Of bringing water to the suffering men through the

The slaughter Of the enemy at the battery, as the
combined charge of the Virginia Regime Mt and the
Hampton Legion swept it, is said to have been
terrific. The fugitives were pursued by the COM
panies of the Legion to Centreville. For four
or five miles the pursuit is described to have been
over dead bodies, which strewed the rerta Of the
enemy.
Tie Legion reports about thirty kIIed and NOR
tally hurt, with the immense number Of nearly three
hundred wounded truly gallant record. Neither
its cavalry companies nor artillery arrived in time

would have been made by the Legion. As it is
with the gallant record il has made. and the compli
ments of Beauregard given it the day after the vic
tory, it may boast, indeed, to have had distin-
guished part In the glorious day.
