It had 29 regiments of infantry, 3 companies of cavalry, and 8 batteries oflted at the edge of the woods, probably believing that there was a concealed foe somewhere in the depths of the forest. This Federal brigade was, possibly, Benjamin C. Christ's of Willcox's division — the same which had made the successful flank movement in the previous fight.

M. the advance of Longstreet's command arrived and reported to me--one brigade under Colonel G. T. Anderson and one under General Drayton. They were attached to Ripley's left, and a forward
