Dis eartened by this belief, they became resolute,
their fire sackened they wavered, and, in few nin-
utcs broke up their lines and slowly retired. AT the
time Col. Cook, having secured his wounded
also withdrew, his two thousand assailunts making no
attempt motion TO oppose his retreat
Thus, by a manly defiance our Ohio men preserved

that the shell and s-ler projecties bad inflicted only

blankets, all brought TO the lst Orio Regiments
camp this morning. They were tenderiy taken IN
