would not give them the advantage Of the woods
and the level ground would give our sturdier men a
chance to run them down and give them the cold
steel, with which they never pretend to cope. THAI
fente line was their last hope. Our men still movet
forward, until the forces came into very close prox
unity.
Gen. King was absent, sick, and bis Division went
into the fight under command OF Gen. Hatch, the
General Of the First Brigade of that Division. In
the very outset, Gen. Hatch was wounded in III,

took the bait thought they had beaten, and in the
darkness, supposed Doubleday was rctreating OF

exultation. Gen. Doubleday ordered his men to re.

he made too good mark. He was instantly killed
by bullet piercing his forehead.
Another honorable name in the ranks is that OF
Winfield Scott Carr, mere boy, not eighteen, in the
seth sylvania, who engaged in one of those
unequal disastrous fights in the last of August.
Night had overtaken his regiment, still unwilling to
give way. A movement Of the enemy brought the
colors Of a regiment with their bearer in sight.

deliberate aim, shot the color-bearer dead on the
