Nearly all the band were Germans, and several of the ruffians are reported to have exclaimed: This shall be the fate of the lopped-eared Dutch of Lincoln's hirelings Major Curtis' horse was shot under him, and he was shot and killed after having become dismounted. The bodies of Major Curtis, Lieutenant Farr, General Blunt's Judge Advocate, and two soldiers, will arrive here on the 8th, to be sent north. The losses of the enemy in the engagements with Lieutenant Pond and General Blunt, are estimated at about thirteen killed. About a dozen of their men have been found on the field, and they are known to have carried away some of their killed and wounded. Their heaviest loss, however, was in the attack on the block-house, and they could not have taken it without artillery. General Blun

sent out from the main army, the rebels assailed the town with great fury and carried it. Our forces were driven entirely out into the woods, but they speedily reformed, and charging in turn, dispossessed the rebels after a hard fight, in which they lost about three hundred men, and held the place against all opposition. There was some artillery employed on both sides, but how much or what sort I cannot learn. Lieutenant-Colonel Brown, of the Sixty-third Ohio, was mortally wounded, and Adjutant Farr killed. The post could not have been considered as of any particular value to the rebels, except as a point for rendezvous for small parties to sally out upon our trains. The design of creating a diversion in our rear, no doubt, formed a principal reason for the attack. The rebels appear to have preconcerted a series of petty attacks upon our rear during the day, in order to harass and distract attention from the main business in front.

A detachment of the regiment under Captain Pickering formed part of an expedition across Lake Pontchartrain in September, 1862. On the formation of the 19th Army Corps, under General Banks, the regiment became part of the 2d Brigade, 2d Division, with Colonel Farr as brigade commander. Still forming part of the force occupying New Orleans, seven companies of the regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Sawtell, engaged at La Fourche Crossing, near Thibodeaux, La., June 21, 1863, and, moving on the 30th, occupied Jefferson Station until relieved, July 15.

tution, with the troops of Gen. Butler's expedition on board, sailed from Hampton Roads at 3 o'clock P. M., having been supplied by Captain Grier Tallmadge, United States Quartermaster, with the necessary stores, and with some provisions by Captain Taylor, Commissary of Subsistence. The Constitution also took on board Brig. Gen. J. W. Phelps, who will command the expedition in the absence of Gen. Butler, until he joins it. This morning several ladies — the wives of Col. Jones, Lieut. Col. Farr, Maj.
