THE ENEMY FALL BACK.

On Sunday morning it was discovered that the
enemy had fallen back the previous night leaving our
forces undisputed possession of the battle field and
leaving portion of their dead and wounded on the
field quantity of baggage left by the retiring
Yankees, and persons who visited the field picked
up several articles of value. One soldier we learn,
found thousand dollars in greenbacks on the body Of
dead Yankee. BY some means, whether accidental
otherwise is not known, the woods took fire on Sat
urday night, and no doubt several of the enemy's
wounded burned to death, as our pickets could
hear their piteous groans throughout the night the
fire approached them.
