tepco of their leaders did not allow them
to silenco, owing to oinsufilcont reinforce
monts being scnt in proper timo when
saw those heroes, at eleven dollars a
month, losing heads, legs and arms in
profusion around me; when witnessed
tho horrible rout brought about by a
mastery flank movement of their picked
cavalry and sharpshootcrs, and when I
saw our artillerymen unlimber thoir
guns, cnt loose tho traces of their horses
and flee, leaving the pieces behind; when
| saw, too, our boasted cavalry flying in
tho samo mad haste, with regiment after
regiment pushing aftor thom like 80

guns, bay onets, cartridge boxes and pro-
visions of every kind away--dragoons
riding over infantry in their flight, and
tho ground absolutely covered for three
miles with bodies. thon l realized, ms
