FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE BAT

On the arrival of the other divisions of the army at the encampment of Gen. Twiggs, on the l6th of April, Gen. Sco;;, after talk ing reconnaissance of the enemy's works, determined to storm them. The position occupied by the enemy was regarded by them as impregnable, and sraiy, to any other thaa American soldiers i; must have appeared an insurmouniable and impaciicable under taking to carry II by storm. or turn il by strategy.

This ridge is the commencement of the Terra T'am- plado, the upper og mountainous county. The high and rocky ravine Of the river pro- tected the right flank of the position, and a series of most abrup, and apparently impas- sable mountains and ridges covered their Jeff.

But the enemy expected such an a.. tack, coasding in the desperate valcr of oul men. and believing that 1t was impossible to turn their position 10 the right or left Gen.
