'lwihe course cif the same. night (that of
'the 11th) heavy batteries within easy ranges
were established. No. 1, on our right, un
der com irtailtydf,Capt Hill Drum,4th Mt/leery,
(relieved late next day, for, some bouts, by
Lieut. Aildrewt Of the 3d,) and No. 2, com
manded by Lieut. Flagnet,. ordnance—both
Isupported by Quitman's division. Nos. 3; &
4, on the opposite side, supported by Pillow's
division, were commanded, the former by
Captain Brooks ttud Lie:it; ti. 5«. Anderson,
2d ertillery, alternately, .and the 'latter by
LieUt. Stone, ordnance. The batteries were
traced oy Capt. Hugel and Capt. Lee, en
gineer, and constructeAftliem,, with the a
ble assistance of the young officers of , those
corps and the artillery.
To prepare for an assault, it was foreseen 1
that the play of the batteries might run intri,
thftecond day,' but recent captures had not
only trebled our siege pieces, bin alto our
ammunition; and - we knew that we • should
greatly augment botli, by carrying the place.
I was, therefore, in ,no haste hi ordering an
assault before the works wero well crippled
by our missies. -t..„
The bombardment and cannonade, under
the direction of Capt. Hager; were comities),
ced early in,tha morning, of the 12th. Before
nightfall, which necessarily stopped our bat
lades, we had perceived that a goodimpres

to the left, to intersect the great Western, or

gate of San Cosme.
Each of these routes:(ap elevated cause

and peat belghty resting on-open arches and
massive:pdlarsovhich, together,•aflord tine

At this junction of roads, we first passed
