n Bankhead Magruder. On the plains of Mexico he had won his first laurels. With consummate skill he fortified the historic peninsular from Yorktown to Mulberry Point, so that the foremost captain of the Federal army, with 100,000 men against 15,000, was halted and held at bay until Johnston's forces could march to the rescue. At Savage's station he attacked the rear guard of McClellan's army, and inflicted severe loss on the Federals. From that point he had moved with great alacrity to Timberlake's store, and was in position to deal a telling blow at Frazier's farm, when the order came to move to New Market.

The enemy, which was at least five to our one, was completely routed and driven back, with a loss of not less than from two to three hundred in killed and wounded. It may be said that at no period of this war have men acted with more coolness and with greater success than did the 53d on that occasion, and I would here state, in behalf of the officers, that I never saw men so perfectly cool and deliberate — giving commands cheerfully, and the men obeying willingly. The 53d was supported by the 3d Georgia and 6th South Carolina regiments, but not until all of the fighting was over, except the 3d Georgia may have fired a few scattering shots on the retreating enemy, and then in advance of our lines some two hundred yards. I am, sirs, very respectfully, your ob't sv't, J. C. Timberlake, Captain Commanding 53d Virginia Regiment.
