his head, leads on his trusty warriors. He knows what is coming, but he also knows the men he leads. Across the cornfield, the soft ground giving away un til men and horses sink at every step knee- deep; under a shower of canister, shell and Minie-balls filling every inch of the atmosphere and meeting them square in the face, they keep onward. The -works are gained; no faltering yet; and now goes up the flag of the Ninth
Minnesota on the works; simultaneously with it the flag of the veteran Fifth which has been shot down four times in this advance and riddled with a full charge of canister ascends; the works are carried in front of all the brigades of the division, and Minnesota holds the position in an unbroken line of half a mile in extent. Prisoners commence passing to the rear. First comes Capt. McGrew of the Fifth, a staff officer of Col. Hubbard's, with about a regiment of them; then we meet officers and enlisted men of all the regiments with squads larger than they can be supposed to take care of in all, the captures amounting to at least as many men as there were in the Second Brigade. The whole work a work that all military men who witnessed it agree in pronouncing a charge of scarcely equaled brilliancy in the annals of warfare was accomplished in ten minutes time. The enemy was completely routed and driven to the adjacent hills in utter confusion. Ten pieces of artillery of the first quality were captured, in addition to small arms and prisoners without number. Of the ten pieces four were taken by the Second Brigade. Minnesota gained more glory than the war had previously allowed her to gain. The gallantry of her officers and men is the theme of all tongues and pens.

Infantry. There were many things to think of at that time, and many things when writing my official report of it which excluded observation of numerous details, and of individual and regimental action. The memory of many I then noted, but did not recount, has been laid under twenty-seven years of strivings in the battle of life. The sunshine of young manhood has given place to the grayer lights of autumn, yet when digging down I find the events of the Fifth
Minnesota's work on the 4th come vividly before me. Colonel Mower had ordered the Fifth Minnesota to guard the bridge across the Tuscumbia on the 3d, when, with the remainder of the brigade, he went to help Davies. Late in the evening Colonel Hubbard brought up his regiment and formed facing westward on the Mobile & Ohio railway, with its left near the depot, where they bivouacked for the night. On the next morning, when the enemy from the north assaulted our line and forced it back a few hundred yards into the edge of town, Colonel Hubbard, moving by his right flank, faced the coming storm from that quarter, and, by his promptitude, anticipated General Stanley's order from me, to use the reserves of his division in meeting the enemy s charge. He drove back the fragments of his columns, overtaking and bringing back some pieces without horses of our reserve artillery, which the enemy had seized, and covering the retiring of a battery which had gone too far to the front. Veterans could hardly have acted more opportunely and effectively than did the gallant Fifth Minnesota on that occasion. God bless the members of the gallant Fifth and the land we love!

from their safety, attempting to exhaust the defenders of their low reserves of ammunition. The chief gathered the strength of his forces at the southwest corner, charged, and succeeded in capturing the stables. Sergeant McGrew wheeled his twelve-pound howitzer into position and fired into the stables, intentionally setting them ablaze. Dakota bowmen fired flame-tipped arrows onto the roofs of some buildings in retaliation, but the shingles were still wet from the previous day's rainfall and failed to catch fire. When attempting to rush the fort, Sergeant Jones managed to disperse the Dakota with close-range canister. An assault on the northwest corner was repelled that evening, which was discouraged by the burning of one of the buildings and combined artillery and infantry fire, including a 24-pounder cannon brought into action by Sgt. McGrew. No other attacks commenced after the 22nd, but the garrison remained until the 27th when
