to support the 18th Ohio Battery, but in a
short time, the Goth Indiana and 23d Wiscon-

we went in, on the double quick. We came
right in front ofthe main rebel infantry force,
and such fight as we had for a few minutes,

on two sides of us, and of course had raking
cross fire on us. Their cavalry charged on The
left, and we were compelled to fall back, for
about mile. Then one Brigade of the Sd
Division came to our assistance, and we rallied
again, and then came the rebels time to re-
treat. We drove them for about three miles,
when our men became too tired to pursue
them any farther.
The next day was spent in burying the
dead, and caring for the wounded.
We learned that the rebels had received
heavy reinforcements, and yesterday we fell

or two, and where part of the 10Th Army
