and, under their united fire, the enemy VII
forced to abandon his position on the noztl
side Of the river, burning, in his retreat
Tho railroud bridge and the neishbor
ing dwellings. The rise OF the rive,
rendering, the lower fo1ds impossible
enabled tie enemy to concentrate his mar

e4tb, LoDgst1cet was ordered to proceed tt
his support. Although retarded by the
| swollen condition of Hazel }rlyer and other
tributaries Of the Rappahannock, he reached
