ed to the front and right of the artillery, on the brow of the hill, at whose base the enemy had his line of battle. Col. Williams's Kentucky regiment was placed on the same hill, protecting the right of Col. Moore's regiment. Thus posted, the 29th Virginia Regiment; but our boys were calm and ready. For two long hours the enemy poured upon Cols. Moore and Williams's regiments a perfect storm of hall, which our boys received with coldness, and responded to with such terrible fires th the field or die. Again we opened fires with double energy. Now the battle raged along the whole brow of the hill. Col. Williams fought like a tiger. Twice the enemy tried to flank him; twice they were repulsed. The cavalry having dismounted and dying were truly heart-rending. Our loss is five killed and four wounded in Col. Moore's regiment, and four killed and five wounded in Col. Williams's regiment. The enemy's is from 400 to 500 killed, and about the same number wounded.
