Lieutenant Barry, of the artillery, had been, for some days previous, placed in charge of a thirty-two pound rifle gun, mounted on a view of the fight and of the enemy's line of battle, I directed the railroad battery, commanded most efficiently by Lieutenant Barry, to advance to the front so as to clear, in some degree, the deep cut over which the bridge was thrown, and to open as heavy, including Lieutenant-Colonel Shivers, who was wounded in the arm. The enemy being reenforced by the addition of Barry's brigade, our force was compelled to retire for a short distance, which was accomplished in good order.
