Sergeant Shields corrects Sergeant surby.


/ notice that Sergeant Surby, in your issue of
August Both, in speaking of the fighting around
Fort Hudson, states that Co, E, Sixth Illinois,
while on picket at the crossing of the Jackson
and Clinton road, was attacked by superior
force of the enemy, and that Sergeant Fayer
was in command of the company. That is
misstatement, as there was no such sergeant in
the company. | recall the occurrence of which
he speaks of very well, as / was there and was,
in fact, the sergeant in charge of the picket. 1t
consisted of ten men and was stationed on the
Clinton road, close to the house of the widow
Adkins / sent my best mounted men to re-
port at headquarters, and forming the rest of
force to the right in the brush, fred at the line
of battle the enemy was forming. | think they
were 600 strong,-two of their deserters so re-
ported, at least. The enemy never drove us an
inch from the picket post ! say this in behalf
of the men who We're with me and the re-
endorsements that so kindly and calamity
came in about that time. MY recollection is

/ notice a statement in your Chronology of
the War, in your issue of July 49, that needs
some correction. You say that an action took
place on the oath of July, 1861, at Carrolton
Landing, Carolina Bend, Miss, between the
Sixth Michigan cavalry on the steamer Clara
Bell and the Johnnies. The engagement took
place at Ashton instead of Carrolton, and the
Sixth Michigan heavy artillery instead of the
cavalry participated in it, as | well remember,
being member of company f, of said regi-
ment at that time, and being present on the
steamer Clara Bell, which was burnt by the

attendants had been SO long waiting

The Threatened enitonpoint they so
much dreaded has suddenly stopped
in its develOpeuient, aud her Majesty
still retains her activity. The once
raven hair has, however, turned
white, and the fresh color in her
cheeks disappeared. She has taken
