The rising sun, touching with golden fire the dew drops still sparkling upon the bosom of a verdant plain, beheld a glorious scene. The battlefield at Mansura was a beautiful prairie several miles in extent, fringed with a heavy timber. To the front and partially concealed by the woods lay the enemy in force. To the left, advancing across the open field were the skirmishers of the 19th Corps, running, kneeling, firing, tak- ing advantage of the slightest protection, flitting like birds in searc...h of prey. Behind them followed the heavy columns of the 19th Corps in line of battle and back of them again those of the 13th Corps. On the right were the once derided, ragged and rugged veterans of Sherman. Everywhere ban- ners were waving, resplendent in the sunlight. The advance of Smith and Mower changed from column of regiments to an echelon and from that to line of battle. Four batteries of heavy guns opening fire upon Smith and Mower fully re- vealed the enemy's position and was seemingly the signal for the 19th Corps to halt, for the work from now on was left to Sherman's men.
