Hays, division commander, forded the river on foot, accompanied by Gen. Owen, brigade commander. The crossing was effected by fording waist deep, under the cheering excitement of picket firing from the approaching banks; but about 25 the rebels, including three officers, flanked by our rapidly moving forces, surrenderen, the line constantly wavering as it swayed forward and backward, delivering and receiving a heavy and galling fire, was maintained until dark. At that period two regiments came up to their support, shortly after which Col. Baird reported to General Owen that the 55 rounds of ammunition had been exhausted by his command. He was then ordered to withdraw his skirmishers to the rear of the line of battle. About ten o'clock the entire command recrossed the Rapidan. The loss of the 126th was abo

Owen's brigade moved obliquely and came up on the left of Col. Smyth's, so that the four brigades went in together. There was nearly a mile of ground to traverser side have been obliged to lay low themselves, however high they might pitch their voices. On the line of Gen. Gibbons's division, two companies belonging to Owen's brigade, forgetting the maxim that discretion is the better part of valor, rushed forward in advance of their comrades, and succeeded in entering the enemy's entove, viz: 4,000 in killed, wounded, and missing. About 9 P. M. the enemy made a charge on our left, attacking the portion of our line held by Col. Smith's and Owen's brigades, of Gibbon's division, 2d corps, and also Col.

The line of battle extended from about half a mile above the toll gate (two and a half miles from Lynchburg,) on the Lynchburg and Salem turn pike, moving in a direction a little west of north, including portions of the land of Dr. Owen, Charles Moorman, John B. Lee, H. S. Barksdale, and terminating on the farm of Seth Halsey, near the Blackwater creek. The distance embraced by this line must be two and a half to three miles.

I never witnessed such a sight as when the orphans came to bid their father good-bye.

They all gathered around the Bishop, and when the boat came and rang the bell to leave, they all fell on their knees, and, for the last time, the poor Bishop gave them his blessing. Oh, I wish you c
