The Olympics and the Fredericks met
again yesterday and played an Thinning
game, with score of . to s in favor of the
0lympips. The score was a tie in the
eighth inning, aud when the 0lympics
went to the bat in the ninth they failed
to score, as did also the Frederieks in the
last half. The same thing was repeated
in the tenth, and by good luck victory
perched on the banner of the home club
in the eleventh, they scoring one run.
Kelley Of the 0lympics pitched splendid
game, and was well backed up by the
field. Davis did good work behind the
bat, and though his thumb was knocked
out of place, still continued to catch. The
playing of the Fredericks was excellent
and Jones and Cargoe kept up the reputa-
ton of the visitors. Thesame clubs meet
again this evening to settle thechampion-
ship.

TIE MISSISSIPPI FLoTILLA
Nae Tight ID Baton Rouge. La.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | have read
an article from the pen OF Mr.. w. III. Michael,
late of the Mississippi fotilla. / shall try il
brief, to make some corrections in his article
of June 81 He says the feet under Craven,
with land force of 10000, arrived in front of
Ficksbnrg May %, 1862; that owing to the
low stage of water the feet suffered some loss;
that all the fortified points on the river had
been wrested from the enemy, with the excep-
tion of VicksbuFg and Port Hudson; that
when Breckenridge attacked us on the 10th of
August at Baton Rouge, and gradually drove
us back to the river, the loss of the enemy, oW-
ing to the effectiveness of the gunboats, was
much heavier than ours
Now | do not wish to detract one mite
from the efficiency of the Mississippi squadron,
but l do protest, in a feeble way, when
writer Of said navy puts forth such an article,
one which reflects on my regiment. The 9th
Mich. ii. A., on two old third-Tate steamers,
together with one single wooden gunboat, and
poor one at that, did, on that occasion, arrive
in front of Vickshurg, and there lay at anchor
abreast of WarTenton, four miles below said
city, for the period Is days. The river was at
its highest, the country flooded, as is always
the case at that season of the year We then
weighed anchor and started down the river
with all of said feet As we had encountered
none OF the enemy on our upward run, we
hardly expected any on our downward trip.

opened fire on u.s. sending few shots through
our boats, when we returned and finally land
ed and proceeded under Gen. Williams to the
rear of the village, and were speedily TePulsed
with triiing loss. We proceeded on our way
and finally reached Baton Rouge passing Port
Hudson, Of course But not one spadefni Of
earth had been thrown up for any kind Of
fertilization, neither was there until months
after Neither was there any fortified points
on the river, with the exception of tho old
arsenal at Baton Rouge and at Yickshurg
Gen. Breckenridge attacked Gen, Williams
with an estimated force of 5000 troops, while
we had not more than 5000 effective men,
owing to the prevailing sickness among our
troops. He attacked us at early dawn, and
owing to very heavy fog succeeded in getting
very close to us before the firing began, and
the entire fighting took place at the extreme
edge Of the city and was continued until he
retrcalei. They never reached the city limits,
which is ab0uta mile from the river. And ow-
ing to the fact that the city is situated on a
level plain and, perhaps 80 feet above the river,
with a rather abrupt bluff down to the bank
you can see at once that our gunbOats could
not fire to do us any good Immediately IN our
front; and, as matter Of fact, the most they
could do was to throw few shells among the
retreating rebs after we had routed them; and
not one shell could have been thrown over our
heads and done any execution. These are the
facts.-W. II. CoNLEY, First Lieutenant, Co. B,

day, was wounded; ball striking a silver
quarter he had in his pocket and driving it
through the bone of his leg, shattering it in n

Fight at the Mouth Of White River.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | am a reader
of your brave paper, and am well satisfied
with it. Perhaps | can give little story that
will be readable. / will try.
On the 22d of June, 1864, occurred little
"divarsion that probably history to date
gives no account of. Two companies { A and +,
18th Iowa. were stationed just below the
mouth of the White River, Ark, as garrison TO
a Government woodward. This was on an
island formed by a cutoff between the Arkan-
sas and White Rivers. 1t seems that the rebels
learned the weakness of our force (abOut 90
mem and determined on surprising us. The
10th Mo. Mt'd Inf. (rebels) numbering about
600, as we afterward learned, undertook the
job. Leaving 40 men with their horses, the
balance crossed the cutoff in the night and
formed a scattered line on three sides of our
position, which was stockade Just big enough
to contain our camp The stOckade had been
built on the river bank, with only three sides
Enclosed, the river making the fourth side
but the river had fallen and left not less than
three rods of muddy beach between the stock
ade and water. As soon as there was sufficient
light in the morning to aim a musket, the
rebels fired on our pickess and rapidly adj
vaneed, driving the pickets before them. But
their advance was soon checked, for they had
veterans to fight who had tasted prison life,
and were determined to reform and not to do
so any more.
y
man in the camp was in bed, but no man
undertook to dress further than to don
cartridge-box and belt, thon rush to a loop
hole and shoot straight. The rebs took shell
ter behind log cabins that were occupied by
the wood choppers and others, and stuck our
stockade full of bullets on the outside, but not
many came in. After few minutes of such
fighting their commander. ordered charge
around the ends of the Stockade. Inmedi-
ately Capt Morse, of Coz F, shouted Fix
bayonets," which order wasobeyed with loud
rafting and yels of "Come in, Johnny :;
Bring on your rehs," etc. But they evil
IDENTIFY did not relish the job, for not a man
came within sight at the ends of the stockade.
Instead they soon commenced retreat and
we at once sailed out and followed them with
musket-balls until they were out of sight in
the woods Our force was too sg to venture
pursuit. Our loss was one [ and four
wounded, while their loss was never positively
ascertained, but we found five killed and Is
wounded.-L. d. LYON, Co. f, 18th Iowa, Fort

he intended TO say was that Corp'l Graul plant
ed the Stars and Stripes on the fort long before
the blue State flag was handed to him.
G. G. Odell, Eagle Bend Mimi, enters his
protest against any set of men unfurling and
carrying the rebel tag anywhere in the United
States. He believes the Union cause was right
and the rebel cause was wrong, and their ac-
tions at Richmond recently is Haunting the

He has always admired their courage, even if
it was at times inspired by guupowder and
