Generalt
In compliance nith your inatructiona. I have
the honor to aubtnil the folio (ring reittarks, in
ustificatiou of an o der issued by ine several
months ago, lor the exterminatioo of a par
ty of Oaaehe Indians in lbs Territory of Aii-
xonia.
HE KNOWS THE INDIAN CUABACTEK.
I beg leave to premise bp aayiog, that I have
lived from childhood on the frontier of Miseoeri,
Arkansas and Texas, arjt am familiar with the
Indians, and their habits both in war and peace,
f have witnessed repeated outrages and barbar.
■lies, almost beyond conception, committed by
the various ravage mbes upon the frontier peo
ple of this State. Snch scenes of horror and
revolting crnelry were well calculated to make
any man act and feel towards their authors io a
manner that may seem strange to those who
have no conception of the Indian chancier ex
cept from the very imperfect delineations of it
by novelists; bnt which, to the hardy frontiers-
mcn.'wbo have, for year siterlyear, suffered ao
terribly trout these savage visitatioos.Js as nat
ural as their hostility to the prowling beast of
*»r*. ■ •
It is a mattar of notoriety that for years past
tribes of Indians living in Kansas under treaty
with the U. S. Government, and receiving us
annuities, have been at war with Texans, as if
we were a foreign people. They regularly stole
from our frontier hundreds upon handled* of
velotblc animals, and found a market for them
at the Government forli and agencies, both in
out or Texas.
INDIAN CRUELTIES.
It is equally noioriona that, on numerous oev
cations, the women of our State have been ta
ken prisoners, and after being subjected to eve
ry outrage that tbe brutal passions ol the savage
conld prompt, they were murdered in cold blo*‘ d
and their aeaJpa used to ornament tbe shields of
the Indian warrior*. As one Of the faundnda of
sad proofs of aach scenes of horror, I have my
self seen an Indian shield, on which were the
scalp* ol twenty-two different unfortunate wo
men, paraded as emblems of the Indian murder
er's valor and proweaa Further. I present you
the shield of an Indian Chief, who was killed
by myself in a band to band conflict, in the
month of June, 1860, in Throckmorton county,
Texas, after he and hia marauding party bad
perpetrated aeveral murders in my Immediate
neighborhood. It is ornamented, you will see.
after the usual fashion of tho Indian warrior,
with a aealp, a woman’s fair tresses, those of a
young American lady, thought to be a Miss
Jackson, who had been murdered during one of
the frequent Indian raids. I respectfully reqnest
that it be sent to bis Excellency the President,
to enable him to judge whether there ia not
some cense for the bitter feelings I, in common
with the people of our frontier, entertain toward*
the Indians. As I write there is now in the city
of Houston, a young lady, from wilbse lips you
can hear a fain of Indian alrodtiea, which she
herself witnessed/ wherein a lady of resportav
bilily waa the victim of the most deliberate end
fiendish cruelly, which ie but one ot scores of
similar outrages that have desolated the homes
of my friends and brother frontiersmen for
year*.
Out I need not dialalo farther on this point.
A fall and detailed record of the whole eerie*
of Indian atrocities, perpetrated on the Fron
tier aeltlers of Texas, is now on tile in the
State Archives at Austin. It ia the result of
the investigations of • Board of Commission-
era compcsed of some of tbe most reepeofed,
roliablu and intelligent gentlemeu of the State,
appointed by the Oovernor for tbe express pur
pose or asesrtaieiog nU the facts as to the re
pealed reports of Indian cruellies inflioted on
our Frontier. It is * simple, unvarnished
narrative, but furnishes a fearful tale of sor
row and suffering. Women and children are
the principal sufferers of the atrooitim it de
plete, and Us perusal would, I am certain,
arouse the oldest heart aod leebleet arm la un
sparing hatred of'a relentless, merciless and
treacherous foe, and n natural desire to see
them driven uttdrly from the face of the
earth.
CAKN1VOB A—CANNIBALS.
I would here add, aa an additional motive
for tbp intense hostility of the thousands of
Texas Frontiersmen for the Indians, that the
tribes which have inflioted such losses on them,
are, with few exceptions, wilder, tleroer. and
more untameablo than any known to exist in
North America. They are more nomadic even
than the Arabs of the Desert; they live exclu
sively on meat, and' some tribes, it is well
known, are Cannibals.
MISTAKEN PHILANTHROPY.
The hue U. 8. Government attempted, how
ever, from the moat praiseworthy motive , to
tame and reclaim those savages, wi'h a perse
verance and a liberality, worthy of better ob
jeots for snch efforts and auoh expenditure.
That Government, tat seven years in Texas,
persisted in its efforts—based, as experience

WHY HE 1H8UED THE ORDER.
So soon aa the Indiana found that I was after
them with a formidable force, and determination
to pnaiah them severely, they went to tbe-Mine*
which they had bnt a short time previoily attack
ed, and with a flag of rroee. proposed to make a'
treaty. Then it was that I iraned the order to
exterminate them I bad jut read an article
published in the Charleston .Courier or Mercury,
sent me by Col A' B O’Bin on, from BxrMis-,
and which slated that our Congress bad declar
ed a war of extermination against alt those wild
and hostile Indian tribes whdhad nitown at ut
ter diarrgard for alt treaty stipulations. Pres
aumiog from such an important statement ia
such welt knowu rcirpoaibie journals, that it iu-
dicatad .the policy ol our government, and feel-
jug convinced (an I do still) that such a policy
waa tbeonly one snitable to the hostile and
treacherous tribes, I acted on it.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.
The question now presents itself, as to what
will be the policy of on. government towards
the Indians in such’exposed sections ee Arizo-
ms. Experience ha* demonstrated that ‘ since
they days-qf the 8panisb government in Mexico,
the people there have relied open the treaties
with the Indiana. The result has been, that all
Northern Mexico, that once teemed -with inhab
itants, and. with millions of stock, is now a
desert,' in consequence of Indian depredations,
following broken Ipdjau trexties. If the Con-
lederate Government adopts the policy of maUr
ing treaties and endeavors to purchase perce,and
affords no more adequate- protection from In
dians than the Government of the United
States has afforded to the Irontiar. of this Siam
and in Arizonia, the result will be that the citi
zens there, will be reduced to the condition of
stockraisers and holders for' the benefit of Inc
Indian tribes alone.
Arizona hae been kept in poverty by Indian d< pv
redations. Not a cow .sheep or horse can be raised
there now except by being het.led day and night
As the Indians there live almost exclusively by
stealing, depredations are a daily occnrrence.and
the people are kept poor from the want of pro
tection. Treaty after treaty has been made and
broken, and the general belief among the people
ia, that extermination of the grown Indians,and
making slaves ol tliechildrcd is the only reme
dy. This 'system hie- been practiced in New
Mexico. There ie not a family of wealth in that
country but has Indian slaves front this source^
In fact, so, popular is this system of civilizing
the Indians, that there have been several efforts
made to page a law in tbe New Mexican Lrgi*.
iatorc, making all Indians taken priionrrs slates
for life, lt was a knowladge of this custom
among the people of Arizona, that to some ex-
tent , influenced ine to give the order that' has
been the cause of complaint against me. 1
must aknowledge that, a firm believer in the
civilizing effects of the system of slavery as re
gards the Afirieanfrace. I cannot appreciate, as
it may possibly merit, the sympaly that would
consider the extension of 'hat system to the
youth of tho Indian' race, a measure deserving
of rebuke. K must further, acknowledge the
possession of no sympathy whatever for the
adults, whose highest ambition is tbe successful
prosecution, daily nnd nightly, of wholesale
robbery and unsparing murder, accompanied by
traits of fiendish crnelly and scenes of appalling
horror that the pen cannot depict nor tho imagi
nation conceive.
A DECISIVE POLICY.
As Tens and Ariaons are- the only portions
ol our' youthful Confederacy that will suffer
from Indian depredations and atrocities, it is a
matter of vital importance to them, wha. policy
will be decisively adopted by our government
towards the perpetrators of these villainies. I
risk nothing in asserting that this State suffers a
loss of five millions ol dollars annually, .attrib
utable to Indian dc-prcdatioi.fi alone, and the.
fact is evident, that heretofore the government
was either unable or un»illing to protect the
pe-ple. The result of tbit has been that the fron
tier counties of t his State have been almost ens
lirely abandon; d, and lands can now he pur
chased there for fifty cents per aero that could
not be purchased for. ten dollars per acre six
years ago. In fact, our frontier settlers are iasY
becoming lor the Indians, juel what the Mexi-’
cans are
' TItBxTIES WOBTHLRSd.

the w rid, H coaid not parchaoe peace with the Indi-
a-n, and, In my humble opinion, it would be far cheap
er to board these aavag** [ were that possible) at first
etas* hotels, than to continue the R-senraiion, feeding,
paint and blanket system longer. And one of the gov-
errn-g motives of one of the rioBtierJcoanties of Texa".
which poll a majority of the votes tin the State, in
joining the scceuloh movement, was the hope and be
lief that odrtfovafnnient would drop the old “peace

' rmination policy. -

shown, on a falser philanthropy than that
of England towards the slaves of Jamaica.—
The Indians lived on the Reserves and in tho
homes provided for them, expended their am
munition, devoured the Government provis
ions, pr.-t nded friendship, with the whites,
played at agriculture and civilization, and in
the meantime committed robberies and mur
dors innumerable on the eitizana of the Fron
tier.
Oar new Government has attempted to fol

the result? Why, that recently these Indians
murdered the Government employees, and left
to join our enemies in Kansas, as have a large

TiEACHEiY—CRUELTY.
lt was with sentiments towards tha Iadians,
the natural growth of years of such acquain
tance with them and their deeds as I- have
mt ntioned, that, at tbe head of the 2d Texas
M ousted Btflee, I marched into Arizona, in
1861, to drive out tho Federal troops. 1 found
in that rich and bcamiful country evidence? -of
constant Indian depredations, worse even than
thoso inflioted on Texas, and executed on a
much larger scale. I found at Fort Davis tha
formidable Apacbo Indians. They had come
in for .the purpose of making a treaty. As
Fort Bliss was threatened, at the time, by the
Federal forces ia Arizona, I could not slop to
make Ike treaty fritK the m - (off. was ordered
lo do by the Commanding officer of the De
partment,) but had the head Chief br- ught to
Fot t Bliss by stage, and there made the de
xtrwd iretyi ’4 leaded Mat with pxasento and
sent him by strgo back to Fort D.ivis,) be de
parting with abundant exprission* of friend
ship. Baths leffith* stage, after stealing two
pistols, and a few nights afterwards, the In
dians of bis tribe left Fort Darts, stealing all
the horses they could get, and killing n num
ber of cattle. They were pursued by Lieut
Mays. ‘-Co, D 2d Texas Mounted R.fles,
with 16 men, all of whom, except one man,
were killed, by the very Indiana whohad drawn
rations from ns for three months previously,
and who bad never been unkindly treated in
a single instance tkat I know pf.
From this on), outrages were committed
frequently; the mails were robbed; in one or
two instanced tbe passengers were found hang
ing up by their heels, with their beads within
a few inches of a slow fire, and they thus
horribly rcai'ed to death. Others were found,
tied to the. wheels of the coach, which bad been
burned. Tfceso Indians, four or five hundred
strong, then attacked the Pino Alto miner?,
would baYe murdered i?ary one there, b**t
for a puce of Artillery, sent there by my or-
dtr, in anticipation of such an tesault. Seve
ral traioB of emigrants were then attack el in
the mountain passes, and were'murdered, th
Indians robbing them of everything.
More than ono hundred of our citizens wers*
murdered by these Indians, in tho face of
Irt-aiy which lh*y had broken without pr-iva-
coiion. 'r^^wV ’ ~ a.*: - .
Upon the arrival of Gen. Sibloy’s Brigade,
tbeeo Indians stole from his troops one hundred

The National Intelligencer-
This paper,which had not entirely parted with
its better instincts, afthbogh it had sustained the
Lincoln government in most of itt earlier men
urea of policy, has ol Isle expressed its jest
sense ot indignation as regards recent violations
of the Constitution, hks received the following
reproof from the-Washington Chronicle, one of
tho slavish instruments of the Lincoln despot
ism ;■ ' ' .
There is not a number of the National Ihltlli
fencer, for instance, that ia not • reservoir of
transferred calumnies upon the government; not
a number which does not contain article* that
seem to have bfeen copied with the determined
purpose of poisoning the public mind, and of
bringing the authorities into contempt. This
treason is occasionally diluted by iho presence ol
p loyal paragraph or speech, but the animus ol
the concern, itar intense hud ineradicable'hatred
of tho general cguse, is shown uy the eager
ncsswiin which i' selects the complaints ol cap
tious and pretended fr'.ends,*and by tbe Satanic
ability with which it debates what it regards
as the tbort-comittga of the administration.—
Now this may ho patriotism, hut it seems fo us
that it is nothing more than baso and callous in
gratitude.
Hr. Bott*’ Slaves.
Those men of property who have been cap
olel by the Yankees with false promises that
their property would be preserved, ns the
price ot{tbeir neutrality,'are beginning to reap
the fruits of their misplaced confidence. Mr
BoUe is of this number. Verily he hoe hia
reward.
A Washington despatch bf May 16Ux says:
- A few days sgon number of slaves belonging
to John Minor Boils* came within our lines.—
Mr Bolts leqnested'lhe commander of the poet
to return them as he was a loyal man. The
commander telegraphed to Gen Heintzelman to
know what to do. Col. Lathropof the General's
staff, replied that they were free the momlfht
they entered their lines, aod conld not be return
ed to slavery.

Chicago. June 2,- 1863'—The proprietors of-
the ‘’Times” were notified to night by Capt.
Putnam, commanding Gamp Douglass, that if
they attempted to Issue their paper for to-mor
row morning he would, in acooraanco with. a
telegraphic order from General Ammon, take-
military possession of the office. Judge Drum

diately applied to for a writ eoj lining Capt.
Putnam from any interference whatever with
ihe ‘’Times” effic-;. Up to thfo hoar, mid-,
night, the Jadgo hs- not given a decision ; but
it is theught probable, however, that he will

Whethir by way of excuring the Yankees or exalt-
ing over the efficiency of to* contraband branch of
their army, the following paragraph seems to be the
climax or tbe expedition to and capture of Jackson:
Supposing that the year of jubilee had finally
come, iho colored peujde determined to enjoy it,
*vjio this end in view they stole everything they
conld carry off. Nothing canto amiss to those
rejoicing Africans ; they went around the
streets displaying aggregate miles of double

load of French mirth s, boots, shoes, pieces ot
calico, wash stands afri bowls, hoop-skirts, bags
of tobacco, patas.ds, umbrellas, and fifty other
articles equally ineon. ruous.
THE PARTING SCENE.
As we left the town it resembled more the ius
fernal regions than the abode of civilization.—
Vast vt lames of smoke lay over it, through
which, hero and thc.e, rolled fiercely up great
mountains of Aaine, that made iufernil music
over their work ol d*Atruction. The Confedes
tale Slate House—a large new wooden buildiug
—the penitentiary, several private houses and
aeveral G tverninem buildings, were' all in
flames. Tho prisoner in the poniteniiiry were
only two in number, and they wcreweleased be
fore the building was fired. In Ibis case, as in
every other, where private property was dev
stroyed, it was done without order, by the

town.
The inhabitant., were apparently highly ro
joiced over our depart me. The negroes on the
contrary, witnessed the evacuation with undis
guised amazement. When aaaiaiing the day
jflfore in plunder utt the town, they supposed
that the Yankees would stay forever and afford
them unlimited putiection.
ENCOUNTERING HIE REBELS.
On the eve.iing of the 15th, the force under
McPherson marched westward, and was follow
ed, by Sherman’s cr>rps on th* next morning,
and having form.d a junction with McCler-
nand's command, which had reached a point
fourieen miles west hf Jackson near Bolton’*
Station:
‘'They encoiiiiiert-il a hoary rebel force, and a
fierce and determined battle ensued. It raged
at intervals all day in d resulted in our captur
ing three batteries, fwoniy five hnndred prison
ers, .and routing il,e enemy completely. Oar
loss was heavy ; that of the enemy, in ali re
spects not less than 18.000 men. -

their accumulated Rtipplies. ther cannon in prime
working order, and their rifle pits littered with shot

00d 'BATTLE OF CHAMPION HILLS.
Eighteen miles easl sf thk bridge, on the
railroad, is a station known as Edward’s De
pot; three miles southeast of -this, on thi
county road, (which runs parallel with the
railroad) are Champion Hills, through whioh
runs a stream-sailed Baker’s Creek, after both
of which tho battle is irrespectively named —
A little south of this county road is another
road running parallel with it, and at which
commences Champion Hills,-.ran north, and
are orcased by the main road, along which oar
forces were advancing. .
On the morning of Saturday, May 16, Get,
Horsy,’who was leading! was fired upon by a
party of rebels, three miles from Champion
Hills. Skirmishers were thrown out, and the
rebels were slowly driven book, until they
reached tbe hills, when they developed them
selves in force upon the orest.
The story can be soon told.. Hovey formed
in line of battle and advanced straight upon
the rebel colomns, crossing an open field, and
then ascending the hills diteclly in the teeth
of the rebel bMteriei and Itnas of infantry.—
Logan strung round to his right, and Qnimby’i
division, under Gen. Crocker, took position on
bit left. The fight lasted i>om. morning until
late at night, and was plainly carried on on
our side, by the three divisions above named.
A CKRBO GORDO CHARGE.
-One cf tho most brilliant and daring opera
tiuna of this fight, or any other, was perform
ed by Gen Hovey at tho head of several of hia
regiments. He had met with varied successes
all tho morning,. sometimes gaining a little,
and again being driven. The heights were
steep, the enemy unmereus, their position al
most inaccessible and protected by limber,
while from every crest on tbe heights their
ba'teriet rained hurricanes of death upon his
thirsty, wearied column.
Finally, about noon, he arranged a s’orm-
ieg party, and heading them in person, moved
<1 r:. t!y up a g..rgs in the hills, every inch of
which was swept by thojnuaketry and artille
ry of the enemy. ’. Two four and one six gun
ba iery commanded tlmifoygs, and on both
tides of it were xuuMed'Leavy supports of in
fantry. On went tbe storming party, and in
twenty minutes the gallant remnant of Ijr-Je
whn started were hurrahing over the posses
sion of all the guns, the crest of the hills and
the totel rout of the infantry. In this charge,
the Twenty-fourth Iowa—a regiment made up
largely af clergymen, and hence known aa the
“preachtr’s regiment”—was foremost, and
was nf iriy annihilated. No more gallant
thing has been done in the history of gallant
efforts. Hovey, by this, has proved himself
hero of the first order.
GALLANTRY OF GEORGIA TROOPS.
The admission of the enemy in regard to the
conduct ol Georgians is in striking contrast
with the sayings of rune who have never heard
a ballet whistle, and certainly none had better
opportunities of judging correctly of the firm
resistance-offered by the Georgia troops' than
the crjcmywho met them :
. The-te'r els who. on this occasion, were com.
minded by Geo: Pemberton in person, fought
with the most reckless gallai-try. They were
mainly composed of Georgians, and were it not
i(iz; ihtlr < (forts were expended in the canse at
treason, Georgia would have reason to r mem
ber with lasting pride the day upon which her
sons fought ami died on Champion Hills. One
enlit* regiment prated in-.-nppori ofw Bettra of
batteries on the ere*', refused to retreat when
Hovey came upon them, and were to a man
killed, wbanded or captured. Five-aixiha of
the regiment were killed where they stood, re
fusing the boon of life at the expense of I icing
taken prisoners. . V
THE BATTLE CONCLUDED.
Ilovey's charge settled the fate ot the day —
tbe rebels troke and fled-in wild confusion.—
Thousands were taken prisoners—muskets, wa
gons, supplies of food and ammunition were ta
ken to «n extent incredible. Gan. Tilghman, of
Foil Henry notoriety, was killed, and General
Loring of much general notoriety lor bragging
and otherwise, sent aakulking fugitive with a
broken, disheartened remnant of hia command
to the southward.
* PASSING THE BIG BLACK.
The next day there remained a clear road to
tbs railroad bridge; our troops passed over it,
met no resistance till they reached the crossing
where Lawler, of McClernand’s corps, made a'
chargo upon a breastwork that defended the east
end ol the bridge, in wh ; cb he captnred sixteen
cannon and a boat of prisoners Ilia charge,
like Ilovey’s, was* most desperate and gallant
affair, fruitful in rood result* and almost equal
if not quite, to that made by Hovey on Champ
ion Hills.
This charge ol Lawter was made Sunday
morning—the next after the fight—and settled
the fate of the country cast ot the Big Black
river.
•THE FIGURES.
Our entire lots in this fight was about ‘J,000
killed and wounded. Our entire loss up to
the storming of tbe rebel works back of Vieks-
bnrg is not fir from 3,000. The rebel loss, by
killed, wounded, missing and prisoners—includ
ing thrao who have straggled front the army
from demoralization—ia about 12,000 of wliom
over 6,000 have been captnred, and are being
sent up the river.
HOW THE WORKS AT VICKSBURG
WERE APPROACHED.
Never did men take a position before an ene
my with a better spirit than that possessed by
our troops at they marched into the ravine be
fore the rebel dtten»s They had just performed
a march ofohehundred and fifty miles,and-fought
live different and holly contested battles in'a lit
tle Over two weeks. The weather was insuffer
ably hot, and with the exception of two days,
when they hourly swam bayous and waded thro’
mod and water Jtnoe deep, they had travelled
through dust that enveloped 'them like a cloud,
which, at the slightest touch of hoof or wind,
rose into the air like feathers. For three days
before reaching the rear of Vicksburg they had
nothing to eat oxcept what happened’to remain
in their haversacks, or what they could gel in
the country through which we passed; in fuel, I
know of caaes of regiments that, on Tuesday
morning, had not' tasted a mouthful ol food
since the evening of Sunday. And yet wearied,
parched, goaded and hungry, as they were,
when the order came in the morning to Btorm
the works, they fell into line with alacrity, and
reapo ided with cheers to tbe annonnee’ment that
they were expected to carry the line by ax>.
Malt.
THE POSITION.
Five hundred yards in front of a’ ridge encir
cling the rebel intrenchmr nts extends a series of
ridges, upon which arc the enemy’s defenses:—
Generally the country ie very uneven, and grad
ually ascending until within a mile or so ot the
town. Along the termination of this ascent the.
Confederates have thrown up their intrench-
menta. Upon all the heighti available,-and nesr
the rebel line,onr troopi planted batteries, which
early Tuesday morning set vigorously at wurk.
The difficult nature ot the works, aa one of at
tack, may be inferred from the lact. that one-
half of the artillery belonging to Sherman tvae
parked in tho rear of our position, there .being
no point available at which it could -be made of
use.
THE CHARGE.
At precisely 2 o'clock the various regiments
rose to their feet, and with a tremendous cheer;
started nt double quick over the hill.
Passing over tbe crest of the first bill, behind
which they lay, the charging column saw in
front of them another hill about 500 yards dis
tant. To reach this, it was necessary "to dies’
sernd a slope for about 250 yards, the surface of
which was broken with decp.-gnllies, and cover-
ed wi.li fallen timber. Down this our men rush,
ed at double quick, took a moment's rest at the
bottom, and then commenced the steep ascent
beyond. This slope is covered with an nbatlis
of heavy timber, beyond - which is a high rail
fence, then a ditch ten feet in depth, then a
nearly perpendicular ascent some twelve feet in
height, and then a parapet and rifle pit. proton-
d by n strong stockade ten feet in height. '
The ditches aroond the workB.were commen
ded by an inflading fire from guns mounted
upon traverses', while to the right and lett were
works and buildings and other objects, behind
which rebel sharp shooters could find protection
and poor a destructive fire upon an enemy, after
as well as before they had gained the interior of
of their main works.
The 18th infantry, 4th Virginia, 47th Ohio,
127th Illinois, Gth and 8lh Missouri, and pos
sibly one or two other regiment! gained the
difob.. The conflict was “short and deeisive.”
In twenty minutes the brigades had ascended
the bill, and returned minus some eight hun
dred men. The rebels mowed onr gallant fel
lows down with grape, CAniBter and musketry;
they were protected, we had nothing to shield
us from tho deadly storm.
The 13th ipfantry lost 83 men killed aud
wounded out of 204, among whom was its gal
lant commander, Captain Washington, wound
ed and taken prisoner: Capfo. Yates and Ew
ing. Lieuts. How, Little, Bales and other ofli
cors severely wounded. Every brigade in the
oharge had from three to five eolor bearers shot
down while advancing upon the robel works.
Three men of the 13lh regu’ars were killed
while carrying the colors. Captain Yates then-
seized them, and wsb in the act of planting them
in the ditch, when hfi was shot in four places —
He handed them lo a serge.nt, who was struck
down by a cannon shot, when they were taken
by Captain Ewing, who, although wounded
in the act, carried them safely from the field.
Tho Brigade under General Thayer advanced
and fell back alter suffering some slight loss —
Uad McClernand advanced as was intended,
the capturo of Vicksburg'wonld undoubtedly
have taken place at the same time of this first
aseanlt.
REBEL COURTESY.
Many of our wounded were left bn the field
until after dark, particularly those who were
' ing close to the rebel works. About midnight
,e enemy, called out to our ikirmiehcre not to
fire upon them, aa they were about to carry in
eorae ot our wounded. At tbe same time they
stuck up a small white flag by it, and then call
ed to oar men tocomo anti carry off tbe wound
ed, as thev would not be disturbed. This wit*
done by the amhnlance corps; guided by the
fire they went all over the ground covered by
the fight, even in the ditches, before the work*,
and before morning ii'ad secured every wounded
man left upon the field.
and it met with a repulse as decided as did
that of Tuesday. Tho usual ebaraoter of as
saults prevailel in this—some gallant heroes
went up the hill into the very ditohes, others
failed when halfway up, othersuevor started,
but sought safety from the deadly siorm be
hind logs aud trees, many started and went
forward bravely, but never returned. Steele
was repulsed, Blair was repulsed, Ransom,
Logan, McClernand, everybody—we gained
nothing of ground, wo lost in killed and
w.iunded in less than half an hour twenty, five
hundred men.
It was everywhere the same—down a broken
hill under showers of grape, canister, fr-g-
tnents of shells and musket balls; up n long
ascent cove ed with almost impenetrable abut-
Us, broken into hollows, nearly inaccessible to
a pedestrian.in the moat peaceful times, and
senrohed in every corner by the deadly mes
sengers from the orest. Onoo up there, a wide
difoh the opposite side, rising perpendicular
ly twelve feet; then a high ttookade. from
whose double loop hoist death was fltailing
forth unceasingly^upon the heights beyond a
fort mounted with guns, upon the right and
left works with cannon pouring a murderous
enfilading fire along tbe very dicth into which
our advanoe were crowding, vainly looking for 1
some place in front of them accessible. It was
in vain—they could not get ovor, if there was
no enemy beyond, unless thev should first fill
up the ditch, batter down' the sfookados or
mount them with long ladders. And to the
gallant men who had gained the direct lino
regained the hill beyond, and the second as
sault is ended.
General Carr is reported mortally wounded
Col. Dellioge is killed. Col Stone, of Iowa,
has an urm'shot off. Llenl. Colonels, Captains,
and Llonteiiaufo, without number, have gobs
down, killed or wouuded, in-this charge',
which den. Sherman pronounces more deadly
than that which took Sebastopol.
We have now sent for spades, and hereafter
tho work of reducing Vicksburg will be done
more by digging than by charging To-day
(Sunday) is quiet everywhere—the main work
goingon being the .transfer of our wounded
to hospital boats on the rivar.

A SEASON OF QUIET.
The next (wo days, Wednesday and Thuia
day, were in the main quiet, except in the case
of the batteries. Not less than fifty gnns, ol
sizes varying from six to thirty pounders, were
mounted in the rear of. the city, at short dis
tances from the enemy’s works, and these from
daylight'till dark, and many of them from dark
till daylight, keep up a ceaseless “poundcring”
against the rebel delenses. On tbe liver side,
the gun and mortar boats were also busy, thna
fairly encircling tbe rebels with tbander and
fire; but they seemed to care but I'urie for it
rarely replying to onr fire, and seemingly pay
ing ns no other attention than keepings vigi
lant watch' upon the movements of our intan-
tff.
HAINS8’ BLUFF FORTIFICATIONS DE
STROYED.
Almost immediately after our arrival com
mnnication waa established with onr forces at
Young’s Point, and the commie-ary and other
supply boats orpened up tbe Yazoo ufChiokt-
saw Bijou. The gunboat's at once started up
to Haute •’ Bluff, amTupon arriving TherS found
the place dozer tod. The guns,, soma eighteen
in number, were spiked ; but the ammunition
and much other material remained. The gona
were dismounted by burning their cirrieges,
the magazine blown up, and then the boafs
pushed on up. tho river. They went 83 far as
Yazzo city, which place surrendered at sight,
and after completing the destruction of an im
mens: ram, which^ihc rebels had left in their
haste, they returned to tho Mississippi.
ANOTHER ASSAULT AND REPULSE.
Wednesday and Thursday were .given up
tha artillery, and to getting our man ready for
another alack which took place at 4 P.’ u of
Friday.
It is needless to give particulars—it was in
the main like the other, only on ^larger scale,
