who keep up some skiamshlng, but make
no serious opposition TO the advance of our
forces. IT is believed they will satisfy

attack from the enemy was expected, and
the houses prevented free range of our
artillery, and would afford shelter to

abeut 200 inhabitants, only few Of
whom We're lett when the place was burnt,
the rest having gone within the rebel
lines. The place has been evacuated bv
