besides small shells sYou, Howitzers, round

Our loss in this affair has been uncommonly
small, owing entirely to the great psns that
was taken by the different officers to keep their
men under cover ; as the enemy lett scarcely
ten feet of this garrison untouched.
The officers and soldiers through this whole

fatigue and loss of sleep, have manifested the
