Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1862-04-25

Never, however. was fire received with
greater steadiness or more glorious intrepid
iy. Except those hit, not man OF the
magnificent Vermhniers wavered, but all
finely pushed on, and with one shout arose
upon the bank, and rushed upon the enemy
with the bayonei, and fairly drove them OUT
in utter rout and confusion; but the contest
was too unequal No support were within
proper distance and though the enemy
was driven away from the first line OF pits,
and the other two companies of the ID were
in the water TO cross, those on the other
side were ordered to retreat, and did so,
very reluctantly, however, and fighting ten
aciously at every step.
Once more our batteries re-opened, and
kept up their fire with great vigor until
dark. Meantime the blood Of the Green
Mountain Boys was up, and at dusk the
Vermont Fourth, Col. Stoughton, and the
the Vermont Sixth, Col Lord, made "a brave
but Intellectual attempt to pass the stream
on the dam; but the enemy had the gun in
in his one gun battery trained particularly
upon this point, and they were swept back
by the combined fire of that gun and the
enemy's rifles. There was considerable loss
in the Sixth, which was in the advance.
AT this time the firing ceased, and our
men slept upon their arms during The night,
expecting to renew the battle in the morn
ing.
