They fell back of coarse. Meanwhile, the enemy bad come around tbe * blufl termination of tbe mountain, and flanked J our force.

Upon tbe discovery that tbe enemy were 3 greatly superior In numbers, our force fell back in gcod order about y o'clock, having given tbe ' rebels at least a Roland for their Oliver. Our * Ioh amounted to 37 killed and 100 wounded That of the enemv was believed to be much larger, from tbe fact that our men Mring up bill, we-e more accurate In their aim, and on account of tbe terrible execution of the shells thrown from our batteries.
