There are, it- - „is said, quite. 'a number of 1
Union people about the place--I didn't have

we arrived about midnight, the feelings of
of the inhabitants were not hurt by the sight
of their horses, &c., joining the Union army.
From theAulet and. orderly.behayier of the
soldiers, no one would have' imagined that
there was 2500. of . them in the village.
There was no noise or conhision. : 'The hors

doubt the citizens were somewhat surprised
in the Morning to see the " Yanks" 'lying
round loose, in every fence corner and on the
pavements—as much at home and as coin
fortable as if they had never slept any place
else. There are at this place, two large and
very handsomely built, Female Seminaries.
Having had some - slight experience about
institutions of that kind, Capt. Roberts and
I anxiously inquired whether they permitted
"cousins". to visit the ladies, but we were
told that the schools were net in session.
Greatly disappointed we mounted our equally
sorry nags and rode after the column. To
day the 11th had the
_advance, the Advance
guard being under command of Lieut.
nich of our' place.. We rode very, leisurly
along, because as the Rebels already knew
we were coming, there was no use hurrying
to take theui. by surprize. The forage squads
had also more time to bring in,the captured
horses, and forage. The country is misera,
bly poor, and thinly populated with what in
the North would be considered candidates
for the Poor House. Gen. Ransom's bri
gade had been sent down from Petersburg to
.defend Weldon, and when we got 'within
'bout 30 miles of that place, his pickets and
scouts, sent out to report our movements, be
came pretty, numerous, and the advance guard
were 'kept busy charging on and capturing
them—sometimes but-one or two togethei—
, sometimes_ a dozen. Our'boys made thirteen
seperate 'charges during the ay, catchingl
.the rebels in every, dash. So successful wore ,
they, that at last when we came upon the
main body of the enemy, they were taken
entirely by surprise. In one of the charges
Lieut. Munich, while leading his men in .a
dash on 'a squad of Redels, wasthrown head
long by the stumbling of his horse, the ani-,
mal after doing some grand and lofty tumb
ling coming down ;heavily on the Lieut.
Fortunately,.the mud was very ; deeppna Ed:
was hauled out from under his horse without
any-more serious injury than a horriblegash
in his trousers. He rejoined the column in
a few moments with a rebel Lieutenant and
several men in tow. So we jogged on mak

might otherwise have given notice, ofour ap

them in the chase, but two or three that rode
ahead Were surprised to find themselves-sud
denly' inside a rebel breastwork, mid 1he„1
greybacks springing to arms. The surprise_
was mutual, and before the Rebs could get
into fighting trim our boys were 'on the'
"skedaddle." Gen. R. had escaped by the
skirts a his coat tails—and the gentlemen
who were se eager for his capture were ah

abreast. Oft either side was a swamp, ren
dered impassible by the depth of water and
thickness of the undergrowth. At' the fur
ther end a narrow bridge crossed' the stream
which ran between; the swamps, and at the
opposite side of the bridge the artillery and
infantry of the Rebels were posted. Two
field pieces well manned and firing graie and
canister, could halle prevented any - farce
from advancing by-the road The command
•was ordered up at a charge, and a squadron
-of the riflemen were ordered forward as skir
mishers. All the 'men were fn fine trim and'
eager for the fray, and they dashed doWn the
-road huzzaing and singing, r
"Let the Rebel cannon roar as they will,
We'll be gay and happy still."
It wad, a gallant charge ; They turned' the.
bend in the road when suddenly the roar Of
u32-pounder, accompanied by pieces, of smal
ler calibre, broke upon the air. Shell s Can
ister and grape filled the road-and ; whistled
among the trees. -In a few moments,, three,
of the gallant "Dodgers" : were killed, a num-'
her Of the 11th, and. several horses wounded.
It was evident that 'no cavalry in the World
could pass down the narrow road, as ; the
dead 'and wounded' horses' would in, a few
moments' block it 'up *entirely. The Only
hope was to dislodge them with artillery.
The-order was issued,- and in aifew' momenta

with interest. The wood was so dense that
'neither party could see even the flash of' 'the
Lotherl n guns, and with nothing butt the szirolce
rising above the trees to 'guide the 'fire, : it'
was, of course, all guess work and -only an
accidental shot could lie - effective. 'And now'

They "couldn't see it,"- and-took good care
not to follow us up. Before leaving Jack

stop at the hotel and eat the 'supper which
had been setout for Gen. Ransom and • staff. ,
It was plain fare—corn • bread, biscuits and

several horses had been taken frdm Franklin

but right that the rebs should fur'nish one
-for me, - and in a•-very few moments two were
brouefit, in for my use. I chose the best
looking, and soon found I had one of the
most rapid _travelers in the `command. '
At 8 A. M. we again, started, and tried
another road to Weldon, but found a bridge
burned and the road impassable, so we headed
• for Minfreboro again, and Passed. through
the town about 6 P. M. Alas for-the vera
city 'of the noble North Carolinian who• had
told us the Seminary was uninhabited. We
bad captured a mail, and found , among the
letters several from the " Institute," address
ed to "My Darling Charles,.'k "My Dear
Pa," ".My Own etc., evidently written
'by the.young lady boarders.
,Capt. 8., whoa
is a great ladies' man, accompanied by my
self, Who am not so - much so, rode to the
Seminary, which was about a mile from the'
town, andmiqing ourselves known, spent a
half-hour very pleasantly ; finding the ladies
good looking, inquisitive about the Yankee
soldiers, and altog,ther agreeable. After
-telling them to be careful that their future
love-letters did not fall into the hands of the
enemy, ,and receiving an, invitation 'to calf
again when the war is over, we took leave of
the blare; and rejoined the command just as
they Were encamping near the town.

night, 114ving been on the move a week.
Though rather tired and very muddy, I was
well pleased, with my experience and the re
sult of the, expedition. I stated at the outset
that I didn't know the object of it ;- I may
venture_the opinion that we accomplished all
that was expected. ,

,important railrolid bridge. , The place is
:strongly fortified, and this fact is'zivell known.
to the Union commanders: 'lt is of course
desirable that Abe bridge should be destroyed.
I think the object Of the movement was to
,liseertaitt eiknearly as possible the character
of the.fortifiCatioes, their locatiolaandat the
same time What force Would betedssary to
make the destruction of the bride- a matter
beyond peradventure,when the time arrived

fOrtruition, I am certain ; 'he is not the man

BARKS AND 'GRANT AT VICKSBURG.
The New.„.„OrlearuS Era gives an interesting
account of ae visit of Gen. Banks and staff
to Gen. Grant at Vickstirg. subjoin,
the following -extract
On Saturday morning we arrived atVicks
burg. ' Every eye was strained with intense
interest and curiosity as- the; spires •of that
homely town of bluffs loomed up before us.
Colonel Regan, of General Grant's staff, who
has recently visited this department and who
returned with our party; and Captain R. T.
Dunham, of Gen. )3anks' staff, proceeded to
the headquarters of• General Grant to inform
him of the arrival of General Banks. Gen
eral Grant, with some members of his staff,
immediately came on board our vessel, and
those of us who had never seen the hero of
-Vicksburg now had an opportunity to do so.
He is a quiet, unostentatious man; who looks
na more .like the generality of published
portraits than did Julius ()Tsar.
It Was a sight-of - historical, interest, and
one that deserves to be perpetuated in the
most enduring colors of. art, when General
Grant and General Banks,, the two • liberators
of .thellississippi, shook hands on the deck
of the Crescent, at the' foot 'Of th6se bind's
that were - but'recently frowning with deadly
guns, ready to hurl their destructive missiles
at any vessels bearing the stars and-' stripes
that would venture within their range.
What greater Victories for peaceful com
merce, for national unitY, , for human free
dom and the ri.ghts of man, were ever achiev
ed than these which enableq the Crescent to
steam up to the wharf of Vicksburg?_
After a brief interview'between the gener
als,_the party mounted their horses 'and rode
out to examine the. works of 'Vicksburg.
They are more extensive than those of Port
Hudson, but (we were assured by good judg , -*
es, and so it appeared to us) not so well con
structed. Beyond is a range of hills along
which a line of earth marked the position of
our troops. Often-we found high positionr,
which enabled our- artillery to. sweep the
enemy's works.* The approaches were in
several instances, partictilarly 'on General
McPherson's part Of the line. brought up:to
the very parapet, as ut Port Hudson.
SITETERICA'NEAN HIDING PLACES.
A curioui• feature in Vicksburg,' as it is
now seen, is the subterranean hiding places,
and even places. , o(business, formed by exca
vations in the precipitous bluffs that rise so
abruptly 011 41 sides as you pass alon g the
streets. These have been Aug out withnar- .
row and low entrances , leading.into narrow
streets, passes and rooms;'reminding• one of
the catacombs of Rome, wherelhe,relics of
many generations are united in the,repose of
the dead. Quite diffe,retit, howevet', was the
use of these - extavationsrfor they were pla
ces of safdty,for the inhabitants during those
many fearful hours and days when our fleet
was hurling ita missiles of,death and _destruc
tion._ into • the dtionted - city. 'Yea _can still
trace 'lmiizies.4 signs over some Of 'these en
trances; over one we could
rude
read
"barber's, shop," cut in' rude letters in the
earth',-and not yet washed away by the rain's.
How many frightened women and children
and old men have hurried to these subterra
nean, abodes, while the furious shell hissed
through the air, and there listened with ter
ror to thb fearful din of battle!
MISSISSIPPI GIVEN UP
MissiSsiPpi seems to have been - virtually
abandoned by the rebels; except a few guer
rilla bands, who commit depredations and
burn cotton fforn " patriotic "- inotives.
Tnere is, it is said,'a strong peace party; and
a seneral disposition to take the oath of alle
giance and come back into the Union on
Uncle Stim's bwri term's; but we are inclined
to think that this disposition is not as gener
al as some suppose. There is no doubt, ° how
ever, that the people are heartily tired of the
war. ' _ ,
, ELOQUENT'APPEAL.—The following is,an
extract from the address of Dr. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, before the Alumni of Harvard
College :
Yet again, 0 brothers ! this is not the,tiour
for sorrow. " Moth after month, until-the
months •beeaniOrears, we have cried to those
who stood •upon • our Walls : •!. Watchmen,

again and again: ‘!The dawn is breaking,—
