of Brig Gen. Martin attempted to drive in our pick
cts and take the city.
They advanced on the Trent road from Pollocks'
vile, and succeeded in driving, after brisk skir'
mish the pickets for short distance. About S00
Rebels then marched throcgh the woods seven miie'
to capture two companies of the Massachusetts 27tb
and one company Of the Massachusetts Oath, sta
toned at Bachelors Creek, on the railroad.
The Rebels met with hot reception and were de-
feated falling bask in disorder and retresting on tho
double.quick.

but Col. John Kurtz Of the ODD Massachusetts,, the
Provost Marshal in command Of the post, was pre-
pared at all points.
