166.-fight at Blount's Mills, N. C.

The column not having closed up, I placed Belger's battery, commanded by Lieutenant Simpson, in position, and my two regiments of infantry and a squadron of cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant Beecher, in line to support them.
I then ordered the troops to bivouac for the night.
At daylight on the morning of the eighteenth, formed the line and continued the march without interru
