Taliaferro, composed of the 44th Virginia regiment, Col. Scott; the 23d Virginia regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Taliaferro, and Major Rogers's battalion, commanded, in his absence from sickness, by senior Captain John C. Higginbotham. This brigade was reduced in the course of the action by the detachment of one hundred men under Maj. Jones, of the 44th, to reenforce our left wing. This detachment marched in gallant style, under the enemy's fire, to the position as signed it in line. The troops on this wing which, from the character of the ground were widely disparted, fell under the general command of Colonel Rust, of the 3d Arkansas regiment, and consisted of his own command, the 31st Virginia volunteers, Lieutenant Colonel Jackson, and the battalion of Lieutenant Colonel Hansborough, commanded, in his absence on account

At an early moment I threw out what few mounted men were available under Capt. Sterrett, of the Churchville Cavalry, to different points along the valley upon our right for the purpose of bringing as timely notice of an approach by the enemy, and I also strengthened considerably the picket guard advanced in that direction.

extent, invited by our commencing to fortify ourselves against it, and fearing that the enemy might have been fully advised of our weak points, until he had actually begun his retreat, my mind could not dispossess itself of the idea that he had sent another column over the mountains to turn our right flank. To prepare for this danger, I held the 1st Georgia regiment, so far as that could be done, in reserve for what I apprehended would be a desperate struggle. I also sent expresses to Colonel Baldwin, whom I had previously ordered to the top of the Alleghany Ridge, directing him to move the 52d Virginia regiment as rapidly down as possible, and to fall upon the rear of the enemy should he undertake to fall upon ours. That gallant regiment responded, as I have learned, most heartily to the call, and when halted upon the road by the tidings that the day had already been won, despite of its not-to-be-doubted patriotism, could not entirely conceal its chagrin.

The two brigades in this camp, weakened by the absence of the several corps on detached service (he 5th having been reduced from this cause and from sickness to scarce one-third of its legitimate number) I posted in the following order: The 1st Georgia regiment upon our extreme right, under command of Major Thomoson, Colonel Ramsey (he field officer of the day) having been cut off from us by the enemy while discharging his duty upon the road; next to it was placed the 12th Georgia regiment--both of these regiments designed for the immediate command of Colonel Johnson.

A. Robertson. Upon this flank also two field-pieces had already been placed in battery enfilading the Huntersv This fire was returned with great energy, and, as the result has proved, with signal effect, by the guns of Captain Shumaker and Captain Rice, and by one piece detached from Captain Anderson's battery and placed upon the hill occupied by Lieut. Col. Jackson. Lieut. Massie, its proper chief, being quite indisposed, although he maintained his position near his piece, it was placed under the command of Captain Deshler, Aide-de-camp to Col Johnson.

From the fact that the rified gun of Captain Shumaker soon became useless to us, (for the cause of this great misfortune see his own report, addressed to myself,) at no time could we bring more than five piecesnnot be given him for the deliberate manner with which he loaded and fired his piece; landing and firing by detail for an hour, in the midst of a storm of shot and shell from the enemy, until he was stricken to the earth, severely wounded; of Capt.
