then we have had stirring times, fight every

ordered to move. We had heard cannona-

move, we knew it meant business for U.s.
Marching some 5 or 6 miles, we came to
gentle rise and from there we could see the
smoke rising from the battlefield. While
battling for brief rest the old man General
Brooks rode past us with an old coat and hat
on a sure sign that our brigade was to go
in. Away we went again and soon came on
the field. There was a perfect roar of artil-
lery and small arms. We had scarcely got in
sight when an Aid de-cRmp rode up said he ,

FROM THE FOURTH REGIMENT.


BURKETrsvlLLE, Md, Sept. IA, 90.
We have had terrific fight this afternoon.
The rebels held possession of a high hill just
beyond the town The town sits in little
hollow. We were on the hills on one side,
they on the other. We marched into the town,
the rebels Smelling US like hot cakes When
we got into the street the minnae balls flew
thick as hail. We marched through on the
double-quick. At the end of the street was
a large barn. We turned into the barn-yard
and halted, losing but three men in coming
through. While standing in the yard we
had one man shot through the breast killing
him instantly. We waited but few minutes
(our Regiment was all alone, only $50 men,
when the General gave the order to charge,
and up the hill and into the woods the boys
wen. with yell. The way the balls went
was caution. We had occupied the barn
as hospital and the wounded kept coming
in. Soon in came a squad of Company BIS
men with about 60 rebels prisoners. Then
came tho Adjutant with about so more--and
better than all the rest-a stand OF colors.-
Our Regiment now holds the hill, and | have
lust got all our wounded off 1t is as yet
impossible to tell anything about our loss
The I'd Vermont was also in action on our
right, but have not heard anything from
them. | am now sitting in the barn writing
by the light of a tallow-candle | can see the
lights up on the hill, our men attending the
dead. Our boys tell me the ground is cover
ed with secesh dead | intend to sleep ON
the straw tonight, and tomorrow join the
Regiment.

pleasantly in writing to you We are so far

Our extreme outpost was stationed at place
called Bayou Des-Allemands--34 miles dis

Clark started from there with train and 20
men to meet the train from Algers at boo

so as to turn the train on to a side track and

and turned the switch back and the train es
capped. The rebels then started for the Bay.

Persons who were ATTACHED TO the staff of Gen.

that the Joy manifested by the citizens oil Warren

bes, horse rode in front OF Stuart, IA his famous
cavalry brigade marched through the streets. The
negro seemed embarrassed, and hardly knew what
to make of IL; but the multitude enjoyed that part OF
the spectacle hugely. Some one in the throng how

he was compelled to walk through the dust and act

Gen. Haeck is recalled. The Secessonists OF Alex

is no one to contradict them, they soon fluid large
numbers who readily swallow the most preposterous
falsehoods.

smart thunder shower Of last Friday evening prob
ably DELAYED great battle on the north side OF the
Rappahannock. From prisoners taken IN the late
skrrnishes, and from many other sources, have
learned that il was the intention of Gen. Lee 10
cross his entire army during Friday night and the
day following, aud attack Gen. Pope before the re-
endorsements from McCleans army arrived upon
the ground Before the army Of Virginia made itr
mastery retreat before the eyes Of tie whole Rebel
horde, it WAS supposed that the Rnppalsnnoek could
be passed at only six seven different points, bn' II
soon became evident that the entire stream from five
miles above Warrenton Springs to the main body oil
the river WAS one grand ford and that the Rebel
army could almost march up to It's banks in line oil
battle, and walk Oh the bed Of the river dry shod.
The old fords of long standing were closely
watched and strongly guarded, but t. the surprise OF
our generals, Robe skirmishing parties were dis

Stuart was but preliminary skirmish in part to pay
of Gen. Pope for some Of bis Western raids, and
also to conceal the more extensive movements OF
Jackson.
During the night while Stuart was fumbns
in the trunks of Gen. Pope, and obtaining clean
linen enough to last through the season, Jackson
crossed his whole corps half dozen points above
Warrenton Springs. Jackson, according to the
programme, was to engage the right of Gen. Pope,
