d, but on being reinforced gained their position, from which they were subsequently driven, after a severe engagement of an hour and a half. Gen. Thomas's forces then charged the rebels for nearly a mile and a half, punishing them badly. About two o'clock in the afternoon the rebels made a fierce dash on our centre, composed of the divisions of Gens. Van Cleve and Reynolds. Gen. Van Cleve's forces were struck on the right flank, and, being vigorously pushed, fell back until Gen. Carter's line was broken, and the troops became much scattered. Gen. Thomas on the left, and Gen.

Some 150 of them are said to have fought well, but the balance are reported to have run like clever fellows. The enemy lost one killed and two wounded. We lost none, and of course the resistance must have been feeble and cowardly. Seven or eight hundred men, or even half that number, well posted and brave, ought to have whipped the raiding party easily, especially as it was cavalry.
