however, were not damaged at all. and
in these the confederates remained
active until the las. At three o'clock
in the afternoon, in accordance with the
advice Of Gen. Hunt chief Of artillery,
preparations were made to send land
ing parties over the river in pontoons
10 try to capture the remaining sharp
shooters. About 1870 men from Halls
brigade, the Seventh Michigan volun-
teers, assisted by the Fiftieth New York
volunteers, were assigned to do the
work. 1t was certain death for some ct
the men-how many could not even be
guessed. The river was full Of floating
ice; the air was cold and damp; the men
were disheartened. Lieut.. Robbins, OF
the Tiftieth New York, was in COM
lnand Of the first boat. The men Of the
New York regiment cooperated with the
Michigan men. One OF the oarsmen in
the first boat was shot down almost at
the start. Robbins and the others
pushed on, sprang out into the water
and sought temporary cover. Other
boats followed in quick succession, and
although some one was either killed or
wounded in each boat the landing party
was soon formed. 1t rushed forward to
the refuge places Of the confederates,
taking many Of them prisoners. The
bridge was soon completed. Soon aft
erward the bridge at the lower end Of
the town was completed in the same
way and the sharpshooters Of the enc
my who remained were captured. The
loss had been seven killed and AZ
wounded in the work. Lieut.. Robbins,
the leader Of the first landing party, re.
ceived conspicuous mention for his
bravery
The bridges were finished that day,
but It was not until 4S hours after they
were begun that Burnside crossed
them, hoping to begin his march to
Richmond. In two days more his army,
beaten, but not entirely demoralized,
crossed them again. Delay had again

ageous Army Of the Potomac.-Harper's
