The day was won. The blood and bravery of Heintzelman’s stout fellows won it. The plaudits of a grateful country be with them! It was the boidsst and grandest charge of the war. Tho honor of all history must be with them. THE REBEL ADVANCE. Very triumphantly the rebel hordes advanced.

We had suffered severely in killed b ) ; bat few of our number had been taken ‘the fight Was too desperate, and the field hotly contested un both sides to provent any yielding save in death. Tho bravery (for I scarce know what else- to call it) of the robels must be admitted. Whether they were intoxicated er not, as in tho seven days’ battles, J cannot say, but I would ‘not be greatly surprised if euch should ultimately prove true. Many of them had thrown aside their coats and jackets, and entered the contest with an Irish dash and reckiessness. Many of our men had not had mouthful to eat since morning, but there was no indication at any point in our line either of wa- vering or woakness. It was whispered the ranks in the pauses of the oonfilot, when the reverberations of the cannon, bushing momeniari allowed an articulate shout to be heard, that Franklin was coming te our aid from Alexandria and tho men wore I. Under such circumstunove the order ‘Fall back! fall back!” came like a thunder clap to every ear, Bach countenance drooped.
