Brashear City and New Orleans. while
he himself attacked Brashear City
from the Bayou Teche side with the
other column, consisting of Mouton's S
and Green's Brigades.
This was plan of much brilliance,
and as Taylor knew by this time that
there was nothing before him but iso-
lated posts feebly garrisoned by fever
smitten and dispirited invalids there
was every hope Of sweeping success.
He might even capture New Orleans.
June 10 Col. Major crossed the
Atchafalaya, and after threatening Port
Hudson dashed into Plaquemine, 112
miles above New Orleans, where he cap
tured number of invalids and de-
stroyed three little transports. At
Bayou Coula he recaptured about l 900
negroes. and at Thibodeaux several hun
dred convalescents. Though he was sew
eral times stronger than the nominal
strength Of the garrison at Donaldsville
he declined to attack, but hurried on to
TerrebOnne to cut the railroad and pre-
vent the retreat Of the garrison from
Brashear City.
Emory had learned of the danger,
and was trying to wake up the COM
mander at Brashear City to the urgency
of the situation. He also stripped the
slender garrison of New Orleans Of two
regiments to send out to Col. Stickney
at TerrebOnne and sent orders to that
officer to defend his position and take
the reinforcements dispatched to him
and try to relieve the garrisons at Bra
shear City. In the meanwhile Stickney
had gathered up all the available forces
within reach-say, 500 or 4OO-and

At Dinwiddic.

From this point We hurried on to
Dfnwiddie Court House, where the adj
vance guard captured some Of the
enemy's pickets and drove the remain
der in short order out of the town. The
brigade pushed out a mile or two on
the Five Forks road. and unsaddled,
the 1st U. s. Cav, by virtue of it's hon.
orable place at the head Of the roster,
going on picket, with Outposts well out
in the direction of Five Forks. The
rain which poured down all night
helped to keep things quiet on the
picket line, but a reconnaissance on the
following morning developed the fact
that Fitz Hugh Lees troopers were on
the alert in our front. We were, how
ever, satisfied that they should remain
while on their good behavior, and the
forenoon passed with only an occa-
sional shot exchanged as the patrols
on either side became too enterprising.
Towards or 10 o'clock heavy firing
was heard off to our right, informing
us that our infantry, which had been
hugging the intrenchments in front Of
Petersburg during the weary months of
Winter, was at last on the move. Soon
after noon an order for q movement
came, and the brigade moved out on
the Five Forks road, the 9Th Pa. and
the I'd Mass. having the advance. The
enemy's cavalry was soon developed
in full strength, but the attack was
pressed vigorously by the whole bril-
gade, and the enemy was driven to the
vicinity of Five Forks. The face of the
country in this region is thickly covered
with woods and thickets of brush, while

aroused to the necessity OF resistance.
The regiment, however. finally rallied
around their colors. and vigorously
opening fire, soon had the brigade fully
aware that 1t had, at last, attracted
attention.
A New Assault.
A low ridge covered with brush and
scattered timber extended to the left
some distance beyond the flank of the
line we had surprised, and following
the directions of an officer of Gen.
Sheridan's staff the only mounted
officer in sight, an attempt was made
by the troops composing the left of our
line to occupy 1t. But when within a
few yards of the crest voices and the
sound of marching troops were heard.
The command, Halt" repeated the
length Of long line, was Immediately
followed by Commence firing. The
dispersed condition of the brigade rem
dered it impossible for 1T to keep its
position in the face of the destructive
fire which was now poured in at short
range For a time it was every one for
himself, a general scramble taking
place for the possession Of the scattered
trees or anything else which promised
a chance of protection from the deadly
storm of lead which had overtaken US.
The staff officer disappeared; and dodg-
ing through the brush and from tree
to tree, the disordered lines were slowly
forced back in the direction of the
Court House.

ITO the cannonade that preceded the
assault and announced it to the enemy
must be attributed not only the failure
but great part of the loss. The
wearied Confederates were asleep be-
hind the breastworks when the roar Of
the Union artillery broke the stiffness
of the morning, and gave them time to
make ready. Such was their extremity
that in Growers front they burned their
last caps in repelling the final assault,
and, for the time, were able to replen-

heavy details and volunteer parties of
stretcher- bearers, plying their melan-
choly trade, carried the wounded with
gentle care to the hospitals and the

proportion of killed and mortally
wounded, already unusually heavy, was
increased by the exposure and priva-
tions of the long day, while many,
whom 1T was impossible to find or to
reach during the night, succumbed
sooner or later during the next 4S
hours. For although when, on the

familiar ground toward Five Forks.
The Fifth Corps Arrives.

At the crossroads near the old camp
of the brigade we found Ayres's Divi-
sion of the Fifth Corps. which had
marched nearly all night TO the assist
ance OF the cavalry. The soldierly and
business-like appearance Of these troops
inspired confidence in their fighting
qualities, and as we rode past the men
exchanged friendly greetings. A little
farther on we came up with Gen. Grtf-
fin. with his division. and the impress
sion gained ground that the force in
our front was likely to have occasion
TO regret its boldness in venturing so
far beyond the protecting care of the
wise commander OF the Army OF North
ern Virginia.
Meanwhile the resistance to our adj
vance was becoming more determined;
and the brigade was deployed In skir-
mishing order, the 1st T.. ). Cav. on
the left and connecting with Clusters
Division. The most of the men were
dismounted, but the led-horses and the
mounted supports were kept well up to
the skirmish line, and when opportuni-
ty was offered mounted rushes wero
made to dislodge the skirmishers OF
the enemy from their chosen positions.
Our advance through the thick brush
and bOggy ground was necessarily slow,
and at several points such resistance
was encountered as to necessitate a
concentration and strengthening OF the
skirmish line.
Finally. about noon, the 1st u. S.
Cav. found its progress checked by
particularly vicious nest of sharpshoot-
ers, snugly ensconced behind line OF
fallen logs surrounded by thick brush,
on the farther side Of cleared field.

RIDICULE
THE BOSTON
ANCIENTS

Boston, Feb. 1.-THE record. historical
traditions and present purposes OF the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery COM
pany, the Oldest military organization IN
the United States, came in for a severe
arraIgnment at the state house yesterday
at a hearing on a measure providing that
the members OF the organization shall no
longer be exempt from jury duty In
Massa chusetts.
The Federation OF Labor is opposed TO
the present law exempting the Ancents
and wants IL repealed.
Frank Foster opened the hearing FOR
the petitioners, and read resolution
passed at a recent meeting OF the Fedora
ton In Labor, In which it represents that
the Ancients enjoy exemption from jury
duty, through representations not found
ed on fact, and that their exemption al
lows an excuse for men who can afford
TO do jury duty 10 escape IL; while the
additional burden is placed upon those
who can neither afford TO do jury duty
nor to join the Ancients.
William A. Morse commander OF the
AncieRts, said the resolution is wrong In
fact as the company was chartered In
since.
II is composed Of about GOO members,
about 400 OF whom live in this common
wealth. OF these many are over 50, and
a large number OF others are doctors and
lawyers. and exempt for that reason.
Therefore the number who would be
affected by the withdrawal Of the exemp-
tion would be very small.
r.. Gerry Brown OF Broclton. speaking
for the petitioner. ridiculed the claim OF
the Ancients that they have had an un-
interrupted existence since 1893
Mr.. Brown contended that the historian
OF the company had CLOSED over the
period from lT7I 20 1875, In which he claims
that the company was not IN existence.
He also cited authority for a statement
that In 1856 the governor was escorted by
a Roxbury company because there was no
arks In hn pitry 80
The committee then attempted TO deter
mine whether tho governor has authority
to call out the Ancient and Honorable
Brown stoutly denied Il. The hearing
then closed.
