fortified of tßagowley, tru the 22d inst. and to
• express. his entire satisfaction, at 'Abe- gallant conilut
alid-ze..al displayed by them on that occasion..; The
promptitude with which the troops proceeded-to al.?.
attack; the persevering toil with which they en=
countered opposing obstacles, the intrepidity With
which they ascended the bill under a most galling
fire, and, the 'steady courage they displayed in the;
assault' of so strong a position, and so obstinately deo
fe;tded,.are circumstances which Call' for the ruO4't
unqualified admiration:and praise. To Lieutenant,

under his command, could, nor, -from the nature` of
the assault, with the exception of the Gal
ropers, attached to his corps, under Lieutenant Bar-
low, be emplOyed -any further; than as a covering
Party to the assailants, still the-Cominanding Offi- •
