tack upon the city Of Monterey on the Odd Septem-
Der, instant
Being ordered on the morning of the god to re-
lieve Col. Garland's command, which had during
the preceding night occupied the redoubt and forti
fcations taken on the 2lst, my command marched
from their encampment about o'clock In the morn
ing. Col Campbell, Of the Tennessee regiment,
being indisposed from the fatigue and exposure of
the preceding day, the command Of his regiment
devolved on Lieut.. Col Anderson. Both regiments
were much reduced by the casualties of the pre-
ceding day, and the necessary details for the Of
the wounded. The march necessarily exposed the
brigade for short distance to severe fire Of art-
lery from the works still in possession Of the enemy
on this side of the city, and from the cross fire Of
the citadel We were not allowedto reach our post
without some loss. Private Dubois, Of Captain
Crumps company of Mississippi riaemen, was
killed, and two men of the same company wounded
before entering the works The redoubt and ada
cent works being occupied by my brigade and

were engaged under the direction Of Lieut. J. M.

on the side next to town.
AT intervals during the whole day until Q O'Clock
at night, the enemy kept up from their Notifications
and from the citadel discharges of shell, round shot,
and grape II was in the forenoon Of this day that,
by the aid Of our glasses we were presented with
full view Of the stormng Of the Bishops Palace by
troops under General Worth on the heights beyond
the city. The shout by which our brave volunteers
greeted the display Of the American flag on the
palace, was returned by the enemy from their works
near us by tremendous fire Of round sh OF and
grape upon us without effect. During the day
plans Of assault on the adjacent Mexican works
were considered Of, but in the evening my attention
