CHICAGO FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1e, 1862.


terry IVES Colonel Fora's brigade, composed Of
Masylsnl home brigade, and some Rhode
1slard and Ma1y1aud cavalry, and during the
progress Of the fight more troops were sent
up.
All familiar with the locality know that the
3lrr5 lard Heights commanded the whole po-
sit1op. Eye witnessed declare they were per-
itcsl7 nhlc to hold the Heights. +
The correspondent Of the Tribune says:
Col. Ford ordered the evacuation, Tor Whist |
Ee:son his men could not learn. Capt. Nc
Gratb, as true and brave soldier as ever |
ualked, on receiving the order to spike his |
gupe, wss 60 astounded that he refused 10 |
obey it, aud not antil he ss~ the Infantry de |
strting him could he, be, induced |
to perform the disgaceful task
He sat upon his gun and ~ept like child,
7el1irg C.l. Ford that no m,tter By whose
order 1t WIS done it was piece of treachery.
This abandonment Of tie key to the whole
position certainly reouires the most csrefulin-
yestigatiou q. the hands Of tie proper authori~
lies. Ford bad positive aud written orders to
Eold the place to the last extremity. 5000
troops and oil our batteries were to aid hin,
Gel. ForI had remarked that he had looked
tie LII all over and made up his mind to stay
there, and that not nun should come do~n
until th5y had been whipped 1romit.
Subsequent action certainly gave the lie to
his words. Gil. Miles, wao ~as at the ex-
| 1reme left, upon learning that the
| troops we're leaving, rode hastily
! towards the spot, but net m-n on their way
up the iii, and learning that the guns were
spiked did pot order them back as he intend
I'd doiug.
| As there was much talk as to whom be-
forged The responsibility Of the eyaeuatiou Of
this pcEitien, your correspondent asked Col
Miles if it IVES done By his orders. "-Ao sir,
1uttn direct opposition to taem,'' WAS the me-
Quiyocal reply.
Oiiicels and men were thuudetstruck a. tha
p. rformance, ard Col. D'Uassy, command
| itg the first brigade, offered to retake a1d
hold tie position, but Col. Miles refused.
Tue .y-,uation recti iyed the merited condem.
nation Of officials and men, Every one saw
1hst the way for the rebels Was open.
