addles was sounded, and the camp was instantly astir, and in the gray of the morning we were on the Plank road leading to the hill.

ey were shot at by sharp-shooters from the bluff, under orders from Dunnington and Williams. The boats from the other vessels put off at once to the rescue, and were riddled with shot while picking up their comrades. Out of 175 officers and men on board the Mound City, only 23 answered to their names at the roll-call that evening, and these were men and boys that were in the shell-room and magazine when the explosion took place. The only officers unhurt were Dominy, the first master, and McElroy, the gunner. Eighty-two men perished in the casemate, 43 were killed in the water or drowned, and 25 were severely wounded. The latter, among whom was the gallant Kilty, were sent at once to Memphis in the Conestoga. The Mound City remained at St. Charles, under First Master John H. Duble, of the Conestoga, with a crew of one hundred of Fitch's men, her injuries being temporarily repaired. The expedition continued up White River as far as Crooked Point Cut-off, 63 miles above St. Char

Nowhere in the war was individual example more splendidly illustrated than on that fatal slope and in that bloody ditch. Some of the battle-flags were planted on the exterior crest and maintained there for some time by a succession of color-bearers. Colonel S. Z. Ruff, 18th Georgia, commanding Wofford's brigade; Colonel H. P. Thomas, of the 16th Georgia; and Colonel Kennon McElroy, 13th Mississippi, were killed, and Lieutenant-Colonel Fiser, 17th Mississippi, lost an arm upon the parapet. Adjutant T. W. Cumming, of the 16th Georgia, penetrated the fort through an embrasure and was captured inside, assuring his captors that they would all be his prisoners within a few minutes. Lieutenant Munger, of the 9th Georgia, got into another embrasure, and, finding himself alone, emptied a revolver at the gunners and made his escape.--E. P. A. For fully twenty minutes
