in full retreat, under cover ofthelr last charge
Our column also commenced a retreat in
good order. One Of the b.oodcst and most
desperate charges of the battle was Sustained
by company G, whose toys lou sht like lions,
disputng every inch of ground. They, an'
company B, suffered the most severely in the
regiment. Capt. Mason was killed fighting
heroicly AID cheering his men on, and Lieut..
Purcell was disabled The command was then
taken by Sergeant Grant, Lieut.. Davis no,
being on the field from sickness.
In our company Capt. Cummins and Lieut.
Satterlec were on the field, Lieut.. Satterlee
being in ccmmand portion of the time dur
ing the temporary absence of Capt. Cum
minis. Lieut.. Beach was not on the field,
being detailed, l believe, on some other
duty.
The regiment was led by Lieut.. Colonel
Merritt, Col. Bates being also absent from
the field on account of sickness. On our
retreat it was painful to see men wounded
in all forms dragging their slow steps along,
unable to procure room in the crowded wag-
ons. One Of our boys, Newton Brown,
came across wounded in the thigh, and sup
ported by two of his comrades. tried in
vain to get him into the wagons, or to get
horse for him from the numerous riders who
could have dispensed with them. At last,
out of patience, rode up to darkey who

of the President to remove Mr.. Cameron from
the War Department. We believed his ap-
pointment was mistake ut the time it was
made, and are now more than ever convinced

above all, lacks the confidence of the people.
His name is connected with TOO many iraudu-

want no better Union party than the Repub-
