Ager forces that their candidate has seventy five
votes assured that lie Will receive sixty on the first

second lie agrees with the Harrison people that the
Blnine policy is OF delay. but holds that the
strength Of the Michigan candidate ana the scattering
votes which Sherman, Mckinley, Rusk Reed. Allison
and others likely TO receive will be sufficient to
ho,d the balance of power and prevent a nomination

TIE RETREAT FROM GRAVEYARD HILL.
Prices division was slow at getting to
work because it comprised two brigades,
whose movements were to be timed to-
gethcr They, too, found the roads blocked
with fallen trees and were obliged to aban-
don their cannon on the march. Their as
sault was met with grape and shell from
Battery c, and as they pressed over the
front rife pits the guns of Battery d, on
Hindman hill, raked their lines as the guns
Of c raked Fagan's. Their sharpshooters,
however, stole up behind logs and stumps
and picked off the Union cannoneers, and
about o'clock the battle flag of Prices di-
vision hoated over the Graveyard hill re-
doubt A handful Of expert gunners, who
had been in the front rank Of the stormers,
threw aside their muskets and rushed to
the captured cannon to turn them on the
works in the rear and upon the town, as
had been planned. But the Missouri boys
had been too clever for them and had
plugged the bores with shot and carried
away the worms and primers, leaving the
pieces worthless to the captors.
Meanwhile Fort Curtis made use of its
hong range siege guns, and shelled the cap
tured hill and redoubt, and the gunboat
Tyler did the same. Price ordered an adj
vance upon the rear of the Hindman hill
battery and upon Fort Curtis, but his
troops mistakingly passed them and dashed
on to the town. Pagan took advantage OF
the turn Of affairs on Graveyard hill and
put his men to the assault of Battery d.
by that time it was nearly the middle OF
the forenoon and his men were painting in
the fierce heat and suffering for lack OF
water. They made gallant attempt, but
scores Of them were shot down and the
survivors were captured at the works.
The sharpshooters in their own lines fired
at them toprevent them becoming trophies
TO grace an enemy's triumph.
On Fighter hill Gen. Marmaduke's Con.
federates had also been checked by trees
fallen across the road The horsemen quit
their saddles and made the attack on foot
dragging cannon to the front by hand
They assailed Battery A, but were repulsed
and at the same moment were treated to q
counter attack in the flank and barely got
their cannon safely off the field. Before
| high noon Prices men were expelled from
Graveyard hill and retreat was sounded
all along the line. At that moment the
garrison at Vicksburg were prisoners Of
war and the besiegers rejoicing in Fourth
OF July triumph So Helena would have
been useless to the Coufederates had they
taken it, and it cost them nearly 1900 mel
| to not take it, GEORGE l.. kILMER.
