the enemy. During the night we LAD
advanced into the open, and had hastily
constructed riie-pit, working with bayo-
nets, dippers, plates, etc.
At daviirht we were told that charge
was to BE- mall very soon, ana the de-
tails of il explained. 1t was 10 be des-
perate and sudden charge, and must per-
force be successful All had been ar
ranged. each man knowing his place and
duties, when suddenly we heard RAPID
firing conei lerablg to our right toward
Drewry's Bluff and the river, and coming
nearer and nearer. Very soon we OBJ
served the lines on our right break Oil to
the rear, and we simply di as others dli.
The fog at that m ,ment lifted, as a vail,
revealing each line 10 the other. Inc
enemy on or immediate front opened a
terrific artillery fire, sending death and
mutilation into or ranks as we fell back
across an open field. The memory OF that
one scene is vivid now. None expected 10
escape death or capture.
Men were cut down right and left, and
to add to the horrors, we passed many
wounded men who had taken refuge IN
the fallen timber, who piteously begged
us to assist them TO the rear, but whose
! appeals were in vain.
Suddenly there were heard ralIylng
cries, and what could be gathered OF the
| brigade were gotten together to make a
stand. The Sd n. II. formed on the right,
and after hasty preparations we resolutcly
started toward the approaching enemy.
! Several officers had been killed and
wounded, and Co. II had taat day lost

writer was assigned to that company. At
| it we went, meeting and repulsing the
enemy in substantially open field, driving
them to our own rie-pits and beyond.
| We took several prisoners, but mad no
spare time, for a large force OF the enemy
was almost upon us, and we again went
| raarward, passing down 10 Proctor 5 Creek,
wading across it without ceremony, and
up a hill not far from the railroad. The
rebels did not pursue US, and on this hill
we halted for rest, and our artillery sent
! iron commitments To show how we felt.
After a short halt we wended our way
through the woods to the pike, and thence
to Bermuda Hundred, where we started

sadder, knew more, were far less in mum

Silver Service Of the Battleskip Keutueky.

The battleship Kentucky, recently
launched, is to have the handsomest
silver service of any ship in the United
States Navy. The appeal 10 the citizens
of the BLUE Grass State" has met with a
generous response, and s6,0 600 has been
raised, all OF which will be spent for the
silver service, which will weigh 2,lOt
ounces, or 225 pounds, and is to consist OF
20 pieces, each of exquisite finish and
workmanship. The punch-bowl is p
inches in diameter, and has capacity OF
"A gallons. 1t is decorated on one side
with the head of Boone, and on the other
with the head of an Indian, both typifyine
the early history of Kentucky. The
service will be made in Philadelphia, and
will be presented next November, when
the ship goes into commission.

action. The enemy was taken by com

moved along the lie of woods toward
Drewry's Bluff across the railroad, ana
there remained during the night OF the
14th, then moving still nearer tle enemy.
The morn of the 16th-so well remeh-

and a heavy fog prevailing. The day pc
fore Sunday we could easily hear the
