Maj. II. S. Garnett. then Brigadier-

Carrick's Ford, several hundred miles
from Harper's Ferry, July Is, 1861, by,
it is believed, one of the 18th Ohio.

Gen H. w. Benham, in which he says:
While examining the dead at this posi-
ton, Sergeant-Major Gordon Of the

knew Garnett, saying an officer had just
been killed at the next ford who had
stars on his shoulders Gen. Benham
states that he at once accompanied Cor
don, crossing the ford, and about 20 yards
beyond found the rebel General, K. s.
Garnett lying dead, and near him the
body of a lad in the uniform of the
Georgia troops (gray, with black faclngs'
like that of our Indiana reglments). Gen-
Benham further says: mo other signs
of strife were near, and L learned that

that the next day we selected Garnett's

were placed in a box with salt, and Maj.
Gordon, by Gen. Morris's order, was sent
with the body, sword, etc, to Grafton,
from which place they were forwarded as

Next morning we were safely ensconced
behind a strong line of earthworks, which
made us feel reasonably contented in spite
of the incessant firing by the enemy.
ARTILLERY DUELs.
Close to our regiment was a battery,
which engaged In daily duels with the en-
emy. We would watch the enemy's works
until we saw a flash or a puff of smoke,
when down we would dive to hug the
ground behind our works, there to remain
until the shell had exploded or had passed
by.
Occasionally one of our batteries would
turn their attention to some rebel picket
post on the opposite side Of the Nicka-
jack, causing the rails and sand to fly and
the enemy to seek places of safety.
Thus day after day were the scenes re-
peated until the morning of July 10, when
the fact was made known to us that the
enemy had evacuated his works on our
front, and had fallen back to the south
side of the Chattahoochee River.
Early in the day an advance was or
dered along the whole line, and soon after
the abandoned works were occupied by
the men who wore the blue, and our skir-
mish line pushed to the river bank.
