'TTI* BATTLE OF YELLOW BAYOU, The right of the Uulon army rested r.n the south bank of Yellow Ba?oii« and thenoe the Union line extended south and south east. The left appear­ ed to lie thrown back somewhat, and wto-ng near the le^ft center was a belt of thick wtiods, Fhfehep of swamp ]anri were also In th» neighborhood of our lea wing. Thefft was Yery tall, wild grass and till rubs, over nearly the whole lleldi "®n our extreme right was a $plen.1id public road or pike built by Government aid soon alter Louisiana was purchased #om Fiance. 1 had oc> casfon to know but little of the true Kltintlon, e*(f'i>t as above stated. 1 Aid. i*» fact, kuow more of the position and disposltlone of the rebel forces, as up to the very eve of battle we had been skirmishing in woodland and plain, in the wet lowlands *nd along the rolling prairie; Out occasional glimpses of the rebel forces were suf- ticiettt to enable us with reasonable ac­ curacy to estlmat|» their strength; and iipun the re port of our officers the Uilion General eltade his dispositions for the battle. In the outset of the contest my regiment was divided, a part serving as a sort of decoy to pro­ voke the Confederates 'on to a masked battery, The object hoped for was ac­ complished; but the detachment was cruelly punished * They remained too long at their hararduus post of duty. Company D with eight tuen hud fottr shot dead. A littta later the remnants of the regiment were united, and dis­ mounting took position on the extreme right of the Union line. It was no*v ut ter 3 p. m., and we that had for many hours been as bu^yyas honey bees in June, now rested on our arms a few moments. Anxiety, that is usually on such occasions plainly manifest in every face,had uo visible trace ln that rjiggecJ t-quad. Every soldier cleaviy. compre­ hended the situation.and 1 believe that every heart beat with but one rqsolv^, vi*., that riur regiment should uot.be. lite first to yiehl. Six of' ns grasped haiuls, there, above the bodies of ottr dead, und swore - ^iVtr if defeated we would„,sel| "11[ Ijjmj' |- 4eirlf>.f» possi­ ble; that tm'timer Riiy>*imim^t«i|ceV would **e Kurreuder to tiie rebels. An approving res|H»nse came from the skeletons about lis. The old fliag bowed a graceful salute, and our right arms grew stronger. As we carefully fixed our alignment, and wiped away the poipdet- stains we listened to the grum­ ble and roarof a,'desultory conflict, far away to the lift. Just then a spattering of bullets threw the dirt about us. These shot* came trout the brush over the Bayou. The rebels were, perhaps, 100 yards from us and up stream, very near the'Bayou, On our side of tile stream were two blacksmith shops, not more than eight rods from the Johnles. Another handful of bullets, and ope of our boys received a mortal hurt. Not a reb could be seen. 1 at once, with a half dozen sharp shooters, occupied the two blacksmith shops, building breast­ works from blocks and anvils. Oue of the moat entertaining ten minutes of a busy life was put in here. The Confed­ erates hauled off, and we returned to bur places In line, having lost one uian, sliot iu the head. To the left ol us wa* it remnant of wiuit once wss a plank fence. The planks, about 8 feet long, were set tip straight and spiked on two rAiift. The posts had been set close and strong, and ..the fence was in its best days nearly Impregnable to musket halls. But neglect ami decay, and the military necessity of smashing things generally, had combined, rendered the fence an unsightly obstruction, 4hat only served, to hide from our view a pait of thte battlefield. The baflle was now fairly on. There was an indescrib­ ably tremor of the gronnd, and the echoes arose and fell with that emphat­ ic. positive thrill that old isldiers will recall so well. The decisive moment was close at hand. A look with a field glass! They are coining. The rebels have massed their pieked divisions and are about to strike near the center of the Union line. On they come. Our boys close up, and lie do#ii in the tail grim. The harvest of deatli is Open­ ing. The green grass and the beautiful flowers must now reek with the blond of brave men who are waiting here. With superb courage the dark mass of Confederates bear down to the gate of death. They know, by dear experience of the past, that the struggle for the mastery of this field will be of a most obstinate and deadly nature. Let no mau speak lightly of the quality of au enemy that uiider such circumstances could move On in perfect array, shoul­ der to shoulder and knee to knee. For a brief time the firing had almost ceased. The battle smoke lifted and rolled southeast, in changing wreaths of gold :uid purple. The left was figiit- Ifig tindet * cloud, while the right and • i.e w%a gt4H, I clung to the old fence and watcli'-d the waves of life moving to the onset* 1 hey are fast nearing a dead line, and they know it. I can count 21 Confederate battle flags. A shudder--a roar--a sway of the earth --a wild flash and tremendous .crash ot tuusketry I The for<*« are i» voutact. Hew ttie earth itself seems to shrhtki from tlte aw/uj carnage. The flame and- smoke,• lurermIitgilug,' tfoii into and against wave upon wave,1n quick suc­ cession. Fifty cannons are straining every pontiff uf their met^l. Hark! a eheer, faint at first. Now U . perils trl- umpliant above the battle din.. The Confederates recoil, worsted in the fight. Later they attempt to turn to the flanks, and every last matt seems to be engaged. Our time hae eome. This grand charge was preceded by a mighty cannonade. The efirth was plowed and gullied, fences obliterated And men and horses torn asunder. This shock came with even more desperate inonionttutn than the first. Everything was at stake. Ev^rv gun and every soldier was in the struggle. I will make oo efTort te de­ scribe tltis closing scene. The Confed­ erates were defeated at all points They were broken and routed. Wesoen afterwards learned,on good authority* that they werfi three days In eollecting the broken detachments of tlieir army. Had we followed them they probably would have never again offered battle. But we were roughly used. I will not picture the ghastly field in possession of the victors, nor attempt further to note incidents of this battle, nor the blood curling incidents ami scenes con­ nected witlf caring for the wounded and burying the dead. My regiment that in the early morning mustered ninety- three men for duty had been reduced by exhaustion, wounds and death, to thirteen; and -of this number several could not speak aloud, The next day I weighed 92 pounds.

The time has come when this tiiust cease, and the practice be totally broken up. Fair warning is now yiveu that exam­ iners will be held to a strict account­ ability ill at uo second call is made tor the same evidence, except iu cases Where It. Is certain that the claimant has not received the first, ancj that no second call is made for evidence which has been shown by claimant to be un­ obtainable. Whenever a call is made for any evidence i,t nimt include all that is required to settle the case, and if any evidence iw In. on any point, but in the opinion of the examiner more is required owing 'to its insufficiency, he must state in the new call what evi­ dence has been received and wherein it is Insufficient. Let there be no misunderstanding on this point; and hereafter let-this non­ sense of senseless and repealed calls cease, and get down io business, apply­ ing to the examination of claims for per,slon the sutm^ common sense and practical rules that tire, by sensible men,.applied tq all liljids of hilsiueg.

Sergeant Mason Is represented to feel great satisfaction at the arrangement, and Witloughby, Hill <& Co. fraukly express tjielr delight at securing a good advertisement, by provtdiug decent support for an tin- fortunate man.

We think Mason will be worth money to us, and we'are will- lug he should nave some of the money. It is a perfectly legitimate business transaction. We believe that a man so popular ns Mason should be in Chicago.
