Pattersonville (Louisiana, United States) (search for this): chapter 177
d Seventy-fifth New-York volunteers, marched with our army from Pattersonville toward the enemy's works on Bayou Teche, some four or five milee, following the line of the railroad. A short distance from Pattersonville, pursuant to orders from General Emory, I sent the Fifty-third behind their intrenchments on the Beasland plantation, between Pattersonville and Centreville, as the straggling tire and final silence of thould have returned to a homeless desert. At half-past 5 P. M., Pattersonville was reached. This village is distant nine miles from Berwick Cambulances and wagons bringing up the rear. All had arrived at Pattersonville by six P. M., including the staff. A detachment of Major Robinfew moments their horses' heads were turned in the direction of Pattersonville, General Banks remarking: There are no enemy in front. We willng the road bordering the Teche, some two miles and a half from Pattersonville, fifty or sixty rebel cavalry suddenly sprang from out of a pie

aired. One shot from Captain Duryea's command struck and dismounted a large brass field-piece of the enemy posted near the woods on the left. It was a gun of Valverde's battery. From the effects of this shot Captain Valverde and four horses are reported to have been instantly killed, and four men wounded. The two thirty-pong to battery and gun answering gun. It is known that the enemy had three or four batteries behind their breastworks on the west side of the Teche, among them Valverde's and Semmes's, as well as the guns of the Diana (now silenced) and the large gun on the redoubt near the road. Our battery had already thrown grape and caniser inclosed in iron rings, the balls about one and a half inches through. Near the woods, in a ditch, I saw one of the famous twelve-pound brass field-pieces of Valverde's battery. One of our shells struck and dismounted it. Another piece was said to be in the woods dismounted also. I did not see it. The works were shot away an

The next day, about sundown, the Hart (iron-clad) was towed across the Teche, two miles below New-Iberia, scuttled and fired. She was not yet completed. She promised to be one of the most formidabl So rapid did our army follow up the enemy that they had no time to get their transports at New-Iberia away, and the Blue Hammock, Darby, Louise, Uncle Tommy, and Cricket were all either fired or sth them. The Cornie (the hospital boat mentioned in company with the Diana) was captured near New-Iberia the day previous. When our forces saw her stopped by the Diana she was on her way to New-IberNew-Iberia with her load of wounded. The commander of the Diana warned her not to proceed any further, as General Grover was in the neighborhood; but advised that he should return to Franklin, remove the woue captured and refused parole when the Diana was first captured by the enemy. We arrived at New-Iberia on Thursday. Here a large foundry was taken possession of by our forces. A similar one was s

ative. New-Orleans, April 19, 1863. The boasted spot of Southern rural grandeur--The country of the Attakapas, The garden of Louisiana, The paradise of the South --is ours. From Berwick City to Opelousas the victorious army of General Banks has advanced. Three battles, three gunboats and three transports the enemy have lost in three days. Twice were they defeated by the main army of General Banks behind their intrenchments on the Beasland plantation, between Pattersonville and Centreville, as the straggling tire and final silence of their guns in the face of our batteries on Sunday and Monday fully proved, while Grover at the same time was reaching their rear, harassing, engaging and finally driving them before him with such rapidity that they were compelled to make a stand on Monday at Irish Bend, where a sharp and decisive battle was fought, in which the rebels were defeated and fled into the woods. Three gunboats — the Diana, Hart, and Queen of the West--are no more.

an these soldiers, comprising the Nineteenth army corps. I have looked for and even asked to be informed of a case of cowardice, and pledge my word that I neither saw nor heard of one. Lieutenant John Freer, of company D, was shot in the stomach at the head of his company, just before the charge, while leading on his men. The shot was fatal. On receiving the ball, he staggered and fell, exclaiming: My God, I am shott; tell my wife that I died doing my duty. He was a native of Ellenville, Ulster County, was married about three months ago, and was a young man about twenty-six years of age. Private A. Grimley, of company D, of the same regiment, about this time exchanged several shots with a rebel hid behind a tree. As the latter advanced to fire, both pieces were discharged at the same instant. The rebel was shot dead, while the ball from his musket grazed Grimley's head. When Colonel Kimball moved on the right works on Tuesday morning, after the evacuation, Grimley had th

ce of cavalry, infantry, and artillery started in pursuit. The cavalry of the rebels had formed in line of battle about half a mile from the earthworks; but as soon as they saw our forces mount them, they hurriedly left. Before following the enemy, it is proper to state what occurred in their rear, and what was the result of General Grover's expedition. At eight o'clock on Saturday morning, the eleventh inst., General Grover's division left Brashear City on the gunboats Clifton, Estrella, Arizona, and Calhoun, and the transports Laurel Hill, Quinnebog, and St. Mary's. Two small tugboats had in tow rafts loaded with artillery, munitions of war, etc. The intention was to have left the night previous, but the dense fog detained them until the time mentioned above. The whole proceeded up the Atchafalaya River in line, the Clifton taking the lead. As the loaded vessels steamed up the river, one after another passing our army marching along the river road, hearty cheers were give

Three large transps, extending from the Teche to the woods on the west side, and to Grand Lake on the east, were evidently of great strength and in admirable poextended for three quarters of a mile, reaching from the shore of Grand Lake to the bank of the Teche. The advance of the Thirty-first was tion, the grounding of one of the transports near the entrance to Grand Lake, and a delay of upward of twenty-four hours in laying off where adetained them a considerable time. The expedition proceeded to Grand Lake, meeting no obstruction whatever. Steaming up the lake a few mully an advancing army, was perhaps never seen. Extending from Grand Lake on our right to the Teche, with obstructions across that stream, ree brigades, arrived at Indian (sometimes called Irish) Bend, on Grand Lake, and prepared to land.

lt was at last ordered, as the enemy's infantry had massed in considerable force to receive us. We lost ten wounded and fifteen horses killed. The names of the wounded men are given below. One of our men was taken prisoner by the enemy. He could not check his horse. In a second charge he was rescued by our men. General Emory complimented the commanders for this brilliant affair. When I left General Banks's headquarters on Friday morning, at ten o'clock, four miles above New-lberia or Newtown, (the army having been advancing from the neighborhood since six o'clock A. M.,) we had already captured between one thousand four hundred and one thousand five hundred prisoners. Some were barefooted, others without blankets and hatless, and all meanly and scantily dressed in coarse home-spun. Between two and three o'clock on Monday afternoon General Banks and staff were in the rear of the column a short distance, when a shell from the enemy passed directly over the General's head, appa

engaging and finally driving them before him with such rapidity that they were compelled to make a stand on Monday at Irish Bend, where a sharp and decisive battle was fought, in which the rebels were defeated and fled into the woods. Three gunboats — the Diana, Hart, and Queen of the West--are no more. The two former were fired in the Teche by the rebels, to prevent them falling into our hands — the former on Monday, the latter on Tuesday--while the Union gunboats Estella, Calhoun, and Arizona, at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, discovered, attacked and destroyed in Grand Lake the famous iron-clad ram Queen of the West. Three large transports — the Newsboy, Gossamer, and Era No. 2--which were lying at Franklin, were also destroyed by fire, as it was found impossible to get up steam and escape up or down the Teche before our troops would overtake and seize them. The consequence was that, like the Diana and Hart, they were burned to prevent them from falling into our hands. <
