distributed the few cartridges remaining so as to give all a round of ammunition, and ordered a charge upon the enemy. This charge was made in the most gallant and impetuous manner. Nothing could exceed or scarcely equal the intrepid daring and gallantry displayed by my officers and men in making this charge. Relying almost solely upon the bayonet, they rushed upon and drove back a heavy column of the enemy just landed, and captured the two howitzers. In the charge I was assisted by Captain Upshaw, of the Seventeenth, and Captains Kearney and Wellborn, of the Eighteenth Mississippi Regiment, who displayed great gallantry in the charge. As Burt's Mississippians pressed forward, they were met by a deadly volley, at close range, from the enemy concealed behind a ridge of earth thrown up by long-ago plowing; but no man faltered except the stricken ones before that fearful fire. White, who rode by Burt's side, says it was one of the most deadly fires of musketry he saw during the w

His armies will go before you. Go to the battle assured of success, and hurt upon the heads of these daring and barbarous invaders the punishment they deserve by expelling them with ignominy from our soil. In this campaign against his mother-land — against his conscience--Gen. Scott is doomed to an infamous immorality on the page of history, by being linked with the name and deeds of the traitor Arnold. A coward at heart, and destitute of common honesty, many descendants of the name of Upshaw would be proud to meet him in single combat, where no opportunity could be furnished him for escape, as in an early period of his military career, when he availed himself of a furlough and change of station to escape the chastisement he deserved. Many of the men under his command when Captain, would be proud of an opportunity to draw ounces of blood from his carcase to repay them the dollars — their pay for military services — which he drew from the Purser's hands and withheld from them.

e quick for two and a half miles, through woods and marsh, and over hill and valley, until nearly wearied out.--The 18th joined on the right flank and the line of battle was formed on the 8th Virginia. The whole was under the command of Colonel Featherstone, the senior Colonel. Just at this time the 8th Virginia made as gallant and as brave a charge as was ever made in the world, and which attracted the admiration of the whole force. The regiment was accompanied by the "Pettus Rifles," Capt. Upshaw, of the 17th Mississippi. The 8th advanced upon the enemy; and after discharging their pieces retired to the wood to reload. This was immediately repeated; but having been skirmishing since early in the day, the powder began to fall short. Col. Hunton then turned back and said, "For God's sake, charge them; I am out of ammunition." This was the turning point in the fight.--The regiments were formed and had advanced to the edge of the wood opposite the enemy; in front of them was a
