Taylor, 1t will be recoIlected, occasioned
much excitement at the commencement Of
the war, by unexpectedly appearing at
Arlington with flag of truce, and after
wards brought to headquarters at Wash
ington blindfolded, and subsequently con-
veycd outside of our lines, the object OF
his misson-an exchange of prisoners
being unaccompli,hed. The detachment
from General McCall's division, which
took part in the battle, did not arrive at
Draiusville unit about noon, and remain.
cd there till % o'clock, when the enemy
appeared in force, coming from the direc
ton of CentrevilIe. Previous to this Gen.
Ord had placed his forces in position to
repel an anticipated attack.
The fire was first opened by the rebel
battery throwing solid shot, she'll and can
ister This was responded to by Easton S
battery with marked effect The infantry
on each side soon engaged in the conflict,
and at times they were not more than six
yards apart, After fighting about an hour
shell from our side exploded the ammu-
uition os one of the rebel caissons, making
fearful havoc-three of the rebels having
their heads completely blown off, and 9th,
crs being horribly mutilated. At this
time the enemy wavered and showed a
disposition 10 run, when Gen. Ord gave
the command to charge, which was gal
lantly obeyed, and at once the rebels pre-
cipitately fed. They were pursued for
upward of mile, when Gen. Mccall ar,
irving on the ground ordered recall to
be sounded. Our troops then fell back to
a position just vacated by the enemy
Twenty -one of the wounded rebels received
surgical treatment from DR.. Lowman and
his assistants, having been taken into a
neighboring house for that purpose. They
2 ould have been brought to Gen. McCall's
camp had the ambulances arrived in prop
er time. All Of our own killed and woun,
ded were, however, brought away.
A large number of trophies, we're Sc,
cured by our troops, such as swords pistols
and guns.
