storm the nearer hill, La Federacion^ and then a fort called La Soldada ^dhout six hundred yards beyond the first, the two guarding effectually all the approaches to the city. This command consisted of four companies (K, 2d, B, 3d, and G and H, 4th artillery) of th'e ar- tillery battalion, and Greene's, McGowan's, R. A. Gil- lespie's, Chandler's, Ballowe's, and McCulloch's com- panies of Texan riflemen, under Major Chevalier, acting in co-operation — in all about three hundred effectives. It wa...s impossible to mask the movement of the storm- ing party. The enemy threw into the command a har- assing fire, which being seen, a support of two companies of the 7th was thrown forward, and the enemy gradually driven after a hard contest up the hill. At this time re- inforcements to the Mexican force on the brow of the hill were seen approaching, and the whole 5th and Blanchard's company were ordered forward under Gen- eral P. F. Smith. As he advanced General Smith dis- covered that he could without great difficulty make an attack on La Soldada, which with the 5th, 7th, and Blanchard's company he did.
