al follows:
The battle on Monday evening lasted about four

down In torrents, with heavy pesIs Of thunder
ana brilliant flashes Of lightning. For time
ne taer horse nor man could breast the storm and
the firing which had been going on for some time
slsckened, until lull In the storm permitted It's
resumption. Brney's brigade Of Kearney's di-
vision was ordered out in line of ba tie Thex
had not been In place long before Gen. BirneS
observed that one or two regiments on his RIG ht
belonging to some other brigade, had left the
position and retired from the field. The fact
was reported TO Gen. Kearney, and more troops
were asked for to q! the dangerous gap. kearney
declared 1t impossible that such an unwarranted
movement should have been made, but to satisfy
himself 9alloped of to recOunoitre. He inad-
veftently passed through and beyond our lines
and Was seen no more alive
BirnSy TUNED TO bring up the 3Sth New York
