This was about noon.

I ordered him to send one brigade (General John E.Smith's was selected) to support Osterhaus, and to move to the left and flank the enemy out of his position.

This movement carried the brigade over a deep ravine to a third ridge and, when Smith's troops were seen well through the ravine, Osterhaus was directed to renew his front attack.

It was successful and unattended by heavy loss.

The enemy was sent in full retreat on their right, and their left followed before sunset.
