An Anomalous Manner of Battle.

The terrific struggle which filled that
,png sultry afternoon of July % was
wholly unlike any other battle of the
war, probably any other battle in the
history OF the world. 1t was made up
of thousands OF smaller battles. some
times of groups, companies. regiments
or brigades, sometimes of divisions.

XII. Serg't Samuel Denton, Co. E,

Honor for having saved his regimental
colors during the battle of July %, 1864.
When the regiment was hard pressed
by overpowering numbers. in the con-
fusion of changing front, the color
bearer was shot down and the colors
left on the ground. AS soon as Serg' t
Denton perceived it he rushed forward,
seized the colors and bore them tri-

der, but while discussing the subject on
the right, we saw the left going over
| the works, surrounded by rebel bayo-
nets. We followed their example, and
were soon marching over the ground
where lay the work of our hands, in the
form of the rebel dead and wounded.
| We had the satisfaction of seeing for
every man of us surrendered at least
| one dead or wounded rebel lying on
that field of gore. Many of our officers
and men were robbed by the rebels of
almost everything as they left the
ground. At the time of our surrender
We were entirely out of ammunition,
| the rebels having been so long in our
rear that supplies were prevented from
| reaching us. Why we were left alone,
| an isolated regiment, surrounded and
helpless, while the other regiments
around us were ordered from their
| works, as l suppose they were, cannot
realize. If the sacrifice of this noble
regiment was intended to give the army
in our rear time to rally, then it was
| well, and the sacrifice was nobly made
of band of as brave and faithful men
as any who fought upon the field that
day. They could not be taken from the
front, and only surrendered when fur
ther resistance would have been suicide.
THE regiment numbered on the
morning of the I'd 425 effective fighting
men. OF these fatigue detail of three
officers and 80 men was made in the
morning. most of whom were captured
afterward while fighting in front of
field works close by. Our loss in killed

Gen. Sherman gives strange reason
for not rendering more assistance to

"The battle of July % is usually
called the battle of Atlanta. 1t extend

situation outside. I purposely allowed
battle almost unaided, save by demon
strations on the part of Gems. Schotield
and Thomas against the fortified lines
to their immediate fronts. and by de-
taching, as described, one Of Schofield's
brigades to Decatur, because I knew
that the attacking force could only be
a part of Hoods army, and that il any
assistance were rendered by either of
the other armies the Army of the Ten

but in making his way to the rear he
came upon Gen. Mcpherson lying NOR

troubles. ministered to the dying Cen

him water and doing whatever else he
could. After the General died Reynolds
ran back and found two of his staff

The Capture OF the 18tb Iowa.

Lieut.-Col. Addison II. Saunders, 10th
Iowa, tells the story in detail Of the
capture of large portion of his regi-
ment. and incidentally gives us vivid
picture of the desperate nearness of
the fighting all along the line:
1.-The Sth and I'd Ark, with two Texas
companies, got into a position in our
front, in which they could not advance
and dared not attempt to retire, but
hugged the ground close, suffering a
terrible fire. While thus lying down
they raised the white flag. 1 ordered
the firing to cease, and these regiments
threw down their guns and hurried
over TO our works as prisoners. We
had at this time double the number of
prisoners we had men in ranks A part
Of these men were sent to the rear but

New Seed Wheat

The Vollmer Clearwater Co. has
received car of winter seed wheat
for distribution among the ranrhers
OF this section. This is winter
wheat, College Wheat No. 1873, cross
between Little Club and White Rock;
il is very strong in gluten, testing
double what Bluestem raised in this
section does.
While this wheat has never been
tried in this section and immediate
vicinity, we are assured by the ex.
pertinent station that 1t is adapted to
this climate and has been tried near
Pullman, being very prolific yielder
as we'll as hue milling wheat.
the V. c. Co. are Distributing this
wheat at S1.00 bushel, which is a
very low price for this new winter
wheat, cleaned and graded.

Kendrick Markets

The wheat market remains at 74c.
the same as week ago, but is not
very firm even at that, and many of
the ranchers are holding off. waiting
for better price, which it seems to
be the almost unanimous opinion is
bound to come. Oats, barley and hay
are firm at about the same prices as
have prevailed most of the fall.
In regard to the bean crop. a few
days ago it was possible to contract
for SIC. but the price is off a little
today with small prospect of going
higher for sometime if at all.
In this connection we quote from
letter from a wholesale house: 1--WE
have not been anxious to quote prices
on beans on account of the large crop
raised this year locally, together with
the fact that California aud Michigan
also have big crops This year, and it
looks as if we would not see very high
prices for beans this season. **#**
1t is important that in order to secure
good price all beans should be we'll
cleaned and graded and resacked into
regular bean bags; the gram bag will
not do. it is altogether too large"
The reason for this is that the beans
from this section have to compete
with the beans from California and
Michigan, all of which are sacked IN
regular ssh. bean sacks.
The general impression seems to be
among all the buyers that if farmer
can contract today for between az
and 34 for No. small whites, and
between 2 n and Sc for No. medium
whites or No. red miners, for clean
well graded stock, that this is a good
price for the present. outlook.
1t is probable that in the near
future a new up-to-date bean cleaner
aud grader will set up in Kendrick.
