themselves pressed in front, and OF the flank,
and that I could not sustain them
without passing the creek with my
whole force, which would have been con-
trary to your orders, and would have drawn on

in good order. The conduct Of the troops
was excellent, and the withdrawal was made
by them very reluctantly. The enemy made
q demonstration to Cross, but abandoned the
movement.
Our loss is considerable, though cannot
