terry bad been brought up and was stationed in
the road. The attack here was made about
O'Clock in the morning. Co. Manson coming up
20 the position just after the attack began, and
seeing that his men must be overpowered before
the other regiments could come up, ordered his
men To fall back, which they did in good order,
fighting as they went Capt. Standard reluc-
family gave up the privilege Of giving the enemy
one good blizzard from that point, and retired
too.
Immediately to the rear of the woods where
the 10Th was stationed is another field, with a
steep descent to a ravine, and then comes another
dense forest. On the left of the road the clear
iDgs continue to the ravine, the sides Of which at
that point are covered with growth Of scrub
oaks and other timber.
After crossing the river another field lies on
the left of the road. The 10Th retired through
the field on the right of the road. and through
the woods for about hundred and fifty yards 70
