On the following day, an avenging expedition, commanded by Major Strong, proceeded to Biloxi. It was composed of two gun-boats (Jackson and New London), and a transport with the Ninth Connecticut, Colonel Cahill, and Everett's battery on board. Fortunately for the Biloxians, they were quiet. Their place was captured without opposition, and the Mayor was compelled to make a humble apology in writing for the perfidy of his fellow-citizens in the matt

, Boys! your field-officers are all gone; I will lead you. They gave him hearty cheers, when a bullet passed through his breast, and he fell dead. He had just issued directions for the line to fall back, which it did in good order, with Colonel T. W. Cahill, of the Ninth Connecticut, in chief command. The Confederates, dreadfully smitten, also fell back, and then retreated. So ended the battle of Baton Rouge. See reports of Colonels Cahill, Dudley, and others, and Lieutenant Weitzel.

The Confederate loss is not known. The Nationals took about one hundred of them prisoners. The dreaded Arkansas, which was expected to sweep every National vessel from the Mississippi, and drive the Yankees from New Orleans, did not appear in time for the fight. On the following morning, Porter, with the Essex, accompanied by the Cayuga and Sumter, went up the river to meet her. Th

1st Indiana, posted at the crossing of the roads — whose Colonel, suffering from wounds previously received, had twice essayed to join it, and each time fallen from his horse — had lost its Lt.-Col., Keith, Maj. Hayes, and Adj. Latham--the two former severely wounded, the latter killed — when Gen. Williams, seeing Latham fall, exclaimed, Indianians! your field-officers are all killed: I will lead you! and was that moment shot through the breast and fell dead; the command devolving on Col. T. W. Cahill, 9th Connecticut. But the battle was already won. The Rebel attack had exhausted its vitality without achieving any decided success; while the Arkansas,from which so much had been expected, had failed to come to time. Leaving Vicksburg, At 2 A. M., Aug. 3. she had steamed leisurely down the river until within 15 miles of Baton Rouge, where her starboard engine broke down; and it had been but partially repaired when the sound of his guns announced to her the opening of Breckinrid<

troops were not encouraged by the non-appearance of the Arkansas, for they knew nothing about her. Our gunboats could not aid them — unless an attempt were to be made to turn their flanks — because they would have had to fire over our troops at very long range upon the enemy, which would have been disastrous. Suffice it to say that the enemy, after three hours and a half of fighting, the fog having lifted, were repulsed in full run, leaving their dead and wounded in piles in our hands. Colonel Cahill, of the Ninth Connecticut, was left in command. He cautiously sent out scouts to a very considerable distance, and found the houses on the route filled with the dead and wounded. A flag of truce came from the victorious (?) General Breckinridge, asking leave for a party to come in and bury the dead and to bring out General Clark who had been wounded. That flag of truce was answered that the task of burying the dead had already been substantially accomplished, and that General Clark wa

nemy's lines, requesting permission to bury the dead, which was instantly granted. Later in the day, another flag approached, with a document addressed To the commanding officer of the confederate forces outside of Baton Rouge. This was from Col. Cahill, and disclaimed the right of the officer sending the first. It appears that after Gen. Williams (who was chief in command) was killed, and Colonels Keith and McMillan had fallen, there was a controversy among the Federals as to the ranking officer, but the succession finally devolved on Cahill. One of the most hotly contested points of the field was a graveyard, from which the enemy had poured a galling fire, but which was finally wrested from them. Here the Sixth Kentucky found shelter, and suffered most of its loss. Truly it might have been remarked: In the midst of life we are in death. As we drove the Yankees into the town, they sought the protection of houses, from the windows of which they discharged murderous volleys
