		This brought his regiment into a line of battle and also placed them directly on the flank of Davis' brigade, who was pursuing their attack on the flank of Cutler.
		Hitherto there had been skirmishing and artillery practice - now the battle began; for amid the heavier smoke and larger tongues of flame of the batteries, now began to appear the countless flashes, and the long fiery sheets of the muskets, and the rattle of the volleys, mingled with the thunder of the guns.
