encroach upon the preserves of my friends, who, in their turn, are to tell you what, I am certain, will be found more to your taste and more interesting than the dry narrative of The Rise and Progress of the Washington Artillery.

Fort Gregg, a detached work south of Petersburg, was defended by 150 Mississippians, of Harris's brigade, and two guns of the Washington Artillery, under the intrepid McElroy. The Federals
