from the old Second Vermont We are now. AZ
we have been for iour weeks, at lIarrison's
Landing We h yc 10 do great deal of picket
and fatigue duty, which makes the boys scod
some. We have got tired of digging and have
felt very much disappointed that the Govern
men' did not reinforce the army Of the Potomac,
that we might have marched into Richmond
You may depend upon it that Richmond has
been held up before us SO long that we are out
OF all patience, and you can imagine how we
felt when We were obliged to make a retrorrade
movement. The health of our Regiment is in
a better condition than any other IN our bri-
eade, still many are sick. Some are obtaining
furloughs, and some OF the officers have of late
been promoted, and some discharged. Can't.
Eaton leaves us tomorrow to act az Maor of

see that his company fares as well as any in

been very poor, ana he mas been obliged reluct.

hard in defense of the chattel rights of his

like a puro blooied rebel. We are
glad Plat has left this place as his teach

A Fight at Bolivar, Tenn.
CAIRO. Septemher / la6

81 CArRo. September /. 1862.
On Saturday morning large force Of
rebel troops, vsriously estimated at from
1000 to 5000. appeared before Bolivar,
Tenn. They were mostly mounted infan-
try with some artillery. and commanded,
it is suppose. by Gen. Villipigue. and
approached Bolivar from the direction of
Summersville. They attacked Us with
great fury. but Col. NJ. Croker. Of the 18th
Iowa. the officer in command OF the dis
trict succeeded in managing the federal
troops so excellent that the enemy. after
three hours. were discounted and repulsed, ..
with loss to them of 800 killed and
large number wounded. Our own loss
in killed and wounded viii not exceed
twenty. Among the killed is said to be-
Lieut. Col. Hogg. of the second Illinois,
the rebels retired and sncamped short
distance from Bolivar with the evident in-
tention OF renewing the attsct on Sunday
Bat early on sunday morning they separs-
ted in squads and made the circuit Of the
town crossed the Hatchee River and struck
the railroad at Medon Station. half way
between Boliver and Jackson, here they
successfully oveIpowered the guard and o
series OF small fights and skirmishes were
commenced. which continued all day Sun
day until darkness compelled both sides to
suspend hostiities. Sunday night our
forces were reinforced and il is probable
that battle of considerable Importance
will occur to-day. 7srr
a large force of rebel cavalry attacked
our railroad guards at Melon Yesterday
afternoon. but met with the most deter
mined resistance, and on the arrival Of o
small reinforcement which l sent ont was
completely routed. Later reports show
our loss to have been only four wounded,
The rebel loss is estimated at fifty killed
and wounded. and one horse and several
prisoners. We are still pursuing the en-.
