GORDONS FIGHT IN THE SWAMP.
B. Gordon led the skirmishers at Fair
Oaks, his own regiment Of Alabamians.
In order to reach the battlefield by a
short cut Gordon had marched his sol

the stumps and took picked shots. In
a short time the New Workers retired

through the tangled abatis and over
the intrenchments. Mystiied by the
tactics OF the southerners, the Yankee
boys again retreated. and in the eager
ness of pursuit the Alabamlans plung
