ds. Our left was comparatively free; our right very assailable. They outnumbered us probably two to one. The plan was to rest our left on the batteries extending from battery Robinette, our centre on the slight ridge north of the houses, and our right on the high ground, covering both the Pittsburgh and Purdy roads, while it also covered the ridge roads between them leading to their old camps. McKean had the extreme left. Stanley, with his well-tried division batteries, Williams and Robinette, the Memphis Railroad and the Chewalla road extending nearly to the Columbus road. Davies's tried division was placed in the centre, which was retired, reaching to battery Powell, Hamilton's staunch fighting division was on the right with Dillon's battery, supported by two regiments posted on the prolongation of Davies's line. The design of General Hamilton was to use the hill where the batteries stood against an approach from the west, where Sullivan found the enemy on the last evenin

fixed for them, unaware. They reckon they've got us now! For the next half-hour 'twill be warm-- Ay, ay, look yonder!--I vow, If they weren't secesh, how I'd love them I Only see how grandly they form, (Our eagle whirling above them,) To take Robinette by storm! They're timing!--it can't be long-- Now for the nub of the fight! (You may guess that we held our breath,) By the Lord, 'tis a splendid sight! A column two thousand strong Marching square to the death! On they came, in solid column, ounded away! And the Minies hummed to remind 'em They had started on no child's play! Steady they kept a-going, But a grim wake settled behind 'em-- From the edge of the abattis, (Where our dead and dying lay Under fence and fallen tree,) Up to Robinette, all the way The dreadful swath kept growing! 'Twas butternut, flecked with gray. Now for it, at Robinette! Muzzle to muzzle we met-- (Not a breath of bluster or brag, Not a lisp for quarter or favor)-- Three times, there, by Robinette, With a

among the wounded. In front of Battery Robinette, at the Federal center, the fighting was terrific. Gates' brigade was first engaged in this vicinity, and Cabell was ordered up to his support, but Gates fell back for want of ammunition after gaining the enemy's works. Then Cabell went up with a yell of Butler, drove in the troops before the works and swept up to the cannons' mouths, but was then driven back under a withering fire. Rosecrans related that three assaults were made upon Robinette, and that the last, which he witnessed, was about as good fighting on the part of the Confederates as I ever saw. The columns were plowed through and through by our shot, but they steadily closed up and moved forward until they were forced back. The field was covered with dead and dying, and the Confederate forces were exhausted. Many of the regiments were without either ammunition or rations. It was evident that the attack had failed, and preparations were at once made for retreat.
