In this dreadful contest
our young warriors behaved
with a coolness and increpid_
ity which would hive done
honor to regulars—and the
Rangers I atiure you, luifer
ed no diminution of repu
tation, although we have to
mourn the loss of three es
ou- gallant spirits, who flew
to heaven in the contest.
tardus, Marray and Pool
fell bravely on the bed of
honor, " with their back
to the field and their fee] to
the foe.” The fir ft parti
cularly distinguished him*
fe[f in the daeadful charge
in which he fell, and had
| the dying consolation of
knowing that his death was
amply revenged. Where
ere ry man did his duty, it
would seem invidious to par
ticularize, but I cannot in
jullice omit mentioning the
signal gallantry delayed
by Ensign Blunt in the al
fault upen the tewn. When
the chargq was ordered, he
ruflied foiward with his pla
toon through the principal
way surrounded by hun
dreds of Indian?, who pour
ed fourth an ineeflant dis
charge of bullets and ar
rows upon them, and suc
ceeded in getting pofleflion
of a bfeaft work o t logs,
from which he greatly an
noyed the enemy in his re- '
trtaf. Lieutenant Varner |
fought his platocn well— I
and those young men of the i
corps on whom I relied with 1
the greatest oonfiednee, re
alized my most langaine
anticipations. The woun
