This feat of arms, grand and ex-

In my corps in Stanley's division we
had very brave. handsome, prepos-

Gen. Kirby. Stanley had great conf

Goth of June. as Sherman was pressing
Johnston all along the front, as usual.
and also trying to turn his flank, a con-
federate force, coming with Bedouin

with woods was taken from him, con-
federate cannon put behind epaale-

woods. We called the highest point Of

which were made to protect four can

being in the edge of wood was made
first of large logs, leaving apertures
(embrasures) for the cannon fire. then
the dirt was dug up inside and thrown
over the logs, making a good, wide
embanbment; lastly short blocks were
put crosswise on the work, and series
of huge logs stretched from block to
block. This last continuance was in

fire, leaning against one of the trees

The enemy's gunners had this bat

shells screamed and cracked in the air
over my head; solid shot struck our
embankment, and little rifle balls
whizzed and whistled as they sped

A Traveller who was relating to q
company of friends his experience in
