same moment MeGivery, of No. 5, Hascall. of
NO IL, and Steadman Itself, made the same dis
covery, and followed the example of No. 9. 1t

vnlor worthy of better cause, moved through
it untiinchingy. Up to tie fort, up to No. II,
on it came, over the outer works of both, met
every instant by stubborn resistance and sud
den death, yet pressing on into the fort, through
the traverses of S!eadman, the fight was kept
mp foot by foot, inch by inch. Every man a
hero. The First Connecdcut and Fourteenth

OF their muskets as Gibbs. 1t is well there

garrison has gwen up the ghost, and General
Gordon stands upon its bloody rampant con-
qneror.
O'Clock, and daylight found Gordon thus
tie had full possession of Steadnan and No. IL.
His troops, an army in numbers, had been in
spirited by the event of the morning, and he
next attempted to sweep down on No. 9, but he
soon found that his difficulties had but begun.
Death was all around his troops.
