The day of arrival is yet uncertain, but
there is ecarcely a probability that it can be
this week, as there are a number of regi

advance of the 135th. Wo hope the boys I
may not be detained beyond the middle of
next week, though we barn no resort for
fixing that limit.
On Saturday at noon Capt. Erisman un

The services of the 135th in the late move

formed part of the extreme left, and were
intended to have shared with Sedgwiek the
attack on Frederictsborg; but on the defeat
of the 11th corps by Jackson, Reynolds' IA

occurred their severest service—a forced
march of over thirty miles in one day. This
and subsequent eXpostire and picket duty on

Ilk.: a Sr.:—having again became settled
in camp, after having participated freely in
the last battle of Fredericksburg, I will en•
dearer to give you an aceount of the fight,
and the movements of the regiment. Hay
ing but one Corps, (the Gth) under command
of Gen. Sedgwiek, in front of and below the
1 city en duty, the important task of storming
and. hiking the bights, and forcing our way
to form a junction with the forces under
Gen. Hooker was assigned it. The result
of the fight you know better than I; but as
I have designed an account of the move
ments of the Regt. I am WWI leringfroat the
r subject.
Having on the 27th of April returned from
"Picket . ' along the river, and found the
ever-wele.)me Paymaster in camp, we antic
ipated n good time (and the Sutlers were
"pror.cting" also). On the 28th we were
ordered to break camp, and with eight days'
rations, five in knapsack and three in hay
resack. we formed the Regt. about half-past
ono o'clock I'. M., and marched (around
" R d,in Mode barn") some nine miles,
I when the distance to the river was but two
• and a half miles. The Division to which
/ we are attached was assigned the duty of
carrying the pontoons some half mile to the
'river. Oar Regt. was the first to launch its
boats, the third to start—We formed line of
battle along the river, and remained on the
' north side, until the night of Saturday May
2nd, when we crossed the river, at the place
known as Barnard's Farm, and marched up
towards the City. Then, near the outskirts,
we marched back of it, and passing the Rail
road Depit proceeded. out towards the noted
"Stone Wall" fiat. We lay directly in front
of it until daylight, the balance of the Brig
ado being need for acme other positi m.—
Having received orders to feel the enemy
we deployed five companies as akirmi.hers.
Our skirmishers advanced steadily and when
within about fifty yards of the ride pits, the
enemy opened a terrific fire upon them,
compelling them to fall back under cover in
the ravine in which the reserve *as posted.
Having performed all that was required
we were reinforced by troops of another
Brigade, and our artillery having arrived
and taken position, opened upon the work.
About eleven o'clock the sth Wisconsin
Regt. supported by the 6th Maine. 3 let i
Sew York and the 23rd charged the works,
and in a very few minutes after were in I
possession. To the sth Wisconsin belongs
the credit of planting the stars and stripes
upon the fort, and to the 23rd. on the heights
beyond. We were the first Regt. "in line"
no the heights. Having overcome this form '
idable obstacle, and struck terror into the
enemy, we pushed- forward to a succession
of victories ore them, wherever they were
disposed to shove fight, until near sunset
when having fOrreed in a dense pine woods
they checked our progress fur the day. We
lay on our arms all night, supporting a bat
tery of artillery. In the morning we were
again in front as skirmishers. Having ad
vaticH as far as ordered, Gen. SedgWick
was compelled to restrain his impetuous
nature, and we lay very quiet until about
four o'clock P. M., when the enemy made
a demonstration on the Left wing of the
Corps resting on the City. soon the centre
was engaged, end it Was discovered that the
enemy in force wascutting two roads through
a dense woods to throw a force upon our
right—at this time intelligence of the fall
ing back of Gen. Hooker's army was receiv
ed, and as we were almost entirely surround
ed, the noblekth Corps was compelled to
retreat towards the rivet, and re-cross at
Banks' Ford. On this fall-back, which was
performed in haste, though good order, pont
little friend Geo. W. Wike, was compelled
to leave his companions, from exhaustion.
All was done that could be to keep him with
us, but no use. We know he is not wound
ed, and jud,gs he has taken a summer trip
to Belle Island. His absence grieves us all,
as he was a general favorite ; end always
welcome. When we shall see hid, depends
upon the War Department. Let us, how
ever, have your valued sheet through some
other of the " Boys," as it has become an
institution in Co. I. Wike is the only one
missing from the Company. The Regiment
lost 4 killed, IS wounded, 40 mising-62 in
all. Some of the missing ones have already
"turned up" and others may, but, as it is,
our loss exceeds fifty. The b)ys are in good
spirits, but do not like the idea of fighting
with eight days' rations on their backs like
"Pack Mules"—it is too much for warm
weather. Yours " Co. I."

How Jackson was wounded—His Suffer
ings and Dacth —All the Particulars.
General Jackson, having gone some dis
tance in-front of the line of skirmishers on
Saturday evening, was returning about
eight o'clock, attended by his staff and part
cf his courier•. The cavalcade was, in the
darknees of the night, mistaken for a body
of the enemy's cavalry, and fired upon by a
regiment of his own corps. Ile was struck
by three balls, one through the left arm, two
inches below the shoulder joint, shattering
the bone and severing the chief artery;
another ball passed through the same arm,
between the elbow and wrist, making its
exit through tho palm of the hand; a third
ball entered the palm of the right band about
its middle, passed through and broke two
bones. He was wounded on the plank road,
about fifty yards in advance of the enemy,
fle fell from his horse, and was caught by
Cap•. Wormley, to whom he remarked, "all
my wounds are by my own men." He bad
given orders to fire at anything coming up
the road, before he left the lines. The ene
my's skirmishers appeared ahead of him,
and he turned to ride b.tek. Just then some
me cried out, "Cavalry, charge:" and im
mediately rho regiment fired. The whole
party broke forward to ride through our
line to escape the fire. Captain Boswell
was killed, and carried through the line by
his horse, and fell among our own men.
Colonel Couchfield, Chief of Staff, was
wounded by his side. Two couriers were
killed. Major Pendleton, Lients. Morrison
and Smith escaped uninjured. Gen. Jack
son was immediately placed on a litter, and
started for the roar. The , firing attracted
the attention of the enemy, and was resumed
by both lines. One litter bearer was sbot
down, and the General ft4l from the 4mul-

ders of the men, receiving aserere contusion
adding to the injury of the arm, atiltinjur
ing his side severely.
The enemy's fire of artillery upon this
point was terrible. Gen. Jackson was left
for five minutes, until the fire slackened,
then placed in nn ambulance, and carried to
the field hospital at Wilderness 8.111 b.- li e
lost a large amount of blood, and at one time
told Dr. McGuire he thought he was dying,
and would have bled to death, but a tourni
quet was immediately applied. ifor two
h tars he was nearly pulseless from the
shock. As Ile was being carried from' the
field, frequent inquiries were made by the
soldiers, "Who have you there?" He told
the doctor, "don't tell the troops I'm
wounded."
After the reaction a consultation was held
betweet Drs. Mack, C.deman, Wells and
McGuire, and amputation was decided upon .
He was asked, "IF we find amputation ne
cessary, shall it be dr,.s at once?" lie re
plied, "Yes, certainly, Ar. McGuire—d u far
me whatever you think is right." The op ,
oration was performed while he was under
the influence of chloroform, and was borne
well. Ile slept on Sunday morning, was
cheerful, and in every way was doing well.
Ile sent for Mrs. Jackson, asked minutely
about the battle, spoke cheerfully of the re
sult, and said, "If I had not been wounded
or had an hour more of daylight, I would
have cut off tho enemy from the romi to the
United :itates Ford, and we would have had
them entirely surrounded, and they would
have been obliged to surrender, or cut their
way out. They had no other alternative.—
My troops sometimes may fail in driving
the enemy from a position, but the enemy
always fail to drive my men from a posi
tion." This was said smilingly. lie com
plained this day of the fall from the litter,
although no contusion or abrasion was ap
parent as the result of the fall. He did net
complain cf his wounds; never spoke of
them unless asked. On Sunday evening he
slept well. On Monday he was carried to
Chancellor's.house, near Guernesedepot.--:
lie was cheerful; talked about the battle,
gallant bearing of Gen. Rhodos, and said
that his Major General's commission °Wt . t
to date from Saturday; the grand odkarge'oc:
his old Stonewall brigade, of which he he 4
heard; asked after all his officers; durioe
the day talked more than usual, and said ;
"Men who live through this war will be
proud to say, 'I was one of the Stonewall
brigade,' to their children." lie insisted
that the term Stonewall belonged to them,
and not to him.
During the ride to Guerness ho complain

be applied to his stomach, which was done,
greatly to his relief; as be expressed it. Ho
slept well on Monday night, and ate with
relish next morning. On Tuesday his
wounds were doing well. He asked "Can
you tell me from the appearance of m'
wounds, how long I wig be kept from the
field!" He was greatly satisfied when told
they were doing remarkably well. lle did •
not complain of any pain in his side, and
wanted to see the members of his staff •but
