Interesting Details and Incidents
The scene on all the roads leading to the Long
Bridge, Yesterday, beggars description. Artillery
and isdntry were struggling along in the greatest
confusion the men completely broken down for
want of food and sleep, and by the fatigues of
long march. Regiments and companies were
mixed In in"xtricabIe confusion in most cases !;
bat occasionally column Of one, two, three or
four regiments would come along In perfect
order. stragg lers were stopped in Fort RunyOn
for some time, and at that point the scene was
painful The men came in jadsd and tired, and
sitting or living down IN the peltIng rain, only
protected by blankets oilcloths were fast asleep
In momrnt after assuming a recumbent pos tion.
Many Of the .rmy officers and artillcry:nen would
fall asleep their horses. The want of food was
almost forgotten, although menv Of the men had
been fasting for twenty -four hours. Lieutenant
Watson, Of the cOmmissary department, distribu-
t. d large quantity Of provisions from the store
house in Fort Runyon 70 the furnishing troops
! throughout the day. Many wanted food, but
most only wanted shelter and to lie down. Many
laid down and went to sleep In the read For a
long time the approach 20 the Long Bridge was
jlmmed by omhulances with the wounded, army
wagons, artillery wagons, &c. Two secession
prisoners Were put in a wagon and brought to the
ely they incensed the troops very much by their
mrrrinie at the confusion which for short time
prevailed.
The 18Th New York Regiment, Col. Quimtv
left the field and came on in perfect order.
Capt. Ayers brought in his battery formerly
Sherman's) without the loss of a gun He Lost
some OF his caissons In consequence Of some Of
the volunteers cutting the traces and riding the
horses of. Many Of the wagons were lost In the
same way
The enemy tried to flank US on the left, and II
they had done SO would perhaps have cut of the
the retreat Of our whole force, but Lieut. Green
VS. stationed there with his light battery of
rfed cannon, and perceiving their design got
into position, and the advance Of about
hundred emerged from tae woods be opened Gre
with canister aid nearly every man was swept
OF the field. Again they tried II with the same
result, and then tried cavalry, but the rapid firing
vas So destI uctive that they abandoned the de-
sign.

shot from under him while attempting to rally a
b 'dy Of troops cannon ball struck his horse
/ full In the breast, killing him instantly.
