cannon, and captured the celebrated Sherman
battery of Is pieces, all ready loaded for ser
vice, put the Hessians to fight, who went
precipitately in wild confusion, not knowing
what they were doing or whittier they were
going. The right wing under Beauregard,
and the lett under ohnston had been engag
ed several hours, when the centre under Davis
aud Lee advanced. causing the Hessians to
sound retreat, which soon turned to a con-
fused and most precipitate fight and stsm-
pede, the men throwing away their guns,
haversacks, &c, and rushing wildly in every
direction. like frantic idiots.

Many OF those reported as killed at the bat
