&" Eucktail Rifles" pushed on, and arrived at
| Dranesville about one o'clock, when fire was
| op ,ned upon him by rebel battery in the

| improved so much that our boys were obliged
to lie upon their faces to avoid the flying
missiles.

the Kane Rifles, who charged bayonets upon
them with briskness, and drove them back
