Heth's Division was already hotly engaged, and it wa had meanwhile been advanced to relieve that of Heth; and Rodes, observing the effect of Early's atteet's Corps, was then up, fresh and available. Heth's Division, of Hill's Corps, was also mentioned him. Orders were sent to General Hill to place Heth's Division and two brigades of Pender's at Gene's, now commanded by General Lane, and to order Heth's Division, commanded by Pettigrew, and Lane's rd Corps)-the latter, since the wounding of General Heth, commanded by General Pettigrew-and thy briigades of.
