was ore line along the base of the hill, and
another broken line between that and their
main line along the summit. A strong force
was also posted in n deep railroad cut oe-
tween our troops and the tunnel, where a
terrible resistance was made. But alter a
hard struggle. our men carried the railroad
cut. and forced them steadily back and out
of their first line of works, capturing a forti-
fcation and feur guns on the second line.
This success caused a massing of their
forces in our front, weakening their center.
Their guns on the line above bore on the
captured works, aud heavy forge gathering

And over this portion of the field the battle
ragged furiously most of the day, our division
suffering the heaviest percentage of loss
during the day.
Morgan L. Smiths Division had passed
around the ridge to our left and was pressing
southwark, driving the rebels before them,
and threatening their communications with
their base OF supplies at Cbickamauga Sta-
ton. Their right being thus enyeloped,
they concentrated all the troops possible TO
maintain their position, and thus fatally
weakened their center, mistake that did
not escape the keen eyes of Gen. Grant, from
his station on Orchard Knob, and of which
he promptly took advantage.
The commands of Wood and Sheridan had
lain inactive all day, in line, waiting impa-
tiently for the order to advance, as Gen.
Thomas had orders to not advance the center
until Hooker had reached the other end OF
the ridge; but Gen. Grant now gave the
order to charge the RESI- center. With
cheer after cheer they daased away with an
ardor that was irresistible. Their bayoDets
were fixed, and they drove the rebels from
their first line of works without firing a
shot, though facing fierce fire in the charge.
Those of the rebels who did not surrender
fled towards their second line, swiftly fol-
lowed by the victors, pressing in wild dis

At kenesaW Mountain.

Fl. Skinner, Battery /, I'd III. L. A, Spring
view, Neb., writes: n" During the battle of
Kenesaw Mountain, in the Summer of 1864,
our battery had moved up from Big Shanty
during the night tothe:base of the mount
ain. The night was very dark. When day
light came we elevated our guns to about 80
degrees and opened fire.
We had been Smelling q rebel battery on
top of the mountain perhaps 80 minutes,
when one of our guns went off prematurely,
taking the rammer's left arm to the elbow,
his right hand to the wrist, and the sponge
staff with them, to the top of the mountain
The man thumbing thevent was exonerated
after an examination, and his thumb found
burned to the boneJr Both men were sent to
the rear, and don't remember hearing from
them since. : -
"At this place the rebel skirmish-line was
located about one-fourth the way down from
the mountain-top and our skirmish-line
about One-fourth the way up from the base.
Both lines were heavy; men perhaps 10 feet
apart. They kept up continual pop! pop!
of musketry during the night. On the very
summit was several rebel batteries of siege
guns, and they kept up booming from sun
down until SUNRISE"

SAILORS CREEK.
Last Determined Opposition OF red by Any
Great Rebel Force Was There.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have
not seen anything about Sailors Creek, Va,
which occurred toward evening of April 6,
1866. / desire to state briefly my recOllec-
tions of that event
In that short but severe engagement a
portion of the Union line belonging to the
First Division of the Sixth Corps, of which
my regiment, the SD Pa, formed q part,
was temporarily broken, being forced back
across the creek under q terrific musketry
fire.
Our shattered line was quickly reformed
under cover of heavy fire from batteries in
position on the opposite ridge from that oc-
cupied by the enemy. A second advance
movement by the infantry was promptly
made, which soon compelled the Confederate
commander, Gen. Ewell, and his whole corps
to surrender.
The enemy improved the advantage offered
by strong position to check our advance,
thereby hoping no doubt to get away under
cover of darkness with ammunition and Sta -
ply-trains. His line-of-battle occupied
wooded hill sloping gradually to creek in
his front, at this point deep, marshy stream,
rendered almOstimpassable by thick growth
of brush.
Our line-ofbattle formed on the opposite
rluSe from the enemy ana advanced rapidly
to the creek without meeting with any OPP
position until it reached the opposite bank
of the same, where it was met by deadly
volley of musketry from a concealed foe.
The firing was at close range, so rapid and
SO destructive that nothing mortal could
stand before it for any length of time. A
retrograde movement across the creek was
the inevitable result, which presented
scene of Understandable horror men srrupglinU

many battles, though the eyes, wet with
many tears shed for the loved ores who
went forth from many patriot home TO

first faint glimmer of light is breaking IN

That glimmer of coming light is foreshown
by the growing and never-faliing confidence

We are told curious circumstance cons
corning the cOlors of the Thirty third, or Duke
of Wellington's, regiment. On the death OF
the Iron Duke the regiment was brought from
Glasgow to London to attend the funeral.
The colers were lodged at the town house in
Portland place of the commanding officer,
Lieut.. Col Blake, where the color party was
billetted
To the simple, uninitiated mind of Mrs.
Blake the tattered condition of the regimentaI
color seemed reflection on the regiment,
and she was ashamed that it should be seen
in that state in such great ceremonial.
Taking her white silk wedding dress, she OBJ.
tanned the material wherewith to repair the
color, and it was. practically speaking, her
wedding dress duly draped that was borne at
st. Pauls that day.
