The plan which was thus admirably devised, on the spur of the moment, by Colonel Glover, was quite as admirably and quite as successfully executed by the soldiers of his command -- Colonel Eead and his Regiment were concealed behind a stone wall, on the left side of the road; Colonel Shepard's Regiment was concealed behind "a fine double stone wall." on the opposite side of the road, and in the rear of Colonel Read's command ; Colonel Baldwin and his Regiment were similarly posted, on the right and in the rear of Colonel Shepard's command; and Captain Curtis, with Colonel Glover's own Regiment, was similarly posted where the field-pieces had been left, some distance in the rear ; the Captain and his command who had been thrown out, in front, having, meanwhile, evidently held the enemy's advance in check and successfully masked the very important movements of the Brigade, on their rear.

When the disposition of the Brigade had been thus successfully and satisfactorily effected, Colonel Glover rode forward to the Company whom he had employed as a mask, and personally assumed the command of it -- the name of the Captain who had so boldly confronted the enemy and held him in check, before the Colonel had completed the disposition of the main body of the Brigade, behind the very convenient stone walls, on his rear, has not been recorded -- ordering it to advance toward the enemy ; which was promptly done. When it had marched to " within fifty yards" of the place where the enemy had halted, the latter opened his fire, without, however, inflicting any loss on his assailants ; and the latter returned the fire, killing or seriously wounding four of the enemy -- " we returned the fire and fell four of them," are the quaint words of Colonel Glover, in his description of the opening of this spirited affair.
