Wisconsin. They proceeded TO drive the re-
bells from their second Ills of works and took
possession of the ruins OF the blown up fort
| The roar of artillery and musketry excelled
the loudest of Jove's thunder These works
were held until about P NJ, when the re-
bells massed an immense force and recaptur-
ed all the lines we had taken in the morning;
so that the result is that we took nothing BY
the motion, and had to pay the costs" All
of the 9th corps, together with portions of
the I'd and 18th, were engaged.
