ing themselves, and so we returned to
camp.
Through the heat of the day there was
not much cannonading. The enemy's
sharpshooters kept at work, however, and
two men of our reg iment were wounded
while cooking at the fire in camp. About
5 in the evening the batteries opened
around the whole line. and for an hour
and a half the cannOnading was most ter
rife. 1t was constant thunder. How they
can endure the storm of iron hail Is diff
cult for me to imagine, for there is not
point in all their lines but what our shells
can reach. In the battle near Raymond
and in the retreat from there, the enemy
lost nearly all his big guns, so that in all
the lines in rear of the city they have but
two or three guns, and this is most lucky
for us.
Saturday, May 3O.-Considerable firing
all day, both from the cannon and the
rife pits. / went up to our rifle pits in
the morning, and in the evening | went
in company with the Officer of the Day
to all the rife pits of the brigade. 1t was
after dark. but the moon shone brightly.
The p;ckets were talking and joking with
each other, and once in a while they would
pop away with their muskets.
Sur day, May BIN the fore part of
last night the mortar boats kept up con-
slant fire on the city, and just before day
this morning all our batteries opened, and
more terrific fire l never heard. The
| fiery shells went screeching through the
air. and their explosion made horrible dis
cords inside the enemy's works. Indeed,
| the thunder and blaze of the artillery, the
roaring, screaming and screeching of the
shells and their lurid glare and explosion
created a scene more like pandemonium
| than anything else. 1t must have been a
trying oldeal to the enemy About day
the heavy firing ceased; then occasional
| shooting was still kept IN.
