Desperate Charge on the Rebel Works
Which Won q Victory.

""Sh WON 20 sictofJs
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There has
been very little said in regard to the battle
of Rappahannock Station, and | doubt if
there was sharper little fight during the
civil war than this. Considering the good
results, it deserves more than q passing
notice.
The Sixth Corps, under Gen. Sedgwick,
left camp on the morning of Oct. Z, 1863,
marching in an easterly direction until about
noon, when Co.'S A, F and D, 122d n. Y,
were thrown out as fankers, commanded by
Capt. Clapp.
The column was halted, as we supposed,
for dinner, early in the afternoon; but in
stead of orders to get dinner the three COM
panies of fankers were ordered to face to the
right, move forward and deploy as skirmish-
ers. We saw that our dinner, if we had any,
wonld be bullets or grape and canister.
On We went, with orders not to fire until
we were fred upon. AS we began to move
up high knoll line of rebel skirmishers
rose before us, and, giving US yolIey, started
off on a rum Without further orders we
returned the fire, started after them, and
drove the rebel skirmish-line, under heavy
fire Of grape and canister, into their main
line of works. Our loss was comparatively
small. James Elliott being mortally wound
ed and Wilson Haynes losing an arm, both
being members of Co. A, 122d n. Y.
The enemy's works were in a semi-circle,
one-half a mile in length, touching the river
at both ends, with one fort and two redoubts;
also, heavy breastworks reaching the whole
length of the line.
Our skirmish-line lay in a road running
parallel with these works until about sun
down, when the 9th Me-, 5th Wis. and 14th
n. Y. emerged from piece of woods on our
left, and without delay moved forward, with
ont apparently caring to keep in line, the
fort and redonbts on the right of the rebel
line being their objective point.
The rebels held their fire until the charg-
ing column came within close range, when
they rained bullets, grape and canister or
shrapnel enough on those men, seemingly,
to wipe them from the face of the earth.
Every man was bent on being first to reach
the fort if he lived. They soon reached the
fort, and without halt or wayer rushed into
the works, where terrible hand -to-hand
fight occurred 1t lasted only short time,
for those brave boys had started to win, and
win they did. In the charge on the enemys
right the rebs were cut off in their retreat
from their pontoon bridge. and we captured
1000 prisoners, four guns and eight battle
flags. Our force engaged was about l 400
men; and though this was not an Antietam
or Gettysburg, yet larger force might have
been proud of doing the same successful

Conference Rates.

Following is the petition from Utah
county to the railways asking a reduo.
ton In conference rates:
"tor several years past we have been
furnished semi.anuually by the two
railway Compa nice, whose trains pass
our settlements, with o list OF railway
rates known az Conference rates, with
the I, quest that we use our II fluence
with the people to pstronize the roaus;
upon which occasion graf many OF
the people OF our wards, being DESTROYS
OF attending .be conference meetings,
have made their ARA ugemeuts to avail
themselves OF said rstes. Many Of us
have repeatedly expressed our views on
these rates to agents OF these roa lie, who
had power to act, and explaint verbal.
ly the many fragrant dIscrimi nations
which exist, feeling that Ourselves and
the people have cause to feel aggrieved,
and requested that due consideration
be had, and the fares for these occa.
sions DO reduced, so that more OF the
people may attend the conferences,
anu the railway companies be amply
cared for, we have and do now con-
slider the present rates 10 be extortiOn-
ate, but no attention has been paid to
our requests aud appeals. We note
that upon special occasions-Si at Lake
excursions, theater rates, lodge rates
and almost every class OF secular
character can have low aud special
rates made for them, much reduced
from the Conference rates, which makes
us and our people feel that We as
| o class, composing majority of the
| citizens, are unduly Disseminated
against. That We may come to
proper understanding ON these matters,
we have unanimously concluded to
ask that the rate OF the coming
April conference be so changed, anu
reduced TO such price thar we can
feel Justified In asking our people TO
travel by rail, believing that many
more than otherwise would avail
themselves by the change. And in
the event that no action be taken to
that end, that We will use our infiu-
| ence mud best endeavors against the
| cost OF railway travel, and suggest that
those who feel in duty bound 10 attend
the conference will ft up sufficient
teams and travel in tina. way"
