undisturbed by any roar of peril, and be went
about hie task of arraying for the heavier
shock of conflict as calmly as if turning over
papers at his Senatorial desk. Ile formed his
arriving troops on a field about 200 yards in

their line of brittle; but, when %Vistar arrived,
be led them forward, and made full disposi

kassacbusetts men ho gave the right; to

bitter position or the left, from which the
heaviest fasilatle continued to pour. For a
while the exchanges were made at Fl range of
.100 611+800 yards, each party availing them
selves of the cover,of the woods, and the Cal-
It.rnians, after tiring, taking advantage of a
Mall wave of earth, which gave them a par
lindehniter of some two or three feet. This,
however, was in great part neutralized by the
sharpshooters of the enemy. pinny of whom

Bramhall and Lieut. French, both of whom
had been wounded, loaded and fired the piece
