envy charged with heavy body of infant
ry. The charge was aimed directly upon
my command, but owing apparently TO the
firm front shown them, they diverged mid
way, and came upon the line on my right.
But they did not escape the warm reception
prepared for them by the Vermoniers. As
soon as the charge OF the point OF attack
became evident, l ordered a flank attack
upon the enemy's column. Forming 10 the
open meadow in front of our line, the 18th
and 10th regiments marched down in col
umn by the flank, charged front forward,
at right angle to the main line of battle OF
the army, bringing them in a line OF battle
upon the flank of the charging column of
the enemy, and ope ned destructive fire at
short range, which the enemy sustained but
a few minutes before the larger portion OF
them surrendered and marched in, not as
conquerors, hut as captives. They had but
dropped their arms before another rebel col
umn appeared, charging upon our left. Col.
Veazy OF the 10th was at once ordered
back to take it in its turn, upon the flank,

Among the prisoners are Lieut. General

are $500 men in the hospital, half of whom
are wounded. Only $50 of the garrison
are reported fit for duty The stock of
provisions was almost exhausted, and for
four days numbers had been eating mule
flesh. Of ammunition for heavy guns they
had fair supply, but Of field guns and
musketry they were short. Eight caps to
man were allowed They had an excess
OF sugar, molasses and rice, and these were
all the supplies they had, except little
unground corn. The latest aivices from
the fallen stronghold are to the 9Th instant
