n. More troops came to our aid and took a hand in the fight. A new line of troops from different commands was formed at an obtuse angle from this fighting line to stay the progress of the enemy on our right; but no sooner was it formed than it was swept away by the enemy's deadly fire. The 16th Massachusetts, one of my regiments here on the left of my brigade, lost heavily, and its brave commander, Waldo Merriam, was killed. Here, also, Thomas W. Eayre, Assistant Adjutant-General of General Mott's staff, was killed. It was in our immediate front that the large tree was cut down by rifle-balls, the stump of which was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia. As night closed about us, the moment we would slacken fire the enemy would close in upon us, so determined were they to carry this point. Had they succeeded in driving us from it, all we had gained that morning would have been lost. Not till about 3 o'clock on the morning of the 13th did the battle cease.
