tleield, near Bakers Creek. At dawn
Sunday, May II, we were up and moving
on to victory. After n rapid march of
about 10 miles we reached the Big Black,
where our advance columns were warmly
engaged with the enemy; but Sherman's
men having crossed the river above us,
caused the enemy in our front to melt
away like snow under a warm sun.
The pOntoons were now thrown across
the Black, and our advance columns were
soon climbing the bluffs on the west side.

FORT HILL.

l have said that in front of Logan's Di-
vision, and close to the Jackson road, was
the enemy's Fort Hill. 1t was decided by
our Engineer Officer Hickenlooper, or Nc
Pherson's staff, to undermine this fort and
blow it up. Accordingly, on June 10, a
portion of our regiment was engaged in
digging a deep diagonal trench which led
directly under the rebel fort.
In some manner the enemy learned what
was being done, and made an effort to
head our miners off by digging counter
trenches, so that the explosion would
break out at the sides and save the fort.
During the progress of this work the min
ers of the blue and the gray were at times
so close together that they could hear the
| thumps of each others picks. 4 turn
would then be made in some other direc-
| ton, and thus they avoided coming to-
gether. In due time the mine was COM
pleted, whereupon large quantity of pow
der was carried in, fuse was then at
tached, and on June 25 the match was APP
piled, lifting an immense body of dirt, and
in measure leveling the enemy's works.
Simultaneous with the explosion a charge
was ordered to take the works, but with
out success, though a fierce struggle en-
sued for possession.
1t was said that when the mine was
fired number of the enemy were hoisted
in an informal manner over into our
trenches, and among the number was a
rather intelligent colored man, who, when
asked his views upon the situation, and
what he thought of the shake up, replied

, supplies of food began to reach us, which
we needed very badly. We had left our
tents, knapsacks and cooking utensils at
Alilliken's Bend, and many of these arti-
cles we never saw again. In fact, we
were hard up for cooking utensils and
shelter from a boiling hot southern sun.
However, our canteens served us well in
our dilemma. One-half of the canteen was
used for frying-pan, and our tincups for
coffee pots.
May n to 81 we were occupying our
first position in front of Degolyer's bat

anticipating, and not little musketry.
We soon became accustomed to the roar

deeper the roots will penetrate, and
the better will the plants resist
