[July 1, 1863.]
The mine was
successfully Exploded today damaging the enemy's works considerably &
killing & wounding a number of their men Six men were blown out on our side
of the defensive four of them killed one mortally wounded & one a negro
slightly hurt the seige guns a portion of Logans & Ransoms arty opened on
them with good effect as well as Ransoms Sharp shooters Ransom who was in a
position to see the inside of the works says the rebels must have lost a good
many men it has just been reported to me by Lt Branigan 1st infy in chg of 30
pdr parrotts that three rebel regts were seen crossing the bottom running towards
our right Shermans Command beyond the range of any of our guns except the 30
pdrs from which he fired as long as they could be seen . . .
P. S. The
