ments, fifty-four of them joined Col. Phelps' regiment. When Martindale came up he protested, and claimed his men.

They also caught Dave Lenox, but the latter managed to effect his escape. The Home Guards had been some time in charge of Clark's Mill, in Douglas County. A party of three hundred secessionists, under Freeman, were on a marauding expedition in that region, and threatened the Home Guards with an attack. They had robbed the stores at Vera Cruz and other places. They were encamped at Wilson's Mill, on Bryant's Fork of the White River, and when their position became known, the Home Guards made a spirited attack upon their camp, taking them completely by surprise. Thirty-three of the former advanced along a bluff, and when within three hundred yards of the rebels, who were at breakfast, fired seve

Campbell. I enclose a copy of the report of Dr. S. D. Freeman, regimental surgeon, showing a list of three killed and twenty-seven wounded. I trust the life of Captain Niles will be spared to his friends and his country. He led the flankers on the left yesterday, and though his tall figure made him a spirited company was well commanded in his absence by Lieuts. Yerkes and Swayne.

While all this was transpiring on shore, a schooner was discovered working her way back of Deer Island into Biloxi Bay. Acting-Master Freeman, executive officer of the Lewis, manned a boat and went in pursuit. After rowing about nine miles, he succeeded in overhauling the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Capt.
