republican officials, however. deny that

Roberts masterly tactics. They were
too dcmnraIiyed to heed his expostula-

The correspondent of the Daily Newa
EAys;
"rhe Beers were ueized with panic,
thUs spelling the whole plan which
had been beautifully calculated to de-
stroy them utterly.
"As the Sixth division emerged from
e hidden position and appeared on the
crest with the mounted infantry ia
sldrmiAhing order the Beers thought
the whole earth wRE covered with sol
dierE in their front and rear and on
their flanks. They did not wait to
verify their supposition, but fe1,

they might share the fate of Cronie."
