Incidents of the Late Fight.

Gen, Berry was killed early in the action of
Sunday. He had crossed the plank road to
prepare a reserved brigade to move up to the
support of his nearly exhausted men, and was
recrossing to the line where his men were en-
gagged. In crossing this road he passed under
a perfect shower Of bullets one of which
struck him in his leftchest ndpassed through
his lungs. His body was picked up and con-
veyed to the rear by some members of his
staff.
General Whipple was very seriously wound
ed by rifle shot fired by sharpshooter sit
ting in a tree. The ball entered the small of
his back escaping the spinal column by
scarcely hairs breadth, and it is feared
found lodgment in his kidneys. This sharp
shooter had annoyed our officers very much,
firing at those who seemed to him to be prom
inent, and whom he could readily single out
from his elevated position. At last Gen.
Sickles sent to Gen. Whipple to have Berdan
detach Il portion of his command to dislOdge
this fellow. Gen. Whipple was sitting upon
his horse writing the order to Berdan to this
effect when he was hit. Almost Simultaneous
ly one of our sharpshOoters, who had been
watching the rebel, drew his rifle on him and
fired. The rebel sharpshooter fell from the
tree a corpse.
Capt. w. d. Wilkins, assistant adjutant
general attached to the staff of Brig. Gen.
A. S. Williams, was taken prisoner on Sun
day by the enemy. He was once before the
tenant of the Libby prison, having been con-
fined there under the rebel regulations re-
garding officers Of Popes army. He was
subsequently sentenced to be shot, having
been selected as one of the Union officers to
share that fate in retaliation for Gen. Me-
Meals executions in Missouri but was saved
by the rebel reverse at Antietam, which gave
us such preponderance of prisoners that the
rebels were frightened from their retaliation
schemes. Capt. Wilkins was supposed to be
unhurt when he was taken prisoner
