A slight elevation of ground just below Milton, tempted Captain Harris to test the courage of the enemy. Unlimbering one of his piecehe summit was one of the Napoleons, immediately under command of Capt. Harris, while the other was planted further to the right, just in the rade available for supporting the piece of artillery commanded by Capt. Harris, which was doing terrible execution on the rebel ranks, and whicany effort of the enemy, and resolved at all hazards to prevent Captain Harris's piece of cannon from falling into their hands. Previous toe rebels, enraged beyond bounds at the havoc made among them by Captain Harris's twelve-pound Napoleon, determined to capture it, if possible.whatever to the brave men who held Vaught's Hill. Nevertheless, Capt. Harris trained his piece upon one of their guns, disabled it after a ro
