Civil War-U.S.
Twenty-First Regiment Infantry
On Saturday night, the 3d inst., they made their final attack. Under the cover of the storm and darkness of that night, they thought to surprise us, but General Rosecrans, anticipating this, was prepared for them. He collected his batteries in a strong position, and concealed them behind a large body of troops. The rebels made a furious charge upon these, and our forces gave way to the batteries, when these grim dogs of war were let loose upon the rebels, and gnawed deep furrows with canister and grape, and shot and shell.
