Several of our disarms were blown up by their rockets, which did some injury and deprived our cannon of a-m munition. The lines were so near thac cannon could not be used with advantage This morning General Ripley marched out our whole force to the battle ground, to bu-y our dead, and scenic what wounded were left. enemy had gotten many who were badly wounded and left on the ground.

He marched near their army, but neither were disposed to engaga. We took a-bout 200 non-commissioned officers and privates prisoners, and twenty one oncers, including maj. gen. Rial, who was wounded in the shoulder. They acknowledge col.
