Our men became very anxious to fire upon them and Col. Stuart, who was above the breastwork fearlessly observing their approach, found it difficult to restrain them.

Magruder had taken up the line of march for the expected battle field. For some hours everything remained in quiet suspense, when suddenly a sharp report from the rifle of a scout, announced the arrival of the enemy. At three m
