loud cheers would come op from the *n*my.
Next, oo* of onr batteries or a flanking fore?
would break them, and then the cbeenng of our
men, a* they advanoed, waa heard nearly a Billa

On ih? whole, our troopehave behaved admirably.
Never wat field more bravely and biuerly coe?
utled; not an met, waa gained without paying for ?
in loyal blood.
A decitite victory cannot be claimed. We bava
not annibiUted the enemy; we have not driven bin
