The Reports OF the CoIonels.

their reports to Gen. Mcdowell, and they are

Of Keyes, who has since been made Brigadiel
General Tyler states positively thai Keyes
was in successful advance when the retreat
was psgun. Col. Hunters report simply men
tons the gallant conduct Of his staff Col
Burnsides report Is coniirmatory of all other
reliable ones Of the battle, sta ing that his
br ,ade had been engaged for six hours with
everything In favor of our troops aud proms
ing decisive victory, when some OF the regi
merits on the extreme right Of "our line broke.
His brigade, however, protected the retreat,
anu was not thrown into confusion until its ar.
rival at Cob Run, where, in crossing the bridge,
under q heavy cannonade, a wagon horse was
wounded, the wagon overset, and the passage
completely obstructed. After this the column
could not be rallied for two or three miles.
Col. Heintzleman's most important statement
is that the Zouaves were led by himself against
partly concealed Alabama regiment, but at
the first fire they broke, and the greater portion
Of them fled to the rear, keeping up desultoIy
firing over the heads of their comrades in front ::
they, however, dispersed company of seces

four and wounding one. "Col. Farnham, with
some ofhis officers and men, behaved gallantly !;
but the regiment Of Zouaves, as q regiment
did not appear again on the field. Many of the
men joined other regiments and did good ser
vice as sklrmishers." Colonel Hsutzleman's
description Of the breaking up of the Brooklyn

mortifying. He attributes 1t to the lack OF

that the disaster of the day began. Col. Hentzle.
man does not mince matters at all, but says 1t
was impossible to rally his troops; he excuses
them by saying that "few of the enemy could
at any time be seen," and "raw troops cannot
be expected to stand long against an unseen
enemy"
Colonel Miles, the officer who has been &C.
cused of drunkenness on the field of battle,
gives report which is dated July 24, three
days after the fight, and commences by stating
that his "health being impaired and growing
worse, If he delayed he would not be able to
report" The details are quite as full as that
OF any other officer; he mentions that the com.
maud was taken from him on tn, field and at
first without his knowledge; he praises the
behavior of Col. Richardson Chs accuser); and
