The truth Of the matter Is, the Third Bri-

Second Brigade About 100 or s o'clock, as
near as ! can judge, We were advanced in line
Of battle up 20 aud behind the Second Corps,

advantage: as the works were Ca a knoll and we
were part way down. we were protected sOme-
what, as they had TO rise up TO shoot down at
Us, consequently they would shoot over US. i
suppose that accounts for there not being moro
killed. We were supplied with ammunition
while We were fighting, brought on pack mules
in our rear through q small gully. Some of
the rebels who were tired Of fighting would
stick up white rags in token Of surrender,
