us with terrible rapidity. In addition to this, the enemy, whenever

driven from other points, rallied around this battery, and defended

it with desperation. It cost a struggle to take it; but we finally

planted upon the yet smoking guns. Captain Smith, of my regiment,

was placed in charge of the captured battery, which consisted of 5

guns, 3 caissons, and 17 horses."
