Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
New Years was spent in quietness with the exception of slight skirmishing in front. The next day a most desperate struggle ensued on the left. The rebels were driven back, and routed with terrible loss. This was a splendid victory, and richly repaid us for the disgraceful defeat of our right wing. When the news was brought to the center the air was filled with deafening cheers from the troops, while there might have been seen a little band of men standing bravely at their posts by the guns, headed by Colonel Loomis, with hearts overflowing with gratitude, giving seven and a tiger' for Michigan and the Federal army.
