t a given signal, the men rushed to the boats, carried them to the water, jumped into them and pushed gallantly out into the stream, amidst a shower of bullets from the enemy which killed and wounded several of our men. Among the latter was Lieut.-Col. Baxter, commanding the regiment, and here the command devolved upon me. The regiment charged gallantly up the ascent, taking possession of the rifle-pits and buildings, also taking thirty-five prisoners. During this affair we lost five killed and d--Lieut.

During the march to this point our troops were in the very best spirits ; their merry, echoing voices rang through the forests, raising the spirits of the weary ones in the rear, all hurrying on to-ward this point.
