oints which guard the entrance to Port Royal Sound, about three miles in width. On these two points two forts were erected--Fort Walker on Hilton Head, and Fort Beauregard on Bay Point. The time we possessed enabled us to make them only earthworks, without any protection from shells or bombs. The island of Hilton Head was commanded by Gen. Drayton. The officers immediately superintending the artillery and conducting the fire of Fort Walker, were Col. Wagoner, Major Arthur Huger, and Capt. Yates, of the regular service, especially detailed by Gen. Ripley to aid in directing the artillery. Col. Danovant commanded at Fort Beauregard, but he generously allowed Capt. Elliott, of the Beaufort artillery, to direct and conduct the batteries of the fort. The day was beautiful — calm and clear, with scarcely a cloud in the heavens — just such a day as our invaders would have ordained, if they could, to carry on their operations. In such a sketch of the battle as, amid the excitement an

Martindale stayed behind at Coppidge's, and, laboring under a misunderstanding in regard to his statements, fifty-four of them joined Col. Phelps' regiment. When Martindale came up he protested, and claimed his men. The subject seemed to be rather a perplexing one to settle satisfactorily to all parties concerned. The party brought in Mick Yates, one of McBride's lieutenants, a prisoner. They also caught Dave Lenox, but the latter managed to effect his escape. The Home Guards had been some time in charge of Clark's Mill, in Douglas County. A party of three hundred secessionists, under Freeman, were on a marauding expedition in that region, and threatened the Home Guards with an attack. They had robbed the stores at Vera Cruz and other places. They were encamped at Wilson's Mill, on Bryant's Fork of the White River, and when the

Marsh, Colonel Twentieth Illinois Volunteers To Col. J. B. Plummer, Commanding. Colonel Carlin's report. Headquarters 38TH Illinois Volunteers, Fredericktown, Mo., Oct. 23, 1861. His Excellency Gov. Yates, Springfield, Ill.: I have the honor to report to you that this regiment was engaged in the battle at this place on the 21st instant, and, like all our troops, displayed the greatest enthusiasm in our cause. The enemy retreated so fast that but three of our companies, Capt. Alden's, Capt. Rodrig's, and Capt. Young's, (commanded by Lient. H. Tyner,) came in close conflict with them. These three companies were detached as skirmishers, and were in advance of the regiment. We purs

I make special mention of the following officers: Colonel John M. Glover, Major Carrick, Lieutenants Yates and Kirkpatrick, of the Third Missouri Cavalry; Colonel Birge, Captain Boyd, and Adjutant Temple, of Birge's Sharpshooters, and Lieutenant Edwin Moore, my aide. I also assure you that the men behaved with coolness and daring during the engnear the scene of the last night's fight just after daylight. Proceeding cautiously over the ground, we saw just beyond, in a lane, the advance guard of the enemy, about one hundred strong, who were disposed to dispute our further advance. Lieut. Yates, of Company B, who led our advance guard, dismounted his men, and gave the rebels a taste of his Sharp's rifles. He had not opened fire but a few moments, when Captain Bradway was ordered to charge on the enemy with his company. This he did,
