Of Colonel Mcintosh's Brigade there were present but three regiments, and one of these, the ist Maryland, was placed by me at the intersection of the Low Dutch and Hanover Roads to guard that flank. But six I'nion re^'iments iiarticipated, nut exceeding 3, 000 men. The enemy had the advantage in position, occupying the higher grounds and concealed from our view by the screen of woods. A pressing forward of the skirmishers of the ist New Jersey compelled a reinforcement of the Rebel line and an ...opening of fire by a battery, and soon the ist New Jersey, 3d Pennsylvania, 5th and 6th Michigan became hotly engaged. It is not my intention to give in detail all the phases of contention in that part of the field. The enemy was forced to employ one brigade after another until all were engaged. His batteries were replied to by Randols and Pennington's with great accuracy and effect. A charge of the ist \'irginia was met by the 7th Michigan, but a stone fence prevented their striking, and the halt exposed the former to a withering fire from the flanks, as well as from the front.
