We marched until twelve o'clock at night. We moved up near our troops which were establishing their lines around Vicksburg. CHAPTER X. On the 20th, our troops had had a hard Httle fight but were repulsed by the rebels, after they had charged up close to the strong rebel forts. On the 21st we moved up near our advance lines and on the 22nd a general charge all along the lines was ordered. Our regiment supported the 7th Kentucky. Several of our regiments in front had planted their flags on the re...bel forts and the destruction of men was horrible. The earth trembled under the powerful explosives. ]\Iany of our boys were slain in hand to hand fights. From some unknown cause, the rebel army in our front was reinforced and we were driven back with a heavy loss. The blame was laid to General McClernand, the commander of our 13th corps. He was superceded and I never heard of him after- wards. He was a fine looking general. Thus the name of the 13th corps was lost at Vicksburg. The nurses and wounded whom we had left at Champion Hill, had been captured but were paroled.
