Heroic Cavalry Charge.

: A correspondent, abiding to the late Skin
mish near Pennington, Miss, says:
In this extremity Gen. Paine, excited q
the time, gave the order for the batteries t
| fall back to the ROAD, and the infantry to fol
low. 10 cover this retreat, and stop thi
hail Of hurting balls and shell, the cavalry
was called upon. Tho regiment of secone
Iowa cavalry, under command Of Colsne
Hatch, and Majors Love and Kuhan, and three
small companies of regulars, under Lieut.
Gordon, were ordered to charge upon the bat
teries The order was rash one, but it was
an order Five hundred, in all, to charge a
battery in the face of ten thousand But they
did it, and, thanks to the bad gunnery Of the
rebels they nearly all returned to tell the tale,
many of them, alas, speaking by gaping
wounds and riddled. tattered garments.
Lieutenant Gordon, who is himself a con-
spicuos character in moro than one charge of
cavalry, says the sight transcribed all belief.
The brave Iowans. who had but recently left
their plought a6eld, now called upon to face
death and ride to the lannon's mouth, with
the true spirit Of heroes filled up the ravine,
and on reaching the top OF the hill, spread
out, galloped up to the batteries, demolishing
like lightning a line of skirmishers in their
way.
"Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left Of them,
volleyed and thuadersd."
Truly enough, for the whole of the guns
were sweeping the plain with shrapnel and
canister. Luckily the depression was too
great. The balls whistled and flew into tn.
ground all round and beneath them. The
mortality among the horses was fearful
ninety three of thu number being killed and
wounded. Col. Hatch's anxiety for his men
to follow him had now changed into an anx-
iety to recall them. Onward they charged,
right up to the batteries, slasning and hewing
down the gunners with their sabres, dead to
the call of their gallant leader, who saw that
the object was accomplished, the guns linn
bered and silenced, and the enemy on the
right in disorder, while on the left he was
closing in.
Orderlies sent to the different companies
finally rallied the men. Slowly and deliber-
ately they rode back over the field. The en-
envy was silent ON the left, Our artillery
aud infantry had PISSED into the woods, and
were falling back to the Eain body. The
route was strewed with dead horses. The
were helped on to the horses of their
comrades, while the endorsed took to the
woods on their left Gorden, who, more
prudently, but with equal GOODNESS, remained
in the rear, saw the desperate charge and
cared for the sufferers, burying two on the
field with sabres while still under fire.
Taking altogether, this is one of the most
magnificent feats of the war. No cavalry
charge since that of the memorable Light Brig
.de Is comparable with it. In these days,
when cavalry is beginning to be looked on
With some distrust, it is creditable to see one
'egiment which will not finch in its duty,
even at the risk of certain death.
