These tokens of omon-inGcted cruelty will

patriotic men are forever hidden by the dust
OF the tomb. If the anguish and prvatlon en-
dured by the eX-prisoners have left their in

is il that their health has also been rerma-

fierce conflict through which they are forced
to pass IN the struggle for existence in civil

M, LIST Mo. l.. A., at jackson, Miss as noted by
Comrade Busard in your last ISSUE allow me to

At the battle of Jaekseui Miss, May Ii, 1868,
the 18th Iowa took position on the left of tho
main Jackson road, and tho SOth Ohio and 10th
Mo. OH the right The 9Th Wis battery, Capt.
Dillon, formed with Ithe infantry OH the main
road. AT the pontwheEe tho line was estab-
lished tho road ran down a long, slipping hill
and up again on the other side of the ravine.
On tho top of this hill the enemy wero posted
behind light intrcnGhments, tho 9th s. G. and
n Georgia regmenty occupying the road and
front of the 18th Iowa., rAfte some skirmisl-
ing in the ravine charge was ordered. This
being the famous charging brigade of the Sew
enieenth Corps, the three regiments dashed
forward with yell, aud the battery, under
whip aud spur, started in line. The infantry
on the left of the road met with such deter
mined resistance that one-fourth of their num-
Der were either killed or wounded by few
volies from the intrcnched foe, aud had il not
been for the fact that this brigade had never
suffered reverse ina charge, they would never
have reached the top of the hill. On the right
the S0th Ohio encountered Il picket fence and
this had to be torn down under CALLING fire.
In the meantime the battery had outrun the
Infantry, ana from inc momentum gained by
going down the hill, dashed up the hill and
into the rebel lines. Nothing daunted, the
Cannoncers loaped from their cassons, drew
sabers, knocked down the rifles of their oppo.
nents, unlimbercd, aud before tho retrcating
enemy were 100 yards away they opened fire
upon them. The action of the battery in tax.
ing position caused the infantry to rcdouble
their efforts, and the 18th Iowa and 90th Ohio
rallied on the battery just as they were ready
to open fire. From Sergeant of tho 9th S. c.,
who was captured, il was learned that the bril-
gade opposing us bad just arrived from the
Army of the Potomac, and had engaged in
many battles there, commencing with the first
battle of Bull Run. That they possessed back
