stopped we could not account Of the
damage to some part of the running ma

the engine being in the rear. We left
the cars and retired to the right and left
of the train through the woods, finding
that the enemy's batteries were sustain
ed by what appeared to be regiment of
infantry and cavalry which force we have
since understood to be 500 South Car
DINA troops. We fell back along the
railroad, throwing out skirmshers on
both flanks-this was about p. NJ.
Thus we retired, slowly bringing off our
wounded for 5 miles to this point which
we reached at 10 O'Clock.

train and abandoned US, running TO AL
exandria, and we have heard nothing
from him since-thus we were deprived
OF all means of carrying the wounded
who had to be carried on litters and
blankets
We wait here holding the road for re-
Inducements The enemy did not pur-
sue
/ have ascertained that the enemy's
force at Fairfax Court House, four miles
from Vienna, is about 1000
When the enemy's batteries fred up
on Us, Maj. Houghev was on the fore
most platform car, Col. McCook was
with me in one OF the passenger cars
Both these officers, with others OF the
commissioned officers and many of the
men, behaved very coolly under this
CALLING fire which we could not return,
and from batteries which we could not
flank or turn from the nature OF the
ground. The approach to Vienna is
through a cut in the r. h. In leaving
the cars and before they could rally
many OF my men lost their haversacks
and blankets, but brought of. all their
muskets, except it may be a few that
were destroyed by the enemy's first fire
or lost with the killed.
