of his brigade ready to march. I directed him to Harrison's Island to assume command, and in full conversation explained to him the position as it then stood. I told him that Gen. McCall had advanced his troops to Drainesville, and that I was extremely desirous of ascertaining the exact position and force of the enemy in our front, and exploring as far as it was safe on the right, toward Leesburg, and on the left toward the Leesburg and Gum Spring road. I also informed Col. Baker that Gen. German, opposite Edwards' Ferry, should be reinforced, and that I would make every effort to push Gorman's troops carefully forward to discover the best line from that ferry to the Leesburg and Gum Spring road, already mentioned; and the position of the breastworks and hidden battery, which prevented the movement of troops directly from left to right, were also pointed out to him. The means of transportation across, of the sufficiency of which he (Baker) was to be judge, was detailed, and aut

ling speech, moved that a committee of five be appointed by the chair, to draft resolutions. The President appointed C. Butz, H. Eschenburg, B. H. Bruns, Jos. Brosch, and L. Lamperts as such committee, who retired and afterwards through their chairman, C. Butz, reported the following resolutions, which were adopted under a storm of applause: In view of the tremendous crisis in our national affairs, when the fate of the Republic trembles in the balance, a mass meeting, chiefly composed of German-American citizens, assembled at North Market Hall, Chicago, and adopted the following resolutions: Resolved, that, while disclaiming every intention to resuscitate old and obsolete issues, and pledging to the Government of our choice our undivided support in the prosecution of the war against the black monster of secession, we nevertheless, as free citizens of this Republic, claim our right to express our sentiments and opinions in regard to the carrying on of this war and the measures of

lve our advance reached McCoy's Mills, and a sharp action at once ensued. The enemy's forces consisted of the cavalry engaged in the former skirmish, and at least one--I think two--regiments of infantry. They held their own against our skirmishers, and, having the advantage of ground, bid fair to give us considerable trouble and delay, for some time at least, in our pursuit of their main force. Gen. Benham at once ordered the Seventh, under Col. Creighton, and half of the Thirty-seventh German, to take possession of a ridge on the right of the road. The advance, consisting of the Thirteenth, Col. Smith--who did the work as well as man could do it-occupied the left, and Captain Schneider's battery being brought to the extreme front, we prepared to dislodge them. Col. Smith discovered a large body of cavalry in an exposed part of the hill, within fair range; and the gallant German, only too glad of a chance to let his barkers speak, took deliberate aim, and bang went the gun, wh

on, boys, here's another bird's nest. He fired and killed two of them. The other three fired at him simultaneously. One shot killed his charger; another shot killed him. He fell head-long from his horse without a groan or a moan. He was killed instantly, the ball piercing his windpipe and penetrating the lower part of the brain. At the same time, Paulding Anderson and Dr. Cowan rode up and despatched the remaining three of the enemy. The man who killed Col. Terry was a huge, raw-boned German, well dressed, and armed with a fine Belgian musket. The fight ended here When Col. Terry's fall was announced, it at once prostrated his men with grief. The enemy had fled; sixty-six of their dead lay upon the field; of ours, only five. Slowly these were collected, and our troops fell back to a secure position. All in all, this is one of the most desperate fights of the war. It was hand-to-hand from first to last. No men could have fought more desperately than the enemy. The Ranger
