Crawford's and Gordon's brigades were spread out upon the right under the shelter of a line of woods. A right flank movement was determined upon intended to have been the decisive stroke of the day. Crawford's brigade was ordered to advance. Slowly and steadily theyofficers only escaped harm--Colonel Beale, of the 10th Maine; Lieutenant-Colonel Selfridge, of the 46th Pennsylvania, and Major Walker, of the 10th Maine. Captains and Lieutenants were also nearly every one killed, wounded, or captured. General Gordon's brigade, which came up to support them, came out of action almost as badly injured. The General and his staff were unharmed, but his regiments suffered heavily. The remnant of the two brigades will now scarcely make a single regiment.
