JOTTINGS.
Oat in Oklahoma, the Judge
who was trying a man for
drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, was found "guilty of
the offense charged against the
defendant," by the jury, com
posed of the best men in the
town, and the costs assessed
against him, and since the de
fendant has had the Judge ar
rested. Oklahoma is entitled
to Statehood.

PART ill.
In consequence of the obstruc
tions in the way the ?th regiment
had lapped the M a few paces, and
when they reached the cover of the
stony hill I halted the line at the
margin of the road for a moment
and ordered the 7th to move bv the
right flank to uncover the .'11 'regi
ment, which was promptly done. It
was no doubt this movement, which
was observed by some one from the
left, that led ro the fatal blunder
which cost so dearly.
The moment the line was rectified
the 5th and 7th and 3d regiments
advanced into the wood and occu
pied the stocy hill, the left of the
3d regiment swinging around and
attacking the battery to the left of
that position, which, for the reasons
already otated, had already reserved
their fire. Very soon a teary col
umn moyed :n two lines of battle
across the wheat field to attack mv
position in such manner as lo take
the 7th regiment in flank on the
right. The right wing of this regi
ment was then thrown back to meet
r his attack under the command of
Lieut Col Bland. I then hunted in
person to Gen Semmes, then 150
yards in my right rear, to bring him
up to meet the attack on my right,
and also to bring forward my right
regiment, the 15th, comiinoided by
Col. V. U. DeSaussure, which sepa
rated from t he brigade by the artil
lery at the time of the advance, was
our off bv Se mine's brigade. Its gal

He fell some pact-s in front of the
line, with sword drawn leading the
advance.
Gen Semmes promptly responded
to my call and put his brigade in
motion towards the right, prepara
tory to moving to the front. While
his troops were moving he fell mor
tally wounded. Returning to the
7th regiment I reached it just as
the advancing column of Federals
had arrived at a point some two hun
dred yards off, whence thev poured
into us a vollev from their whole
line and advanced to the charge.
