on the part of the rebels. Fur un hour it was

right wing turned their left, giving 11 turn to
Iho tide of battle thut soon operated greatly
in our favor. Tho rebels fell hack into

Hero again was the battle continued with
redoubled vigor, now one side, nnd now
another giving way. Our troops fought with
Iho coolness of veterans, nnd tho desperation nf
devils. I would not diminish the gallantry of
our own troops, by saying that tho enemy did
not fight bravely und well they did both.
An exact statement of the varying fortunes of
iho field for the three or four hours (allowing
Iho first nttnek, It Is Impossible Just now to
piesent.1" Suffice it to say, our troops fought,
and not only fought well, fought courageous')',
but fought coolly and scientifically. In the
thickest of Iho fight, when tho officers had to
remove the dead bodies of the men, nt every
one of Hie backward wheels, regiments coolly
performed manauvrw which Scott in Ids
tactics pronounces impossible to be snado on
I ho battle field. The battle, for tho most part,
was fought In n forest, with n thick under,
growth beneath, nnd tho regiments acted
mostly on tho principle of hitting a head
wherever it could be found. Snarmlug on nil
sides of tlicsn, they wero not ut a loss to find
thesis.
TIIK SI.ACUIITKIt.
One regiment was only driven from before
Ihem. whl'o another sprung up to tuko Its
place, and there Is hardly a regiment of our
(orco engaged but was apposed to Iriplo Its
numbers. Thus went tlio tide of battle for
livo hours now gaining n little, but, upon the
whole, Ihey were obliged to retire. Officers
nud nun dropped upon all sides. Field offi
cers were borne, killed and wounded, from the
field, and their next in command coolly look

Colonel White, of tho Hist; Lliut. Colonel
Smith, of the -18th s Lieut. Colonel Irwin, of
