M. , we brought the last sec- tions of Bailey's 1st N. Y. Artillery from the field, the air being at this time literally filled with iron and lead. Returning rapidly to my 56th N. Y. , 11th Maine, and 52d Pa. , my anticipations here were re- alized ; being successful in turning our left flank, the enemy had opened a most destructive cross fire upon them, from the pieces near the redoubt, that had not been spiked, and this, with the fire from their imme- diate front, was no longer to be endured,... and they were withdrawn, and marched down the Nine Mile road, and placed in position, in rear of this road, about three hundred yards from the Seven Pines, where soon their services were required. In the meanwhile. Col. Neil, of the 23d Pa. , had come upon the ground occupied by Col. Dodge, and induced him to advance in front, and to the right of the position that had been assigned to him, whilst he, Col. Neil, occupied that which the 5 2d Pa. Vacated. But these dispositions were scarcely made, before the masses of the enemy broke through, and a few minutes sufficed to leave the half of Dodge's command upon the ground, and to force Neil precipitately from his posi- tion.
