Captain Charles, company H, Eighteenth Indiana, was the first man to jump on the enemy's guns. Lieutenant D. F.

Private Amos Nagle, company K, Eighteenth Indiana, captured color-bearer with ey, with interest. Three times did he form to charge us, and as often was he hurled back discomfited by the well-directed aim of the brave lads of Illinois and Indiana.

leave our camp and garrison equipage behind, we arrived at Dawson's Farm on the Roundaway Bayou, on the second day. On the eighteenth marched to the mouth of Gilbert's Bayou, with directions to make a reconnoissance in the direction of the Mississippi River, and ascertain whether a practicable route could be found. Descending the bayou, I met General Osterhaus coming up from the river on the same business, and on comparing notes, the route was deemed practicable and so reported to Major-Gener the aid of Captain Petterson's Pioneers, built four bridges, over about one thousand feet of water, and cut two miles of road through the woods, thus opening up the great military route through the overflow land from Milliken's Bend to the Mississippi River below Vicksburgh. During the severe task, many of my men worked for hours up to their necks in water, and I take this occasion to thank them for the devotion and energy there displayed. To Captain George W.

r the enemy near Port Gibson, on the first, was one of the most important of the war. The capture of five cannon and more than one thousand prisoners, the possession of Grand Gulf, and a firm foothold on the highlands between the Big Black and Bayou Pierre, from whence we threaten the whole line of the enemy, are among the fruits of this brilliant achievement. The march from Milliken's Bend to the point opposite Grand Gulf was made in stormy weather, over the worst of roads. Bridges and ferrn had in the fight two brigades. With such a disparity in numbers, of course a confederate victory was next to an impossibility. General Bowen's object in leaving his position at Grand Gulf, on the south side of the Big Black, and crossing Bayou Pierre, was, we presume, to hold the enemy in check, and prevent their advance into the country and upon Port Gibson, until reenforcements, then known to be on the way, could arrive. The movements of the Federals, however, were rapidly made, and in
