marched at one A. M., by the flank, in the above order, hoping to surprise the battery. As — usual the rebels were prepared for them, and opened upon them as they were deep in one of those almost impassable Southern marshes. The One Hundred and Third New York, which had previously been in twenty battles, was thrown into confusion; the Thirty-Third United States did better, being behind ;the Fifty-Fifth Massachusetts being in the rear, did better still. All three formed in line, when Colonel Hartwell, commanding the brigade, gave the order to retreat. The officer commanding the Fifty-Fifth Massachusetts, either misunderstanding the order, or hearing it countermanded, ordered his regiment to charge. This order was at once repeated by Major Trowbridge, commanding the Thirty-Third United States, and by the commander of the One Hundred and Third New York, so that the three regiments reached the fort in reversed order. The color-bearers of the Thirty-Third United States and of the Fif

t off communication with the interior of the State. It was my desire that the honor of this service should have been given to the patriotic citizens of the counties in the immediate vicinity. But as these were not at that time organized and armed for patriotic duty, and the necessity for speedy action was imperative, the requisition was filled from companies previously tendered from other portions of the State. --N. Y. Evening Post, April 29. The Gulf City Guards, of Mobile, Ala., Capt. Hartwell, left that place for Virginia. The Register says:--This is a fine and gallant company, of the flower of Mobile. Verily has Mobile contributed 400 of her best and most chivalrous youth in the four companies that have gone North, and yet the demand for marching orders has not abated in the least. Companies are offering their services and others are forming. Mobile has 4,500 fighting men. We have about 1,000 in the field, and the balance are ready to march. About 5 o'clock, the Guards

culture. He is a graduate of Harvard College. I have the honor now to request, and express my fervent wish, that he may receive at once that commission, as well deserved by an intrepidity and a merit so eminent. Colonel Bartlett was commissioned brigadier-general of volunteers, June 27, 1864, and was afterwards brevetted major-general for brave and meritorious services in the field. On the 10th of May, the Governor forwarded to Senator Sumner a letter which he had received from Colonel Hartwell, of the Fifty-fifth Regiment, showing the discontent which existed in that and the other colored regiment, because of the refusal of the Government to pay them the same as white troops. In forwarding the letter, the Governor writes,— For God's sake, how long is the injustice of the Government to be continued towards these men? Is it intended, by still deliberately withholding from them what the Attorney-General of the United States has decided to be their legal right, to goad th

teries, they left piggy on an island, and on their return could not find him and suspected desertion, which he disproved by swimming out to join the next gunboat that came up the Stono River, the McDonough, from which the Montauk afterwards reclaimed him. Now he inspects the regiment daily at dress parade and afterwards marches up with the line of officers to salute the commandant. This Dr. Minor writes. Worcester, October 28 To-morrow I may go to Boston chiefly to see on business Colonel Hartwell, of the Massachusetts Fifty-Fifth, just from Folly Island, and may either go to the opera or to a Republican dinner to Sumner and Wilson. I hanker after opera, and indeed after all the vanities of life; one returns from the seat of war with a wholesome appetite for luxuries.... Mary declares that in reading to her from Trowbridge's letter something about tales of rebel atrocities, I stopped and groaned, as she supposed for the atrocities, until I added, He spells tales tails.

foresight in the preparations. This lack was certainly a very familiar thing in the Department of the South, where, in a most intricate and peculiar country, expeditions have been repeatedly sent out without the slightest previous investigation and wholly without knowledge of the localities,—attempting to navigate unnavigable streams and to cross bayous of impassable mud,—and this when opposed to an enemy that knew every by-path and held interior lines. On November 30 the 55th Mass. (Colonel Hartwell) lost thirty-one killed and thirty-eight wounded. The list of killed in this battle included Lieut. David Reid of Boston, who had had a curious sense of certainty of his own death, yet met his death in the forefront of battle, his body lying in advance of the artillery pieces until brought back.
