Justice to the Veterans.
The volunteers of the second levy of $00,000 men -being the 14the 15th, 16th, 17th leth, 19th, (now the 2d Artillery,) 20th, nud 21st regiments, appeal to the Legislature for an equalization of bounties. Their case demands consideration. They enlisted for three years, nobly, faithfully and in most cases uncomplainingly havo they borne hardship and battle. They have had no opportunity to re-enlist for "large bonuties," while they received bounties not near so large as did the volunteers for nine monthis service.
They desire the Legislature to vote them a sum which shall make their wages proportionate to their services. They ask not as beggars, but as brave and manly soldiers who have deserved well of their country and done honor to their State. They ask only what they deem fair and just. We trust that their rightful elaim will not be overlooked, but will be promptly and fully satisfied.
The Veteran Flags.
IIon. Henry B. Harrison of New Haven, proposed in the House of Representatives a resolution direct- ing that the battle-torn and battle-hallowed dags of our brave regiments, be most sacredly and tenderly preserved and used only on public occasions of great solemnity or importance.
It was passed unanimously and heartily. The representatives of the people sincerely feel that theso war-scarred banners are priceless proof's of past and pledges of future valor and fidelity to the Republie.
The Veteran and his Rifle.
The veteran's rifle is his companion-his trusty frieud-almost as his right hand-a part of his be- ing. The veterau and his rifle might not be separa- ted. The Government should permit each to take home his own. It could devise no expression of high appreciation so appropriate and so gratifying to the gallant soblier. It is the cheapest method of storage and repair. It is the easiest and best modo of distribution for the future, because the Goveru- ment, in any sudden peril, will be sure to find vete- ran and ritle-still inseparable und just where both are most needed for the defense of the nation.

THE CONNECTICUT WAR RECORD.
[JUNE,
Williamsburg in heavy marching order, a per- formance by no means discreditable to raw recruits.
Being assigned to what was then known as the " Banks Expedition," it remained in camp nwait- ing transportation for several weeks, temporarily brigaded with the 23d, 24th, 26th and 28th Conn. Col. Bissell being in command of the post.
On the 29th of November, five companies, nn- der Colonel Bissell, embarked in the " Mary A.
. Boardman," and after a long and tempestuous voyage, touching at Tortugns, and Ship Island, arrived safely at their destination; disembarked at Baton Rouge, on the 17th of December, and participated in the capture of that place. The enemy evacuated the town under the fire of our gun-boats
In the early part of December, four more com- panies, Lieut. Col. Stevens commanding, sailed on the " Empire City," and landing at Carrollton, La., there went into eamp. Through some misun- derstanding at headquarters, they were not per- mitted to join the rest of the regiment at Baton Rouge.
The remaining company, together with a few stragglers, under Major St. John, reported at the Park Barracks, N. Y., by order Col. Almy, and finally embarked the 18th of December, on the " Merrimac." After a week's delay at Hilton Head, occasioned by the breaking of machinery, it reached Carrollton, where, with the few com- panies already arrived, it proceeded up the river, rejoining the headquarters the 10th of Jan., 1863.
During the two following months, the regiment remained in camp at Baton Rouge, but they were not months of idleness. Picket nnd outpost duty, systematic drilling and work on the defences of the place fully occupying the time. That portion of the field-works known as "Fort Paine," was constructed by it, as nlso several bridges, With battalion drill twice a day, and brigade drill once a week, the 25th soon acquired a proficiency which carned for it the reputation of being the best of the new regiments, and enused it fairly to compete with some of the veterans. For cleanliness of camp and excellent order, it was particularly noted, so much so, that it was the special subject of compliment by the Medien! Department, and Gen. Grover himself took oecn- sion to remark that " there was not another camp so well arranged in the whole Department of the Gulf."
The 25th was at first brigaded under Colonel, (now Brig .- Gen. ) Halbert E. Paine, 4th Wiseon- sin, but subsequently became a part of the Sd Brigade, 4th Division, consisting of the Isth Coun., 26th Mass., 25th Conn,, and 159th N. Y., comminnded by Col. (now Brig .- Gen ) Henry W. Birge, of the 13th Conu.
With the 10th of March, the field service of the regiment commenced. Colonel Bissell being ordered to proceed with his regiment, two com- panies of cavalry, and one section of artillery, to the Bayou Monte Snyno, a narrow stream, six niiles from Baton Rouge, hold both its banks, as well as two roads a mile apart, and cover the construction of a bridge preparatory to the gen- eral advance. This was happily accomplished with the loss of but one killed, Rockwell, of Co. 1.
On the 13th began the advance of what is
known as the first Port Hudson Expedition. Skirmishing slowly up to within a short distance of the enemy's works, lying on our arms the night of the 14th, while our gnu-boats went by, watching the l-lazing hull of the ill- fated " Mis- sissippi," as she floated slowly down the stream, nud on the 15th falling back to our old position on the Bayon Monte Sayno. Bivouacing for a few days on the banks of the Mississippi, the regiment returned to Baton Rouge.
Towards the close of March, Grover's Division left Baton Rouge, landing at Donaldsonville. Thence by a three day's march down the west bank of the La Fourche to Thibodaux, and thence by rail to Bayon Boeuf. There they went into camp for a few days, being the last time the 25th enjoyed the luxury of tents during the remainder of its term of service. Soon marching down to Brashear City, on the 11th they embarked on the "St. Marys." Sailing up through Berwick Bay and Grand Lake to a point near its junction with the Bayon Teche, a landing was effected carly on the morning of the 13th of April. The enemy offering but a slight resistance with a few pieces of light nrtillery.
After some skirmishing through the woods the rebels fell back across the Teche, setting tire to the bridge over which they passed, but by the strenuous exertions of the slaves on the adjacent plantations, and the rapid advance of the Union force, two of these were saved, and the Division crossing, bivonaeked for the night in line of bnt- tle. Before day-break, the morning of the 14th, the march was renewed, five companies of the 25th leading the advance as skirmishers. About sunrise the enemy was first descried, n few shots from n wood on the right of the skirmish line giving notice of their proximity. As the firing became more rapid, the skirmishers gradually swung round, fronting the woods, the rest of the regiment ndvaneing to their support. Then the 26th Me. was ordered up, and soon the whole Brigade was warmly engaged. It was the first time the 25th had been under fire, but it betrayed no signs of faltering; the men stood up to their work like veterans, incited by the noble example of their Col., who utterly regardless of his own safety, passed from end to end of the line, encour- aging and inciting them to deeds of bravery. Suddenly the enemy made a determined push for the two guns brought into action on the right. Pushing forward a heavy column of Texans under cover of some thick brush, they suddenly appear- ed on our flank. The guns at once limbered up nnd went to the rear under a cross fire of the severest kind, and the 25th, with five companies, still in skirmish line, was ordered to draw off, and umnask the @1st N. Y. in lino of battle behind them, and re-form in full line of battle-a forma- tion which, as it led as skirmishers it had not yet nssumed. This being done, the enemy were soon forced to nbandon the open field and take to the
Union forces under Gen. Weitzel on the other side of the Teche soon compelled them to blow up their gun-boats, nbandon their position and commenee a rapid retreat.
Thus ended the battle of Irish Bend. The 25th lost severely, as record of their killed and wounded chowe. Some of its bravest officers were placed hors de combat.
