When our cavalry arrived on they, four light twelve-pounder Napoleon guns; a section of two ten-pounder Parrott guns, under Captain Rogers, and one ten-pounder Parrott gun, under Captain Anderson; and on the hill in front of Generaptain Miller was silenced in about forty minutes, notwithstanding the long-range guns under Captains Rogers and Anderson, on the left, had shortly after the commencement of the engagement been withdry in their retreat.
