s which brought them here, while their friends and companions in arms are in the midst of such stirring scenes elsewhere. I have not seen in the service finer troops than those stationed here.

But the majority pushed on to a point near the late site of Germantown, where Lieutenant Brisbane had formed a line of Hunt's Artillery across the road, and repulsed all who attempted to break through.
