He directed meto go back and form Biffles regiment in line of battle, and theninstruct Biffle to take his command around on our right, the enemysleft, and attack them in the rear. This I did, reporting at once toForrest of Biffles movements. General Fqrresl sent his escort on ourleft, and the enemys right to co-operate with Biffle in this nightattack in the rear. It was not long after Biffle started for the rearuntil I recognized that he was already in the rear of the enemy by a CAPTURE OF STREIGHT. ITS. / /
