which place the aids Wee in cons ant
communication. On Sunday morning
ne battle opened IL seven O'clock, and
at nine he rcniorcemcnts began tn
arrive by railroad AS fact as they could

kWd. Those of the Rebel troops VIII,
could be rallied were employed all night
in picking up the guns, baggage
and ammunition left on the field, anc
ritlmg the dead and wounded of what

that our roops had fed, Beanregart
rallied, and again manned and repaired
the ba teries and threw up additional
entertainments, in hourly expec "a ion "
another attack. But he army was 81
frightened thar hey could not get an,
force follow outside the forticarons
In fact, from the description of he con
traband, the whole army was whipped
routed, aud had our roups held out al
hour longer; would have been in posses
