The regiments were then withdrawn, for the most part in column, after reaching the edge of the town, through which they passed in good order. I immediately dispatched a message to Colonel Donnelly to withdraw his brigade by the east side of the town.

This was successfully done, and the rebels were received with repeated volleys, which greatly cheeked their advance.
