of Gen. Rosecrans and Bragg, in which the
rebel army was totally defeated. We are un

THE 95TH GONE TO DIGGING.
FRIDAY Noon, April 3.
This morning, the 95th o. v. !, was put to
work on the canal. There Ia now O force of
about FIVE thousand at wosk-one brigade Of
our division and large number Of troops from
some other division. The negroes were mot
brought in to-day, no doubt for the reason that
they would be in the soldiers way. The darkies
have very easy time-plenty to eat and little
10 do, and always taking their time to do that
little.
1t is said that the water is going to be let
In on Monday next, April 6, and that the sol-
diers must get through with their digging by
that time. If they put on a fresh force to-mor-
row, perhaps it can be done. We cannot dig
down more than three feet before we are in
water six inches deep. IL Is expected that
when the water is let In, It will wash the ditch
1eep enough The dredges will then be put to
work, and then look out for good news from
ibis quarter. General Grant says Vicksburg
must fall within three weeks.

of the Yazoo river. At noon yesterday (Wed.

A BRIEF ENcAMPMENT

We remained over night at Providence, and
at about 10 A. M on Monday, March 30, started
down the river, and landed some twenty miles
below at Pennsylvania Landing, which is with
in come thirty or forty miles of Vicksburg by
land. Here we left the steamer and marched
about o mile back from the river and pitched
our tents The teams we're busy until late
Monday night, bringing up our commissary aud
quartermseter stores. This labor might have
been all saved If our stores had been left on
board the boat; for about noon on Tuesday we
received orders to go further down the river as
soon as we coul1 possibly get ready. The
teams not working rapidly enough, the men
we're brought into requisiton and carried back
theit terts and many other articles to the steam
er.
At this place (Tranaylvsnis Lsniing), por-
ton of our division, which did not leave Hele.

being ready, late on Tuesday afternoon our
regiment and the rest of the division embarked
on their respective stsamers--ten in all. We

following patriotic sentiment
81 look forward to peace, to successful ter
mination of this war; which will secure reliable
peace, and as is now the prospect. Whether
Hooker has recrossed the Rappahannock or not !;
whether Richmond is taken or not; whether in
defeat or victory-my determination is to stand

to promote vigorous prosecution OF the war"

HOPEFUL SIGNs.-Alter noting the decline in
the price of cotton, the New Orleans Era of
10th inst continues
a"All the products of the South except tobacco
are still on the down ward road-sinking just as
fast as tn popular faith in the early eztermina-
ton of the rebellion rises. The Government
currency is much stronger now than for long
time heretofore land in this city for the first time
this year, Treasury notes are preferred to bank
paper, The belief that the days of rebedom
are numbered, and by very small figures too, is
universal, and commerce governs itself accord
ingly. The owners OF our New York and New
Orleans steamships are likely to do very large
business for months to come. 1t is almost i'm
possible now to engage DOSAGE on any ship
to leave this port within the next two months.
The immense quantity of cotton and sugarEeom-
ing in from Western Louisiana promises ample
freights."

other regiments seeing us run, gave rise to the
story that the Second was driven back by the en-
envy 1t was sorely against our will to fall back
at all, but when the order was given we executed
it promptly; but We were not under fire and
what we did was done deliberately.
We took our position once more and awaited
another attack. Daylight had faded, but full
moon shone brightly and an enemy could be seen
almost as well as in the day time. A few pieces
of artillery was posted just to the left of US and
as soon as the enemy advanced from the woods
they opened on them with grape and canister.
The effect was grand. Inever saw more splendid
artillery firing At every discharge the grape
could be heard rafting against the trees like
throwing a handful of pebbles against the side of
a building No enemy could stand such fire.
and they were soon driven back.
We took position once more in a road little
to our rear-the embankment making a good
breaStwork for our protection. We did not re-
main here long before we fell into line as quietly
as possible and marched for the bridge at Banks
ford. Large numbers of troops were there i'm
patiently waiting for their turn to cross. After
waiting there a short time we were ordered to
fall into line which we did most willingly, for we
were anxious to reach place Of safety where we
could rest. Instead of marching across the river
however, we were ordered back to act as rear
guard to protect the army. Some of the BOYS
thought it poor return for brave fighting that
they should be obliged to do extra duty. But it
YVES reported, with how much truth cannot say
that zen. Howe dare not trust any other troops
but Vermoners to protect his rear at this critical
time. Skirmishers were depoyed out ahead and
we waited as patiently as we could for the rest of
the troops to march off. The rebels got apiece of
artillery where they could throw shell to the
bridge and among the troops about there, but
do not know how much damage they did, though
they could hardly fail of doing some. There was
delay and all was quiet for two hours or more
and the rumor came to us that shell had des-
troyed the bridge. Another rumor said that a
rebel officer had assumed to be messenger from
the commanding General with an order counter
handing the withdrawal across the river.
1t was relief to see the troops in motion once
more towards the bridge for it was getting to be
nearly morning. After all the rest had gone we
withdrew from our position with the utmost quiet
ness and marched across. 1t was sunrise before
we halted. We did not remain here but short
time, for rebel she'll bursting directly in the
midst of the Sixth regiment, and another one
close by, told us that if we were marching for a
place of safety we had yet further to travel.
