The rebels did all their mauceivreing io the battle in the front of Ljtfe, and he had no supports with which to counteract their movements. They made a flank movement on him, which could not bo met, and, warned of it by Col. Harris, who saw the movement, though hidden by intervening hi]la from Lytie, the latter sent word to Roseau, who had been busy on the left and centre. But Rosseau bad no aid to lend him, and returned an answer to hold his position until forced to tail back, and then do so in good order.— Aid had already been refused to Gen. McCook, though Sehoepff, with tears inhia eyes, begged to be allowed to come to our assistance. Rut it was refused, and here should investigation be instituted to show why Sclioepflj lying in force not a halt mile distant, was not allowed to aid Rosseau. Who is to blame ? Lytle ^ re ^ ceived his order and obeyed it. Ask itof Pope of the Fifteenth Kentucky. Look at the flag ot the gallant regiment# rescued by Oapb. Foreman, and now a tattered fragment of the beautiful work of the Louisville ladies. The graves of seventy-throe dead of the Fifteenth Kotnacky will tell that Lytle obeyed to the letter. The ordex to fall back came only when flanked completely, and the regiments began to retire rapidly towards the cross roads.— But it was destined that Lytle should notleave the field. A» he gave the order—as the Tenth Ohio and Tenth Wisconsin waited for Simonson to retire with his battery—waiting at the cost of many precious lives, Lytle tell, shot back of the ear, and, as he tnought, mortally wounded.— “ Leave rue, ibcd,” be said to those who endeavored to take him from the field 5 4* it is too late ; go and fight.** He was left on the field with his gallant dead around him, and his brigade retired, al-uio«-t broken and destroyed.At this moment, Gen. Rous-eau, warned of the fUnking movement of the rebels, rubbed to the right and rescued it. He found the column almost broken, C«], Pope, wounded, was sitting near his regiment again forming near the houe, weak with im wound. Capfc. Loomis’ battery was posted on the hiil near the cross roads. Gen. Rousseau told hi in to open on the enemy advancing up the ravine to the right of the road to Perryvillo. Capt. Loomis replied respectfully that Gen. McOook had ordered him to hold Jiis firefor close work.“Close work! ” exclaimed Rousseau,-—“Look there.”” Where ? ” asked Loomis. The General pointed down the ravine fco the ngnt. In an instant Loomis saw, comprehended, and opened upon them.“ A little higher, Captain,” said Rosseau. The order wa3 obeyed, and the effect was terrible. The General rushedinto tko woods and managed by somemeans to get a hundred, and fifty or two hundred straggles into line, and supported the battery. He also managed to get Ool.We buried the dead last night on the battle field.All glory to the Wisconsin troops! All honor to the veteran 1st and the gallant 21st! Yours, on the field,Ool. J. O.
