was upon hill which was strongly fortified
with P'rapets and palisades. The fight
was fierce and long, being suspended only
when darkness covered the scene. During
the night Floyd fed with his army in such
haste, that his OWa personal baggage was
captured. Our troops were too much ex-

represent our Ohio boys as fighting calamity.
This victory viii, we think, clean the rebels
