to the brigade under command of Colonel T. J. C. Amory, Seventeenth Massachusetts Volunteers, and on the same day was transferred to the First Brigade, Second Division, under command of Brigadier-General Heckman, where it remained until Jan. 11, 1863, when, the brigade being ordered to the Department of the South, the regiment was transferred to the Second Brigade, Fifth Division, under command of Colonel James Jourdan. On Jan. 25, 1863, the regiment changed camp from Fair Grounds to Fort Totten. Companies G and H were detached for duty at that place. Through the month of February, garrison duty was performed at Roanoke Island, rebel salt-works destroyed, and guerillas captured near Carrituck Sound; and on the 25th, a review of all the troops taking place at Newbern, the Eighth received the credit of being one of the best regiments in the department for soldierly bearing and deportment. Nothing of importance occurring during the month of March, the regiment formed a part of

lves. Cavalry and artillery shared with the infantry all the glory of this battle in the far West on behalf of the Confederacy. As illustrative, we refer to the report of Col. DeRosey Carroll, First Arkansas cavalry: The officers and men acted well their part in the hard battle of yesterday, for awhile supporting the Missouri infantry amid a shower of balls from the enemy's infantry, mixed with grape from their batteries, hurled thickly around us; then in the charge by flank on the Totten battery; and the execution done in the charge shows how coolly and bravely all behaved; and where all did so well there can be no discrimination. They drove the enemy in retreat from the battery, and it became easy for the infantry (Colonel McRae's) to march on it. The artillery is mentioned with high praise in the many reports of the engagement. Capt. J. G. Reid, speaking for his own battery, said: Among the men who were attached to the battery it is impossible to say that any fai

ickett. The force is estimated at from 10,000 to 25,000 men. There are some 17 pieces of artillery. At this writing their pickets are within about one mile of Fort Totten. Our pickets are near theirs. The attack is from three points, and is made with great determination. Our men are at the guns and all are in the best of spirien. J. W. Palmer is in command. Col. H. T. Sisson, of the 5th R. I. heavy artillery, is in command of six of the forts defending Newbern--Forts Stevenson, Roman, Totten, Goston, Amory, and Spinola. We are patiently waiting for the morrow. That the enemy seriously expects to reduce these works with any guns that can be transall the camps and stores not removed were burned. The day is fine after a heavy rain last night, and from present appearance our fighting is over. The band at Fort Totten is playing national airs, and all are as gay and cheerful as possible.
