ers may be interested TO learn OF
our late engagement near Port
Gibson. The general items YOU
have heard. II was one OF the
most dashing movements of the
war, and IN rs results may prove
70 be one Of the most important.
Our troops marched all the night
before the battle, took breakfast
In range rebel canEon. and early
moved upon their defenses. The
enemy occupied two hills about
a half 4 mile apart. The one on 7
the right was attacked bv Carr's
and Hovey's Division, the left by
Gen. OSterhaus' Division. The
artillery duel and infantry move
ments continued near two hours,
when a general charge vas exc
cuted IN splendid style, both up
on the right and left, resulting in
chasing the enemy from their
positions and capturing two
pieces Of artillery on the right,
which were Immediately turned
against their former friends.
Capt. Klaus, of tie lst Ind. Bat
terry, had two pieces disabled,
and these rebel guns, fine brass
"a Founders, now constitute part
of his splendid battery. The
enemy on the left took his guns
with him 10 the next hill; but
Capt. Foster coming up at this
juncture with his 20 Founders,
silenced the rebel guns in few
minutes. The enemy, however,
held his position, notwIthstand-
ing the shell and grape from our
batteries. Osterhaus' Division,
numbering only between three
and four thousand men, il was
deemed prudent To wait for Gen.
+. Logan's Division, which was fast
coming up. During this time
our infantry was stationed; the
69th on the right of the hill. The
ridge in front of our regiment
was not over forty feet across,
and on either side was a gully
filled with an almost impossible
cane brake.
When I.ogan's men had come
mp and were making the charge
In front, the enemy attempted to
Gu! through at this place and
made desperate charge. Our
regiment at first recoiled, but
gathering new strength it bounced
upon the enemy and drove him
back across the ridge. The
firing continued for two hours,
during which time many of our
bravest bows fell Slxty.four IN

my company tel! Corporal Rich

a soldier as ever grasped a gun

. enemy. and utterly refused to
, have any assistance rendered
hum until the enemy were well
chastised. He died in the arms
of his fellow soldierS-those who
loved him as deadly rs father OF
mother. aud his bravery and
iortItnde will long be re-
: memhercd.
The e:emy were completely
: routed both upon the right and
left and fled from the field
Many prisoners were taken, and

tell MS why It is that they arc really just
AZ much rejoicel when the rebels gain
a victory as when one is secured by our
forces? This is actually the case al.
though they dare not make open de

they are in favor Of the Union and the
sue ses of our arms, but at the same
Time ind more to praise in rebels than
in Union troops. They assert and re
assert their loyalty, but at the same time
are constantly finding fault not only
with the administration, but with all
the officers under it. They are never
heard to praise any Of the Generals be-
longing to the Union Amy but find
much to admire in rebel generals. Now
if they are true Union men as they de
clare, why is it, that they take such an
inconsistent cour-es The truth is that
they are not true Union men, that their
hearts are in Dixie. and that is why
their eympathys are with the rebels
Such men should examine themselves
and they will be very apt to find that
they belong to the serpentine race, and
that in all probability they are both
copperheaded and copperbottomed.
