On the other flank another Northern force which also had crossed the creek attacked with fire and spirit.
But the battle still swayed back and forth.

Hertford and his cavalry were thrown off, merely to return anew to the charge.

A portion of the Northern force was driven back on the creek.

The strong Southern batteries poured forth death.

Dick felt that they might yet lose, but they suddenly heard a tremendous cheer, and a fresh force coming up at the double quick enabled them to sweep the field.
