e field. The first, however, was the mortal wound which laid the hero and noble patriot in the grave. He died the following day. When the enemy was seen approaching through the swamp on the right, it was evident that the battery could be held no longer, and immediate preparations were made to fall back. Rallying his men around him Col. Anderson retired about three hundred yards, to the reserve, consisting of four companies, under Capts Wallace, Derman, Morris, and Lieut. Durham under Adjutant Blocker. He at once gets the order to fall in, and they promptly rallied to protect the reserve, and stood firm until every man had passed by, some of them perfectly panic-stricken. The 60th fell in promptly, in an orderly manner, and marched immediately to the rear. The reserve was ordered to form by companies, fire by companies, and protect the retreat until another sand could be made. The 31st North Carolina, at once ran to their quarters, Col.

Burnside has said that he did not commence the attack until fifteen thousand men had been landed, and that there were ten thousand more in the ships to land if required. Nine regiments of the land force were brought against the battery, behind which we had about four hundred men; and it was not until they had fought near five hours, and were flanked on either side, that they were forced to retire.
