Tue rebels pushed forward with de- termined obstinacy, and held every inch of the eround they gained. They endeavored to outflank our inferier foree, a ul we were obliged te fall hack still further to prevent this movement from being accomplished. ‘The enemy were now inside our breastworks, pushing us backward toward the town, when darkness put an end to the fighting for the day. During the day’s fight our loss was | heavy, but that of the enemy must have largeh exceeded ours. Three pieces ofthe Ist Missouri | battery were captured; Brig. Gen.

About four o'clock om the morning ef the 4th the enemy opened briskly on the town with shot and shell. Our batteries replied, and for an hour or more heavy eannonading was keptup. At the expiration of that time two rebel guns bad been disabled, and shortly after daylight their battery of seven guns was captured A portentous quiet soon occurred, and it was evident some movement was being made by the enemy. The Western sharpshooters, under Col. Burke, were ordered forward as skirmishers to feel the enemy. At) hali-past nine they tet him three-fourths of a mile in advance of our line of battle, advancing rapidly in heavy columns upon the town. Immediately a, murderons fire was opened on this heavy line by our skirmishers, who slowiv began to retire. | The woods seemed alive with rebels, and it ap- ! peared impossible for the gallant regiment to es-! cape destruction in their retreat aver three quar- ters of & mile which intervened between them and our temporary werks of defence.
