MONUMENTS TO Mr.. LINooLN-T Chris

the six or eight monuments in honor of Pres

noblest and most fitting monuments to his

travelling bag who was evidently no one be-
longing to Vermont. Order was given to the
patrol to continuously follow him aud learn
his business, &c. They failed to learn any

and could give no good account Of himself or
show any evidence that he was loyal citi-
zen. He was taken by the Captain TO the
Office OF Hon Joseph Poland who gave his
opinion, after questioning the man, that he
ought to be retained until inquiries could be
made in regard to him. He was thereupon
invited by the Captain to remain with the
Sergesnts until Major Austine could be in
formed and inquiries made. He claims to be

FIVE hundred yards Of the rebel works, driv-
ing back the eDemys skirmishers as it sd-
vanced. The line was here halted, and we

subjected to a heavy fire Of artillery and
musketry. At nigh,iall line Of works was
commenced, and during the night we moved
into the trenches.
The regiment daily furnished one or two
companies fot the sklrmsh line.
The advance rife pits were within few
yards Of the rebel works. Those held by
this regiment we're exposed TO an incessant
flank FIRE from the enemy's artillery.
Capt Stearns and twenty-one men of CO. X
were captured in these pits. The enemy's
shells had compelled his supports to fall back
and had set fire to the grass and fallen timber
in his rear, enveloping the entire line in d
dense cloud of smoke. Capt Stesrns how
ever maintained his position. About dark
the rebels made sortie, capturing him and
twenty-one Of his men.
During the last days OF the siege the regi
ment assisted in putting the siege guns into
position and making approaches In this
perilous operation several men were wound
