c, Lieut.. Woodward, afterwards joined by Capt.
Pease; Company G, Capt. Briley Company II,
Capt Mazlett-total 275 men.
On turning the curve within quarter of a mile
of Vienna, we were fired upon byr akinc batteries
of q think three guns, with she'll, round shot and
grape, killing and wounding the men on the plat
forms and in the cars. When the train stopped, we
could not, on account of damage to some part of
the running machinery, draw the train out of the
fire, the engine being in the rear. We left the cars
and retired to the right and lett of the train through
the woods.
Finding that the enemies batteries were sus-
tanned by what appeared to be regiment of in
iantry and cavalry, which force We have since I'M
derstood to be 500 South Carolina troops, we fell
back on the railroad, throwing out skirmishers on

Fairfax Court House, four miles from Vienna is
now about 1000.
When all the enemy's batteries opened upon us.
Maj Iuehcy was at his station the foremost
platform-car. Col MtCoop was with me in one of
the passenger cars. Both these officers, with others
of the commissioned Offices, and MANY of the
men, behaved most cody under this calling FIRE,
which we could not return, and from batteries
which We could not flank or turn. from the nature
OF the ground.
The approach to Vienna is through deep cut
in the railroad. In leaving the cars, and before
they could rally, many of my men lost their haver
sacks and blankets, but brought off all their mus
kets except, it may bc, few that were DESTROYED
by the enemy's first fire, or lost with the killed.
