ived within half a mile of the rebel intrenchments, several shots were fired at them from two rifled cannon.
Allen's battery responded by hurling in three well-directed shells.
The enemy were not long in evacuating.
Taking their cannon--ten-pounders — they fled to their barracks to the left, set fire to them, and then beat a precipitate retreat in the direction of Yorktown.
The force inside the works consisted of three companies of Major Phillips's Virginia cavalry, under command of Capts. Todd, Puller and Rose, and a battalion of Mississippi infantry.
Two of the infantry managed to straggle behind and allow themselves to be captured.
One says he is a native of Boston, and the other of Wisconsin.
Happening to be in Mississippi when the rebellion broke out, they were impressed into service, and the present was their first opportunity of joining the Union troops.
Our troops quickly extinguished the flames of the burning barracks.
They were log-huts for winter accommodation,
