Battery C
The firing was brisk on both sides for a short time, when a retreat was ordered, the battery covering. On falling back to the hill before mentioned a halt was made; the battery reopened fire and shelled in several directions. On the advance of the skirmishers toward a wood about a mile distant the enemy opened a brisk fire from the edge of the wood, when the battery again opened fire from a 10-pounder Parrot, shelling the enemy with such good effect that he very soon left the wood. Soon night came on and the firing ceased.
