70 te right aud left, and in the center, while the
)aet Of the retiring regiments entered the head OF
me csuseway with colofs flying, and marched in
ao,;d column down % sde water. The gunbosts had
ceased their fire, md the cloud Of light smoke from
the rans lad aoaied down to Reward, and hung like
a fringe on he woods far to the right. On the right
also. the woods where the rebel camp was pitched
had been set on Ere by the Seneoas she'll and were
burning completely down. If the work bad been
done ~ night, as first Intended, the effect won'd have
been sill more splendid, and even by daylight, and
especally az the work Of retiring army Vas most
impressive. We had supposed the earthworks am
magazine of the fort would bave been dest Dyed, ana
TIE roes pesr by, which might give cover TO the
xc5es, Gu; down but for reason they were ie;t

TIE Wabash hOwitzers and crews, under Lienls'

off the General crossed over with Cspt. Rodgers, m
his gig aud the mainland was once uore left TO the
rebels. They, however, had retreated to Gardner 6
Corner five miles away, where force Of perhaps
10000 men, including a regiment of cavalry, had
been concentrated, in evident eXpt cialion vi aIi
,u:mediate advance. An advance, however, what
ever might be the success Of the attempt, had been
strictly forbidden by Gen. Sherman, ard Gen. Sic
vens Withdrew his force IN obedience TO orders.
Under cover of the naval fore, lie Lad marched
eisht miles in the face Of superior force, taken
possession of the deserted font, captured one gun,
inspired lis troops with confidence in their General
end themselves. and had compelled the rebels 10
retreat from position on the mainland ohoscn by
themselves, fortified with care and supposed to be
imrregnable against any poss N attack. Moreover,
even in lie woods y here they invariably chose TO
,Lulk. tie rebels could not be induc d 10 Fight.
Gen Evans, who led them at BailsBluA was unoer-
stood 10 be in command, either Oh the ground or at
Gardner Corner The field IN which their reserve
was formed was slrikingly like tie one there, beng
surrounded On three scos with woods, but our
