ABATIS AND DEFENDER IN THE COPYRIGmT, on, PAIR DITCH OT pyB body of men, knew from the shouts even beforehe saw the flag upon the breastworks that thewedge had been driven home. Leaving behindtheir own dead and wounded lying mingled withthe bodies of the brave defenders, without wait-ing for orders, men from each division of theSixth Corps pressed ahead, broke up the SouthSide Railroad and cut the telegraph wires.
