On the whole, our troops behaved admirably.
No great army ever did better Every loyalist
who saw how steadily and solidly taey moved

and lead felt his heart swell vilh pride.
The opportunity for seng the battle was un-
paralleled. A single standpoint commanded
nearly the whole field from dawn 70 dark. No
