Fitch's battery in rear of the redos, when our troops having been sufficiently withdrawn, Col.

nnot give you the names of the crew, as they deserve especial notice. We glide along smoothly, until 8.20 P. M., when we pass Fort Harris, only six miles above Memphis. The night is clear and mild, and pale Cynthia beams out in all her glory. All eyes and glasses are closely observing both shores, in the vicinity of Paddy's Hen and chickens --a cluster of islands — and on the look-out for the first glimpse of Memphis. There's Memphis! Don't you see the lights on the Bluff? says First Master Bates, who is on watch. Sure enough, the lights are visible; we are before Memphis at 8.45 P. M., only four miles above the city.

It was during this brief period of less than one half hour — from five to half-past 5 o'clock--that the greater portion of the casualties occured.

Doyle and Lewis and Lieut. Bates, commanding companies, were wounded on or near the parapet of the work. My Aid-de-Camp, Lieut. Lyons, who led the storming party, and the first man to cross the ditch, was severely wounded on the berme of the work, and was obliged to retire. Of twenty-two officers of that regiment who went into action, twelve were killed and wounded. Seeing that without supports and re-forming the line it was useless to continue the contest, I ordered the troops to be so formed on the hedge nearest t
