work in the rear. He accordingly sent
across companies d and F, and support
ed them very closely with companies (
and X. Meanwhile our batteries became
silent. Companies d and f were led
| by Lieut.. Whittemore. No sooner were
they in the stream than the water was
found to be much deeper than had been
stated; the men went to their armpits,
and every charge of their ammunition
was, of course, thoroughly soaked. This
attempt was made below the dam, and il
is possible the enemy, when he saw the
intention TO cross, let in more water by
a foodgate than had been in the stream
While The men were in the stream a
large body of the enemy, estimated al
three regiments, opened upon them from
rifle pit upon the very bank, and this
terrible fire cut down nearly half their
number. Never, however, was a fire
received with greater steadiness or more
glorious intrepidity. Except those bit,
not man of the magnificent Vermont
ers wavered, but all finely pushed on, and
with one shout rose upon the bank and
pushed upon the enemy with the bayonet,
and fairly drove them out 10 utter rout
and confusion but TIE contest was too
unequal. NosuPports were within prop
er distance; and though the enemy was
driven away from the first line of pits,
and the other two companies OF the Sd
were in the water to cross, those on the
other side were ordered to retreat, and
did so, very reluctantly, however, and
lighting ienaciously at every step.
Once more our batteries re.opened, and
kept up 'heir fire with great vieor until
dark. Meantime the blood of the Green
Mountain Boys was up, and at dusk the
Vermont 4th, Col. Stoughrou, and the
Vermont 9Th, Col. Lord, made brave
but Intellectual attempt to cross the stream
on the dam but the enemy had the gun
in his one gun battery trained particular
ly upon the point, and they were swept
back by the combined fire of that gun
and the enemy's rifles. There was con-
loss in the 9th, which was in
advance. The division general at this
time ordered the fire to cease, and our
men slept upon their arms ii the positions
they respectively held. All agree that
the loss of the enemy has been severe.
Many were seen to fall, and they were
observed u be very busy in the removal d.
Of men on stretchers.'
