opened upon him, silencing his battery completely. Our fire was directed by Major Whiting, of the staff. Sunday, ineffectual attempts were made during the day to repair the bridge, but the enemy keeping up a distant and random fire of shell about the crossing, the men would not work. During the afternoon the furious battle of Frazier's Farm was raging between the enemy and the troops of General Longstreet. It could be distinctly heard, and was scarcely two miles from us. Our delay at White Oak was unfortunate. Next morning, the enemy having retired, the bridge was repaired, and the troops passed my division in the advance. Marching by the road to Turkey Bridge, on-- road, we presently fell in with the line of skirmishers of Major-General Magruder's troops, moving in line of battle by the Charles City road.

General Hood put forward the first Texas and Hampton's legion. Men were leaving the field in every direction, and in great disorder; two regiments, one from South Carolina and one from Louisiana, were actually marching back from the fire. The first Texas was ordered to go over them and through them, which they did. The remainin onset. Colonel Upson, Captain Frobel, and Captain Tansill were among the foremost in the fray. Here, also, as in many previous battles, Captain Vander Horst, of S. C., gave a notable example. Major Randolph, by special order, remained with the ammunition. Though not on my staff, I should not do right not to mention the chivalrous daring of young Major Haskill, of South Carolina, belonging, as I am told, to the staff of General D. R. Jones. His personal bearing in a most deadly fire, his example and directions, contributed not a little to the enthusiasm of the charge. I regret to say that this brave young officer received a terrible wound from a shell

Finding the bridge destroyed, and that the enemy had some force and a battery on the other side, we were halted and drawn up in line of battle on the left of the road, while several of our batteries shelled the supposed position of the enemy. We were delayed at this point during that day and the next. On the morning of the----, the Grapevine Bridge being rebuilt and the road clear, this brigade, with the rest of the division, crossed, and, moving across the line of the York River road, struck into the road to Bottom's Bridge, down which we proceeded, capturing prisoners, &c., until we turned to the right, following the course of the enemy, and took the road crossing the White Oak Swamp and running into the Long Bridge road. Upon reaching the White Oak Swamp, we found the bridge destroyed and the enemy drawn up in a strong position on the other side, with artillery. The infantry being kept under cover, our artillery was brought up in force, and opened on the enemy

If this were done, large quantities of beef, mutton, bacon, and such things as are necessary for the sick and wounded, would be sent to the latter place. This force would keep open the road to Richmond, leading from the counties of King and Queen, Essex, Middlesex, and Matthews, in all of which counties are large military stores. While at Gloucester Point, my picket reported a large transport, filled with men, leaving the wharf at York. She went out of the river, and returned, in the course of six or eight hours, light, and when I left, was loading with stores of some sort. The citizens in the vicinity of Gloucester Point reported to me that the guns in the fort at York had been bursted some short time before. The reports induced me

It was deemed impracticable to make the connection with Jackson's command, and we encamped that night at Gatewood's farm. Early on the morning of Wednesday, the second July, my regiment was ordered by yourself to move down by way of Nance's shop and Forge Bridge, to Talleysville, and return by way of Bottom's Bridge; the execution of which order occupied Wednesday, the second, and Thursday, the third July.
