We continued the march in impenetra-
BILE darkness all night, not daring to fol-
low road until daylight.
Sunday, May II, found us still
plodding along, worn out, hungry and
sleepy, with no prospect of food or rest.
We stopped long enough to call the roll
and ascertain that out of 81 who went
into the fight, our company had IL
missing-three Sergeants and nine pri-
Yates. How many of these were killed
and wounded we do not know, but pre-
sumo a part of them at least were
captured.
After a 30-minutes' rest We moved on
at sunrise and continued the march all
day, scarcely able to drag one foot after
the other.
At sunset we went into camp near
Crystal Springs, having been "on foot !"
36 hours without a bite of food, and,
worse, had to go to sleep supperless.
Near Crystal Springs, Miss, May 1S.-

Abstract Of the Important Proceed
ings.

In the Senate on Tuesday, Jan. II, the
Nicaragua Canal bill was called up by Mr..
Morgan. and Mr. Chiffon spoke in its favor.
MIR. Chiffon believed that the pending
measure was the only practical solution OF
the question at the present time, and he de-
voted considerable time TO answering prevI-
Gus objections that had been made to it.
MIR. Spooner followed Mr.. Chiffon. He
was heartily in favor of the canal, lie de-
cared, but thought the only way to get it
was to first treat automatically with Great
Britain and gain her consent, and then buy
the right of way, and thus own the canal
when it was completed.
In the House the Naval personnel bill
passed with only one amendment other than
those presented by the Committee on Naval
Affairs. Among the latter were amendments
inserting provisions for .Judge-Advocate

Army, providing for the total abolition here.
