The rebels opened fire this morning
with their rifled Columbiads and GO.
Founders, placed on the heights OF
Yorktown; and No. l battery of 100
and 2O0.pounders, PARROTS, was then
brought to bear upon the only gun
which has given US any trouble, our
shots falling over and around it, with
every prospect Of its being very soon
dismounted. When on its 23d discharge,
the encmy's gun burst into thousand
pieces, tearing up the parapet and maxi
ing havoc with the crowd whs were
collected around it at the time. No less
than ten persons were standing on the
parapet within six feet of it, besides
those who we're hid from view by the
works. The destruction Of life must
have been considerable. This was the
only gun which the rebels have shown
capable Of doing No. l battery any ha'm
Ali firing on their side ceased, while ou'
guns were manned with renewed vigor

About 100 shots we're fred by our guns
Mp to two o'clock this p. M, when al
firing ceased. A rebel steamboat came
down the river and attempted to land a,

shots from our lO0-pounder Parrot.
The rebels kept up continuous fire all
last night on our men in the trenches.

The Captured Iowa Regiments.
PIrrsBuxo. April 70.
TO the editor Of the Chicago Evening Journal.]
All the accounts that have vet reach
ed our camp state that the Iowa regi~
ments (the 9th, 18th and 14tb,) were
captured early in the day Of Sunday,
April 6th-the first day of the great
battle. l was With he 18th and 14th
Regiments as late as quarter past four
o'clock in the afternoon ofthat day, out
upon the field. The misapprehension
has occurred, | think, by placing these
regiments in Gen. Prentiss' Division,
when they were in that Of Gen. Smith,
commanded in his absence by Gen.
Wallace.
Long after those regiments were re-.
ported captured, they drove the rebels in
repeated assaults, and occupied their
ground, and were still advancing by re-
peated charges when was last with
them. l administered to wounded reb.
els lying along their line of battle as
early as IL o'clock in the day, and they
did not yield their ground once, but
steadily advanced till their final strait,
when surrounded by the enemy, who
had turned our right and left 4 INK, and
closed in their rear, they fought their
way half mile back, but we're over
whel,ned BY swarming rebel regiments
and surrendered about quarter before
o'clock p. NJ, as we learned by our
Colonel, who, wounded, they lett next
morning in their retreat.
am glad to be able thus, with posi-
tive certainty, from personal knowl.

none receive such cordial praise as a
