McCulloch, McIntosh, McRas, Slack, and others, have fallen. Braver and nobler men never died for freedom. Our forces at Boston Mountain were supposed to be in the nencamped in an open field. This day Rector's and Mitchell's regiments joined us. The latter regiment had marched 45 miles without halting in twenty-four hours. Ben McCulloch arrived and was met with such a storm of enthusiasm as seldom greets any man. It made his men almost wild to see him once more, and that, too, when placed in s eagle eye lighted up with an unwonted fire, he remarked, "Men, I am glad to see you; " a greeting which was responded to with interest.

The gunboats (wooden) engaged were the McRae, Lady Polk, Ivy, Pontchartrain, Livingston, and Marapas. The fight continued some two hours. The fore and aft chains of the Marapas were out by the enemy's shot. They also sent one shot clear through the Gen.
