ornly for several hours, when Major Carmichael, hearing the cannonading, made a forced march, and charged through Dobbins' command just at the moment when he had brought up his reserves, and was about to make a final charge. Our forces immediately assumed the offensive, and marched in the direction of Helena, the enemy giving away before them, but following them up within nine miles of that place. Our loss was about fifty in killed and wounded, including Colonel Brooks, Captain Lembke, Adjutant Pratt, and Surgeon Stoddard, of the Fifty-sixth colored, killed, and Lieutenant Crane severely wounded, one caisson and one limber were blown up, their horses having been killed. The enemy's loss is estimated, by officers who were in the action, at about one hundred and fifty men. Twenty-seventh. A force of between fifteen hundred and two thousand rebels, under General Gano, attacked our outpost seven miles from Fort Smith, consisting of about two hundred men of the Sixth Kansas, under th

On the adjournment most of the senators retired,— a few remaining in their seats, or sitting or moving about elsewhere. Brooks then took the seat of Senator Pratt, just in front of where he had been standing, seat No. 12 on the plan, and a few steps only from Sumner's seat. Nicholson's testimony, Congressional Globe, p. 1366; Edmundson's, p. 1362; Wilson's, p. 1358. Wilson, whose seat (No. 10) was the back one on the aisle, and next to Sumner's, remained a few minutes after the adjournment to finish a letter, and as he passed out saw Brooks sitting in Pratt's seat, and their eyes meeting, they bowed to each other. Wilson's departure left no further obstacle in Brooks's way except the presence of a lady, and he asked an officer of the Senate to manage to get her out,—a request which the officer, not complying with, thought whimsical, but without suspecting his purpose.

Dwight read a delightful poem; Hale left too soon to do anything. H. introduced J. S. D. thus: Sweetness and light, your name is Dwight.

rted by the other regiments of the brigade, the Twelfth coming up on his left and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth, under McGowan, on his right, and they stood firmly against Meade's attack, delivering their fire at close quarters, without giving a foot. Driven from their guns, Orr's rifles were helpless, but every man who survived hailed the moment of his ability to regain his place in the front. Some of them, seizing their guns from the stacks, fought in the ranks of the First regiment. Sergeant Pratt, of Company B, rallied a number of the men, and took his place on the right of Lieutenant Charles' company. The Fifth Alabama battalion, the Twenty-second Virginia battalion, and the Forty-seventh Virginia regiment, from Archer's and Brockenbrough's brigades, came up to Hamilton's assistance, and together the Carolinians, Alabamians and Virginians charged and drove back the bold assault of Meade. Jackson sent Early forward, and a sweeping charge of his division drove Meade and Gibbon

with Stone it was not on fire, and that it did not take fire for some time after the authority was vested in him. Alderman Stork says further, that he saw the Yankee soldiers light their cigars and throw the matches in among the cotton, and Captain Pratt, of the Union army, said to Alderman McKenzie: I wish you had burned the whole (of the cotton); it would have saved us trouble, as our orders are to burn all the cotton in town. Moreover, Alderman McKenzie says it was some time after his return with Stone and Pratt that the cotton was on fire, and when the alarm was given be went to the spot and extinguished the fire, so that it did not at any time blaze out again. The Rev. Mr. Shand, of Columbia, says that the fire in the cotton originated from the fire of the cigars of the Union soldiers, and that neither sparks nor flames were extended to the neighboring buildings, and no damage was done, except to the cotton. In fact, the cotton which Sherman saw, and to which he alludes, was
