WALLACE.

Our worst foars have been realized.General W. II. L. Wallace deceasedThursday evening, April 10th, at Savannah,Tenn. He wasbrought to this citj Monday-mornin-

at 4 o'clock. The tolling of thebells of the various churches annonncedat that hour the arrival of the body. Anescort of the Knights Templar and adelegation of citizens was at the depot toreceive it and accompany it to his lateresidence At 2 o'clock p. m., the body waslaid in state at the new Court House andTisited by thousands of citizens andstrangers. Tuesday morning, attended by

the members of the Masonic fraternity,the body was carried to the Episcopal

. ftpr annronriateyivu, aavu 1 I i 1

faneral services it was taken for interment.to the family burial ground of Col. Dickey,near his residence on the bluff. The day

of burial was one of unusual gloom exter-

nally. Yet, notwithstanding rain and mud,

the citizens thronged the streets swelling

the funeral cortege. Business was sus-

pended and stores and offices closed. Itis not often that an entire people arebrought to such a general and sinceremourning. Indeed, it is seldom that theremoval of a single individual affects somany minds with a sense of personal loss.

. The occasion and circumstances werepeculiar. The deceased had occupied aprominent position inthis county, andheld a high place in public esteem. Hehad fallen with distinguished houors, indevotion to his country, in a cause inwhich our sympathies arc oua

The funeral ceremonies were entirely ofa'civic order, there being now no militaryorganization in this vicinity. They wereunder the immediate control of theMasonic fraternity, in accordance with awish frequently expressed by Gen. Wallacewhile alive, to be buried with masonic

rites. The only nilitary in the cortegewere Capt. llotchkiss, Lt Dickey and Lt.Eumsey, Gen. Wallace's aids. The chargerof Gen. Wallace was led in the procession

by his body servant, and the old flag of the11th 111. Regiment, which had been so

fearfully riddled at Fort Donelsou, wasborne by one of his orderlies.

The deceased was born at Uibana, Ohio,July Sth, lis21, but come to this statewhen yet a boy. The family some 20years ago lived in what is now the townof Deer Park, in this countv, but after-wards moved to Ogle county, whence youngWallace came to tLis city and entered as astudent of law in the office of (now) CoL

T. L. Dickey.At the opening of the Mexican war in

1S46 he enlisted as a private in a companyraised by Judge Dickey in this city, andon the organization of the company was !

made orderly sergeant. When the com- - J

pany arrived at Alton it was ascertainedthey were entitled to a third Lieutenantand Mr. Wallace was at once elected tothe position. Arriving at Sau Antonio in

Texas, he was further promoted to theposition of Adjutant of Col. Hardin's regi-

ment in place of Lieutenant (now Gen.)Prentiss, who was elected Captain of theOttawa Company on the resignation ofCapt Dickey. At the battle of BuenaVista, Geu. Wallace shared in all theglories aim perns oi ins gallant ioionei,participating in the first brilliant charge ofthe regiment when it repelled a Mexicanforce of live times its own number, at thepoint of the bayonet, killing many andtaking SOprisoners; and in the last charge,in which the brave Hardin, McKee, Clay,and so many others of our noble officersand men were cut down. He was amongthe lasi that left the fieid, and beingwholly surrounded, made his escapethrough a compact body of Mexicans, with-

out a scratch.At the close of the Mexican war Gen.

Wallace resumed his studies, continuingin the office of Mr. (now Col.) Dickey,whose daughter he subsequently married.

Of his career as Attorney it is sufficientto say that it was eminently honorableand successful.

In tho breaking out of this rebellion.without expectation or solicitation on hispart, he was invited to command the 11thRegiment. Relinquishing his lucrativebusiness and his comparatively easy andhonorable position, amid the endearmentsof home and genial society, he cheerful-ly yielded to the call of his companions inarms and gave himself to his country.His was no ordinary gift, whether we con-

sider what he relinquished or the talentfar eomni.ind which he gave.

Of his eminent and useful services ourreaders are well informod. Usually calledto act in the field above his rank ; at Don-elso- u

while Colonel he was acting general,cf Brigade; at Pittsburgh, having justreceived the appointment of Brigadier

.General for distinguished service, he wasadvanced to act as Major General.

He bore Lirr.seli nobly and safelythrough the perils of that unlookcd forand overwhelming assault on Sunday till

.about 4 P. M. Finding his Division liableito be flanked on either side, he had justgiven command to his brigade command-ers "to fall .back steadily," and whileoverseeing its execution the fatal messen-

ger sealed his lips in silence.The ball passed from near the top of

the left ear aloug the temple, taking in itsexit the left eye. lie disengaged his feet,as if to dismount, and fell to the ground.He was supposed to be dead. Yet hisbrother-i- law, Lt. C. E. Dickey' and twomen, bore him tenderly after his retreat-ing columns till the hard preesure-o- f thefoe obliged them to leavo him on therfieid. The next day, our troops havingrecovered the field, found him unconsci-.ous- ,

but alive, his pockets rifled, and ablanket tossed over him. He was imme-diately transferred to Savannah to thecare of his wife, who had arrived the day.previous on a visit, but as yet had not seenhim. A slight return of consciousness,an occasional smiling recognition of iiwcompanion in sorrow, and at last a motion

. Cf his linger pointing her to the peacefulHeaven above were his last acts.

The very last act, coupled with hissolemn jviilion rsolve after his seeminglyprovidential deliverance at Donelson, tothis eflect, "For this elinost miraculouspreservation of say .life, amid such dan-

gers, I am resolved that. henceforth all Inm thall be the Lord's," leaves us theconsolation in sorrpw that ho has foundreet ia Heaven, where wo are sorry tobelieve few of the leaders of; this rebellionwill ever gain an entrance.

General Wallace was universallyby many loved. Naturally noble

and generous, always courteous, his life

in most respects far aboVt that of ordinarymen, was a model of manly dignity andhonor, and yet of engaging simplicity andunaffected modesty. While, in the lan-

guage of the schools, he was not a schol"

lar; yet, in addition to his professionalknowledge, he had a well-store- and dis-

ciplined mind, familiar with English liter-

ature, and in his own composition, (as hisofficial report of his Brigade at Denelsionwill show,) he wielded the pen of a grace-

ful wi iter.He was not what is termed a man of

cultivated and polished manners; but anobility of soul, and a truly respectfaland courteous demeanor to every personfand under all circumstances, made himeverywhere and at all times, a gentlemen.

One would hardly have supposed that aspirit so gentle, a disposition so modestand retiring, was meet for the warrior and

chieftain. Yet Wallace was at the headof his column, unabashed, calm, anddauntless of soul. His men had all con-

fidence in him. Under such Generalsmen do not run. They realizo the valueof the life of their leader, the soundnessof his judgment and the justice of hiscause.

But he is gone. He sleeps with theheroic dead. He has closed an honorablecareer. He leaves an untarnished repu-

tation. The men of Illinois will ever beproud to say we knew him well.

War News oi the Week.Army or the Potomac.

McDowell's division still rests on theleft bank of the Rappahannack. Thestream is two much swollen to admit ofcrossing. There are no rebels north ofthat stream indeed none but stragglersbetween Manassas and Gordonsville, whilethere are said to be not over 5000 rebeltroops between the latter place and Rich-

mond.- The enemy has abandoned Fred-erickbur- g.

Nothing new in Gen. Banks' depart-ment. His cavalry occupies Warrenton.

Gen. McClellan is still encamped withhis army in front of Yorktown, where therebels, very strongly entrenched, are saidto number lOO.OOO men. The latest des-

patches represent the weather as favora-ble. Gen. M'Cltllan is progressing favora-

bly in perfecting his arrangements for theassault, is in the best spirits, and sanguineof his ability to drive the rebels not onlyout of Yorktown, but out of Virginia.Large fires at Yorkiown on the 11th ledto the belief that the rebels were burningtheir barracks preparatory to an "evacu-ation."

FROM FORTRESS MONROE.

rieasant weather on Friday of last weekbrought out the long expected Merrimacon her second visit, accompanied by a fleetof gunboats the Jamestown, Yorktown,Teazer, ttc, a lleet of a dozen vessels inall. She came out from Sewell's Foint andheaded toward James River. The fleetsailed around several hours, almost withinshot of Newport News, when the James-town came around, leaving NewportXews to her left, and captured threeUnion schoouers anchored near the shore,with which the fleet returned to Norfolk.Nothing could have been more bold anddaring. Yet beyond a fw shots fired bythe Stevens' battery, Naugatuck, at a safedistance, no attempt was made to inter-fere with the rebel fleet. Where was theMonitor the Vanderbilt fleet, Ac.

FTOM TOUT ROT A I, i C. FORT PULASKI, &0.

Fort Pulaski, near the mouth of theSavannah River, surrendered uncondi-tionally to the Federal forces on Fridaylast, the 11 th inst The bombardmentcommenced several days before, and wasconducted with such skill and energy thatthe rebels were shelled into submission ina very short time. Col. Olmstead was therebel commander, but we are not informedas to the number of their troops surrendered. Fort Jackson is now the onlyformidable work between our troops andSavannah. The occupation of that citymay be looked for very speedily.

The Mississippi Expedition'.Com. Foote, with his gunboats, and

transports with Gen. Pope's troops onboard, left the vicinity of Island No. 10 onSaturday last, downward bound. Wenow hear ofhim at Ft Pillow, an extensiveand formidable rebel work, on one of theChicasaw bluffs, sixty miles above Memphis. Gen. Pope's army was encampedon the Arkansas shore, opposite the fort.The mortar-boat- s were placed in position,and commenced shelling the rebel workson Tuesday.

From the Southwest.Siegel arrived at St. Louis last Saturday

from the army in Arkansas in an ill stateof health. Geu. Curtis has broken up hiscamp at Cross Timbers and moved east-ward on the Cassville road 53 miles toForsyth. Van Dorn and Price are positively reported to have gono eastward,either to Memphis or Corinth.

The War ix Tkxxkssee.The telegraph account ire published

last week of the battle of PittsburghLanding, or Shiloh as it is called by Gen.Grant, gave the reader probably as correcta general account o the engagement ascan bo given in the space at our disposalThe later and fuller reports only serve tafix with more certainty the details. It isrendered certain that our forces, particularly on the left, were completely sur-prised, and that a heavy responsibilityrest3 somewhere for the culpable careless-ness that rendered this possible. Grautsforce on Sunday was about 45,000 men,of these 8,000 under Wallace, had missedthe road in coming up from Savannah,and were not in the battle on Sunday ;

and five or six thousaud more were left atdifferent points to guard stoves. So thatthe whole brunt of the assault was bornon Sunday by some 35,000 men The rebelforce making the assault was about C0,(XH.

Buull's reinforcement on Suuday eveningamounted to about 20,000. and with. Gen.Lew. Wallace, and the jaded .troops pfSunday, made our effective force.on Mon.day, some 5,000, which was probablyabout that of the enemy on tho same day.

Our loss was about 15,00 killed 3,000wounded, and 2500 taken prisoners.

The enemy were not driven back andth rough Corinth, Ac., by our cavalry onMonday, but were pursued only a mile ortwo beyond our lines. Beauregard .re-treated to his entrenchments before .Cor-inth and is there still.

Gen. Hallack has arrived with his staffat .Pittsburgh Landing, and taken com-mand of tho army in person.

Since the battle at Pittsburgh, the gunboats .went up tho Tennessee as far asEastport and destroyed two important

bridges on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,so that Beauregard's retreat directly southor southwest is cut off His retreat mustbow be towards Memphis.

Gen. Mitchell's division of Gen. Buell'sarmy, our readers remember, did not ac-

company the main body towards Savannah,but from Nashville bore off directly South.The telegraph now advises us that Gen.M., on the 11th inst,, entered the city ofHuntsville, Alabama, taking two hundredrebel prisonei n and seizing fifteen locomotives, together with a large amount ofrailroad rolling stock. Huntsville is aplace of between five and six thousandinhabitants, situated on the Memphis andCharleston Railroad, about twenty-fiv- e

miles south of the Tennessee State line.JIt is

two hundred and twelve miles south ofcast from Memphis, forty-seve- n miles eastof Florence and Tuscumbia, and ninty-seve-n

miles southwest of Chattanooga.The possession of Huntsville cuts off the

Confedsrates' eastern lino of retreat fromCorinth and Memphis, which was leftopen by Gen. Lew. Wallace's divisionwhen it marched to the reinforcement ofGen. Grant at Pittsburg Landing. Theprevious withdrawal of the rebel Gen.Sidney. Johnston's forces from Chatta-nooga to tho support of Beauregard andBragg at Corinth, leave Gen. Mitchell, aneasy task in establishing himself atChattanooga, which is, by nature, a verystrong military position.

New Mexico.We have news of another battle in New

Mexico. CoL Slough, who recently arrived at Fort Union with a regiment ofColorado volunteers, marched from thatfort with 1,300 men in the direction ofSanta Fe, to whip out the rebels and effecta junction with Col. Canby, who was

marching north from Fort Craig. TheFederal troops met with some preliminarysuccesses, and on tho 2Sth ult. attackedthe main body of the enemy, 15 miles fromSanta Fe. A battle ensued, without adecisive result, and the Eederal troopsfell back to a strong position. They seemto have attacked the enemy under manydisadvantages. The news does not seemmore encouraging of success by the forceunder Col. Slough than did the accountsreceived of the battle of Valverde, which,it will be recollected, were cut off on theeve of a next day's victory, which failed totranspire.

Great Democratic Victory in Chicago.The Hon. F. C. Shermax, democratic

nominee, was on Tuesday elected Mayorof Chicago over C. N. IIolhen', republicannominee by 11S3 majority. The result isas gratifying as it is unexjected. Theeffect in favor of restoring the Union anddiscouraging secession will be equal to aUnion victory on the battle field. Therepublican leaders in Chicago had not on-

ly invited Wendell Phillips to that city todeliver his disunion lectures, but applaud-ed his treasonable utterances, and to maketheir endorsement the more emphatic,had invited him to repeat his lecture.Under such circumstances, their successat the municipal election on Tuesdaywould have amounted to a full endorse-ment of Thillips by the commercialmetropolis of the north-west- , and Jeff.Davis and Gov. Pickens, of S. C, who inofficial docunuvjts had acknowledged thegreat seryicc such men as Phillips, Chand-ler, Ac, had rendered the secession qauseby their violent speeches, would havebeen able also to nanio the great city ofChicago as entitled to their special grati-tude. The defeat of Ilolden, however,shows that the people of that great cityhave had their eyes opened, and lovingthe old Union and the old constitution,are as ready to meet their enemies at thepolls as in the field, whether sailing underfalse colors as abolitionists, or the stsrsand bars as avowed traitors. The excusethe Chicago republican papers give fortheir defeat is the most laughable part oftho whole business. "The plain truth is,"says one, "tho democrats voted and therepublicans did not." Very likely, andfor the good reason that the republicanswere not there to vote. For tho same ex-

cellent reason the Union party in SouthCarolina and Georgia were out-vote- d bythe secessionists.

The real truth is, that although amajority of the voters of Chicago are un-

doubtedly republican in name, a largepropoi tion of that majority are not aboli-tionists, and when the issue was fairlypresented them of Wendell PhillipsTnbunc abolitionism against Union con-

servative democracy, they preferred thelatter, and so voted

Cicu. Fry's ltcgimcnt.We are satisfied after diligent inquiry of

various persons who were at and in thebattle of Pittsburg, that the reproachattempted by the Chicago Triune and someof its corresponden ts to be cast upon theCist 111. regiment Col Jacob Frt's is un-

merited and unjust. The regiment wasin Prentss' division, and with the rest ofthat division, was surprised before all wereout of bed. Yet in five minutes after thealarm, we are assured the regiment was inline, and, although half the men were fortho first ten miuutes without cartridges,they kept in line, and fought for fourstraight hours, until the division was completely surrounded, and nearly hall of ittaken prisoners with .tlteir commandingGeneral. There was nothing like a panicor stampede among the men of the Gist,and, after the first ten minutes, no confu-sion. Col. Fry Linself, we are most happyto learn, although .fighting at the head ofhis regiment during those four dreadfulhours, escaped without a scratch, but,hatless, coatless, add almost without a shirt.Tge day after the battle his regiment,which had numbered some 600 effectivemen, mustered less than 200, the greaterpart of the loss being made up of killedand wounded, the impression being thatbut a small proportion of the men of thisregiment were taken prisoners.

The Killed axd Wounded. The Chica-go Journal of Thursday evening publishesa full list of the killed end .wounded inMarch's brigade, which included the 1 1thand 20tb. 11L Regiments. We.notice, how-ever, no names wo are familiar with ineither list, beyond such as we have other-wise mentioned.

Slavery Abolished In the District orColumbia.

The President has approved the bill,mentioned in our last as having passedcongress, for the abolition of slavery in theDistrictof Columbia. This approval is inoppositions to sundry propositions to whichthe President stood solemnly committed.1. That slavery in the District should onlybe abolished but by the consent of amajority of the votes of the District ; 2.That the oboli tion should be gradual; and3. That it should be accompanied byadequate provision for the colonization ofthe slaves emancipates. None of theseprovisions are embraced in the Districtimmediately; no vote is to be taken onthe subject; and the ouly provision aboutcolonization is, that an appropration ismade to and such emancipated or freenegroes in the district as desire to removeto Hayti or Liberia in doing so. The billprovides for compensation to the masters,not to exceed 300 for each slave liberated,the value to be affixed by a board of com-

missioners. Heavy penelties are prescrib-ed for such persons as shall take slaves toslave states out of the District, and com-pensoti-

is to be paid only to such slaveowners as are and have been loyal Thereare said to be but about 3,000 slaves in theDistrict, so that the pet republican meas-ure, which will probably impose upon thonation half a million a year additional expense to support panpers and vagabondismin the District, will cost Uncle Som imme-dattl-y

the round sum of f 1,000,000.Tenator Browning, of 111., contended

strongly for a colonization clause in thebill. He went 'so far as to express thedecided opinion, that if the two racesmust occupy the same soil, it will be betterfor all concerned, if they stood in the re-

lation of masters and slaves to each other.

From Europe. The dates from Liver,pool are to tho Cth. Both the English aswell as French and eontincntal journalsdiscuss with groat earnestness the iinportrance of the experience gained by the en-

gagement between tho Merrimac andMonitor. In Parliament, it was claimedthat the invention of the principle of theMonitor belonged to Capt Coles, 11 N.,whoso plans had been approved two yearsago by the admiralty, and then shelved.An intimation was given that tenders toconstruct a vessel on Capt Coles' planwould be accepted. The Royal Sovereign,one of the finest vessels in the navy, is toLe cut down and converted into a " Moni-

tor."There is a rumor from Washington that

important dispatches were received by thelast steamer at the Stato Department, tothe effect thut the Emperor of France, inview of the fact that the Union flag floatsin every rebel state except one, aiid inview of the suffering in Fiance caused bythe blockade, has tendered our govern-ment huch co operation as must at oncecrush the rebellion. The visit on Tuesdayof the Ercneh Minister to Norfolk is saidto have had some connection with thisbusiness.

Found Dead. Mrs. Mary Knight wasfound dead in her bed on Tuesday mor-ning at the residence ofher brotherSylvester Brown, in Dayton. The deceasedwas as well as usual, with the exceptionof a cold, and ate her supper as usual onMonday evening; and retired between 8and J o'clock, but did not get up tobreakfast the next morning- - Thinkingshe was sleeping, the family did not dis-

Arrival of the Remains of Gev. Wall-ace at Chicaw. The remains of Gen. YV

U. L. Wallace, who so biavely sacrificedhis life at the late battle at Pittsburgh,arrived in this cily last Sunday eveningabout y o'clock, upon a special train fromCairo, furnished by direction of Gen.Strong. The body was in charge of Col.T. Lyle Dickey, of the Fourth IllinoisCavalry, accompanied by Maj. M. II. It.Wallace, of the Fourth Cavalry, a brotherof the deceased, Lieut. C. E. Dickey, Aide-de-Cam- p

to (Jen. Wallace, and Capt. C. Y.llotchkiss, Assistant Adjutant General.The wife of Gen. Wallace, who arrived atPittsburgh upon the same day her husband received his death wound, also ac-companied his remains.

At the depot they were met by a de-tachment of about fiity men, composed o''members of companies D. and H. of theIrish Brigade, who formerly resided iuLa Salle county, Jthe home of GeneralWallace, This detachment was in chargeof Captain Simpson, Company D.

The body was placed in a hearse whichhad been provided by order of MayorRumsey, and about half past nine o'clockthe procession started from the depot inthe following order:

Battle or Pittsburg.Sergt. W. P. Gregg, of Dresser's battery,

has returned to his home in this city, afterbearing an honorable part in the two days'bloody fight at Pittsburg. He gives usthe following statement of what cameunder his own observation :

Gen. R. J. Oglesby haveing been as-signed to another command, two daysprevious to the battle, was not present atthe battle, and the com maud of his Brig-ade was given to Col. Hare, of tho 11thIowa Infantry, who behaved nobly, andduring the battle won the good esteemof the men composing the first brigade.Our brigade engaged the enemy in posi-tion about seven o'clock on Sunday morn-ing, April Cth and fought an hour and ahalf before Dressor's Battery was orderedinto position, holding their ground andfighting desperately. I he Regiments com-posing the 1st Brigade of Gen. McCler-nand'- s

Division were the Sth, and 18th,Illinois, and 11th and 13th Iowa TheSth and lSth Illinois were thrown to ourleft, and supported another battery.The 11th Iowa had been engaged for twohours on the right of Dressei's Battery,and the 45th Illinois being engaged onthe ground, and were ordered to the leftof Dresser's Battery. Orders came totho front battery, and we opened fire onthe enemy st about half past eight o'clock,keeping up a coutinued fire for over 30minutes, when it was discovered, to thehorror and consternation of a certain Art-illery Majtr, that Dresser's Ba'tery hadbeen throwing their "rotten missiles" atour own troops. Wo were ordered tocease firing, and for nearly fifteen minutesstood by our guns receiveing heavy shotsfrom the enemy's musketry. Two of theofficers of the battery discovered, throughtheir field glasses, that the Union forceshad no tri colored flags of the exact shapeof the ones we had been firing on, and wevr ordered to open lro ofju.in, aftor Uo

ing-certa- in we were firing upon the rebalarmy. The excuse given by the Majorwas that the rebel troops being clothed inblue uniforms, deceived him, but not then.en of the battery. The J I th Iowa sup-ported the battery on the right, and wasin all, three hours in a swamp over kneedeep in water, under cover of our righthalf battery, consi.-tin- g of Nos. I. 2. andH guns, while tho 45th Illinois Infantrywere on our front and left, doing excellentservice. Col. Hate, of the 11th J owa, act-ing Brigadier General, was in rear of thebattery, closely watching the action oftne troops of his command, frequentlycheering his men and giving orders fromtime to time. " A great deal of credit isdue to Col. Hare, and the officers of the11th Iowa, as also to the officers of the45th Illinois, for their bravery, in support-ing the battery and sustaining our groundbo long, as the enemy were evidently try-ing to out flank us on our ri:!it. GaptJ as. P. Timony, formerly 1st Lieut, inDresser's Battery, commando-- the Bat-tery, and deserves a great dei.1 of creditfor his daring and bravery on the morii-ingt- f

theoth. He was evidently singledout as the commander of the Battery, andfired at by the enemy's sharp-shooter- asthe numerous bail holes in his uniformwill amply testify, none of which took ef-fect. About Z ) minutes before we left thefield, however, a spherical rase shot fromone of the enemy's sfnooth-bor- pieces,burst in fro:it of Capt. Timony, badlyburning him in the breast, (through hisclothes,) and shocked him in such a man-ner thiit his life was for a minute d;s-paire- d

of He was taken Oil the field in-

sensible, hut recovered ho much as to beable to talk in the evening, i a:n glad tostate that he appeared on the ground onMonday, the L' l day of the battle. I heofficers of the Battery showed themselvesbrave, and when so many of the menwere wounded as to rende r it iiupo-iibl- e

to limler up the guns, Lt J. 1). W. Whit-al- land two men undertook to run one of

the guns off the field by prolong, and notuntil nearly every mania the Battel v hudleft the ground, did Lt Whitajl leave hissection, having taken only one gun offthe field. The horror of the 6cene wasindescribable. No pen can picture it.After engaging the enemy for nearly onehour and a half, the Battery w as forced toretire undercover of thn 11th Iowa, leav-ing 4 ofour gnus on the field. No blamocan le attached to the officers command-ing the brigade or the company, as sonviny of" the tostillions were wounded andhorr.es killed, as to render it impossible tomove off thp guns. Although the lllhIowa and 4 oth Illinois stood to the lastminute, they did not give us the supportwe ought to have had, in consequence ofthe extremo exhausti in ef their mer,who had been in the action for over threehours, an hour and a half before Dress-er's Battery came into the field, and sup-port" d us fr nearly an' hour and a half.On Monday morning we rallied one sec-tion of the battery, and went into thefield, when we(our troops) re captured ourfour pieces lost on Sunday morning, tak-ing thirteen rebel pieces, which the rebelsZiWty loaned us, while retreating at adouble-quick- .

I visited the principal grounds on Tues-day, looking up our wounded and dead,and found four killed. The names ofkilled in Dresser's Battery are DanielMcDermott, enlisted at Ottawa, formerresidence, Ho!meburgh, Pa.; MichaelLink, Scott County, Mo.; Sargent T.
