Colonel stone.

Col II. c. Warmoth, Of Missouri, one
of Gen. McClernand's Staff Officers, iav-
ored us with call yesterday. He was
present in the brilliant but unfortunate
storming of Vicksburg on the 22d of
May. and saw the gallant charge made
by the 9lst and 23d Iowa Regiments on
the fortifcations. He speaks of those
regiments in terms of the highest praise.
He saw Col. Stone leading the charge of
his regiment and saw him with his own
hands, plant the flag Of the 22d Regi-
ment on the Rebel parapet Col. Stone
tn n sent for the National colors of the
99th Illinois Regiment, and planted them
by the flag Of his regiment. There they
waved together from ten o'clock in the
afternoon until efter da-k. Three of
Col. Stones soldiers lay between the
embrasures Of the cannon and others IN
the ditch below, guarding the flag all
day. He says Col. Stone was severely
wounded in the arm. and was not carried
off the field, but walked off, Col. Stone
was the first man 10 mount the works.
As be speaks Of what he saw, the testi
mony of Colonel Warmoth is positive.
He speaks with enthusiasm of the cour-
age, GOODNESS and intrepidity evinced by
Col. Stone in the gallant exploit. He
pronounces him not on ly good soldier,
but an accomplished gentleman. and says
that while acting as Provost Marshal in
Missouri, he received valuable assistance
from Col. Stone in restoring law and or
der there. His experience of his civil
abilities there. satisfied him that Colonel
Stone will make in all respects an able
and efficient GoyerEor-Du Dubuque Times.
