In solid columns. Our either were charged ; some of

lara of the attack and its wonderful success for a short
time bewildered the troop. At this time a bold °1
was made by the enemy, under cover of the guOl.l,lC
eaptere our artillery. In a measure this charge was
successful, though it was resisted with great rigour. In
the cheer the Confederates took one or two pieces of
