. The enemy's next attack was still farther to the left. At this time General A. P. Hill's brigades were posted from right to left, in this order: Gregg's, Field's, Thomas's, Branch's, Pender's, and Archer's. On the left (of the line) was Captain Braxton's battery of six guns; to the right of General Archer's brigade was Captain Crenshaw's battery of four guns; and to its right, to the left and rear of General Branch's brigade, was Captain Latham's battery of four guns, commanded by Lieutenant Potts. About two o'clock P. M., the enemy made an assault upon the front of Generals Thomas, Branch, and Field, which, of course, (as was the case with his former and subsequent attacks,) was preceded and accompanied by a heavy shelling of the adjacent woods. He also brought up two rifle guns on his right, which opened on the position occupied by General Branch's brigade, in a clump of woods, while his infantry attempted to charge across the field in front. Their guns were speedily driven

s were following them in quick time, and their artillery so posted on a neighboring and very convenient ridge and so served as to add death and terror to the terrific assaults. As his left was enveloped, Smith brought Hall's brigade, helped by Potts's, to better shelter, but lost 250 men and two field guns captured at the extreme point. It was hard maneuvering in such a storm! Now over the south and east of these trenches, made to face the other way, the soldiers were arratged. They thuold them back for a while. But there was hardly time to turn around. The attack swept in from the opposite quarter. Behind the main line of trenches, and also across the refused part, Hall's brigade was formed to face the foe, partly covered. Potts's brave men made a second line behind Hall's, without cover, and were ready to protect his left flank or to support him directly. I have never known better conduct in battle. Again the Confederates were repulsed with heavy loss or flew to th

lry as they ran back; when the Confederate rear guard was crossing the river our men soon had possession of the hill where the Fayetteville arsenal was situated. Just as the last Confederate horseman was clearing the bridge over the Cape Fear, Potts's brigade, the leading one of Smith's division, arrived on the field. Potts first took position on Arsenal Hill, and then quickly deployed his skirmishers along the river bank under instructions to make every endeavor to save the bridge. But thPotts first took position on Arsenal Hill, and then quickly deployed his skirmishers along the river bank under instructions to make every endeavor to save the bridge. But the preparation for its destruction was too complete. The Confederates placed their cannon in a good position on the farther shore, and shelled out skirmishers, regardless of the houses of Fayetteville, while the long bridge was bursting into brilliant flame. As our columns came in from the south roads, Slocum's leading corps, the Fourteenth, entered the town from the northwest. The mayor, doubtless having been attracted by Captain Duncan's daring raid to the southern part of the town, haste
