The Assault and Capture of
the Works by Gen. Grants
Army.
From " The Great Rebellion" by J. T. Headley.

From 1.-THE Great Rebellion" by J T. Headley. ]
About o'clock, Grant rode on to the
field, and fired at this attempt of the rebels
to force his lines and their well nigh sue
cess, determined at once to move with his
entire army on their works. McClernand
was directed to storm them on the right
up the river, and Col. Smith, of the
Regular Army, on the left below. McCler-
with his division. He consented, and i'm
mediately formed his plan of attack.
Selecting two brigades, Cruft's and one
composed of two regiments under Col.
Smith, of the 9Th Mo-, and giving them the
simple directions to march up the hill in
columns Of regiments, and act as circum-
stances should suggest, he set the col
umns in motion. Knowing well it was a
desperate mission on which these brave
troops were going, he showed his conf
dence in them by telling them SO.
But this announcement, which was
made to the regiments as they moved past
him, instead Of discouraging them, filled
them with delight they answered with
deafening cheers, shouting Forward, For
wardl'' Forward, then, it is" cried Wal
lace rising in his stirrups.
The two brigades then moved swiftly for
ward till they came to the foot of the hill,
on the summit of which the enemy stood
in strong force. 1t was full three hundred
steps from here to the top, yet Smith as he
reached it never waited for Cruft, but bold
ly began the ascent-the Sth Mo. leading.
The hill was bare in front, though rough
with out-crOpping lodges of rocks, but
farther on, where Cruft was to mount, it
was covered with trees, with here and
there openings of oak bushes. Here took
place the most terrible fighting around
Fort Donelson. The men, aware OF the
desperate undertaking before them, nerved

musketry as though fire was raging amid
the withered branches.
But nothing could stop the resolute ad-
vance of Smith, and closing nearer and
nearer on the enemy, his two regiments
finally cleared the hill with a shout, and
charging after the discounted rebels chas-
ed them to within a hundred and fifty
yards OF their entertainments.
This was the ground that had been oc-
cupied by McClernand in the morning,
and from which his division had been
driven by the fierce onslaught of Pillow.
1t was covered with the dead and wounded
who had fallen there in the vain attempt
to stem the overpowering tide, and amid
them stood our captured guns.
Darkness was now settling over the
mournful field, and the fighting ceased.
The night was bitter cold, yet those brave
men, though hungry and exhausted, spent
it in bringing in the wounded and in min
istering to their wants.
While this success was being gained on
our right, Smith, on the left, performed a
still more brilliant exploit. a little after

he took three picked regiments, the I'd

storming force, and riding at their head
led them round to the left, and began
swiftly to ascend the steep sides of the
hill
The enemy seeing the storm that was
ready to burst upon them, opened ter
rible fire on the advancing regiments. But
not "a shot was returned-the gaps made
by it were instantly closed, and shoulder
to shoulder, like dark, resistless wave,
the undaunted column swept upward. Their
march was silent and terrible as death,
and the solid earth shook under their
measured tread. In front, towering un-
hurt amid the tempest of balls, rode Smith
his cap on the point of his sword, guild
ing them to victory.
Breasting the descending torrent of fire
that drifted like wintry hail adown their
ranks, they kept their eye on that strange
pennon, and with unfaltering step, and

glance that nothing but humiliation
would keep them from reaching the sum-
NIT of that hill.
When about a quarter of the way up, a
line of fire ran along it's crest, and the
plunging volleys tore through their ranks
with frightful mortality. But the living
stepped into the places of the dead and
pressed fiercely on and up. At times,
when the deluge of fire rolled in an UNI
broken sheet down the slope, they fell on
their faces, and then, as it subsidized, rose,
clearing large intervals in their rush.

THE TROOPS cHEER5D
When News of Fleets Victory Reached
Firing Lines.

At the Front, Headquarters of Gen.
Shafter' Army, Before Santiago de Cuba,
Sunday, July 3, via Kingston, Jamaica,
July 4.-Copyligtt by the Associated
Press. EARLY in the day man on the
lookout had reported that the Spanish
feet under the command of Admiral
Cervera had filed out of the harbor, but it
was not until late this afternoon, that the
result was known at the 'front.'
AS the word of the magnificent victory
flew from sentry to sentry along the firing
lines and WAS shouted to the companies,
regiments and brigades, a great cheer
swept down the line of weary men,
gathering force as it went, until the
ra tile of musketry was drowned in the
roar of glad American Threats. The
cheering continued through the evening.
Although the firing continued all day
between the outposts, very little damage
was done on either side y
General Chaffee was wounded slightly,
a rifle bullet cutting through his foot, but
he will not be compelled to leave the field.
The only severe firing during the day
occurred when the Spanish feet was
leaving the harbor. The enemy evidently
attempted to divert the attention of our
troops, but the Americans responded SO
willingly that the fire soon ceased and
was only resumed at intervals during the
remainder of the DAY.
Last night at about one O'Clock the
enemy came out of the trenches about the
city walls in large force and dashed
straight for the American lines. In one
or two places our men fell back from
their position, but quickly rallied and
drove the enemy back pell nell all in
their own bitches. The Spanish losses
must have been frightful, as they were
exposed to terrific fire for quarter of
an hour.
The losses on the American side were
very light, as our soldiers lay in the rifle
pits and had every adya ntage.
The most daring of the Spanish forces
are the sharp shooters They take their
positions almost at the wall. and from

locate them.
