Garnett (search for this): article 1
eparation the surmise seemed to be well- founded; but, although all were on the tip-toe of expectation, yesterday passed like many others without the realization of the much-looked for and desired event. Early in the day, cannonading both from our and the enemy's positions took place from the right, left and centre, but on the two latter points operations were nothing more than a fierce and artistic artillery duello, in which the enemy were decidedly worsted. Their artillery bearing upon Garnett's and Christian's farms were particularly active, and seemed anxious for a response.--This was not long in forthcoming, and they were accordingly shelled from their several positions with much case, and with evident loss. They repeatedly returned to the charge, however, yet our artillery received them with such accuracy as to drive them pell-mell into the woods, and the abandonment of camps to the right of the Mechanicsville Bridge. An artillery duel also took place upon the York River R

But not dismayed at this reception and their heavy loss, the brave men instantly dressed their line, dashed at Sickles's hirelings with the bayonet, and routed them. Still opposed to numbers greater than their own, the 1st Louisiana was quickly supported we are informed, by the 3d, 4th and 22d Georgia regiments, of Wright's brigade, who held a large force of the foe at bay for two hours, before our forces were got into position, and appalled the enemy by their formidable front. Except in the 1st Louisiana, we hear of few casualties, and this arose from the fact that they were the victims of a trap laid by the Yankees and were too heroic to fall when discovering it. Col Shivers, Maj. Nellegan, and many men, were wounded--Lieut. Gilmore and some others being killed. This loss arose purely from an esprit du c

Col Shivers, Maj. Nellegan, and many men, were wounded--Lieut. Gilmore and some others being killed. This loss arose purely from an esprit du corps, which prompted them to remain and stand fast, though opposed by vastly superior numbers. It is said, however, that when the Louisianians closed their broken ranks, and charged upon the enemy's masses, that it was so terrible that they gave way in disorder. This conduct is perhaps akin to that which extracted the expression of Gen. Gosquet when witnessin
