This Is a mistake: We still have enough credit
left, and it NAV be correctly termed a re-
msrkable victory, when rs / find by refer
ence TO my report we had 1893 men: OF these
only $50 veterans. the remainder being the
gallant reserves and citizens from adjacent
counties. who deserve all the encomiums you
have bestowed upon them. In the manage
ment of these | was ably assisted by Captain
L. Il Boswell, of Mecklenburg. The enemy
had 5000 well-trained and splendidly equip
ped troops. over 5000 of whom advanced To
the charge repeatedly on our small force, be-
ing as often dissstrously repelled.
ANOTHER MISTAKE.
Your description is in error in stating that
General Wilson made his headquarters on
ncPhal's lawn from whence he could view
the field Of battle and all of its approaches"
Really neither Stanton bridge nor but few
of lts approaches can be seen from McPhalls
residence or lawn which is lor was In 1860
obstructed from any extensive view by inter-
venlng woods.
] had the pleasure Of knowing oil Of the
family except Major McPheil. who was absent
with his command at the front.
And l designedly had the empty trains
frequently run back and forth between our
defenses and Glover depot, while the enemy
were approaching and deploying. our men
being Instructed to huzza on the arrival OF
every train, thus giving FEASIBILITY to the
report of Mrs. McPhail to the Federal com
mander, and giving him apparently good
reason to believe we were rapidly being REIN
forced.
/ do not think, General. that any Of us de-
serve very great credit for doing our duty in
what we believe TO be right by both instruc-
ton and inheritance, but none of US are will
ling when having done our duty TO have our
