Extract of a letter from a member of Sherman's famous battery: Third regiment, company E, light artillery, Washington, D. C., July 24, 1861. * * * * Since my last letter we have had two fights--one on Thursday last and one on Sunday; the battle on Thursday was four hours twenty minutes. We had two men killed, and Sunday we had three men killed, one wounded, and four missing. We were fighting from 6 o'clock in the morning until sundown in the evening, and a hard time we had of it. At name in my last letter as you wished me to. At the time the cavalry charged they came up yelling, Now we have got Sherman's battery, let us give it to them!
