t was soon renewed, and the battle raged with increased fury. Our batteries along our whole front again reopened, and Col. Walker's artillery regiment, composed of Latham's, Letcher's, Braxton's, Pegram's, Crenshaw's, Johnson's, and McIntosh's batthe woods right up to and across the railroad at Hamilton's crossing. In front of Gen. Early the powerful artillery of Col. Walker was thrown forward, to fire, as was expected, into the enemy's flank. Across, or to the east of, the railroad, on theans; but next to the batteries on Marye's Heights and General Lee's hill, I should say that the artillery commanded by Col. Walker took the most effective part in the action, as it poured a flanking fire into the enemy's left. One other battery des by Gen. Stuart's cavalry, a few batteries of Stuart's horse-artillery were thrown forward to flank the Federals, between Walker's artillery and the river. General Stuart ordered Major John Pelham, his chief of artillery, to advance one gun consider

Starkweather's and Walker's brigades arriving near the close of the evening, the former bivouacked in close column in reserve in rear of McCook's l pike opposite the field, put an end to this demonstration, and the day closed with another demonstration by the enemy on Walker's brigade, which ended in the same manner. On Friday morning the enemy opened four heavy batteries on our centre, and ttack a little further to the right, but a well-directed fire of artillery soon silenced his batteries, while the guns of Walker, and Sheridan put an end to his effort there. About three o'clock P. M., while the Commanding General was examining th Wagner, A. A.G., Capt. Beeler, A. C.S., (volunteer aid that day,) Captain Edsall, Ins. Gen., McElpatrick, Top. Eng., Lieuts.

Walker, who commanded the detachment of First Indiana cavalry, to dismoghing, talking, singing, and enjoying themselves right merrily. Capt. Walker immediately brought his guns to bear at a distance of about thret off. Without an instant's waiting. I threw my force forward--Captain Walker, of the First Indiana, with his little howitzers in front, and mmediately following. As soon as we came in sight of the enemy, Capt. Walker and Major Birgebrought their guns into position, and a few well-feet wide, crossed by a ferry. I immediately threw a portion of Capt. Walker's command across the stream, who pursued them lively for a few mny to which the gun belonged as censurable. The conduct of Captain Walker throughout was worthy of all praise.

Of these last, sixteen men were captured and paroled, but not without a very creditable resistance. To Major Walker, Adjutant Walker, and Capt. Larkin, of the Twenty-fifth Indiana; Capt.

Larkin, of the Twenty-fifth Indiana; Capt. Henry, company M, Sixth Ohio cavalry, and the other officers and men of both arms, am I much indebted for their skill and the assistance rendered me in preparing our defences; but to single out particular officers and men as being more worthy of an honorable mention than others who were present and took part in the engagement of the twenty-first of December, 1862, would certainly be doing an injustice. Our Senior Assistant-Surgeon, Dr. C. L. Thomas, for the skill displayed and the kind and humane mane treatment rendered the enemy's wounded, is deserving of mention. Each and every one did his duty, and, if our defence and conduct during those trying hours me

half after the cavalry, artillery, and teams had retreated toward Lebanon; the Ninety-ninth being out of ammunition, had gone. Expecting every minute an enfilading fire, scouts were sent out to watch the enemy, but we soon found that they were retreating, but kept up camp-fires to deceive us. After dark, as your correspondent was ordered to ascertain the position of our artillery, and hearing that a wounded man back with the ambulance could tell, I went with Lieutenants Dale and Bates, Sergeant Walker, Corporal McFadden and others, who carried on their shoulders some of the wounded, and having ascertained returned to find the regiment. They had gone, and as it was now after dark, and we could only return to assist Surgeon Lucius Benham, who was in charge of the wounded. The following is the list of killed and wounded: Lieut.-Col. C. W. Dunlap, commanding regiment, wounded in hand and slightly in breast — horse killed. Company C--Wm. Jones, Dubuque County, killed, shot throu

I despatched the De Kalb, Lieutenant Commander Walker, Choctaw, Lieutenant Commander er Ramsay, Romeo, Petrel, and Forest Rose, all under command of Lieut. Commander Breese, up the Yazoo, to open communicat Generals Grant, Sherman, and Steele, informing me of this vast success, and asking me to send up provisions, which was at once done. In the mean time, Lieut. Commander Walker, in the De Kalb, pushed on to Haines's Bluff; which the enemy had commenced evacuating a day before, and a party remained behind in the hopes of destroyin constructing them, and all were rendered useless in an hour. As soon as I got through with the destruction of the magazines and other works, I started Lieutenant Commander Walker up the Yazoo River with a sufficient force to destroy all the enemy's property in that direction, with orders to return with all despatch, and only to p
