but circumstances favored us, and proved that the battle is not always to the strong. Darkness was rapidly approaching. We opened fire, and never were the iron messengers of death hurled in quicker succession from the throats of two guns. The song that saved the army. Darkness was fast coming on, and objects at a distance were growing indistinct. Our numbers were few, but our lung-power was good, and we made the hills ring with the regular old hair-raising rebel yell, which was answered with a cheer just behind us, and my heart grew to double its usual size when I looked and saw the glorious old Louisianians coming to our support at a double-quick. They divided as they came up, and taking position on each side of the guns they made their muskets sing the sweetest little song (to us) that ever fell on mortal ears, being a fit accompaniment to the bass notes of our two twelve-pounder Napoleons. The enemy made no charge that night, and our little army was saved. John H. Lane.
