A Hero Of Roanoke.

To THE EDITOR: A. j. Victor de Monteil
was the Lieutenant-Colonel of the SD N. Y,
better known as the D'Epineil ZOuaves. This
regiment. armed with rifles Of the latest pat
tern, TO which were attached the saber bayonet,
and uniformed in the brightest cOlors, reached
Annapolis previous to the starting of the Burn
side expedition from that place. 1t accom-
panied the expedition only to Fortress Monroe,
and, for some reason, was left behind. 1t
seems that Col. de Monteil went to Gen. Burn
allowed the privilege of going to North Caro-
lima with the expedition, and, if occasion
offered, he would fight in the ranks. So earnest
were his appeals that the General assented. On
the battlefield of Roanoke Island, with rifle in
hand, fighting by HIMSELF he pushed boldly
forward near where the Hawkins Zouaves
made their charge. 4 moment after he fell
with mortal wound, and lived but short
time. In honor of his memory and the cir
cumstances surrounding the death of this brave
Frenchman, Gen. Burnside after the surrender
of the island named one of the captured earth
works Battery Monteil." On Battle Hill in
Greenwood Cemetery, a short distance to the
south of the soldiers monument, is one of much
less pretension. 1t stands solitary and alone
as he whose body lies under it stood in defense
of his adopted country when he gave his life
for her. The upper part is plain, representing

Port Gibson Again.

To THE EDITOR: About daylight May Ben
tons Brigade moved forward nearly to the
Magnolia Church referred to by Comrade r. II.
Martin, 10th Ind, where we halted till near
slnrise, during which time our regiment goth
ILL., lay in and across the road. number of
us went up to house a little to the left of the
road for water, and as We returned saw plainly
the rebel battery referred to as captured by the
First Brigade, planted near the church, and very
quickly our battery ran up just in front of our
regiment at the road, and within three or four
rods of where was, and opened fire. The iron
hail came in among us thick and fast, and we
were Immediately ordered to the right of our
battery in one of the little narrow ravines.
Soon Gen. Benton came along our front, and
when just opposite us, in CO. ], an orderly of
Gen. Carr's came up to the rear of our line and,
addressing Gen. Benton, said: The battery in
our front is cutting our men to pieces, and the
General wants you to take that battery" Gen.
Benton replied: Tell Gen. Carr will have
that battery in half an hour. Then Gen. Benton,
addressing our Colonel, said: Col. Bailey, will
you take that battery?" Col. Bailey said: Z" I'll
try it, sir" and then Gen. Benton gave COM
mand, Attention, 99th, and took us through
the manual of arms for perhaps three minutes,
when he gave the command, Forward. 99th;"
and he left U.s. saying, Don't shoot me, boys,
for l have pretty wife at home" Our
regiment moved forward to the crest OF the hill
and fired rapidly for few minutes, when some
one reported We were firing on ourskirmish line,
and we ceased firing for little bit, when Maj.
Brady. commander of the skirmishers, walked
hurriedly along our front saying as he passed
us, who said we were firing OH our skirmish-
ers? It's lie. Fire, boys" And then the
musketry was lively for few minutes, when
We were ordered to fix bayonets and charge.
We went as rapidly as we could run over the
short, steep hills and deep ravines filled with
canebrakes shouting like Indians rs we went,
till we got to the fence, where we were checked
for an instant, and then on we went The rebels
broke and ran as we got over the fence when
we were within about four or FIVE rods of their
line, leaving their guns behind them. think
it can fairly be said that the First Brigade
(Gen. Benton's), of which our regiment was
part, took that battery. l do not know now
whether the 33d Ill. was on cur left OF right,
but ] am sure all our men did their part well
and bravcly.-W. p. PEAsE, 99th Ill, Bushnell
