Bridge, which was occupied by Gen. Buford's cavalry at noon of that day; Sigel's advance, under Milroy, arriving late in the afternoon: when our army may be said to have been concentrated, facing to emy, with the division of Schurz forming his right, that of Schenck his left, and the brigade of Milroy between them, advanced, by order, at 5 A. M., and was fully engaged before 7; gaining ground by hard fighting till half past 10, when Milroy and Schurz had advanced a mile, and Schenck two miles, though obstinately resisted by the enemy. But the Rebel strength in their front was constantly incrt; and his troops immediately went in to the aid of the wasted and hungry commands of Schurz and Milroy, who were thus enabled to refill their cartridge boxes and obtain some much needed food and restalong the entire front, but struggling especially to overwhelm and turn our left, where Schenck, Milroy, and Reynolds, soon reenforced by Ricketts, maintained the unequal contest throughout the aftern

d moves northward cavalry fight near Fairfax Milroy, at Winchester, surprised and driven over the Baltimore, to whom Halleck had suggested that Milroy's position seemed perilous; he having too manyy had been stopped by a large Rebel force; but Milroy refused to credit the story; insisting that thorted the enemy advancing in force; whereupon, Milroy signaled McReynolds to join him, while he senthen a prisoner was taken who rather astonished Milroy by the information that he belonged to Ewell's thing that could be of use to the enemy. But Milroy held on, waiting for something to turn up, and the edge of the town, but were repulsed; when Milroy ordered a charge in turn, which amounted to lir's Ferry, and soon distanced their pursuers.

Perhaps the very darkest days that the Republic ever saw were the ten which just preceded the 4th of July, 1863--when our oft-beaten Army of the Potomac was moving northward to cover Washington and Baltimore — when Milroy's demolition at Winchester seemed to have filled the bitter cup held to our lips at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville — when tidings of the displacement of Hooker by Meade, just on the eve of a great, decisive battle, were received with a painful surprise by many sad, sinking hearts — when Grant was held at bay by Vicksburg and Banks by Port Hudson; while Rosecrans had for half a year stood still in Middle Tennessee. At this hour of national peril and depression, when the early appeara

au, with 8,000 men, in. Fortress Rosecrans, at Murfreesboroa: the railroad being further defended by a block-house at Overall's creek, five miles north, which was attacked Dec. 4. by Bate's division of Cheatham's corps, but firmly held till Gen. Milroy, with three or four regiments, came out from Murfreesboroa, and repelled the assailants. During the next three days, a division of Lee's corps and 2,500 of Forrest's cavalry reenforced Bate, and Fortress Rosecrans was threatened, but not reallling and charging Dec. 8. into Murfreesboroa, but being promptly driven out by a regiment of infantry. The Rebel cavalry moved hence north to Lebanon, and threatened to cross the Cumberland, but found it patroled by gunboats and drew off. Gen. Milroy, being this day sent out from Murfreesboroa with 7 regiments of infantry, attacked the Rebels on the Wilkeson pike, driving them and taking 207 prisoners, with 2 guns; losing 30 killed and 175 wounded.
