Drummond's order and plan of attack. The night was dark and the early part of it raining, but the faithful centinel slept not; one third of the troops were up at their posts. At lialf past 2 o'clock^ the right column of the enemy approached, and fliough enveloped in darkness, black as his designs and princi- ples, * was distinctly heard on our left, and promptly ^j marked by our musketry under Major Wood, and can- non under Captain Towson. Being mounted at the moment, I repaired to the point of... attack, where th$ sheet of fire rolling from Towsoii's battery, and the musketry of the left wing of the 25th infantry under Major Wood, enabled me to see the enemy's column of about 1500 men approaching on that point; his advance •was not checked until it had approached within ten feet of our infantry. A line of loose brush representing an ahattis only intervened. A column of the enemy at- tempted to pass round the abattis through the water where it was nearly hreast deep. Apprehending that this point would be carried, I ordered a detachment of riflemen and infantry to its support, but having met with the gallant commander, Major Wood, was assur- ed by him that he could defend his position without re- inforcements.
