Seeing in your papsr a report of the casualties
IN other Mississippi regiments, l determined to
send you the report Of the acting sdjutsnt of
the 4Oth Mississippi regiment. At the battle of
our regiment lost nearly eighty ia killed
and wounded. 1t WAS exposed for an hour to a
calling TIRE from the 1lth OHIO battery, when
our gallant colonel, ". B. Colbert, ordered a
charge, which resulted in the capture Of three
guas Of that battery, the other three being taken
BY the 30 Louisiana and a Texas regiment. By
way OF ~parenthesis, | will remark that a lieu
tenant Of that battery told me bis battery had
been s1 times unsuecessfuHy charged by our
troops. He also said that his battery Commenced
the fight With one hundred and twenty.nine
men, and that only twenty Bine was left to tell
the tale OF their disaster. After the battle cf
I-u-kR Colonel Colbert was placed in com mand
OF the second brigade, which accounts for the
that Colonel Campbell commanded the 40th
Mississippi at CoriRlh. From the excessive
hard marching in going to, and returning frem
l-a-ka and then to COzinth, the 40sh could only :
carry one hundred and ten man into The TIGHT At /
.ofnIh' and out of that number it lost sixty f,
seven. l
1t was a hard fight, the battle of Cointh. and e
mary noble spirits, on that hotly contested field. I
oTeathed their last In attempting to uphold the Z
OF the Confederate soldiers for chivalrv
snd Caring but none more true or brave tina.
he gallant Major Euoch Mcdonald aud Lien {
.enans W. A Robertson. Although stunned BY {
ne unbmely fate Of the gallant msj0T, and the
OF Colonel Campbell, it was only for a time. q
Lie eagle eye Of their gallant colonel perceiviu0 !
he commission into which bis fsvorite regiment
Vas thrown by the loss Of their field officers. :
up among them aud rallyine them as =
by magic, hurled them with such impetuoyity c
lgainst the enemy that they fed in all directions. /
1t one time we thought that the field was ours, Z
ma shout after shout went Up from the whole
but we soon discovered that they had y
been largely reinforced, and was approaching c
As IN such numbers that we would be compelled a
o fall back. Colonel Colbert gave the order re- 7
uctsntiy, ard the brigade tell back in good :.
Tder, Too much praise cannot be awarded to Z
Colonel Colbert for the able manner in which he y
.naneuvered bis brigade in Saturdays Fight. He a
vas uahuTt, though exposed as much as any ons !,
a the brigade. Other regiments in the brigade
equally as vel, and deserve equally as
ouch praise as the 40ih, but as it is the only n
regiment in the brigade, Ibave men
only it. J.B d. =
