The Americans having been in front of the enemy, from an early hour, in the morning, all the day, without food or drink, " at dark," they fell back, three miles, and bivouaced -- " after fighting all day, with- "out victuals or drink, lay as a picquet, all night, the " heavens over us, and the earth under us, which was " all we had, having left all our baggage at the old " encampment we left in the morning," are Colonel Glover's words, concerning that portion of his Brigade's movements -- and, on the morning of Saturday, the nineteenth of October, they marched to the Mile Square, on the western side of the Bronx, in the Town of Yonkers.*

The strength of the Brigade commanded by Colonel Glover has been already stated, in detail, from official sources ; and, because Colonel Glover would not have left the encampment and all the baggage and stores of the Brigade without a sufficient guard, there is an evident truthfulness in his statement that he carried from his encampment only "about seven " hundred and fifty men and three field-pieces." But, in the same connection, it must be remembered that the two Regiments commanded, respectively, by Colonel's Read and Shepard, sustained almost the entire attacks of the enemy -- Colonel Baldwin fell back, without having sustained any other than an artillery-fire; and Captain Curtis only saw the enemy, in the distance, on the other side of the valley-- and that, therefore, the number of Americans who were actually engaged did not, probably, exceed four hundred rank and file. The strength of the enemy who was actually engaged has not been stated by any of the foreign authorities ; and we can do no more than state the facts which are well-authenticated, and to draw our conclusions !rom them.
