This was reported to Gen. Porter, who concluded to send a force up, and capture them if possible. On the morning of the twenty-seventh, we moved toward Hanover Court — House, on the right, to attract the enemy's attention, while Gen. Porter moved his force upon the left and rear, the success of which you of course know. The regiment was under fire here, and all the officers and men behaved most gallantly.

This was completely accomplished, Longstreet, who had passed through the Gap, being driven back to the west side.

I went on board the Belfast to give directions personally as to the manner of the fight, and the rules I desired both boats to observe in the fire from the boats. When I arrived on the Belfast I was told by Captain Sedam that the Allen Collier had left to obey a signal fro
