At six o'clock on i I id Friday evening they were within a mile I fi >d of the position of the enemy, wno were { v le | found to he strongly entrenched behind I a 11 j a strong abattix which extended a cross I ft f I the Heights. There was no possibility of j p j thinking theni, I ecause of a precipitous j w 'e . ledge of rocks on either side, and when ' A > | the line of bftllle was formed the next a e morning at ei^ht o'clock it was to ad- h I I vance directly in front of the formidable a it work*. The Regiments assigned to por- j fi rs | fi.rm iho dangerous wurk were the 7th | c< i and 8;h, but the latter being separated j b e j from its mate by a ledge of rock*, the | n >f main attack devolved upon the 7ill.? jd T, Titese charged over the ubuttit |wilh a b >1 ' \ eli, and in less than twenty minutes the j y p rtitioc. was carried. 1 The enemy, twelve hundred strong, as e slated bv a prisoner, attempted to check tl it, our men, but ojtce iij motion they never oi *1 , stopped until they saw the Federals fall ii n ing hack upon their principal line of de 1J n fence, live hundred yards in the rear? o: ?'

It was a position which com* r landed every portion of Harper's Kerry, K tid when we opened lire, every shot told ke tlie descent of a thunder bolt. Thus H enimed in, and suirounded as it weio | y n wall of fi e, the federals could make ^ Itle effective resistance, and on the morn- t| ig ol Monday the surrender took place / On Sunday night, however, Gen.
