Burbridge with the troops of his district, after driving the enemy from Clinch Mountain and Laurel Gap, met him three miles and a half from Saltville and forced him back into his intrenchments around the saltworks. Burbridge then deployed and attacked, driving the Confederates from their works on their right and center and checking them on their left. A destructive artillery fire finally compelled the enemy to fall back to his main works, but the artillery ammunition had about given out by evening and during the night.
