In front of the mouth of the gap, supported by Govan's foremost regiment in the ravine, I placed a section of Semple's battery--two Napoleon guns,--c in check by Dulin's skirmishers on the face of the left-hand hill, and the other skirmishers of Govan's brigade on the creek banks, and in the patch of woods to the left of the railroad.
