Down a steep hill, columns of riot police, in black helmets and bearing metal shields, descended on Independence Square, popularly known as Maidan (square), from three directions.
The rebel forces seemed half phantom; they were reported everywhere, lurking in the hills, columns coming from the west and the north.

Hill used this column approximately one week later to attack Fielding and criticise Amelia.
This is America, Scoop, and only cub reporters have to stoop to, "When last spotted, the Valley Express was going over the hill" to get column space.
Hill divided his column, with two brigades moving southeast to guard his flank and the other three, about 2,000 men, moving to the right of Toombs's brigade and preparing for a counterattack.
