With a battalion of the 5th Virginia regiment (Harper's) and Pendleton's battery of field artillery, he engaged the enemy's advance, skillfully taking a position where the smallness of his fn hurried at a rapid gallop to the scene of action about four miles off. On the way I directed my Chief of artillery, Col. Pendleton, to follow with his own and Alburtis's batteries. We came not a moment too soon.
