It was a magnificent sight and was bravely done. They moved steadily forward even as we had done at Donelson. They were met by discharge after discharge of mus- ketry from Oglesby's men; the can- non in front poured its shrieking shells among them; our brigade un- der Hackleman poured a flanking fire upon them when they were near enough for us to reach them, but notwithstanding the deadly fire on their front and the enfilading fire from our batteries they pushed their way with great determinati...on until they had driven Oglesby from his position on uie hill and caused our entire line on that part of the field to fall back and change its front. This temporary success was not at- tained, however, until after the gal- lant Oglesby had been severely wounded and many of his men had fallen. Our new line was formed on a ridge in the timber, where there was a heavy growth of brush, under cover of which both sides were part- ly concealed. Very soon they open- ed on us with an energetic fire from their batteries, to which our people responded with equal vigor.
