Its soldiers claim — justly, I believe — the proud distinction of being the last to yield in the general break of our lines that gloomy Sunday afternoon, which, at half past 4 o'clock, had left most of our army within half a mile of the Landing, with the rebels up to a thousand yards of their position.
