s at this juncture that Longstreet turns his attention, for the first time, toward his left, and perceiving Hancock, thinks of dislodging him. He sends against him Early's brigade, the commander of which was destined, like his young adversary, to play an important part during the remainder of the war. Seeing the Federals fall back upon the farthest redoubt, Early's soldiers imagine that they are already in flight and rush upon them; but being received at point-blank range by a well-directed fire, they are driven back in disorder. The Federals, urged on by the valiant Hancock, pursue them sword in hand. It is now five o'clock—the moment when Kearny comes ine was a first ordeal to most of the troops engaged on both sides; it showed how much the spirit of the two armies had been improved since the beginning of the war.

port, were about to lose in an instant all the advantages obtained by their courage. A portion of Archer's brigade was, in fact, making a bold stand on the extreme Confederate right; the soldiers of Lane, Gregg and Brockenborough rallied at the appeal of their officers, and there were three strong divisions in their rear that had not yet been in action, which were hastening to their relief. Whilst Paxton's brigade of Taliaferro's division was advancing and stopping the Federals in front, Early, who on this occasion commanded Ewell's division, fell upon their left flank with three brigades. It was impossible to withstand any longer such superior forces; the Union general Jackson was killed while vainly endeavoring to stem the tide of the advancing foe, whose forces were four or five times as great as Meade's soldiers.
