Siauntou is well fortified; but IL
the enemy had only remained 10 hold

could have captured tie whole rebel
command. We got in just such posi-.
lions as 10 secure that character Of
result. AL one time our nolumn was
in a great measure in The rear ofJones

The principle fight took place on
the liue of the North river and Middle
