Colonel Washburn, outfanked the rebels
and gained a position in the rear anC

enemy thought that they were out o
ammunition, when in reality they coulC
not stand against the well directed fire o.
the Vermonters. just at this time Gen
Pierce gave the order to cease fire and
retreat. Not man was hurt of the Yer.
mont regiment until the rebels resumed
their firing, after which TIE Federal
troops began to retreat, which they did
in good order. A member Of the Yer
mont Regiment is missing, and three or
four were wounded. It's feared that the
missing man was Killed, as nothing was
heard of him up to Wednesday night.
The Vermonters behaved nobly.
They fanked the enemy, marched down
