onfederate battalion, and a field battery. On the same day the following telegram was dispatched to General Johnston. The troops sent you were taken from Port Hudson; a brigade under Brigadier-General Buford, aggregate present four thousand and sixty-five. The enemy has nine boats between Vicksburg and Port Hudson. He has land forces at New Carthage, from Grant's army, and can reinforce them to any extent; he can use his nine boats to cross his troops to this side.

I ought to have back Buford's brigade; certainly no more troops should leave this department. A dispatch from Brigadier-General Chalmers, yesterday, says, sixty-four boats left Memphis since Thursday, loaded with soldiers and negroes, ostensibly to assault Vicksburg.

Then, without orders, the troops, eager to wipe out the memory of Chickamauga, pressed gallantly on up the ridge, heedless of the deadly fire belched into their very faces, and overran the works at the summit like a torrent, capturing thirty-five guns and prisoners wholesale. As this photograph was taken, some of the Confederate prisoners were standing at the railroa
