FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE sTRAsBURG FIGHT
New York, March 26. The Herad's Win
chester dispatch says, that on Sunday morning
at 10 o clock the rebels received reinforcements
under Gen Garnett, numbering 5000 men
The Union force did not exceed 10000, and
with the exception of about 500, were of Gen.
Shields division exclusively. At half past ten
the enemy made "a feint on our left, command
ed by acting Brig. Gen. Sullivan, opening
heavy fire of artillery, while the real attack
was directed against our right, with the object
of fanking. Maj. Kimball commanded our
right, where the severest fighting was DONE
The enemy was strongly posted in the woods
behind stone wall, and their artillery was
posted on an eminence on both sides of their
left wing. Our whole artillery force was en-
gagged it consisted of four batteries of "a
pieces in all. The contest ragged furiously till
three P. NJ, the fighting being done chiefly by
artillery and musketry at a distance of not
more than three or four hundred yards. After
much loss the rebel infantry opposite our right
deployed from the road and attempted to cap.
ture Doane's battery by charge. The first
effort was nearly successful, but a heavy dis
charge of grape compelled them to retire in
confusion. A second and weaker attempt like.
wise failed, and the enemy fell back with heavy
loss behind the stone parapet.
Gen. Tyler now ordered his brigade to charge
the enemy's batteries on the left, and most
deadly encounter followed Twice our men
reeled under the storm, but on the third effort
they routed the rebels with tremendous slaugh-
ter and loud cheering, capturing two OF their
guns and four caissons. Out Of 300 men en-
2 lged in the fight, 26 were killed and SO woun
ded. Col. Murray fell, leading his gallant corps
forward and many other daring officers were
killed or wounded.
The 5th and 9Th Ohio shared the glory with
the S4th N. Y, and Sd Va, Regiment who al
so suffered. The enemy's killed and wounded
strewed the ground in profusion, their left wing
was utterly broken and their centre was waver-
ing. On their side the 4th and 9th Va. Regl.
ment suffered the most. The former was terri
bly decimated Several attempts to rally their
right wing failed, and to add to their confusion
the Irish battalion of $50, when brought for
ward and ordered to fire upon the Union troops
refused to fire. rebel regiment Immediately
drove this gallant little band forward, but could
not compel them to fire upon the Union army.
40 corpses of the 18th afterwards strewed the
field.
In the meantime the rebels gave way on their
left and centre, with a loss Of 700 killed ana
wounded and 236 taken prisoners. Besides
these about 1900 muskets were taken ana
many other valuable trophies. Our loss does
not exceed 100 killed, and 300 wounded
