The greeting he met with from General Potter and all the other officers who bad assembled at headquarters was of the most hearty and sincere description.

It was the howitzer that astonished thom, perhaps, and admonished them to “get out of the way,’ and scatter before the ‘advancing hosts,’ consisting at this time of General Nagiee and not more than forty dashing horsemen.
