Gen. Stevens with 1000 men was to make
an attack at day.break, while Gen. Wright
and Col Williams, with 5000 more men,
were to support. Somehow the movement
was delayed an hour, and as our troops
rushed up in broad day light, they were met
by murderous FIRE of grape and canister.
Two regiment only reached the front, much
cut up, the Sth Mich and 10th N. y
| The 29th Mass. broke and scattered, and
the 46th N. Y. did but little better. The
first two drove the gunners from the guns,
and some even penetrated the work, but the
other regiments failing to support them
they had to retire, after holding the bat
terry some 20 minutes. Meantime, Col.
Williams coming to their support, was sep
5 arated from the fort by marsh, and ex,
! posed TO severe cross fire from some reb-
el guns in the woods. His troops the Sd
N. Y. and Sd R. l. fought nobIy with con-
: siderable loss. For three quarters of an
hour not gun was fred from the fort, and
