LIEUT.. GEN. POLK AT RESECCA

On the morning of the 10Th of May,
1864, the left of our line at Resscea,
occupied by Lieut. General Polk corps,
had to be reinforced, as it was believed
that the enemy was massing heavily in
front of this part of our position. Our
division (Cleburne's) was the one se-
lected, We took our position in the rear
Of Polk's men, and disagreeable one
we found it. The narrow, deep ditch was
already crowded with troops, therefore
we had to lay upon the ground, close
to their rear, with breastwork in our
front only some two feet high, to protect
us from the sweeping FIRE that the enemy
was continually directing at US from his
rifle-pits and batteries, some eight hun
dred yards distant This fire was so
severe at times that it was almost impos-
sible for man 10 raise even upon his
hands and feet without having bullet
lodged in his body. Sometime during
the night the enemy fire slackened, and
eventually died away. Some fifteen
minutes after the firing had ceased I
heard the tramp of approaching horse.

the opposing skirmish lines commenced
