Iors ro,,rod into our troops before

mortars poured into our troops before
they were formed. Two or three Vol,
leys of musketry were exchanged But
few of our men were injured. The
rebels showed themselves too strong at
this point to warrant an assault. The
2d and 9th corps had each made an
attempt to take these very works when
the army first arrived here.
Mortars were freely used on both
sides, and the rebels, with unusual sue
cess, dropped their shells directly in
our midst. Licut. ludlow, of Barton S
brigade, worked his mortars admirably,
and annoyed the enemy very much by
the correctness of his aim.

shells set fire to buildings and caused
conflagration.
