supply fvc.in reached us this morning and we now have plenty,

it tbout 10am the xebels comenced at us with grect fury,
First the attact wes the most fierce at the right for the first
two hours. Our company sae: no rebels in front, but the canon

a charge end nearly reeched our supply train. Our company
was then orde‘e. to the left on double quick tine,

But I guess we would have ben driven out had it not ben for a
kettery of 12 pound steel canon that came in our line and com-
meneec. pouring their shot and sheil into the advancing Kebels,
mowing down both men and trees in the nearby woods.

#fter ihe battle, the ground was nearly covered with men
and guns. The noise of the canons close to my right fired so
