Mounting our horses, we again resumed
our march. When within two miles OF
Jackson the flag bearer halted. We rode
forward to him, and from his position we
had a plain view of the city. Further in
structions were given to the men, and with
the flag well in advance we entered a low,
dark creek bottom thickly covered with
trees. The creek crossed and recrossed
the road, which was corduroyed for half a
mile with rails, poles and brush, to make
it passable, with an occasional small dam
gerous bridge spanning the muddy stream
beneath.
Having at last emerged from the
swamp, we ascended a small hill at the
edge of the woods. We were now Oh IA
niliar ground. On this hill we did pick
ct duty two years before, and here we
expected to be halted by rebel pickets. To
our surprise, none We're encountered. In
front of us was plain or open field,
three-fOurths of mile wide and extend

on either side of which we saw hundreds
