We smashed a Rebel brigade 91

The Johnnies did not notice our brigade but thought they wer alarmd our extreme left wing and was looking at the troops that they felt sure of capturing. When they got just sight our brigade opened with artillery and small arms raking thair line tremendiously. They now saw thair mistake but to late to back out, so they had to surender and throw down their arms. There was a wholy brigade and but few of them got away. There was five stand of collars takin. The numbers of prisoners was heavy but we did not learn how many. It was a South Carolina brigade. The Genl swore he would not surender to any d--d yankee, so he was wounded and laid on a stretcher quite docile. They lost heavy in killed and wounded.

22d Our picket line advanced into thair old position but did not find any force. We found a few straglers.
