Among our wos our weak point — was defeated by Merritt's cavalry brigade, then coming up from Emmitsburg with intent to strike the rear and flank of the Rebel right, and by Farnsworth's brigade, which was guarding our own flank in that quarter. Gregg's division watched our right flank, confronted by Stuart. No important advantage was gained on either side; but a considerable infantry force under Hood seems to have been neutralized, during the grand assault, by the sturdy efforts of Merritt and Farnsworth, which were held to indicate that a strong infantry force was behind them, ready to strike heavily and attempt to turn the Rebel right. The battle being over, Pl

stol in hand, ordered my skirmishers to surrender, to which they replied with a volley. The cavalry commander and his horse and one of his men fell to the ground, and the others dashed away. The lieutenant commanding the skirmishers, with a repeating rifle in his hands, then sprang forward and said to the wounded officer, who still grasped his pistol and was trying to raise, Now you surrender! to which he replied, I will not do it ; and placing the pistol to his own head, shot his brains out. I halted my regiment, as the cavalry were gone, but did not go to the dead man, who lay not more than forty steps in my front, until one of the skirmishers brought me his shoulder straps, from which I discovered that he was a general. I then went to the body, and on examination found one or two letters in his pockets addressed to. General E. J. Farnsworth. I was soon ordered to another part of the field, and left the body where it fell. William. C. Oates. Abbeville, Alabama, April 6th, 1878.

hosen and prepared ground. Pleasanton was not slow in bringing up his brigade, and immediately attacked him, notwithstanding the disproportion of numbers. The Eighth Illinois, led by Colonel Farnsworth, a distinguished officer, whose career was to be soon cut short by a glorious death, John F. Farnsworth, of the Eighth Illinois, is still living, and was lately a member of Congress. He was promoted to brigadier-general November 29, 1862. The author has confounded him with Brigadier-General E. J. Farnsworth, of Michigan, killed at Gettysburg.—Ed. gallantly charged on the left on the Warrenton road, but was stopped by a barricade which had been raised across it. On the Chester Gap road to the right the Federals steadily waited for their adversaries, whom they received with a well-sustained fire, which threw their ranks into confusion. At the same time, Colonel Davis, ordering the Eighth New York to draw their sabres, threw himself upon their flank, and after a hand-to-hand fight o

Kilpatrick and Farnsworth, returning with the Fifth New York, charge the Confederattysburg road: he immediately deploys his two brigades. Farnsworth is on the right; Custer is forming in front of the enemy form a junction with Gregg's division, and will go with Farnsworth's brigade to take position on the left, where Merritt wid's division.

A brisk combat takes place in the streets. The Federals, despite their losses, gain some ground, while Kilpatrick, who has just arrived with Custer's brigade, is prepar. The main body of the division follows the James City road, which ascends the northern extremity of Thoroughfare Mountain. Kilpatrick awaits the enemy in that position with his second brigade, which Colonel Davies commands since the death of Farnsworth; General Prince, who, with a division of the Third corps, is encamped between Griffinsburg and James City, sends him the Onehundred-and-twentieth New York.
