 The Second regiment, under command of Colonel Doherty, were out on grand guard or support duty this afternoon. The ground covered by eight companies of the regiment was from Gordon's mills to 8 bridge on the Wanacook river, where the main guard of the left wing was estab- Eshed. Two companies, A and E, which were detailed as the attacking party, at tackled the outposts which were established along the line. They. made an attack on the extreme right at the mill, where they were repulsed by detachment under com mand of Lieutenant Colonel Lee, who was supported by Lieutenant Sears with the Gatling gun.
 The roads leading to camp were at this time guarded by sentinels in ambush, so that the enemy could not advance on the camp. The two companies then advanced | on the center of the line and carried one of | the bridges and crossed into the main road. Major Burpee then concentrated three companies in front and on the right of the advancing party, and ordered Company F to the rear of the attacking force, who were compelled to acknowledge that they were completely surrounded. The regi ment then marched back to camp in order to be in time for dress parade at half-past five.
