n front and in rear beyond it, Captain J. H. M. Wath, Captain S. E. Bell, Captain T. H. Holcomb, Captain W. M. Reatton, Lieutenant A. B. Cohen, commanding company. Lieutenant A. N.

The Eleventh Alabama retired, as above stated, to the right of the road into the pine woods, and there, together with the Ninth and Tenth Alabama, remained. From this position, the battery on the right of the road was in full view, and not more than one hundred yards distant. The enemy made no effort to retake this battery, though their infantry continued to fire at long range upon our men then in the pine woods. The Eighth Alabama, as

The Thirteenth Georgia regiment also advanced to the railroad and crossed it to my right.

This was the last attempt made by the enemy on the afternoon of Friday, the twenty-ninth, to get possession of the line of
