Mechanicsville

All the pickets were now called in, and the regiment and battery at Mechanicsville were withdrawn.

Our pickets were forced back upon the main line, and the battle of Mechanicsville commenced.

At Spier Falls the head is 80 feet, and at Mechanicsville it is 18 feet.

They faced about, drove the cavalry, fell back to Mechanicsville, followed by the pickets.

We learned afterward that the sound came from Mechanicsville, occupied this day by the advance of McClellan's right.
