down without another call upon the patriot

ratism that had accumulated thereon, sees
very clesrly TOW the cause Of the rebellion
and proposes to strike directly at it. Mr.

The army was driven back from Winchester this

which is estimated at from 1900 to q, 600 men.
Our force consisted Of only two small brigades,

men, and yet they held the Rebels in check for four
hours, and then were forced to retreat, which they
did in good order.
The I'd Massachusetts Regiment was the only one
