General Johnson had marched from Drury's Bluff, in the dimmand with judgment and energy. Hagood and Johnson were thrown forward, with a section of Eschelnumber of prisoners, and, in conjunction with Johnson, five pieces of artillery—three 20-pounder Pae, as the occasion of a mistake by Ransom. Johnson, meanwhile, had been heavily engaged. The li sent two regiments from Clingman, to protect Johnson's flank. These partially partook of the sameefore they retired. In front of Hagood and Johnson the fighting was stubborn and prolonged.

Swinton, Army of the Potomac, p. 515.
