tho credit of the nation and moot the de

to be in'nt pcrniclmta and hurtful to us.

The enomy’s cavalry made a da«h into

prising our videttes. A brigade of in-
I strength U of j ^ unt G’ followed immediately after them,
and drew up in line of battle in the mouth
of the gap. Our brigade wn# ordered to

enemy was weak—nothing metro than a
cavalry reconnoisunce—and could easily
bo driven back, ordered our Golonel
(itudler) to take hix regiment ni.d drive
them from a copse of wood* upon our
loft, from which they wore annoying us.
The order wa* given—wo wheel to the
left, up a bill and into the woo^, driving
their sharpihootore bofore u-. Upon
emerging from the opposite side of the
woods, we found an old fence, behind
which we got, and opened fire*upon the
retreating sharpshooter#. We were con
gratulating ourselves upon our position,
when, to our dismay, the enemy opened
on us from the front and upon our right
and left flunks. For the space of fifteen
minutes the firing w»t hot and furious

to their work gallantly and fought des

with n losi of ono-thlrd of their com

Stewart arrived upon tho field at this
critical juncture and order wh- restored.
