Antonio, win MS DIVISION Lney nhu nearly
welcome, and one of them proposed that their com
,nands should go hand in hand in carrying the
work, which was readily agreed to.
AT the same time that the other commands were
despatched, Gen Scott ordered Gen. Shields to at
tick the edernys extreme left, where he was
heavily entrenched; ut the same time reinforcing
his command with the 10Th, part of the 18th and
18Th infantry, under Gen. Pierce. This move
ment WAS executed as soon as the nature of The
ground would admit-the whole command hav'
ing TO pass through corn fields Of high growth,
intercepted by dlches running through them in
every direction.
The action now became general, and the severi.
" of the conflict never equalled within the recol:
lection of our oldest SoIdiers-lhe enemy was
more than three times our number, besides his
ad dvanlage of artillery and position-addcd to this
he was stimulated by the fact that it was the last
cf1o,t of resistance he could make, before we could
enter the capital-his troops knew that they were
fighting for the last remnant Of the Republic, and
they stood their ground with as much hrmness
and resolution as any troops could stand, before
the army we at present have here The roar ol
musketry was so great that it was almost impossi
bIe for the soldiers to hear the orders of their Off
GERS. There was no point at which the action did
not rage with severity for more than two hours
which is proven by the fact that our loss at this
point was nearly 1000 men.
After the contest had lasted about two hours
our troops had got into such position as to be
able to close with them at the point of the bayonet
which decided the affair in our flvor-Gen Pill

road, by On officer of Gen. Pillows division, tax
ing down one flag, and one Of Gen. Worh's taking
down the other, and the 9th infantry planting
their colors instead. Gen. Twiges's division car
rving the work it attacked at the church, Capt.
NJ Smith, of the Sd infantry, received the surren
der of the work, with seven pieces Of artillery
two stand of colors, Gen. Rincou, together with
1o4 officers and upwards Of 90 non-commission
ed officers and privatrs, surrendered as prisoners
as war; Gen. Shields had his work more to him
sell, and be fully sustained that high reputation
hitherto acquired on the field Of battle. Whcr
the contest tagged highest and his men were falling
around him IN every direction, be preserved tha
even temperament Of mind for which he is 81
