my post being the right of the First Division,

our right. The Vermont Brigade pickets
were at the ford, nearly so rods to our right
A ford to our left about 40 rods was guarded
by 40 men of Co.'S. f and l. of our regiment
The ground between these fords on the east
side of the Creek is steep ledge about 40
feet high.
About o'clock a. IN. we heard men talk
ing across the Creek in rear of upper ford :;
we also heard what proved to be artillery
wheels. Not a gun had been fired Sud
denly out of the darkness came the sound of
musketry at the upper ford, and little later
small cannon opened on the ford.
1t was at this time that the first men were
killed in the battle. They were of the Yer
mont Brigade-one of the 9Th and one of the
18th regiment
In about half an hour the firing suddenly
changed to the LETT of the army. From our

ON THE MUD MARCH.
An Exasperatins Experience With Burn
side in January, 1868.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After the
battle of fredericksburg December, 1862,
Gen. Burnside established his camps at Fall
mouth and White Oak Church, with his base
of supplies by water at Belle Plain. He COM
menced Immediately to reorganize his army
for another campaign, and placed the troops
of the grand divisions under his most skill
ful commanders. The right was under Gen.
Sumner, the left under Gen. Franklin, the
center under Gen. Hooker the Eleventh and
Twelfth Corps as 4 reserve under Gen. Sigel.
On JAN 30, 1868, the different commanders
received marching orders. The center grand
division was ordered to march to the Kappa
hammock, at point above Banks's Ford,
bivouac for the night. and be prepared to
cross the river at daylight in pOntoon-boats
A portion of the pontoons had already ar
rived, and was followed by artillery to be
stationed on the north bank to cover the
crossing over the pontoon- bridge.
The left grand division marched IL miles
and encamped near the river for the night.
1t was the intention of Gen. Burnside to
move as quickly as possible and surprise Lee.
The commands arrived at the appointed
time and awaited patiently the arrival of the
morrow to test their powers with Lees vet
Grams on another field. Along the picket-hne
there was scarcely a shot fired, quietness
reigned, and within the camps the troops
were resting from their weary march.
Midnight had arrived, the clouds are thick
ening, drops of rain began to fall. Faster
and faster it came until the camps were del
uged. The morning of the 21st dawned,
and still the rain was falling in torrents.
The Rappahannock was swollen, and Lee
had arrived on the opposite side and dis.
covered Burnside's plans.
The troops were drenched and the artillery
horses floundering Orderlies covered with
mud were flying to and fro with dispatches.
Night came, but with no rest for Burnside's
army. The morning of the 22d arrived, with
no prospects for move, the roads were
blocked with pontOons and artillery.
The following day the army was ordered
to move, not to the front, but back to its old
camp, where we arrived, after the hardest
and most tiresome marches of the war.
This closed the second unsuccessful campaign
of Burnside. PLOYD, Sergeant, Co. b,

press swamp told rs that the 54th Ind. which
had relieved us, was seriously engaged. The

the rebels were forcing the 54th back.

We asccnded the YazOo on the 26th; landed
about 10 miles from the Bluffs and took up
our march toward the enemy Their pckets
discovered us and fell back before our adj

peared more resolute, their support more
solid, and they were disposed to dispute our
advance. Heavy skirmishing was now going
on. We were marching up the levee toward
the Bluffs.
The first man killed was David Burton,

resulted in our driving the enemy back and

commanded by George W. Morgan, and the

On Christmas eve we anchored at the mouth

could not comprehend or tolerate any

National Authority, or of the absolute
right of the Government to the Use of

the Nation. A letter to Gen. Meigs,
written the day after the Centennial
ceremonies in honor of the Supreme
Court of the United S:ates, embodes
his jealous sentiments on this vital point:

DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION.
Candidate Van wyck Makes His
Debut.
NEW YORK nnt

NEW YORK. oct. 1f-Augustus Van

of the state Of New York, made his first
public appearance since his acceptance
of the nomination last night In the
Academy of Music Brooklyn and 10
the accompaniment OF a din almost in
conceivable from human throng heard
that nomination ratified.
More than 5000 persons were packed
into the building. and half that number
surged about the doors and down the
street, where at i've minute intervals
impromptu ratification speeches were
set or, only to be drowned in the
cheers.
1t broke hitherto firmly established
Brooklyn records for a Democratic out
pouring, and the leaders made merry
over the enthusiasm.
The resolutions, almost entirely de-
voted TO an arraignment Of the admin
istration, suited the temperament OF the
listening thousands. the introductions
we're happy and the speech OF the can
didate brought on fitting elimination
of the enthusiasm.
Though the doors of the Academy
were thrown open three hours before
the hour set for the meeting, the build
ing was filled an hour later, and at Z
o'clock was packed to such an extent
that it seemed impossible for another
man to get In.
Like Carnegie hall the night of thS
Roosevelt meeting. the place was deco.
rated In color scheme, taking the ma.
tional colors for n groundwork, but thi
idea was carried further, and interna.
tional colors without end waved before
q background of the stars and stripes
While the building filled a band play
ed, and the whole gamut Of national
airs was run while the crowd sung ir
varying choruses or cheered where tn,
words 'dld not come readily.
Speeches were made by Judge Gay
nor, who acted as chairman; Andrew
r. Mclean, Edward NJ. Shepard anC
Justice Van Wyck, who were enthusl
astically received.
