The Board of Trade Battery.
Letter from Priyate.j
NEAR ATLANTA, GEORGIA, !
Monday, July rs, 1854. :
We are crawling up to Atlanta, inch by
Inch, and We viii soon have possession of the
city. Our lines are orc and half miles from
the city. The 22d day Of this month was a
sad day for the Board Of Trade Battery.
On the afternoon Of the 2lst, all the effec-
tive men Of cur division, and the center Sec
tion Of our battery, in command Of Lieut..
Robinson, started off on q raid to cut the
railroad, and destroy things in general, leay-
ing tie rest Of our battery, and pack mules,
trains, DC, In charge of the Division Provost
Marshal. We made our camp In the city Of
Decatur, six miles east from atlanta. There
were also three regiments Of infantry, and
one section Of their artillery left to guard the
corps trains, and hold the post, as It was an
important place.
Tbe next morning, (the 2ed,) The rebels
commenced driving IN our pickets. and max
log other demonstrations that led US to be-
lieve they wezc going to make an attack.
About II q nj. the infantry with their bat
tery, were ordered out to the front on the
south of the city. We had as yet had no or
ders. Lieut.. Griffin, commanding, went out
to see what should be done, and be made up
for orders to 60 to the front or rear. We
had Lo more than got our horses hitched on
the guns, when the rebels commenced dri7-
ing the infantry and battery right in our
camp. The, Colonel commanding the post
ordered us to fire and check the rebe1s-they
with canister, and we did drive them from
our front, {the battery md in that, our first
position, we had five men wounded. The
Infantry that should have stood und support
ed us, ran like coca1tls, and prayers aud cnrses
could not rally them. We were forced to
yards, aud then We managed to ge! tep Me I
to stand and eharpehoot for us. When the
rebels saw us falling back, they took advan-
ta!e oft, md formed q triangle on our right
aDd LEFT, getting terrible cross line on rs,
Woahdlng three more Of our boys.
Well, we had to fall back and e7acuate the
city. We made two stands, but the rebels
were too much for US. They outnumbered
US three to one. We fntreoched ourselves
during the night, but the rebels did not at
tack us again. The next morning we took
possession of the city. We had been in line I
Of battle about two hours, when scouts re-
ported two divisions Of Wheeler's cavalry |
(rebel) mazenvering to surround US.
We then moved out on the Atlanta road on |
the line with our main army. We were then |
relieved By the Colonel commanding, {Col. |
Sprague) and he thanked us very kindly, and |
told us We had saved his command and his |
train. He also wrote note to Gen. Logan,
ststing the B. 7. B. did their duty nobly and !
desired that the battery should have special |
mention to the commanding General Of the |
army (Sherman). Two much praise cannot |
be given to the 35th New Jersey regiment |
fhey fought like tigers. They had two full |
companies cut of and captured. They were |
on ourleft, Had our Division been in Deca- |
tur We never would have been driven out. |
Our loss was heavy. The Rebels lost the \
most killed. We had the post OF honor given |
ue, in the Brigade after the battle.
Our boys are rec living the full benefit Of \
lbe Sanitary and Christian Commissions |
Our Division bae returned after making q |
successful raid, cut the Atlanta aud Augusta |
road agafn, burned three brIeged and cap |
tured three trans of cars and captured any /
amount Of plunder, 500 head of horses and 4
mules, meat, salt and sugars.
