Abou. | O'Clock in the afternoon ne
gro mounted on horseback came dashing
into camp, crying out that the rebels were
coming in great numbers, and they will
surround you and cut you off.
At first the men laughed at him, saying
they had waited SO long for them, that
they did not believe word of it.
AS soon, however, as Col. Henley saw
| the man he became satisfied of their ap-
proach.
The long roll was beaten, and the men
responded, springing hastily to arms, and
forming in lines by companies.
Very soon the rebels made their ap
pearance, and strange to say not gun

lryIand regiment. 1t may have been that
in consequence of sudden turn in the
road, they were surprised and captured.
| Co. A was ordered to deploy as skirm-
ishers, and support section of Knapp's
Pennsylvania Battery, which mustered
about 40 men. In the meantime the 1t
Colonel of the 29th infantry, with a small
detachment of his men, who had been
acting as pioneer corps, also formed
and prepared to receive the enemy. The
Battery was soon engaged, and discharged
shot and she'll for near two hours, unit
nearly all its ammunition had been ex

The firing was spirited, and there is nc
. doubt of its efficiency. Unable, howev
