fell back aud were ordered TO withdraw.
They passed through town IN considerable
confusion. but reformed and continued TO
march in good order to Martnsburg, twenty
two miles distant. Our loss
was considerable, as was that of the rebels,
but cannot now be stated.
: Halleck has been joined by Gen.
Curtis force.
\ dispatch received tonight states that
Banks made good his escape across the Po-

He (Banks) attempted 20 make a stand,
