wb.eler,s Late Battle.

Prom, the Savannah Republican, December 8.
Hardly day has passed that Wheeler has
not engaged some portion OF enerihanS mar S.a. OF.
my; and tie -hoastfAl !filpataick has been
whipped By him as often as lie mas fineefs
and toes. Besides fighting wherever he
could find the enemy, roads have been oo'
.tructed, cattle aud negroes driven OH, the
neople forewarned, provisions That copia NOT
I'D removed destroyed, and everything else
done to embarrass and distract the lnyaders;
IN This way Wheeler has rendered most vital
service to the cause, for it has given US time
to compiete 'defenees and bring up our men.
On Sunday last, the 4th instant, battle
wae FOUGHT WHICH exceeds in nasnitude any
that 81 has characterized. the campaign, and Is
therefore her worthy of some particular mention.
The 18th Yankee corps, united Win AIpa'
tricks entire cavalry force, made an attack
ON Wheeler, anda severe battle raged 1Sr
several hours. At the moment ofthe assault,
Wbeeler;s line was very much extended ior
the purpose Of forasirg, bpt he .spcedlJ
brought his. FORCES together and received the
attaci of the enemy with vigor that made
| tbem stasger. Several. times. were they
| dri ven back by our men in counter charges
arals and ssometiS1s from behind breastworks-
Finally, Wheeler finding himself nearl!
surrounded by greatly superior force, qui
etly and iugood order retired and left th'
s.ii seIid to- to ae ssneny. The losses Of the
were very heavy, end the blow eS,.'ot hay ,a

The TwentH.sIxth Ohio.

The tWenty-sixth Ohio arrived some
days ago at Chattanooga from the ex-
treme front at Knoxville, having re-en-
listed almost unanimously, and marched
from twenty-five miles beyond Knox
vile to Chattanooga. This was the first
regiment in East Tennessee to re-enlist.
The tWenty-sixth is one of the oldest
regiments in the volunteer service, hav-
ing served six months in Western Vir-
ginis, and the last two years with the
Army of the Cumberland. Most of the
latter time it has been under the COM
mand Of It's present commander, Col. W.
II. Young, and has won at least Depart
ment distinction, and q most enviable
reputation in the army with which it has
served. At Shiloh, Perryville, Lavergnei
Stone River, Chickam4uga, Chattanooga a
and Mission, it nObly bore its part. It's
charge through Layergne during the ad-
vance on MurfreesborO last winter, ranks
in official papers, as one of the most bril-
liant feats of the war.
At Stone River it was one of the very
few regiments, that, under the gallant
CrittendeD, stubbOrnly held its ground,
never yielding an inch during the many
hours that Bragg msssed his columns
upon the left wing, when the right and
center had already given way before him
aud the old 21st Corps, by its stubborn
gallsntry, snstched victory from his very
grasp. The regiment here lost one third
its force.
At Chiekamauga it was Immediately
thrust into the very vortex of death, and
only escaped after heroic struggle, lesv-
ing three -fifths of its numbers on the
bloody field.
At Mission Ridge it bore a most con-
spicuOus part, losing two color bearers
by the enemy's fire, two by sheer ex-
hsusGion, its Colonel finally planting the
colors, among the very first, on the noun
tain top, as the few remaining rebels
threw down their arms and took to fight
down the opposite slope.
The regiment came out thirty months
sgo 1O14 strong, and now carries home
with it about 200 weather. Drowned and
battle-scarrcd veterans as soldiers for tie
saT.
While in camp near Nashville in March,
1852, the fine appearance, sOldierly bear
ing and thorough discipline of this regi-
ment was so marked as to attract the at
tention of Gen. Wood, commanding the
Division, and call from him q compli-
mentary General Order, pointing to the
2Gth Ohio as model for the other regi-
ments of his division.
Give them their due Of honor.
