raband pen aud contrnbald ink. Where shall
be.in-what shall wie first There are incidents
enough, if all rocounted, TO Gil a volume; things
TINT took Illco in this the most complete victory,
and most overwhelming, total overthrow the Sexes
ZION army has yet met with In this rebellion. To
gin al tie beginning and tell the story straight:
Ju-t 1t dGybdak on Sunday morning, the 18th OF
january, sharp firing commenced with The lickets IN
the came spot where tie fixing was List Friday
night; the long roll beat IN TIE Indlpa 10th, aud
they formed instantly aud marched TO the support %
their pickete. The lUh and kinnoy's Battery were
closo together and half nile ia advance Oi every
thing. The battery got rendy for action on the In
stabt, aud awaited orders. BY the way, S,andau' r
Battery and Wetmores four-guu battery were both
in park one each SIDE OF Kmuey's Battery. The
/ H. Tennessee WIS about quaTter of mile in the
rear OF these battciep, in the woods. The An Ken
lucky Col Fly, was tie next regiment tic road,

bor,es all over the country, ~ every dir,cOn--cX-
rcrt toward the firing which still continued ~ in-
tefvals The ID was just getting brenhls', aud cup
posng IL 90 DO only iichet light, Kept Ola eooAlns
id eating though very few had eaten ANY hing
when tho column Of our force appeared coming On
IA our rear. Lieut.. Col Trcwlt promptly got u
into line and double .quicked into the road ahead
oil tho advancing column tho IN hontucSy had
gone when we reached their encumpment. The
Griug still continued ard very briskly We Kept on
nt double-quics all hoping and believing that " 9
v uuld have Ia chance TO smell burnt powder. Bat,
when opposite the ebctmpment Of tao 10th Indiana
M rode the Colonel and halted FOR further orders;
wo all thought--it We didn't say it-d-n further
orders.
The 10Th Indiana went into the woods about n
quarter OF Il nile in advance Of their tents, 10 the
support OF their pckcts aud bIgvey did they sup
poi t1cIn, too, for over half an hour, against the
whole force I'D aganft them and never retreaied a
slep, nor give an inch OF ground until nearly sur
rounded by overwhelming numbers; then, TO Save
themselves from being entirely surrounded, they I'M
willingly gave way. Here was crisis, and yell on
veil went up from the lantern, awed Secoselonats
they thought the day WAS all their own. But,
happily, any disastrous consequence was prevented

had been brought to bear on tic enemy; aud when
they once commenced they distributed their fnyors
freely in all directions in the shupe OF rhot ana

or three shots iOm cannon fired by the enemy, aud
ttey were eituer badly aimed the ioce5 were out

no uso 10 them whatever, while, on the contrary,
ours seemed 10 be OF imnen-e use 10 u.s. and it was
most ably aud effectively handled After Iittlo
moro than two hours of hard fighting, most tre-
