Batteries 11 and 12 were also captured. Some of our troops reached the military railroad and telegraph about a mile and a half in rear of Ft. Steadman, but the commander of one of the storming columns was wounded, and the guide of another column lost his way. The forts to be attacked were found to be of different character than at first sup- posed, and required a change of disposition for proper at- tack. The result was that the attacks upon the three forts were disjointed, and although gallant...ly made were repulsed with loss. Owing to the breaking down of the railroad, or other cause, the troops from Longstreet did not arrive on the field, in time. Waiting for them delayed the attack nearly an hour, so that when made the plan of operation against these forts could not be exe- cuted before daylight, as had been intended. The enemy after the first alarm and surprise quickly concentrated and in an hour or so our troops were driven into Ft. Steadman — Hare's Hill as it is called in the Confederate accounts — and the space immediately around it, although they had handsomely repulsed several of the first at- tempts to drive them from the captured works.
