On our right, in the vicinity of Col
Avery's farm, heavy firing continued du--
ring the greater portion of the day.. but
late in the afternoon it became quite severe,
the enemy attempting to carry our works
by assaults. This portion ofthc iinrs was
occupied in the morning chiefly by the mi
litia. The enemy having succeeded in mo-
wing two or three batteries in that direc-
tion, shclled eur men furiously, but they
gatiantly>stOod their ground until our D,.t.
| teries could be placed in position to silence
tie enemy's trs, which was done eHectu-
aily.
AS soon as regular troops could be
brought up aud placed IN position the ni.
litia were relieved, aud Gen. Bushrod
Johnsons division occupied the breast
