Their line of battle extended some distance beyond Barksdale's house, which is on the Forest road, and their right to the foot of Candler's Mountain, which is one mile southeast of the Salem turnpike, forming nearly a straight line, being an average of about two and a hall miles from the suburbs of the city.--The heaviest demonstration was made on the Salem pike, where some fifty or sixty of their dead still lie unburied.
