on last Wednesday near Munson's Hill, be-
tween about 400 OF our troops with four pie
ces Of artillery and from two to three thou
sand Of the enemy, with eight field pieces,
in which our troops caused almost as greata
stampede among the Yankees as was caused
at Manassas. In their fight they left their
hats, blankets, canteens, &C.. and six OF their
dead. The enemy did not approach within
musketry range, and the fight was conse-
quently altogether with artillery.

$4,000 have been mustered in New York.

: sound as when cut from the forest. they
had been cut "a years.
