Up we go, Lieut Wilkin is the first man in the works in our front he seizes a fellow by the throat and with pistol at his head "cows" him. The old 31st flag is first in the works, and now we pursue the flying rebels, they halt, we charge and scatter them, take their battery, After pursuing them half mile along the ridge they turn upon us a fresh brigade attacks us, and we fall back but our new line is 200 yds in the rear we must fall back to it, In doing so I rec'd a ball in my leg hobbled off down the hill, got into a wagon and went to camp.
