wa renewed, however, and kept up till dark the enemy firing the laet shot, for I oould not find another cartridge lo givg them a final round; even Ihe little howit-xer responded "no cartridges." The enemy ceased firing, snd I hurried men after the caissons and nioro ammunition ; meantime I arranged the infantry in the edge or the timber, with fields in rront, where they lay on their arms and hold the position for the nighl. 1 directed a detail from eaoh oompany to bring water and provisions; and thus without a murmur, tbeso woary soldiora lay, and many of them slept within a few yards of tha foe, with their dead and woundod comrades scattered around them. Darkness, silence and fatigue soon scoured for the weary, broken slumbers and gloomy repass. Ths day had closed on soms re- reruns on Ihe right, but the left had been un-assailed and the eenter had driven ths foe from the field. My only anxlaly for the fats of ths next day was Ihs nw front which It waa aecttsary to form by mr weary troops. I directed Cel. Da rkf to withdrew ait th remalndtr of hi main from th attr, aad aaovs forward so as t occupy tbs ground oa Carl's iramedial left. Although big tp otp Bd ba fighting Bard Blest efdh da, and dlsplsyd great snsrgy aad Me rags, at 12 o'olock at aight lhy ommsaeed their movement laxtb saw poWoa Ihs battlefield, and they, too, sooa rsstsd oa Iheir Nothlac further bad beea beard from Gsa.

About two o'olook he reported at my headquarters with bis troops, who ha said were going to thsir former camps for provision. Th diitano ti his camp, soms two milsa further, was aa arrant I apprehended tardiness la ths morning, aad - urged tbs Gsneral tort th troops whore they-then were, at my headquarters, and send for pro visions, as ins other iroops were doing. This wss readily ooaeurred in, aad the troops bl-rousoked also for ths Bight. Th arrangement thus oompleie d to bring all four of my divisioas to face a position whioh had beea held in check all the previous day by one, I rested, oertala of tbs final suoosss on the ooming dsy. Ths sun tore abov ths horriioa btfor eur troops were ail In position, aad yet th enemv hsd not renswsd Ihe attack. I was hardly read v io open fire oa him, aa the first and second di- -: visions hsd not yet moved into position. Onr troops that night rested Iheir arms in tbs face of ihe eaemy. Seeiug him in motion I sould aot ' brook delay, aud the center, under Col. Davis. opened fire. Tbe enemy replied wllh tsirlbl , energy from new batteries and lines whioh bad been prepared for us during ths aight. To avoid raking batteries, ths right wing fell beck in good order, but kept up a continuous firs from ths new position immediately taken. The first and second division sooa got under way, and moved with great celerity lo Iheir position oa the left. ' This completed tb formation of th lins of battle. It was directlv to tb rear ef the first, sad was quits continuous, muoh of It on open ground. The broken defiles occupied by him would not admit of assy evolutions to repel such ss oould bs mads by us on th optn plain. Viotory waa Inevitable. As soon as tbs left wivg extended so ss to oommand the mountain, -z and rest safely upon it, I ordered the right wing fo mere forward so as to taks poaitioa where I placed It tho night previous. I repaired, myself. to tbe extreme right, aad found aa elevated bo- ". tttton considerably in advance, which oommand- " ed the enemy's eenter aad left. Her I located - the Dubuque battery, and direoted th Tight , i wing la move its tight forward ao aa lo eupport it, and give directions to the advance of tha en tire right wing. Captain Heyden soon opened ' ' a Are whloh proved moot galling to tha to and a maikt for our lis to move upon. Returning 7 to Ihe oenler, I direoted the First Iowa battery, under Captain David, to take position in an open field, when he could also direot a fire on ' Ihe oenlral point of Ihe enemy. - Meantime, the powerful battery of Csptain Wslfley and many mors were bearing on Ihe olift, pouring heavy owns inrougn tne iinirjcr near tne center, splintering greet trees and toattering death and de-struolioe with tempestuous fury. At ons lime a battery was opened in front of Hayden's battery on the extreme right so near 1 oould not tell whether It was lha eaemy or an ' advanoe of Hayden's, but riding nearer I soon peroelved lis true charaoler, and directed the 1st Iowa aad the Peoria battery, (Japtaia Davidson, to oross fire on it, which soon drors it back to tbe common hiding place the deep ravines of Cross Timber Hollow. While the artillery were thus Isking position aad advancing upon the enemy, Ihe infantry moved steadily forward. Ths left wiog advancing rapid! v soon began to ascend the mountain cliff, from wnion tne artillery naa driven most or the rebel force. The upward movement or tha reliant 8t)ih Illinois, with it dark blue lias or maa and ' Its gleaming bayonsts, steadily toss from baas to summit, when it dsshed forward into ths forest, driving and scattering ths rebels from these commanding bights. Ths 18th Missouri, ' ' far in advanos of the others, rushed into th enemy' lints, beariag off a flag and two pieoes or artillery. . Everywhere oar Has movsd forward, and the foe as gradually withdrew. Ths roar of cannon and small arms was eon-' tlnuons, snd ao fores oould then withstand ths converging lins aad ooaoeatraotsd oross-nr of our gallant troops. Onr guns continued soms time after the rebel fire oeased, and the rebels had gone down into ths deep oavern through whioh they bad begun their precipitate fiirht. Fiaally our firing osased. The enemy sudden-' , ly vanished. Following down a mala road whioh enter a deep canon. 1 saw soms stran gling teams aad ansn running in great trepidation through the gorges of the mountains. I-directed a battery to move forward, whioh threw a few shots at them, followed by a pursuit or oavalry, eomposed of Ihe Benlon Hussars aad my esoort from Bowen's battalion, whioh was ' all Ihs cavalry convenient at the time. General Bigel also followed in this pursuit toward Keileville, while I returned, trying to check a movement whioh led my forocs north, whara I was soundest a. frightened foe was aot likely lo go. I sooa found the rebel forcee bad divided, and gone in every direotion, but it was sever- ' al hours before I learned that Ihe main foroe, nor uuwmg ine canon, naa turned short to the light, following obsoure ravines whioh led ' tnlo the uuntsvtlle road in a due south direction. . . . General Bigel followed some miles north to-ward Keltsvllle, firing on the retreating force that ran away. Colonel Bus sy, with cavalry and the little howitsers, followed beyond Benlon- ' ville.
