New Orleans (Louisiana, United States) (search for this): chapter 218
Doc. 205.-fight on the Mississippi. Surgeon read's report. Carrollton, near New Orleans, September 12. To Governor Morton: sir: I have to report that the Twenty-first regiment of Indiana volunteers performed a very brilliant achievement on the eighth instant, twenty-five miles from New-Orleans, up the Mississippi and on its right bank, in utterly routing and dispersing five hundred mounted Texan Rangers, driving them into the swamps and capturing most of their horses. The guerrillas had for some time been molesting our steamers by firing into them, as they passed up and down. News reached headquarters that a regiment of Texan Rangers had come to aid in these outrages, and our regiment, with two others, were ordered up to disperse them, part to land above and part to land below them, to preclude the possibility of their escape. On the night of the seventh a part of the Fourth Wisconsin embarked on a transport, and at daylight next morning landed at the supposed place

well-armed and well-mounted men so thoroughly dispersed. But little may be apprehended from them in future, as it will take them a long time to equip in so good a manner. Capt. January is an old friend of mine, and he told me that they confidently expected to surprise and capture or kill our entire command. Three days before this, the Twenty-first landed nine miles below this point to disperse a band of guerrillas, who fired from ambush on a company of the Ninth Vermont stationed at Algiers, going on platform-cars twenty miles to their outpost on the railroad. We landed on the right bank of the river, and proceeded a few miles west, through canebrakes, to the railroad depot. As we approached it we saw eight or ten of their mounted pickets, on whom we opened fire; but they abandoned their horses and fled into the woods and cane-brakes with so much haste that they escaped unhurt. We captured their horses and found in the depot nine of our soldiers badly wounded. This occurre

t, when the whole command fired, killing one and mortally wounding the other two. The horses of these three rebels were killed. From this point the command, with two companies of the Fourth Wisconsin, marched cautiously half a mile south, and thence one mile and a half west, through cane and rice-fields and reeds and weeds immensely high. All directions offered complete protection for an ambushed enemy. Here we halted, formed in line, and placed in battery our artillery in command of Lieut. Brough of company C. We shelled in all directions to feel for the enemy, then proceeded cautiously a third of a mile south to a road running west one and a half miles to the swamp. In going through the tall weeds to this road our skirmishers began to pick up crouching prisoners, and before we finished had gathered twenty-five. A few minutes previously, and at the time our artillery commenced fire, the whole regiment was drawn up in this road and in the high weeds, but after a few rounds th

We found killed six of the rebels, and took twenty-five prisoners, among them Capt. January and Lieut. Coxe. These men were well equipped, had fine horses, and all armed with revolvers, carbines, many Sharpe's rifles, and double-barreled shot-guns, and such spurs! to be appreciated they must be seen. The regiment was commanded by Col. Edwin Waller, and was represented to be brave and daring. It was the most wonderful rout of the war — and not an instance of five hundred well-armed and well-mounted men so thoroughly dispersed. But little may be apprehended from them in future, as it will take them a long time to equip in so good a manner. Capt.

e day previous, and we made them a speedy visit. The poor wounded fellows were so delighted to see us and be relieved they shed tears when they saw us. The rebels had carts ready to carry them off, no one knew where, but the prisoners were told, to hang them. We brought away the prisoners, and committed the house where they lay to the flames. Our regiment is in fine health and spirits, and would be glad to see some one from our State, just to let them know they are not forgotten. We are all proud of our State, and proud of the exhibition of its patriotic sons in sustaining the country in its present perilous crisis. The Twenty-first will perform its part nobly and well. It is for its country, first, last, and forever; and against every man and woman whose hands are against it, and against all men who will not sustain it in its terrible trials to sustain the best Government ever framed by human mind. Yours truly, Ezra read, Surgeon Twenty-first Regiment Indiana Volunteers.
