with terrible effect on the enemy.
Generals Netherlands, Sherman's
and Hulbut's men though terribly jaded
from the previous days fighting, still
maintained their honors won at Donelson
but The resistance Of the rebels at all points
WAS terrible and worthy n better cause,
but they were not enough for our uu-
daunted bravery and the dreadful des
truc;ion produced by our artillery which
was sweeping them away like chatf before
the wind.
But knowing that defeat here would
be a death blow to their hopes and that
their all depended upon this great strug
gle, their Generals still urged them on in
the face of destruction, hoping by flank

the battle.
Their success was again for tire

on appearing to have been reinforced,
but our left under Gen. Nelson was driv-

about eleven o'clock Gen. BueI's forces
had succeeded in flacking them, aud
capturing their batteries of artillery.
They however again rallied on the left
and recrossed, aud the right forced them
selves forward in another desperate effort,
but achievements from Gen. Wood
and Gen. Thomas were coming in rcoi-

thirds of our camp, and were fighting
their way forward with a desperate de-
Gree of confidence iu' their efforts to
drive us into the river, and at the same
time heavily engaged our right. Up TO
this lime we had received no reinforce
ments.
Gen. Lewis Wallace failing to come to
our support until the day was over, hav-
ing taken the wrong road from crumps
Landing, and being without other trans
ports than those used for quarternlasters
and commissary stores which were too
heavily laden to ferry any considerable
number of General Dnell's forces across
the river, those that were here having
been sent to bring the troops from Sa-
vannnah.
We were therefore contesting against
fearful odds, our forces not exceeding
$4,000 men, while that Of the enemy
was upwards of 10000. Our condition
at this moment was extremely critical,
largo numbers of men panic struck, 9TH
crs worn out by hard fighting, while the
average per centagc of skulkers had
struggled towards the river and could not
be rallied.
Gen. Grant and staff, who had been
recklessly riding along the lines during
the entire dav, amid the unceasing storm
of bullets, grape and shell, now rode
from right to left, melting the men to
stand firm until our reinforcements could
cross the river.
Col. Webster, chief of staff, immedi-
ately got into position the heaviest pieces
of artillery, pointing on cnemy's right,
while n large number of the batteries
were planted along the entire line from
the rivcr bank to our extreme right, some
p miles distant.
About an hour before dusk q general
cannonade was opened upon the enemy
from along our whole line with perpet-
ual crack of musketry. Such roar was
never heard on this continent. For q
short time the rebels replied with yigor
and effect, but their return shots grew
less frequent and destructive, while ours
grew more rapid and more terrible.
The gunboats Lexington and Tyler,
which lay short distance off. kept rain
ing shell on the rebel hordes. This last
effort was too much for the enemy, and
ere dusk tho firing hal nearly ceased.
when, night coming on, all tho combat
ants rested from their awful work of
blood and carnage.
Our men rested on their arms in the
position they had at the close of the
fight, until the forces under Major Gen
eral Wallace arrived and took position on
the right, and met Buell's forces from the
opposite side, and Savannah being now
conve ted to the battle ground. the entire
right of General Nelson's division was
ordered to form on The right, and the
forces under Gen. Criitenden were or
dered to lis support early in the morn.

Fill up the ranks that have opened for you
You whom the fathers m ade free and defended,
Stain not the scroll that EN- blazons their fame
You whose fair heritage spotless descended,
Leave not your children birthrght of shame
Stay not for questions while Freedom stands gasp

Wait not till Honor lies wrapped in his pail
Brief the lips meeting be, swift the hands clasp

Break fromthe arms that would fondly caress you !!
Hark! tits the bugle-blast! sabers drawn
Mothers shall pray for you fathers shall bless you
Maidens shall weep for you when you are gone !!
Never OF now cries the blood of a nation
Poured on the turf where the red roses should
bloom
Now is the day and the hour of salvation
Never or now peals the trumpet of doom
Mover or now roars the hoarse- -throated cannon
Through the black canopy blotting the skies;
Never or now flaps the shel-blasted pennon
Ger the deep whore the Cum berland lies :.
From the foul dens where our brothers are dying,
Aliens and foes in the land of their birth,
From the rank swamps where martyrs are

Pleading in vain for handf ul of earth
From the hot plains where they perish outnum-

Comes the loud summons; too long you have

a simple countryman was advised to call on
the doctor for medical advice. Whnn he did

the first thing that greeted his terror stricken
