Colston had joined Rodes, and the combined forces, with a terrific yell, charged upouterments of war. These disordered the pursuing troops, and Rodes, when the darkness came on, finding himself entangled amongpital, and the command of the corps devolved temporarily on Rodes, who, under the circumstances, thought it advisable not to st under Hill, the second under Colson, and the third under Rodes, with cannon massed on heights so as to command much of the

Most of those who escaped, crossed the Potomac at Hanc 10. Still farther northward Ewell advanced in two columns, Rodes's division pushing on through Carlisle to Kingston, June 2he Confederates in charge. Two divisions of Ewell's Corps (Rodes's, 10,000 strong, and Early's, 9,000) had encamped the prevainder of Hill's was rapidly approaching. At the same time Rodes, with the advance division of Ewell's Corps, had hastened fdy in the struggle, and Early's division now joined that of Rodes. Howard, who had arrived in advance of his Corps, had leftf the town, which now seemed probable. at this juncture, Rodes, near the northern extremity of Seminary Ridge, occupied th back, and there was a general advance of the Confederates, Rodes dashed through the weak center of the National line, and, a

placed in great peril, between large bodies of the contending armies, who were about to fight. In front of his house General Rodes drew up fifteen thousand men in battle order, evidently with the design of bringing the mansion in range of the guns of the combatants, and thus effecting its destruction without its being done in evident wantonness. Botts went out to Rodes, told him that his house was filled with the women and children of the neighborhood (and his own family), who had sought shewarned him that, if these were all destroyed, the crime would rest forever as a stain on the Confederate general's name. Rodes was unwilling to incur the odium, and, changing his position, the mansion was saved.

s might have been crushed. But its presence was unsuspected, and that force was not brought to bear. Ewell's column was saved by Stewart's brigade instantly coming up and taking the place of Johnson's shattered column, and the timely arrival of Rodes's division at the scene of strife. These fresh forces at once took the offensive. It had been arranged for the right of Warren's line to be assisted by the left of Sedgwick's, under General Wright; but so difficult was the passage through the tacked by Ewell, while it was working its way into a position to support the Fifth, when the Confederates, after a severe struggle, were repulsed, and gave way between three and four o'clock with a loss of Generals Jones and Stafford killed. Then Rodes's division, led by General Gordon, made a furious charge that caused the advance of the Sixth to, recoil with loss, when, in a countercharge, the Confederates were driven with the loss of General Pegram, who was severely wounded. A general advan

by strong forces in advance of Lee's line. The former was checked at Tolopatomoy Creek, after a sharp encounter, by intrenched troops; and the latter encountered Rodes's division of Ewell's corps, with cavalry, reconnoitering near Bethesda Church. These struck the flank of Colonel Hardin's brigade, of the Pennsylvania Reserves, k to the Shady Grove road, when General Crawford brought up the remainder of the Reserves, and Kitching's brigade, and effectively repulsed an impetuous assault by Rodes, who attempted to turn Warren's left. This repulse enabled the Nationals to establish the left of their line on the Mechanicsville pike, not much more than seven miles from Richmond. To relieve General Warren, when first assailed by Rodes, Meade had ordered an attack along the whole line. Only Hancock received the order in time to act before dark. He moved forward, drove the Confederate pickets, and captured and held their rifle-pits. Meanwhile, Wright had formed on the left of Hancock

With from 15,000 to 20,000 troops of all arms, Composed of two infantry corps, under Breckinridge and Rodes, a division of cavalry under Ransom, and three batteries of artillery. he swept rapidly down the Valley toward Williamsport. Sigel, too weak to resist the avalancuntry, in the face of a terrible storm of shells, and charging Early's center furiously, carried his first line, and inflicted upon him the loss of the gallant General Rodes, who was killed. Early quickly hurled upon the assailing columns two of his most powerful divisions, hoping to succeed in his plan of breaking the line and seery, nine battle-flags, and all the rebel dead and wounded. It was estimated that Early lost about 1,000 men, besides the prisoners. Among his killed were Generals Rodes and Godwin. Sheridan's loss was about 3,000. Their wounded in Winchester amount to some three thousand. Early did not halt until he reached the very strong p
