Before night on that day the object of the movent was developed, by oar dis positions in Iront, ind orders were given for the neces pary concentration cf oar'force3, then distributed as follows : Polk's corps aod three brigades of Breckinridge's di vision, Hardee's corps at Alurfreesbore'.

To meet our s lecessful advanc?, and retrieve his losses in the lront of his left, tbe enemy early transfer red a portion ot bis reserve, from his left to that flank, and by two o'clock had succeeded in concentrating such a force in Ll.

No encomium is t o high, no lienor too great for such a soldiery. However much of credit and glory may be given, apd probably justy given to the leaders in our struggle, history will jet award tbe main honor where it is due to the private foldier, who. with' ut hope of reward, and with no other incentive than a consciousness of rectitude, has encountered all the hardships, and suSercd all tbe privations.

Division, and wbfeb had to be done the uext rnoruiug, icau d some uehy in the general and vigorous assault I by Lieut. Gen. Hardee. But about 7 o'clock the rattle lateiview was , 0 jnaaketry and the roar ot artillery announced the be- jCff!';Ut lDg made t n' yAr,ir rA tho f.-.fliit W.P PPPmu vaaa tnk-pn fi-initilr!f , J f ! ly by surprise; general aud-stafi officers were liptmount i ed artil.ery horses not hitched and infantry not formed. A 1 o and inviting breakfast of ccfJce and other luxu ries to wbijh cur gallant and hardy mn had long been strangers, was louud upon the fire, urserved, and was left, whilst we puihed on to the enjoyment of a mote inviting hast, that of captured arthlery, flying battal ions, and hosts of craven prisoners, begging for the lives they had forfeited by their acts cf brutality and atrocity. Whilst thus routing and pushiug the enemy ou bis "front , Lieut. Gen. Hardee announced to me by ani'S-engcr, that the movement was rot being as promptly executed by Aluj. Cheatham's command on his right, the leltofGen. Polk's corp3, a3 he expected, and that his line was consequently expo.-ed to an enfil ade fire from the ecemy's artillery in that front. The necessary inct'uctioLS for prompt movement at that point were immediately dispatched, and in a short time our whole line, except Breckinridge's command, waa f. amly ergae d From thi3 time we eoatinncri to drive Ir' corny more or Itss rap:dly uaul his Jilc was thrown entirely bck a: right angles to. his first posi tion, and occupied the cut of the railroad, along which he had massed his reserves, and posted very strong bat teries. (A reference'to the map No. 2 will show rfris second nnd strong position ) The enemy's Joss was very heavy in killed and wound ed ; lar exceeding our own, as appeared from a critical txamination of the field, cow almost entirely in cur possession. Of artillery alone we had secured more than 25 pieces. Whilst the infaulry and artillery wcrs engaged in this successful work, Brig-. Gen. Wharton, with his eavalry command, was most actively and gallantly en gaged on tbe f nc-my s right atd rear, where he inflicted a heavy loss in killed and wounded, captured a full bat tery ot artillery endeavoring to escape, and secured and sent iu rear 2.00 prisoners. These important successes and results had not been achieved without heavy sacrifices on our part, as the resistance of the enemy, after the first surprise was most gallant and obstinate. Finding Lieutenant General Hardee .so formidably opposed by the movement of the enemy to his front, re inforcements for him were oidered from Maj. Gen. Breckinridge, but the orders were count.-rmaDded, a will hereafter appear ; and Polk's corps was pressed forward with vigor, hoping to draw the enemy back, or route him on the right, as he had already been on the left. We succeeded in driving him from every position, except the strong cne held by his extreme left flank, resting en Stono's river and covered by a concentration of artillery of superior range and calibre, which seemed to bid us defiance. The difficulties of cur general ad vance had been greatly enhanced by tbe topography of the country. All parts of our line bad to pass in their progress over ground of the roughest character, covered with huge stones and studded with tbe densest growth of cedar, the branches reaching tbe ground, and form ing an almost impassable "brake." Our artillery could rarely be used, while the enemy, holding defensive lines, bad (selected formidable positions for hia batteries, and this dense cover for his inlantry, from both of which he had to be dislodged by our infantry alone.

Having now settled the question that no movement wa3 beiDg mad-e against our right, and none even to be apprehended, Breckinridge was ordered to leave two brigades to tupport the battery at " A," on his side of Stone's river, and with the balance of the force to cress to the leit and ieporc to Lieut. Gen. Polk. By the time this could be accomplished it was too late to tend tbe force to Lieut. Gen. Hardee's suppcrt, who was liv able to make further progress, and he was direeted ta matain his position. Lieut. Gen. Polk was directed with these reintoicements to throw al the force he could collect iioa the euemy's extreme lelt, and thereby car ry either tbut strong point, which has so far resisted us successfully, or failing io that, at least to draw cfl from liar Jet, 'd front tbe lo mieiabe opposition there concentrated. Ihe three brigado of Jackson, I reston and Adams were successively reported for this woik. How gal luiitly thty moved to their task, acd how much they sullered in the determined effort to accomplish it, wi.l best appear from- reports of subordinate commanders, and tbe statement ot losses herewith. Upon this flank, their strongest defensive position resting on the river btiik, the enemy had concentrated not lets than 20 pieces of krtiliery, masked almost entirely. lrom view, but covtrii'g an open space in Ircut of several hundred yards, supported right, left and rear by heavy mv-ses of infantry. This position proved impracticable, and alter two unsuccessful t Hurts, the attempt to carry it by infantty was abandoned. Our heavies, batteries ot ar'.iihry and rifled guns of long range were now concentrated in fremt of their fires opened upon bis position. Altera cannonade of some time the enemy's tire slackened, and finally ceased near nightfall. Lieut. Gen. Hardee had slightly retired his line from the furthest point he had attained, 'or belter position at-d cover, without moles tatiou from the enemy. L'eut. Gen. Polk's infantry, including the three re inforcing brigades, uniting their front with Hardee's right, and extending to cur extreme right flank, formed a continuous line very nearly perpendicular to the orig inal line oi" battle, thus leaving nearly the whole field, with all its trophies, the euemy's dead and many of his wounded, his hospitals and stores in our full possession. The body of Brig. Gen. Sill, one of their division com manders, was found where he bad fallen, and was sent to tov n and decently interred, though he had forfeited all claim to such cocsid ration by the acts of cruelty, barbarity and atrccity, but a few days b .fore commit ted under the authority on the women ;...d children and old men living near the road on which he had made a reconnoissance. During the afternoon Brig. Gen. Pegram, diacarver ing a hospital and large number of stragglers in rear of the enemy's lines and across Stone's river, charged them with his cavalry, and captured about 170 prisoners. Boti: armies, exhausted by a conflict cf fall ten' hoars' duration, rarely surpassed for its continued intensity and heavy losses sustained, sunk to nst with the sun, and peifect queit prevailed for the night. At dawn on Thursday mjrniDg, the first of January, oider3 we re sent to the several commanders to press forward their skirmishers, feel the enemy and report any change in his position. Mi jjr Gen. Breckinridge had-been transferred to the right of Stone's river to resume the command of that position, now he'd by two of Li3 brigades. It was soon reported that no change had occurred, (xcept the withdrawal of the enemy from the advanced position occupied by his Icfi flank. Find ing, upon further examination, that thi3 wa3 the exse, the right flank of Lt. Gen. Polk's oorps was thrown forward to occupy the ground for which we had so ob- j sttnately contended the evening before. I his shorten ed onr line considerably, and gave us possession of tbe centre battle field, from which we gleaned the spoils and trophies throughout the day, and transferred them rapidly to the rear. A careful reconnoissance of the enemy's position was order d, and the most of the cavalry was put ia motion lor the roads iu hia rear, to cut off his trains and de velop? any movement. It was soon ascertained that be was still in very heavy force all along our frcnt, oc cup ug a position strong by nature and improv ed such woik as cuuld be don-? at night by bis re serves. In a short time reports from tbe cavalry informed me that heavy trains were moving towards Nashville, some ol the wagors loaded, and all the ambulances fill ed with wounded. These were attacked at different places, many wegens were destroyed, and hundreds ol jsrieooers paroled. No doubt this induced the enemy to Bend laige escorts, ot caslry, at)d artillery, and in fantry, with later trains, and thus the impression was made cm our ablest commanders that a retrograde move ment was going on. Our forces, greatly wearied and much reduced, by heavy losses, were held ready to nail themselves of "any ctange in tbe enemy s position ; out, it was ceemcd unodvisab'e to assail him as there established, .be whole day after these dispositions was passed without an important movenent on eithcr s:d. and was eo -sumed by us in gleaniDg the battle field, burying the detd, and replenishing ammunition. At daylight on Friday, the 2d, orders to feel th2 ene my and ascertain his position were repeated with tbe same result. The cavalry brigades ot Wheeler and Wharton had returned during the night, greatly ex hausted from long continufd service, with but little rest or food to either man or horse. Both commanders reported the indications from the enemy's movements the same. Allowing tbem only a few hours to feed and rest, and sending the two detached regiments back to Pegram's biigade, Wharton was ordered to the right flank, across Stone's river, to assume cemmand in that quarter, and keep me advised of any change Wheeler, with his brigade, was ordered to gain thenemy'a rear, and remain until he could definite ly report whether any retrogade movement was be ing made. Before Wharton had taken his position, observations excited my suspicions in regard to a movement having been made by the enemv across Stone's river, imme diately in Breckinridge's front. RecoDnoissai ccs by several stnff officers soon developed the fact that a di vision had quietly crossed unopposed acd established themselves on and under cover ot an eminence marked " B " on the map No. 2, from which "Lieut. General Polk's line was commandtd and enfiladed. The dis lodgment ot this force or the withdrawal of Polk's line was an evident necessity. The latter involved con sequences not to be entertained. Orders were accord ingly given for the concentration of the whole of Maj Gen. Breckinridge's division in front of the position to be taken. The additiou to his command of .ten Nap ' Icon gnns, 12-poundera, under Capt F. H Robertson, an able and accc-mpliehed arrtllery officer, and 7or the cavalry forces of Wharton and Pegram, about 2.000 men, to joiu In the attack on hie right. Maj. Gen. Breckinridge was sent f r, and advised of tbe movement and its objects, the securing and holding tbe position which. protected Polk's flank, aod gave us command of the enemy's, by which to enfilade him. - He was in formed of the force at his disposal, and instructed with 4, wnl show tbe iumottant nart he nlavtd in th?a attaek and reyu'se. Before the end of the whole move ment, it was quite dark. Anderson's command held a position next the enemy, corresponding nearly with our original line, whilst Breckinridge's brigade com mardeis collected their scattered men 3 Jar as practi cable in the darkcess, trnd took irrrgn'ar positrons on Anderson's lelt and re ar. At daylight in the morning they were movea Io the front, atd the whole line re efblishtd without opposition. During the night, Mrj Geo. Cleburne's div:sion was re-teansferred to. its original position on ti e right, and Lt. Gen. Hardee di rected to re-jime his command there, end restore cur line. Oj Saturday morning, the 3rd, our forces had been in line t l battle fivedajs and five nights, with but lit tlo rts having no reserves, their baggage ai d tents hd been loaded, and the wagOLS were four milca cfl their provisions, it rooked at all, were most imperfect 'y pre pared with scanty means ; the weather had been severe from cold and almost constast raiu, aud we bad no change of clothing, and in many places cculd not have fires. The nece ssary consequence waa the great exhaust ion ol both officers and men, many havirg to be seat to tne fospital in the iear, and more still were beginning to Gtntggle from their eoxmands, an evil from which we hud so far sufiered but little. During the who'e Ol this day the lan continued to fall with little inttrmis eior, and the rap d lie in Stoat'a rive: indicated that it would coon be unlonh b e. Lite-6n Friday night, I bad ieceived the captured papers of Maj. Gen. McCook, Commanding one corps d'armeo cf the enemy, showing tbeir fleet ive strength to have b.-en very nearly, if not quite, 70 000 men. Before noon ieports from Brig. General Wheeler, sat sfied me that the enemy, ii s'.ead of retiring, v. as receiving reinforcements. Common prudence and the safety of my army, upon which ever the safety 01 our cause depended, left no doubt in my mind as to the necessity for my withdrawal from so uniqual a contest. My orders were according Jy eiren about neon for the movement of the trains and tor the necessary .'reparations of the troops. Under tbe efficient management ot the different staff departments everything bad been secured and transferred to the rear, including prisoners captured, artillery, small arms, Bubsislence, means ot transporta tion, and nearly all ol our wounded able to bear moving. No moven-cjut of any kind was made by the troop3 on either side duricg the most inclement day, until just at night, when a 6harp skirmish occurred between Polk's right and the enemy's left flink, resulting in nothing decisive. The only -rfiaestion with me was, whether the movement should be made at once or delayed 2-1 hours, to save a few of our wounded. . As it was probable we should lose by exhaustion as many as we should remove of the wounded, my inclination to remain was yielded. The whole force, except the cavalry, was put in motion at 1 1 o'clock, P. M., and the army retired in perfect order to i's present position, behind Duck river, without m-eiving or giving a shot. Oar cavalry held the posi tion before Alurlretsboro' uutil Monday morning, the 5th, wren it quietly retired as orelered to cover our front. We hft about 1 ;200 badly wounded, ce-hi!f of whom, we Icarn, have since d.ed from the se .rity of their injuries, about 300 sick, too feeble to bear trans portation, and about 200 well men and medical efficers as their attendants. In additiou to this the enemy bad. captured ubcut 800 pr'.sone-is lrom us. As the 1,200 wounded are counteei ODce under that head among our losses, they choti'd be excluded in the genera! total. As au tflset to this loss we had pccuttd, bs will appear from the nport of my inpj ecter General, herewith, marked " ctLsiderabiy ove- 0,000 irisoners, bad captured over 30 piects ol artillery, 6,000 stand ol small arms, a number ol wagons, feiubnlances, mules and harness, with a large amcuut of other veluable property, all of whichvas secured, and appiopiiattd to piopcr uses. Besides ell this-i-ecured, we had dis'royed not less than SCO wagous, mostly laden wi'h various articles, such as arms, mumuniticn, provisions, bag. age, clothing, medicines and hospital stores. We had lost three pieces of artillery onh; all in Breckinridge's repulse. A num ber of stands ot colors, nine of which are forwarded with this report, were also captured cn the field.

A dan s received disabling wound on Wednesday, I am happy to say not serious,-bat which deprived us of their valuable services. Having been under my imme diate command since the beginning of the war, I can bear evidence to tbeir devotion, and to the conspicuous gallautry which has marked their services on every field. For the sacted names of other heroes and patriots of lower grades, who gave their lives illustrating the character of the Confederate soldier on this bloody field, I must refer to the reports of subordinate cora manders, and to the. list which will be submitted. Our losses, it will be seen, exceeded 10,000, nine thousand of which wr.ra killed and wounded. The enemy's loss we have no means of kno . ing with certainty. Oae? orps commanded by Maj. General Thomas L. Crittenden, which was least exposed in the engagemen'S, reports over 5,000 killed and wounded. As tuty had- two otber orps and a separate division, third ot a corps, acd their cavalry, it is safely estimated at 3,000 killed and 10,000 wounded; adding the 0,- j 273 prisoners, and we have a total of 22,273. Lieut. Gens. L. Poik and W. J. Hardee, command ing corps, Muj. Gens. J. AI. Withers and P. R. Cle burne, commanding divisions, are specially commended to tbe Government fcr their valor, skill and ability, displayed by them throughout tbe engagement. Brigadier 'General J. Patton Anderson, for the cool ness, judgment and courage with which be interposed his brigade between our retreating forces and the enemy largely superior to him, on Friday eveniag, and saved our artillery, is justly entitled to special mention. Brig. Gen. Joseph Wheeler and3 John A. Wharton, CDmmanding cavalty brigades, wera pre-eminently dis tinguished throughout the action, as they bad been for a mouth previous in maoy successive conflicts with the enemy. Under their skillful and gallant lead the repu tation of our cavalry has been justly enhanced. For the just commendation cf other officers, many ot whem were pre-eminently distinguished, 1 must refer to the reports of their more immediate commanders. To the private soldier a lair meed ot prataa i3 due ; and though it is so seldom given and so rarely expected, that it may be considered oat of place, I cannot io jus- son, attendant on mystlf. staff and escort ; Ccl David Urqhart, of Louisiana, J Stoddard Johnston, of Ken tucky, and St Leger Grenfel, of England, the two form er volunteer aids, long on my tafl, served me most ef fectively. Major E W Baylor, Ass't Q M, Mujor B C Kennedy, Ass't Commissary Subsistence, nnd Lieut Wm M Bridges, Aid de-Camp to the late Brig Gen Duncan, reported justjsefore tbe engagement, and join ed my staff, on whtch-they served through the battle. Col. L. Al. Clafk, of the Artillery P. A., being iu Murlreesboro'on temporary service, did me the favor to join and serve on my staff during the engagement. His Excellency Isham G. Harris, Governor of Tennessee, aud the Hon. Andtew Kwing, member of the Military Court, volunteered their services and rendered me t'fti cient aid, especially with the Tennessee troops, largely in the sscendant in the army. It is but due to zealous and efficient laborer ia our cause that I here bear testi mony to the cordial support given me at all times since meeting him a year ago in Wrest Tennessee, His Excel lency Governor Harriss. From the field of Shiloh, where he received in his arms the dying form of the la mented Johns3r, to the last struggle at Altgrfreesboro', he has been one of us, and has shared all our. privations and dangerp, whilst giving us his personal and political influence with all the power he possessed at the h-ead of the State Government. To the Medical Department cf the army, under the able administration of Surgeon Foard, great credit is due for the surcess which attended their labors. Shar ing none of the excitement and glory ot the field, these officers, in their labors, of love, devote themselves silent ly and assiduously to alleviate the sufferings of their brother soldiers, at hours when others are seckirg ic posa. Tie reports of cubordinate commanders have been spec'ally called for, and are soon expected, when they will be promptly forwarded. During the times the operations at Murfreesbcru' were being conducted, important expeditions under Brig. Gens. Forrest and Morgan were absent in West Tennessee and Northern Kentucky. The reports al ready forwarded show the complete success which at tended these gr.llant Brigadiers, and commend them to the confidence of the Government and gratitude of the country.
