h of the Chickahominy, extending beyond Mechanicsville, and the approaches from the south side were strongly defended by intrenchments. Our army was around Richmond. The divisions of Huger and Magruder, supported by those of Longstreet and D. H. Hill, in front of the enemy's left, and that of A. P. Hill extending from Magruder's left beyond Meadow Bridge. The command of General Jackson, including Ewell's division, operating in the Shenandoah Valley, had succeeded in diverting the army of McDowell, at Fredericksburgh, from uniting with that of McClellan. To render this diversion more decided, and effectually mask his withdrawal from the valley at the proper time, Jackson, after the defeat of Fremont and Shields, was reinforced by Whiting's division, composed of Hood's Texas brigade and his own, under Colonel Law, from Richmond, and that of Lawton, from the South.

s army, under Major-General Ewell, the Sixth and Second Virginia cavalry were attached to his division. Our regiments had just been reorganized, and, as the senior cavalry officer, I had the outpost. My Headquarters were at Swift Run Gap, and my pickets extended from Culpeper Court-House to the mountains on the east side of the Blue Ridge, and from near Harrisonburgh to Wolftown on the west. A heavy scout was kept watching Geary's command, who was marching on Fredericksburgh to reenforee McDowell. After Shields had passed Warrenton, my regiment was, for the first time, assembled; finding over one hundred unarmed recruits added to my regiment, I was sent to Richmond to get arms, and while en route for that place, General Jackson started after Banks. I joined his command at Winchester, and reported for duty. The Sixth and Second cavalry were then under the command of Brigadier-General George H. Stewart. My regiment had been employed in tearing up the railroad near Front Royal, (Li

Of the First North Carolina, Colonel Stokes was mortally and Lieutenant-Colonel McDowell severely wounded, and Major Skinner killed, with six Captains and Lieutenants of the regiment killed and wounded, including the Adjutant. The Forty-eighth Georgia and Third North Carolina had a more advantageous position, and suffer have sealed their devotion with their lives.

But having just seen two intercepted despatches from Pope to McDowell, ordering the formation of his line of battle for the next day, on Manassas Plains, I deemed it best to push on and join advancing from Gainesville, and soon after himself brought in a courier captured by him, bearing a despatch from Major-General McDowell to Major-General Sigel. I immediately sent the courier and despatch to Brigadier-General Taliaferro and Major-Ge he was taken prisoner, and I lost his services, which were valuable. The intercepted despatch was an order from Major-General McDowell to Major-General Sigel and Brigadier-General Reynolds, conveying the order of attack on Manassas Junction.
