Colonel Olliner and his brigade to clear out the city and restore order at the point of the bayonet. This they did, taking a couple of hundred prisoners, bayoneting some and killing one.--Though Hazen has proved himself a true and tried soldier on many a battle-field, such an act does more credit to his heart than a victory over the enemy. --Several officers, too, ventured their lives in this charitable attempt to restore order.
