I was in the rear of the centre of my line when this attack commenced; therefore I did not see all of the columns that attacked and turned my right; but it may be safely estimated that the rebel force outnumbered ours three to one. After leaving my line of battle, the ground in the rear was, first, open fields; second, woods — then a dense cedar-thicket; and ov
