the portage west Of here where begins
the Chicago drainage ship canal.
Work on this canal was begun Sept.

remarkable prophecy made 234 years
ago is now being fulfilled.
This end of Robey street is the his

some incidents connected With that (for
us) very busy time, those in the other
brigades knowing nothing .about it.
When our brigade Inardhed back to
Corinth from Tuscumbia, Just previous
to the battle of Iuka,. the Sth Wis. and
two companies Of the 18th Ill. Cav. were
left in Iuka to guard a large quantity
of hospital stores that for some reason
had been left in 1uka. Three days be-
fore the battle. early in the morning,
the rebels drove in our picket guard.
We stood them off that day, but along;
toward evening things began to look
serious. No doubt they thought we had
more men than We did have, or they
would have captured the wacie outfit.
In the evening, after it was dark, we
left our tents standing. and very quiet

We arrived In Pennington, near Co
rinth, early in the morning, an1 hardly
had time to eat breakfast, when we
were ordered to Join our brigade, which

Osborn H Oldroyd. whose residence fs
now in the same house in which Lincoln
died at Washington, d. c., has prepared
an appropriate service to commemorate
that occasion.

there can exist a single Post or Corps
that could not subscribe for and easily
dispose of at least 100 copies OF this pro-
duction, and thus make a profit of an
amount equal to purchase price, besides

Day after day the work goes bravely on,

weeks of working day and night and
the batteries are completed, and from
their concealed embrasures half a hun

rebel works on Morris Isfaad. Our bat

fire ranging with that of the rebels on
Morris Island. The first line is about
1900 yards from the rebel batteries, the
second about a mile. Both lines are

Brig. Terry and his division are
to engage the enemy on James Island.
Gen. Strong's Brigade is to go up Folly
River in lanches, and secrete themselves
behind the trees which cover Light
House Inlet on the left and await the
opportunity to land on Morris Island
and carry the batteries of the enemy by
assault. which are half a dozen immense
sandhills extending parallel with the
beach, about three-quarters of mile
upwards. These hills are natural forti-
fications, and upon each of them the
enemy has guns mounted traversing
Ithree-quarters of the circle, so that they
can be used either to repel an attack
from Folly Island or the sea.

troops prepare for the struggle of the

Admiral Dahlgren proposes to try their
virtues either on Forts Sumter, Wagner
or Gregg. Gen. Terry's forces have al
ready opened the ball on James Island.

Island, and the army in blue retires for

streaks the sky, and the boys are under

half hundred guns and mortars ready
