ceived a message from Capt. Bragg that
unless reinforced in a few minutes his
battery would be taken. Immediately he
and Major Bliss put spurs 10 their horses,
and in few moments were with him.
Captain Bragg, said he, have brought
you all that remains pf The reserve, Major
Bliss and myself" What a scene was
around and before him! His own field
was drenched with blood. The stars and
stripes slreamed in lalters from every STAN

Vaughn. and Yell. and Willis were dead.
Heaps Of slain were around him. The
mountains echoed with groans. aud the
sky WAS yellow with desOIalion. II

dark masses Of Santa Annals twenty
thousand were pressing on him; scores Of
cannon were pealing their thunders anil
discharging their storms Of shot. The
