From the Kinds county Gazette.
The Battle of Raymond.

On a steamboat in the Mississippi
some three weeks since, we found beau
tiful printed book, which essayed to be
"a truthful ard impartial" narrative Of
the movements of Gen. Grants army
! from the moment ofits landing at Bruins.
burg until the United States flag was rails
ed in Vicksburg. This narrative could
not be given, Of course without an ac-
count of the little battle which occurred
on the 18th of May. 1868. about two
miles west of Raymond, which we term
the Battle Of Raymond" but which is
termed the Battle of Fondren's creek,
by some of Gen. Grants officers. The
book to which we allude, states that Gen.
Logan, then in command of the advance
of Gen. Grants army, encountered force
of 5000 men, near Raymond, and after
a galent dash or two by Logan's men.
800 hundred rebels were killed and
wounded, and the remainder threw down
their arms and fed in confusion to Jack
son
We have now before us, through the
kindness of friend, Harper's Magazine,
Of June, 1863 1t contains diagrame
Of Gen. Grants operations in the rear of
Vicksburg. and in its briefrecital of what
had trapspired, says, that on the 18th of
May, Gen. Grant encountered the enemy
at Raymond, and defeated them with the
loss of 800.
II is needless for US to say to our citi.
zens, who were here on the l2th of May,
1868, that these accounts are false and
fraudulent, for they know that they are;
but for the truth of the history. and for
the vindication of as brave a body of men
as ever breathed. and for the information
of persons abroad, it is proper that the
facts should be published.
The battle was fought on the l2th Of
May, 1868. as stated. Gen. Gregg, of
Texas. with a single brigade of Texans
and TeDnesseeans, ess than 1000 strong,
were all the troops at or near Raymond,
and they arrived after a forced march,
the evening before the fight. Several com
panies were left in town to guard the bag
gage; numbers were in the hospital, brok
eu down on the march; and many others
were on guard duty on the other roads.
The number which opposed Gregg's
500 gallant heroes, may be roundly !
stated at 1000, for Grants entire army
was within supporting distance. The
f ishting was brisk for two or thee hours.
when Gregg, discovered that he was fear
fully outnumbered. and that he about to
be surrounded. fell back to Mississippi
Springs tive miles) that night-doiug So
at slow time and in perfect order, notwith
standing the euemy's cannon was brisk
y at work. On the next day Gen. Gregg
moved to Jackson.
As to the killed and wounded in the
Battle Of Raymond. we cannot be mistak
