past all the while, but no volleys were
fred. Two hundred yards in front of the

brake, when all at once without warning,

man was wounded, and he in tho hand but
slightly.

made comfortable. Proceeding upon this

when the general officers were seen riding
by. One of these was General Grant, an
other was General McClernand in COM
