The hill sloped gently toward the station. Col. Sully's First Minnesota and the Second New-York, Lieut.-Colonel Hudson, composed the right wing on one side of the house, the Thirty-fourth New-York, Col.

Abercrombie. Two of his regiments were still stubbornly contesting the field. Col. Cochrane's First United States Chasseurs, (New-York,) and Col. Neill's Pennsylvania regiments, and a Pennsylvania bat
