DEsn GAZETTE ;——As I telegraphed you,
”Mupon learning of the positive decease of
"Lieut. Col. Walter and the place of his
- buri‘al,‘"- in cdmpany , with Chaplain Hall of
.thedNi’iand Chaplain Wheeler of the 55th
.thrg,:;I; started from camp at 2 P. M., of
. Friday for U. S. Ford—distant eighteen
'j miles. All the forepart of the day had been
‘ fbfinsum’ed in getting the neccessary permits,
lpasses _&c—éto go over the‘ river under the
'TIflag‘ of truce there in force at the Ford.
Our horses were strapped with provender
for their own feeding and with blankets for
our “camping out” that night, while swing-
“ing'. from our shoulders were the inevit-
liable haversacks filled with “hard tack” and
sham. 'The ride was through the broken
-,,Yirginia country—across fields now swept
" and barren, of fences and every indication of
' fertility, and about six miles beyond our
’ outer picket lines. Our mission itself was
"settlemn one, yet filled with a pleasing-sense
-':0f showing at least a slight evidence of re-
;iSpect and regard for one I so highly es-
‘ ._tcemed when alive and for one who so no-
:bly, so heroically died. Its monotony was
only broken by the almost interminable line
" “of ambulances, which we met on the way
Yand which were bearing the last of our
wounded braves to the kindly care of our
, own, surgeons and hospitals.
We'reached the Ford about 6 P. M., af-
’ ter ate‘dious, and to me, painful ride. To
"Our surprise and regret we found that the
~>pontoon bridge had been taken up at4 P.
J!.,‘ although some 50 of our ambulances
were, still - on the other side. This was
done: as we learned, in strict accordance
‘ with the understanding that it should be ta-
*kedmpat‘ that hour. A raft had been con-
:structed and upon this they were ferrying
pm the remaining ambulances and teams.
,. Chaplain Hall and myself went over upon
ithis raft and requested of the rebel ofilcers
' in commari/d of the point, the privilege of
proceeding up to the “Batch House” for the
ribody. We were treated with marked cour-
nnsy and our mission seemed to receive re-
,,spectful. and even a humane consideration,
but as the bridge was already up and it
would be impossible for us to obtain the
' Corpse and return that night, they obviated
‘SOIII' request with the promise that they
'wvould have the body disinterred and for-
-.warded to us, via Fredericksburg. Upon
this assurance we recrossed, and the duty of
its recovery I left in the willing charge of
,his chaplain, who will advise you as soon
as his efforts shall prove successful.
1‘ “After recrossing the river, we rode up to
One of those cool little water springs with
‘ which Va., abounds, where we dismounted,
led our horses and disposed of a portion of
gourown rations. Appearances fully justi-
fied the suspicion that it was‘nt a good place
“to be in, so after finishing our humble re-
‘past we mounttd our horses and rode on
V‘withaview to getting within our picket
lines, before we halted to bivouac. Upon
.reaching our pickets, however, we were in- ,
,fogtued that information had been received
at Head Quarters of a contemplated rebel
raid across the river during the night, with
's- view of destroying our pontoon boats.
This new phase of affairs, led us to forego
Our fatigue and make with all reasonable
speed for our own camp, which point we
reached (uhder escort of a body guard from
Gen. Shurz’s Head Quarters) at about 12
O’clock midnight—a feat of equestriamhz‘p
not soon to be forgotten by your humble cor-
respondent. The distance, thirty-rile miles in
one afternoon, were a sufficiently appalling
task under the most favorable circumttances,
but I had a most incorrigable old stumbler
Of‘ateam'horse to ride, and what with plun-
ging through woods and ravines, jumping
bogs and ditches—and the instinct Of the
poor animal the only reliance for certainty
Of; direction or footing—the recollection of
that ride is so deeply seated in my memory
-‘-_-th.at in the event of my being drafted, the
éoiidlry service, will not be graced with my
pérdonal adornment.
’f‘TVhile at the Ford, we accidentally learned
bf‘th’e-death of a member of the 17th. He
expired in the ambulance the day before,
just as the poor boy had landed on our side
pgthe river and was buried at the top of
the hill to the left of the Ford road. The
soldier in the ambulance with him, said his
name was Patterson, from which, and the
fact that George Patterson of New Canaan,
is‘missing, leads to the fear that the two are
identical, although the personal description
does not correspond to that given of George
Patterson. I left Patterson’s brother at the
shel'lth camp and he will no doubt clear up
the mystery. This young man was wound
gdthrougb the lung—and had a slip of pa-
per in one of his pockets With “Oscar Frost,
.141 Pa." written in pencil upon it.

Coming up the river from Acquia, I met
Geo. B. Fielder, reported missing; he was
captured as was also Capt. E. A. Finney,
now paroled. Our 27th boys are also back
at Annapolis; short rations at Richmond ex-
pedites prisoner exchanges. Capt. Benson,
whose case I alluded to, .is doing well. It
was at the request of his own Regimental
Surgeon, Dr. Dudley, that Surgeon Hubbard
was hunted up to perform the critical opera-
tion, which is not only: going to save his life
to all appearances, but his arm also. Con-
sidering that it was done on the road-side,
under all the disadvantages of a hasty retreat
and after Dr. Hubbard had lost most of his
instru‘ments, it reflects the greatest credit up-
on the skill of Dr. H., who has won golden
opinions on all sides, both for his ability and
humanity.
Saturday, I was over to see the few. re-
maining boys of the once numerous, now
decimated but glorious 5th,—those from Nor-
walk are all well and in good spirits.
Capt. Fowler is in command of the 17th,
during the temporary absence of Maj. Brady,
There is not a position in the Regiment the
boys would not cast a unanimous vote for
him to fill. At the time of the march over
the river he was sick, but went, stood by and
returned with his men. Capt. Allen is said
to have handled his men in a most commend-
able manner. Young Ells, Tim, Fred Betts
—all sort of GAZETTE boys—did themselves
and the Ofllce, credit, by their courageous
conduct. Yours, &c., B.
P. S.—'—Let me entrant all those who have
sick or wounded friends in these Hospitals,
(and those who are not and are able.) to send
them Oranges and Lemma—sufferings from
wounds, fevers, rheumatism, seem to bear no
proportion to the thirst which tortures the
days and nights of every inmate—a thirst
that water does not assuage, while it is al-
most sure to produce bowel difficulties. It
is vegetable acids they need and crave—keep
home your sweet-cake and send Oranges and
Lemoni I packed a box of Oranges in my.
capacious Carpet-bag and Haversack and
took down and distributed among our boys.
Let all Who visit the army do likewise and
they will receive a reward of gratitude which
will more than repay them for the trouble
and burden. '

WCapt. Douglas Fowler arrived home
on a short furlough last week. He has been
sick recently, but is now looking quite well.
He expects to return the present week.
Lieut. McQuhae, also returns this week.

WIt will astonisb our boys in the 17th,
to learn .that their “ dead man,”—Sydney
Smith,—turncd up all right last week! Noth-
ing but his veritable presence in town could
substantiate his living existence, and indeed,
after having heard at least a' dozen aver that
they saw him fall, we are suspicions that it
may be his ghost !

WWe rejoice that Capt. Fowler is to
succeed the late brave and lamented WAL-
TER, in the LIEUT. COLONELCY of the 17th
Regiment, as it is the position his Norwalk
friends asked for him, when the regiment
was being formed. We know that the
whole regiment and the people will say
ii ‘men.”

WLast week a news item was copied
into the Gazette from an eastern journal af-
firming that Lieut. Col. Jas. A. Betts, of
Danbury, of the 5th Regt. was dismissed the
service *for rendering fraudulent accounts
against the Government. We are glad to
learn that it is a mistake. We have seen his
certificate showing that lie was honorably
discharged on a Surgeon’s recommendation.

The Fakir of’ Vishnu,
Gave two entertainments at Norwalk Hall,
Friday and Saturday evenings. He had the
stage fitted up in elegant parlor style, and
performed his wonderful feats of magic and
necromancy without the customary mise on
scene of wizards. In addition to his sleight
of hand performances he gave away a large
number of presents to the audience. The
distribution of these presents was one of the
one man drawing a bag of flour, another a
liam,(.“ a-ham,” as the boys say,) another a
razor, and another a cradle, while one lady
received adress pattern, one a hoop-skirt,
and others jewelry. crockery, groceries, &c.
The Fukir is to be in Danbury, this week,
on Tuesday and Wednesday, and at South
Norwalk, Friday and Saturday Evenings.

“No Best for the Wicked.“
The Navy Department has received in-

co-operatiug with Gen. Grant in the
siege ofVicksburg. His fleet is cannon-
n‘ading the city and its works, still in the
bands of the rebels, by night while Gcn.
Grant’s army asiiuiled by day, thus giv ng
the rebels within the town and entrench-
ments, not a moments relaxation from the
perils of their situation. The same De-

mation that Admiral ‘Farragu‘t’s fleet“ is
actively engaged in bombarding Port

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-—The following
official details of the battle of Black Riv-
er, have been receivedz—é-
Msnrnrs, Tenn. May 23d.—11-30
To Hon Edwzn M. Stanton Sec. of
War. ,
The following dispatch has been receiv
ed at these headquarters, and it is for-
warded as requested.
S A Hurlburt, Maj-Gem,
Rear of Vicksburg, May 20th 6 A M
To E M Stanton, Sec. of "Wan-—
Gen. Grant won a great and momen-
tous victory over the rebels, under Pem-
berton, on the Jackson and Vicksburg
Road, at Baker's Creek, on thelfith inst.
Pemberton had 'a most formidable posi-
tion on the crest Of a wooded hill, over
which the road passed longitudinally.
He had about 25,000 men. ,
The battle began at 11. A M and was
gained at 4 PM. ‘
Hover attacked the hill, and held the
greater part of it till 2 o’clock—when,
having lost 1,600 men, he was succeeded
by Booner and Holme’s brigade Of Crock-
er’s divisiou,by which the conflict was
ended in that part of the field.
Boomer lost 500 men. Logan opera-
ted on the right, and cut ofi‘ the enemy’s
direct retreat, so that he was compelled
to escape by his right flank through the
woods.
Logan lost 400 in killed and wounded
We took about 2,000 prisoners.
0n the 17th, advancing to the Big
Black, we fought Pemberton again, at -
the bridge there, and captured 3,000
more prisoners. He fought in rifle pits,
protected by a difiicult Bayou full of ab-
battis.
Lawles’ brigade of McPherson’s corps
charged the rifle pits magnificently, and
took more prisoners than their own num-
bers.
Pemberton burned his bridge, and re-
turned to Vicksburg, with only 3 cannon
out of 60 he had taken out.
After building 4 bridges over the Big
Black, Gen. Grant arrived before the
towu on the evening of the 18th, and
now holds it closely invested. . _.
He had opened a line of supplies.lo
Chickasaea bayou, having cut the town
of from Heine’s Bluff, which is abandon-
ed by the enemy, and which Gen. Grant
will occupy.
d There was sharp fighting through. the
ay.
Yesterday Steele won and holds the
upper blufi‘s and the enemy’s upper wa-
ter batteries and gets water from the
Mississippi.
Sherman’s corps lost yesterday 500
killed and wounded.
McPherson, who holds the center lost
iitftle as did McClerhand who holds the
e t.
Tue gunboats kept the enemy alert.
during the night and probably the town
will be carried today.
There are from 15,000 to 20,000 men
iuit. ‘
FIVE BATTLES.
NEW YORK, Sunday Afternoon.—The
Heralds special cosrespondent from
Washington, says advices from Gen.
Grant have been received by the Presi-
dent giving the details of his proceedings
to the 20th. He had fought 5 battles,
captured 64 guns, and taken 9,400 pris
oners.
O
BaaNuu my Ton Tamra—P. T. Bar-
num arrived in Philadelphia yesterday,
and was soon closeted with Gen. Tom
Thumb and wife. It seems that Mr. ‘B.,
not content with the hundred of thousands
of visitors, and tens of thousands of dol—
lars drawn to his Museum by the little
General’s wife before the Grace Church
Wedding, was determined if possible, to
secure the miniature husband and wife
for the purpose of exhibiting them in con-
junction with the renowned Commodore
Nntt and little Minnie Warren, at his
"curiosity shop,” for a week or two. The
petite General urged that he was making
$1,000 per day by exhibiting on his own
account, and therefore, the Museum could
not afford to indemnify his little family
for showing themselves: but Barnum in-
timated that on the ground of “sold lung
sync" he ought .to have a chance to ex-
hibit that miniature quartzite to his Mu~
scum patrons if only for a fortnight, for
which be was willing tn allow a most lib-
eral pile of greenbacks, make or lose, for
he professed to care even more for the
“name of the thing” than for the direct
profits. Besides, Mr. Barnum’s engage-
ment with the “$30,000 Com. Nutt" has
not yet expired, and he ofi'ered to trans-
fer the Com. to the Gen.(not as aprison-
er of war, but as a piece,) on liberal terms
provided the object of his mission to
Philadelphia could be accomplished. The
.Gen. and his wife urged that this was
intended for their last week’s exhibition
in America, they having taken state-
rooms. for Europe in the steamer of J one
the 10th. The upshot Of the matter is
however, Barnum guarantees that the
passage tickets shall be transferred to a
future steamer, and he has offered such
inducements as to tempt the Gen. and
his wife to exhibit in his Museum for two,
and possibly three weeks, commencing on
Monday next, May 25th, Of course the
rest showman was delighted, and he
left by the first train for New York,
whither he has hastened to prepare for
the event. Won’t there be a- ,“grand
commotion” in Gotham for the next fort-
night. Surely Barnnm .is great, and
Thumb is his profit.e-¥Plltlad¢lphin Esc-

The following items we copy from a pri-
vate letter, dated May 19th:
“ The indications are that no forward
movement will be, attempted at present.—
Wecommcncé clearing ground today for a
.new camp, and shall probably move into it
within two or three days. Gen. Hooker has
ordered all the army to take new camps. I
was at the Division Hospital yesterday; all
the sick and wounded are, doing well. Mr.
Flynn is so that he can walk around, but his
toe is rather painful; he is cheerful, and the
life of the hospital. Charles Davis and Wm.
H. Palmer were paroled by the rebels and.
sent to us; they had but little to eat, and say
the rebs had no more than they did; they
were treated well by the rebels. As the reb-
els had no quarters for the wounded, they
had to lay on the ground for ten or twelve
days.
Sunday afternoon, Corporal Thomas D.
Brown, Co. A., died in the Division hospital.
He was buried yesterday, with full military
' honors, members of Co’s A. and F. attending
as the escort. The Chaplain delivered a
very suitable discourse. Corp. Brown died
.singing a patriotic song. The morning we
left Norwalk the Company partook of his
wedding feast. We would have sent his
body home, but at present are not allowed
to do so.
Capt. Fowler has gone home on a short
leave of absence; though not well he has
been on duty all the time since the morning
of the battle. He leaves Capt. Moore, of
Danbury, in charge of the Regiment. I hope
Captain will return with leaves on his shoul-
ders.” '
MAY 20th._—To-day we have changed our
camp, and now have the most pleasant one
We have yet had. We all feel decidedly bet-
ter. We have two brass bands, the 55th’s
and 107th’s Ohio,—both good ones.
Gen. McLean, whom we all love so much,
has left us to take a command under Burn-
side. He reviewed the Brigade, yesterday,
and bade us good-bye; he regretted parting
with us, and said that he had tried, and
should yet try to have us with him. We all
hope yet to be with him. Col. Lee has also
left us. Col. Smith though is a fine man.”
Under date of May 20th, Chaplain Hall
writes us as follows:
“ Last evening we lost another of our men
—Ireneus woodman of Co. C., the son of
Mr. Woodman, of Bethel, the Post Master
there. He died at 8 o’clock last evening,
from wounds received in the late battle.—
When brought to the hospital, on Thursday,
he was in good spirits and apparently able to
recover from his wound, which was in the
'shoulder. Several copious hemorrhages from
the wound, however, weakened him and fi-
nally caused his death. His body was em-
balmcd to-day, and tomorrow will be sent
to his friends.
’ Capt. Bronson, of the 14th, is getting along
very comfortably. To-day we moved our
camp about half-mile back to the right, for
sanitary reasons.”
We make the following extracts from a
letter written by Orderly Jarvis, Co. A., to
a friend in New York, dated Annapolis, Md,
May 17th :— .
“ I thought that I would write a few lines
to let you know that I have met the enemy,
“ and not theirs !” I suppose you have heard
all the details of the battle Of Chancellors-
ride, so I shall not undertake to fight it over
again. Our division was the first one enga-
ged on Saturday afternoon. It was nothing
more than a surprise. Jackson had his
whole force upon our right flank before we
knew anything about it; many of the boys
were eating their supper when the fight he-
gan. They made mighty quick work with
our brigade. Our Company was the only
one that had a chance to fire. I stopped to
try to get Off one Of our boys that was
wounded, and the first thing that I knew
the rebs were all around me. We laid, them
out pretty well though. They marched us
to a place called Guinncy’s' Station, on the
R. R. to Richmond, where they gave us
some rations and kept us ’till Thursday.
Jackson was in a house wounded, close
by where we were. He died last Sunday;-
the Richmond papers were all dressed in
mourning. It is a big blow for them; they
do not know what to do about it. On Thurs-
day they commenced marching us to Rich—
mond,—3,000 of us,—where we arrived Sat-
urday, and were immediately taken to the
Libby prison, where we were nearly starved
to death, and kept there ’till Wednesday,
when they marched us all the way to City
Point, about 35 miles in one day. I am anx-
ious to get back to my regiment as soon as
possible, to pay the rebs. off for the way I
have been used.,We arrived here yesterday.”
WThe following interesting letter from
a soldier in the 17th C. V., to his wife, we
have been kindly permitted to copy:
' ‘ PAROLE Cm, Amuroms, MD.)
May 17th, 1863. - j'
Dun Wm :-—I am glad to have arrived
at a place where I can write and let you
know that I am safe, you have of course
heard that I was among the missing. I was
taken prisoner on the 2d at my post; the
whole rebel army could not have made me
fallback without orders, and if all had felt
assure of successes I did, they could not
have been forced back.
Our regiment was placed in a garden
and our company was facing the enemy,
the thunder of the enemy’s and our own ar-
tillery was more terrible than any I ever
heard from the heavens, and the rebel mis-
sels brought death to many a poor soul,
but that God that rules, kept me safe from
harm, while others close to me had their
limbs shattered.
As the rebels came outpf. the woods they
had to come over a level clear lot, and as
that traitor flag came-out of the woods, a
thrill ran through my veins and i waited
for the bearer of it to get near enough for
my shot to reach him, about that time we
had the order to fire, I drew as close a sight
on him as I knew how, and that rebel fell
with many others.
After firing some time I looked around to
see how things were going on, and to my
surprise, there were only three or four of us
in the garden. I had heard no order
to fall back, all I had heard was one of the
men said, “ we will have to fall back," and
I told him that we could hold our ground.
I felt so sure of our success that I had ta-
ken my knapsack Off and hung it in a tree
till the battle should be over.
The last order I heard before being taken
was from Lieut. Col. Waters, and that was
to stand our ground, and he like a true sol-
, dier‘stoodhis ground till the messenger of
depthvfgund him—may his name. never die,
MofehOuse; Samuel Nowell, Teamster; Pat- '
down in quiet and reflect upon the provi‘
for henna-brave and true to his adopted
“Wet '
After being taken, we were marched .
across the cleared field in front of the gar- .
den—the dead and wounded rebels lay
strewed over the ground and the shell from
our own batteries were bursting around
its, putting me in danger of being killed by
my own friends, but I came through un-
hurt, and feel to thank the God of battles
for his mercies. .
We were macrcbcd three days without
anything to eat, and the rebels bad robbed
the most of us of all we had, even 'taking
from some their money and watches and
taking the hats and caps from some and
putting tneir own old ones in their places.
We were marched roundabout ways to
Richmond and put in the Libby Prison and
there almost starved to death—we were
kept in the prison four days then marched
to Petersburgh and from there to City
Point, where our beats were waiting to
bring us Off, and you may well believe I
was glad to see the old flag again, and get
enough to eat once more.
My shoes were completely worn out and
I had to march about ten miles barefoot.
We would have been marched 40 miles of
the last part of our journey without any
rest, but for a tremendous storm in the
night, through which the rebels horses re-
fused to go. s
New I feel like paying the rebels off for
all this and I think now more than ever that
we shall at last conquer them. Their army
is on half rations, and we can get more
here for five cents than one dollar will buy
South; they will give two dollars of their
money for one of ours,‘and flour was 31
dollars a barrel in Richmond.
We are getting new clothes and I hope
we shall soon be exchanged, for I feel as
thoughIshould be glad Of the chance to
face the enemy again for I feel more like
fight than ever, after being marched about
200 miles, half starved and sleeping in mud
and water. RUFUS BUTTERY,
Co. A,17th C. V.
The following was crowded out of our
Senior's letter last week:
Our 14th Regiment suffered as usual.
By far the most seriously wounded man
I have seen is Capt. Isaac R. Bronson,
Co. I, of New Haven. He was shot in
upper section of the arm and the bone
shattered. He was t. ounded on Sunday
morning, and could get no. surgeon to
touch it until the next Tuesday at 5. P.
M., be most fortunately chanced to meet
Surgeon Hubbard of the l'ith in the road,
who stopped his litter and proceeded at
once, with such instruments as be had, to
perform the critical operation of a resec-
tion of the upper half the humerus, un-
jointing the bone at the shoulder socket,
extracting the conical ball from the flesh,
and then, with the arm thus left bOneless,
closed the flaps of the incision and
the Capt. is now doing well and with
every prospect of saving his arm.
fi-We are permitted to publish the
following letter from Mr. Geo. Lees, of
the 17th, to his wife ;
Bsooxs’ STATION, May 10th, ’63.
DEAR WIFE :——I received yours of the
20th yesterday, and was, pleased to hear
of your Welfare. It is a baautiful spring
morning and after the exciting scenes of
the last few days, it is pleasant to sit
dence of God in the past, and commune
with our loved ones at home. Oh! that
we might together give thanks unto our
Father for the core and kindness He has
bestowed upon me, in the midst of dan-
gers and death. When I look ;back on
the scenes through which I have passed,
it seems a miracle that I have escaped
unharmed. I have been exposed to‘the
hottest fire of the enemy. I have seen
soldiers on foot struck down all around
me I have been nearly uuhorssd sever-
al times by the stunning effects of can-
non shot passing near my bead4—limbs
and twigs that were touching mv face
have been cut off and fallen to the
ground. I can compare it to nothing
but a storm of Wind and' hail accompa-
nied with lightning and the roar of thun-
der, the peculiar whistling { or screaming)
sound of the balls and shells, it is impos-
sible to describe, it was the music of 30
or 40,000 pieces used by experienced
hands. I should think nearly four-fifths
of the shot fired went over our heads.
I was on horseback all the time and I
should think that where there was one
man hit, there was twenty shot that
passed 0781: his head. If they had fired
just a little lower they wduld almost
have annihilated us. The 17th fought
well and did not retreat until they were‘
ordered and then they only fell back a
short distance and rallied under the pro-
tection of the batteries, fighting as they
went, ‘until the enemy was checked and
driven back, though the febels occupied
the ground where. our division lay. Had
the German Regiments shown any pluck,
we might have recovered it and held it,
but they ran Ilkl: coivarils and many of
them did not stop until they got back
here to Bi'ooks’ Station, where they
came straggling in till day Sunday. I
have not been able tolook upon a Ger-
man since without ll feeling of disgust.
Perhaps they would have done better
had Sigel commanded them, they have
unbounded confidence in him. Our regi-
ment did some good lighting on Sunday
and Monday, when they were exposed to
a terrifiic caiinouudiiig, but most Of the
casualities occurred on Saturday after-
noon. Several snrgeous and men want
to the battle field day before yesterday to
relieve the wounded and bury the (lead.
Another fight is contemplated soon,
the army is in good spirits and have
great confidence in Hooker. His cool-
ness‘ and outrage is the theme Of the
whole army. I think I see him now as
saw him on that day when the rout oc-
curred, sitting on his horse in front of his
quarters, calm and self composed as if
witnessing ravreview, while regiment after-
rcgiinent of infantry and Artillery came
rushing past in ii whirlwind of confusion.
I halted my ambulangs and drew them
up beside his quarters. I wheeled my
horse into ll position where I could Ob-
serve his countenance. I could not per-
ceive the. least indication of four or on,-
gel- Tm enemy were coming on like a
Whirlwind, upil the outlets were whistling
all around blip—hill with his face to
the enemy he did not seem to heed them.
nose and courage my fears vanished and
I felt confident; of success. Then I of-
l‘ered up a silent prayer to God (not for
myself, I did not think of self—it was
swallowed up in contemplating him) that
he might be shielded from harm. I can
not tell what passed through my mind as
I sat there. I had seen the bristling
bayonets of our troops when' on the
march, reaching for miles, forming a host
which seemed sufficient to crush at one
blow any army that could be brought
against it. I saw that army routed, dis-
persed and driven like sheep before a
superior force, my heart sunk within me.
I courted death, but it came not. I had
no power to check the torrent that was
rushing past inc. I had given up all for
lost. I was careless of the consequences
in regard to myself. I did not care to
witness the horrible hatchery which
would follow when our troops were bad-
dled and joined together on the bank of
the river—but when I beheld Gen. Hook-
er’s countenance, my hopes revived. I
knew from that instant we were safe, he
had the power and he was in a condition
to use it. Never in my life did I experi -
once such a change of feeling as the sight
of him inspired. Twice I raised my
cap to cheer him bqu restrained myself
and expressed my joy in silent praise and
thanksgving to God. Gen. Devens and
about 20 wounded officers and men were
in the ambulance and I was obliged to
take them over the river. I started off
with a light heart. I had not proceeded
far when I met the troops returning, the
panic was over and I knew that those
who returned, would redeem their credit
before they quitted the field again. Those
who caused the panic were soon as far
from danger as their legs would take
them—their absence was not missed.

A Great Salt Mine.
Capt. Davis Hatch of Norwalk, arriv-
ed here a short time since from the West
Indies. He has been the most of the
past winter in the east end of the island
Of St. Domingo, formerly known as the
Republic of Dominico, now under the
Spanish Government. His object in go-
ing out was to examine the great Salt
Mines in the province of Azua, about
80 miles to the West of the city of St.
Domingo, and if finding them as repre-
sented to petition the Spanish Govern-
ment for a grant of the mines, and also
the privilege of a railroad, or other mode
of transportation, to a seaport from
whence the products of the mines could
be exported. Afters thorough exami-
nation of the mines, Capt. H. found
them more extensive than represented,
and very e to be worked. There is a
mountain D‘s- twelve miles long, about
one and :1 ha f wide, and about four buir-
drcd feet high, which is a solid-mass of
pure rock salt, samples of which the cap-
tain has brought home with him. There
is a coating of earth over the surfabe of
the salt bed, varying from 5 to 10 feet
in thickness on the tOp, and somewhat
thicker at the base. From the examina
tions made, it is evident the mines extend
far below the surface of the earth. In
excavating ,he salt, they frequently come
across solid clirystal (like samples shown
us)10 or'12 inches square, as clear as
ice. Being satisfied of the value and im-
portance of the mines, Capt. Hatch pas~
sed a week in surveying the country
around them, and from thence to the sea-
board—From the east end of the Salt
Mountain to the safe and commodius bar-
bor Of Barahona, the distance is about
24 miles, through a perfectly level coun-
try, rich soil, and very heavily timbered
with the most durable wood. But one
bridge is required the whole distance, and
that over a narrow river.
Returning to St Domingo, Capt:
Hatch Obtained agrunt from the Gov.
for working the mines, and the exclusive
privilege for a railroad from the mines to
the port of Baruhona, for the term of‘99
years, and allowing all the material re-
quired for the construction and working
of the road to be brought in free of duty
together with many other privileges—
the Government receiving in compensa-
tion half a cent per bushel on the salt ex-
pOrted—tbe right of way, with all the
timber required to be free.
Capt. Hatch brought home many in-
teresting relics and views taken in the ci-
ty of St.’ Domingo, bearing upon the his-
tory of Columbus. The views include,—
the little rude altar which he built when
hefirst landed, and before which be war
shipped in the open air; the house he
built and occupied, with his son Diego
Solon; and the great Cathedral where
his remains were taken in 1536—30 years
after his death, and deposited in the hall
on the right hand side of the great high
altar. In 1795, when the islalid was ce-
ded to the French, the remains were re-
moved to Havana. This Cathedral was
26 years in building, and cost over $2.
000,000. It is 200 feet long and 150
feet wide at the cross. Ibis now in it
very perfect state of preservation.
