Rebels entrenched on the summit Of
Cumberland mountain. Gen. Garfield
ascended the mountain with his infan-
try, by ualrequented paths, while his
cavalry, by advancing along the main
road and making a vigorous attack
in front, drew the Rebels a short dis
tance down the summit. The infant
ry advanced along the ridge and

OPPOSITE NEwBERN, !
-

We have just bivouacked here, expect
Ing to 60 into camp. You will probably
have heard of the battle Thank G cd
au safe, though l hardly expected it two
hours ago We have had dreadful time,
barring landed, sixteen miles below the
town, on Thursday, when it began to rain,
aud rained all night We marched
through mud and rain all the afternoon.
Detailed TO bring the cannon, we dragged
on til nine o'clock at night, laid down iu
the wet until two o'clock, then up and
pulled away until four o'clock in the
morning, " hen We reached Gen Burnsids's
headquarters, and slept on some rails till
six. Then got up and marched some miles.
We were in the battle, under heavy FIRE,
;or three hours, when the left wing Of
our Regiment (among which we were)
made charge tha: took the battery, and
We planted our old Penn'a Fourth flag
upon it. We have several badly injured,
but none Of mine or Kelly's company.
Newbern has surrendered. Our Brigade
took one battery, and the First the other.

drawn ny sword during the whole three
hours, until went up hill that wearied
US then | found myself with sword drawn,
yelling like a ca,amount. The bullets
ratified like hail again., our musksts, and

We went, the New York SIS. cheering.

soon as possible. J.M.L.

A part Of the SIS, Reg Pa. Vol went
up the Railway, but eight companies took
the Common road. |, moved forward IN
two columns. Our battery Of SIX guns
had been drawn to this point, bu; the road
became SO bad they could move no further.
Gen. Burnside said the guns must be
along, aud we were detailed under Lieut..
Col. Bell to bring ihem On. It was almost
dark, but officers aod men took hold, aud
through mud and rain, with occasiJaal
res's-by four o'clock 10 the moruing Of
Friday, reached the advance column. Our
Colonel found Burnside AID Reno lying
down together theJ arose, shook him
warmly By the hand, saying, "Anl so y0u
have the GuDs up? You deserve great
credit, and shall not be forgotten" That
was hard Bork-giti'ou, food, knee deep
in mud and the wheels sunk to the hubs,
and raining all the tine-bu; no. CON-
plant was uttered-Ee were on to victory
am satisfied no soldiers 10 the Division
could have endured more than Psnu's bays
did willingly.
After two hours rest, We arose at The
coming Of. day, then marched to the Rail
road, fred of our guns, and reloaded, an
ticipating battle. All this time we heard
our guns playing away a, the For. near
the River. The first firing from our col-
umn was about9 Spck. Our 5lst Penn'a
was ordered to fern and lie down behind
the 9th New jersey. Here ws laid, in
patiently, until Gen. Reno sent an order
to divide our Regiment Lieut.. Col. Bell,
with Lieut.. Beaver as his aid, forming the
left wing, was ordered TO supper, the 9th
New jersey. Col. Hsrtranft, with the
right wing, was to suppor, the sis. New
York, which was hOily engaged. Oar
wing moved up in lively ordeI-for all
seemed to think wo had the flag Of the old
4,h Psnn'a 10 charge, and the crsdi, Of the
5lst Penn'a to make. | think one Of the
happiest moments of my short life was
when | saw Co. H. move SO CALAMITY up
to the charge, and, with perfect coolness,
FIRE. The whole wing came up at the time
poured two heavy vOlleys into the bat
terry before them, and ;Leu charged bayo-
nets. The enemy fed as We came OF. Our
sbou: vas taken up BY the whale line, and
as they left their entertainments, the c3.ers
Of :he OLD l.h were planted amid dsafening
shouts from the entire army. All our
f4iigues were forgotten. We were imme-
diately ordered forWaId-the 5lsi Penn
IN advance
In the meantime, tie other Divisions OF
the expedition had made a vigorous assault
aud taken an e.even-gun battery, and our
gau-boats had come up and taken posses
sion Of the town.
We marched on after the enemy, on the
Railroad, bas they had cars ready, and
mostly escaped By them. They burned
the bridges and the tar factory. Oar brig
sis took about $50 prisoners. The 5Isi
Peun'a Reg. lost none killed, and only
ten wounded. think We have complete
possession Of the coast Yours in haste.

aud bacon burned to cin9eIs, their store
houses all burned; and in the ruins, every
thing you could mention that would not
burn, were abundant. Their wooden tents
are mostly standing. and in them We found
some provisions and beds, clothing, &;-
You ought TO have Just seen our boys 60
ia:o baking boe-cake in the pans left By
Z .bels. We found f9ur aud meat, and
made 4 hearty supper. We have taken
several struggling prisoners since We were
here, and a good many con,ra5anis have
come into our hands. We ezpec: to re-
main here few days, until the Railroad
is repaired this far,so we can e: provisions
after Us. Then We expse. 70 march for
the enemy, wherever We can End them.
From the appearance Of this place, the way
it was fortified, and the advantage they
had in their batteries, rife pits, and for;i-
fcations Of different kinds, leaving them
in the hurry they must have done, | do
not believe they will be easy found. There
Is an army Of Us in and about here; how
many, cannot tell but We haze sufficient
to make a clean sweep Of egery,hing like
Rebellion, in short order. Oar men are
all we'll, in good spirits, hoping We may
have ! chance 70 visit Richmond, as We
think it the most likely place to fnd the
foe. They have had good quarters here,
which We now enjoy-lOg huts, not mus
lin tents AS ny rebel paper is abOu; full,
I will will quit until | can get some more
paper, and lGk.
