rmed a line of battle, as did Stevenson's, of Hood's corps, on the 25th. On the 27th, after a furious cannonade of several hours, the enemy made a general advance, but was everywhere repulsed with heavy loss. The assaults were most vigorous on Cheatham's and Cleburne's divisions, of Hardee's corps, and French's and Featherstone's, of Loring's.

"Private residences, after being plundered, were guarded, to 'protect' them." The battle of Bentonville. A letter from Bentonville, March 20th, gives the following about the defeat of the enemy there the day before: "The fight yesterday was successful. I was on the right, and saw Bate's and Cleburne's divisions charge and carry two lines of breastworks, driving the enemy two miles.

General Bate commanded Cheatham's corps; Brigadier General Reynolds, of Arkansas, lost a leg; Colonel Talbert, commanding Loring's division, was badly wounded; Colonel Keenan, of the Florida brigade, also lost a leg; Major Wilkinson, commanding Tyler's brigade, was killed."
