near us, but did no harm. The next morning we resumed the place held by us the day before. About twelve o'clock we were ordered to take a position considerably advanced and to our right, with two howitzers, and there to open fire upon a party of the enemy, then at work upon the rifle pits in front of their works. As soon as our fire commenced, the enemy opened upon us with at least five different species of projectile. During this fire, Lieutenant Walton, Corporal Davidson, and privates Hewitt and John Goodwin, were struck by fragments of shell, though no one was seriously hurt. At the other guns, which remained for some time in a very exposed condition, private Motley was also struck. One of our horses was killed, and two wounded. We remained in the advanced position until four o'clock P. M. I cannot forbear stating, just here, that you were present with us during the time that the enemy's fire was concentrated upon us, and I feel under lasting obligations to you for th

ers, and should the water fall sufficiently, make the necessary roads for this purpose. You need not move any portion of your corps more than is necessary for the protection of the road to Richmond until ordered. It may possibly happen that the enemy may so weaken his forces about Vicksburg and Haine's bluff, as to make the latter vulnerable, particularly with a fall of water to give an extended landing. I leave the management of affairs at your end of the line to you.

Besides these there were many genial and gallant merchant captains, among them Halpin, who afterwards commanded the Great Eastern while laying ocean cables, and famous war correspondents, Hon. Francis C. Lawley, M. P., correspondent of the London Times and Frank Vizitelli of the London Illustrated News, afterwards murdered in the Soudan. Nor must the handsome and plucky Tom Taylor be forgotten, purser of the Banshee and the Night Hawk, who, by his coolness and daring, escaped with a
