Capt. Jesse Code. formerly a private
in the 18th Indiana regiment, but promo
ted from the ranks for gallant and mcrito-
rious conduct, is one among the heroes of
the present war. We learn from the Ma
jor Of his regiment that. during the fight
at Pennington, the rebels placed bat
terry at point in the road which was pro-
tected on either side by PERCEPTIONS hills
and thick growth Of ccdars. This bat
terry was exceedingly annoying to the
Federals, and its position was such as to
render its capture almost an impossibility.
1t must however be captured or driven off;
and for this purpose Capt. Code. with
thirty picked sharpshooters. was ordered
to advance into the cedar bushes and pick
off the gunners. Capt. Code moved with
the greatest alacrity with his forlorn hope
Of thirty brave hearts. Crawling through
the bushes. gliding silently over the inter
vening hills and through the deep gorges.
he finally reached the crest OF bill less

the Captain. 1--WE must capture that bat
terry" ''All right Captain was the al
most whispered response of the little band.
Fix bayonets!' sGhargel" and down
the hill went the glorious little band. into
the road, and almost into the mouths Of
the guns. The rebels were surprised-ter-
ri6ed. They fed, and four of the guns
were left in the hands of Cspt. Code and
his heroes. Rat Captain Code was not
content with fonr: he wanted the other
two which the rebels. were trying to es-
cape with. He was ordered not to pursue.
how ever; but when he got back to the reg
iment with his four guns, he complained
bitterly that he was not allowed bis full
battery. as, he termed it. All the officers
in his regiment, brigade and division unite
in pronouncing Capt. Code the bravest
among the brave. He is citizen of
