January 1st, 1868, _
Messrs. Editors: The enemy landed with
their gunboats near Indian Mound, about a
week ago; and moved down on Saturday
night last, (28th ult.,j to tho vicinity of the
old race track, thus extending their line to
the bank of the Mississippi, a mile and a
half further South. Early on Monday morn
ing a force appeared'in the fallen timbers in
front of the old race truck, in the bend above
the city. Our artillery on the hillB above
discovering their position, opened fire upon
them, as did the infantry stationed in the flat
along the edge of the timber which had been
cut down to obstruct their passage. After
two hours skirmishing, the enemy were
forced to retire into the woods; but our ar
tillery on tho hills continued to favor them
with occasional shells all day.
In Monday’s tight our forces, commanded
by Brig-Gen Lee, on our right, achieved a
glorious victory. Ths 3d aud 30th Tennes
see, and 28th Louisiana regiments, bohaved
most gallantly, and won undying fame. The
rout of the enemy was complete. On the 3d
Charge at our works, our boys greeted them
with one dreadful sheet of fire from the in
fantry and artillery—the iron hail annihila
ting the leading ranks, and compelling them
to tail baok in confusion and disorder, when
our troops followed after, pouring volley af
ter volley into their ranks, capturing four
hundred prisoners and five stand of colors.
The prisoners and colors passed ns on Mon
day evening about .our o’clock. The priso
ners were assigned to quanerB in the Court

captured were displayed in lront of Gen.

draw his whisky. Ho replied _if we would
not shoot him he would meet me half way
and give me a drink. After seme little hes
itation on the part of the Colonel, he con
sented for mo to go. I leaped over the em
bankment und we met on half way ground.
We shook handB, and I took a Bplendid drink
of whisky with him and exchanged a button
off of my coat for one from his, and we part-
ed, hoping that the war would soon end.—
Hurrying back at tho rifle pits we continued
our conversation in tho distance, speaking
freely about the war. He told me that Jeff.
Davis wps an unfair man; bat that they
would have given it up long ago, but that the
men with the stripes on their shoulders who
kept up the war. Their officers told them
we were perishing to death, but they did not
be ieye it. After this myself, Major Moore,
Capt. Asbury and others met (hem on sever
al occasions, and conversed freely. vYe rflet
a Lieutenant and a Captain, of the 54th
i. hio, and drank with them, when we were
ordered to retire to oar quarters or we would
be fired upon.
During the day we gathered up all the
spoilu of the fight, getting 17 Minnie mus
kets, oil cloths, canteens, cartridge boxes,
and haversacks. I captured eight guns, ten
cartridge boxes, four haversacks full of pro
visions, and a number of canteens and oap
boxes. Iu tho haversacks we found ham,
meat and coffee (ground) crackers. We had
coffee this morning for breakfast and sup
pose we have enough to last us till we have
another fight, which will be soon.
Our gallant Colonel, who proved himself wor
thy of the position ho holds, and Adjutant Quii-
iain came very near getting shot several times

^ _ were acting
us a reserve, that we would soon be into it, our
breast works in front being occupied by the 4th
Ga. and 31st Louisiana. - In a lew minutes a
courier informed tho Gen. that the enemy had
made several successful charges on our breast«
works, and that they were then cutting through,
and if we did not have reinforcements soon they
would take the works. This news surprised
the General as he thought the works could not
be takeu by any force. He immediately order
ed the Colonel oi the 52d Georgia with his first
three companies 10 re inforce the works. The
Colonel desiring logo with the remainder of the
regiment sent Maj- ivloore, who with undaunted
bravery led hi* im-ii to the works, without los
ing one—notwitliBiutiuing the bullet* were luil-
■ug as thick us a storm ot hail. 1 he boys had
not more tfiau emerea the .u-.k* when- they
fired a volley upon me enemy, who were sent
under our breast works, in ten .tic style. Vol
ley alter volley was Iiretl—the enemy mean
while playing upon ua with iheir urtillery. ..The
bullets from ijje enemy fired atour battery whiz
zing over us and cutting the limbs above us
where we were secreted behind the hill in a ravine
which led to our works. Here one man had his
canteen struck with a bullet, and one of Co.<F,
James Warloy, of Rabun, was wounded in the
chin, but not seriously.
Another dispatch reach the General that the
enemy were coming in superior numbers, and
our force needed support, and that several were
killed. He ordered our gallant Colonel, C. D.
Phillips, whom we huve great confidence in and
whom the men all love, and would follow any
where, to take the remainder of the regiment as
a reinforcement. All being ordered into line
we proceeded dow n the ravine to our works,
amid terrific firing from the enemy’s cannon and
small arm*. We reached the works withont
the loss of a man. As soon as we recalled the
works our boys mounted the embankment and
fired a terrific volley upon the enemy, [your cor
respondent fired the first, shot,] who were stand
ing by hundreds within fifty yards of us, at
tempting to cut through our works, tearing tip
the uirt in front ot us anu knocking it in our
faces, and we sweeping them into eternity like
chaff’ betore a burning fire. Our boys showed
unflinching bravery, and shots fired by the
“Bay’s Guards” lrom Dahlonega, and Captain
K. R. Asbury’s company from the same place,
were a terror to the enemy. Private Woody ol
Company F—Sergt M M Johnson, wounded
in hip and arm slightly; Privates C Makine, J
Casorid and C D Kilter, killed.
Company D—Privates A H Gray, wounded in
the arin.
Company G—Andrew Read and John Hamil
ton wounded.
Col. Johnson was aUo wounded, but not seri
ously.
This is not more than half the number of
killed and wounded in our brigade, but is .all I
can obtain this morning.
In the battle that the 40th and 52d were en
gaged in the enemy is supposed to have lost
about 400 in killed and wounded.
The 31st Louisiana, who were with us in the
fight, lost great many, and I must Bay, that
braver men never fought. Company if, who
were in our pits, lost four killed and the Major
of the regiment seriously wounded. The num
bers lost on our right, commanded by Gen. Lee,
I could not ascertain.
This morning before day we evacuated our
pits, and have taken a position half mile in
the rear ou the hill, in rifle pitB, in order to
draw the enemy out from their gunboats, and
give them a complete reception.
Defend the city at all hazards, stems to be the
motto of our authorities here, and we have ev
ery reason to believe that, let the enemy come
in what shape or by what route he may, we will,
aided by the Providence of an all wise God, who
has sltap’ed our course, and sustained our stan
dard thus far, be able to render the piesent siege
of Vicksburg as fruitless as that of June and
July last.
Everything quiet to-day.

Co.’ (J,’and’ Corporal Cammel, should ever be
remembered for their bravery and continuous
firing in this fight. The men would load their
guns id the works below them and they stand
upon them to fire upon the enemy. These are
tome that I noticed particularly, others deserve
equally as much praise.
The enemy finding he could not effect his de-
mgn, ordered a retreat at dark, and the firing
ceased. In this fight one oi Co. I, of our Regi
ment, was shot through the head and killed.—
Hi* name was Hicks. .
At night we could hear the groan3 of the dy
ing, and could hear their comrades carrying
them from the field. No firing Monday night,
and a very cold rain fell, filling our entrench
ments with water, and wetting our ammunition
so that our guns would not tire well. We lay
in water all night, our sufferings being too great
to be expressed by language.
At daylight Tuesday morning we opened
fire again which was answered, and kept up
till in the afternoon, when the enemy came
in with a flag 01 truce to carry oft the dead,
which were close to cur piis. Permission
was granted them We looked over the em
bankment and saw them lying uead in every
position, and the knapsacks, canteens, guc3,
cartiidge boxes, cap boxes, haversacks, spade*
and shovels oovertd the ground.
On yesterday no firing was heard from the
enemy; and we were notified at 1 o’clock,
that there would be no firing for five hours.
