The enemy has placed in
battery two parrot guns on
peninsula just opposite the
city, and with them annoys
us a good deal, having range
raking the streets; and is so
well protected by the levee
that we have been as yet
unable to silence him with
our heavy guns. the mor-
tars have fired compara-
tively few shots in the
last two or three days.
At night had a con-
siderable picket fight in
front of Cummings -- the
enemy brings in two reg-
iments and a section of
artillery, but we are suc-
cessful, and keep the line
contended for.
Brigadier General Alfred Cumming
