The disposition of the military forces
Is admirable. 1t is the plan of the vet

lines of troops, arranged in cschelon.
The first line is made up of the men of
the sixteenth regiment. The second
line is made up of the men of the Eff
teenth, commanded by Col. Kreps The
Firth regiment prolongs the Fiftoenth's
line to the left. The Eighteenth reri.
ment occupies the crest of the Hill.
about 100 yards to the rear of the second
line of battle.
On the north side of the Monongaheln
was thrown Il Provisional brigade. The
purpose of disposing this strong force
of men and guns there is to protect the
Pemiclley railway bridge and its an.
proachcs on that side of the river. The
bridge is valuable. strategically. for IL
spans portion of the mill grounds. and
switches from its approaches run into
the mill yards.
The Thirteenth regiment. of Scranton.

is being discussed in whispers by the
men. 1t is almost wholly made up of
sharpshooters. From the positions they
now occupy they can pick off men in
any part of the town who are within
