HURRYING Up MCLFRNAND.
About O'Clock in the afternoon of May
-, Gen. Grant reached Clinton. He i'm
Incdiately issued the following order 10
Gen. McClernand: Move your command

ruemy's force if you encounter him, and
without bringing on u general engagement
unless you feel able TO contend with him.
Communicate this order 10 Maj-Gcn.
Blair, who will move with you"
Gen. Grant remained at Clinton during
the night. Before daylight two men came
to the picket line OF Holiness Brigade of
the Fifteenth Corps. They were taken
10 headquarters and questioned. Their
statements were OF such Importance that
they were at once taken to Gen Grant 5
headquarters, the General being with the
brigade for the night. These two men
were descrters from Pembcrtou's army.
They informed Gen. Grant that PrInber-

1t has been the custom with former
Commissioners of Pensions TO largely in
crease the output of original and increase
claims just before the holidays, but the
present incumbent always slacks up about
that time, no doubt thinking the old army
wrecks are not deserving, and it would
be waste of money TO grant their long
delayed claims, or give them an increase
that would add comfort to weary and dis
tressed soldiers in their declining days
Oh, God, how much longer will the de-
Tenders of this country have to be tor
tured by Ii. Clay Evans? The boys are
getting old and tOttering, and are deserv-

they ask of the Commissioner of Pensions
is TO construe the law as il is. This has
not been done by Mr.. Evans. There are
many worthy and deserving soldiers in
this County who cannot get the relief
they are honestly entitled to under the
laws passed by Congress.

leading to Edwards Station, and which
passes over Champions Hill.
The firing between Hoyey and the
enemy increased, but Gen. Grant did not
wish to force the fighting until he could
hear from Gen. McClernand, who, with
four divisions, was moving in the direction
Of Edwards Depot. At 1915 o'clock a.
IN. he sent a written order to Gen. Nc
Clcrnani as follows:
From all information gathered from
citizens and prisoners, the mass Of the
enemy are south of Hovey's Division.
Mcpherson is now up with Hoyey, and
can support him at any point. Close up
all your forces rs eXpeditiously as possible,
but cautiously. The enemy must not be
allowed to get TO our rear. IL you can
communicate with Blair and Ransom do
so. and direct them to come up to your
support by the most expeditions route"
Logan's Division had been posted to the
right of Hovey, being advanced around
the base Of the ridge almost ut right
angles with lIoyey. Mcpherson posted
two batteries upon the extreme right of
the line and opened fire. The whole line
advanced. The enemy Hsed the musket
with deadly effect, but Hoyey drove them

prisoners ana gained the brow of the hill

1t is important that the greatest celerity
should be shown in carrying out the move
ments, as / have evidence that the entire
force of the enemy was at Edwards
Depot at p. In. last night, and was still
advancing. The. fight may therefore be
brought on at any moment. We should
have every man in the field"
This dispatch reached Gen. Sherman at
I a. m, and Steele's Division was on the
road within an hour, the balance of the
Fifteenth Corps was TO follow as soon as
possible.
Gen. Grant also sent orders to McCler-
nand to direct Maj.-Gen. Blair TO move
with his division TO the support of Gen.
Osterhaus as soon as possible. moving on
the same line, by the first lateral road
leading into the one on which Osterhaus is
now marching"
To Blair he sent orders direct, urging
him TO pass your troops to the front of

To Mcpherson he wrote: "The enemy

PESBERTON's ABoUT-FACE.
The order from Gen. Johnston received
by Gen Pemberton at 6:30 a. m, May 1G,
Immediately changed his plan Of moving
south against Dillon; his army turned their
faces northward and at once began a
retrograde movement his aim being to
gain the wagon road north Of the railroad
and then turn east toward Clinton. This
movement began about o'clock a. IN.
Gen. A. J. Smith. followed by Gen. Blair,
was moving on the southern road, Gen.
Carr and OsterbauS on the middle road
and Hoyey by the road from Bolton, all
converging on Edwards Depot. A. j.
Smith struck the Confederate column first
just about o'clock about five miles from
Edwards Depot. He drove in the rebel
outpost and advanced about half mile,
opening fire with his artillery. Gen. Penn.
berton returned the fire promptly. Oster.
haus hearing the artillery, drew to his
ieft, pushed forward, and soon encounter
ed skirmishers, which he drove before
him, when he developed large body of
the enemy Gen. Pemberton could not
realize that Gen. Grant was before him
with two corps. He continued to with
draw, supposins he had encountered Il
small body of troops which would soon
draw off; but in this he found himself
greatly mistaken.
The continuous firing at his front con

surrounding country; the crest is bald, but
the sides are covered with heavy timber.

A preliminary report of this work,

CLOSING UP THE LINE.

In extending his line to the right Logan
had left 4 gap to his left. Into this
Crocker's two additional briGades were
thrown. Boomers Brigade, of Quinby's
Division, went in to the left of Hovey and
checked the rebel advance. Holiness
Brigade. also of Quinby's Division, was
ordered in by Gen. Grant in person. These
troops were in the road leading up
Champions Hill, the line of battle being
at right angle TO their position. The or
der was given to form line to the front
on the right, at double-quick. This order
was executed with great promptness and
skill; the whole brigade wheeling upon its
right, dashed through the woods, charged
up the hill, passed Boomers Brigades and
opened n murdcrOus fire upon the enemy.
The battle ragged furiously on the rebel
right for 40 minutes, Hovey's and Crock
ers Divisions also being actively engaged.
In the meantime Stevenson's Brigade of
LOgan's Division was moved forward at
dOube-quick upon the extreme right of
the command, attacking the rebel left,
capturing seven guns and several hundred
prisoners; Stevenson was recalled by di-
rection of Gen. Grant, but LOgan's attack
threatened the rebel line of retreat to
EicksburS and created q panic. The left
wing of the Union forces engaged renewed
the assault; the enemy broke and fled from
