93.-battle of Cedar Mountain, Va.
this battle is also known as the battle of slaughter's Mountain, Cedar Creek, and South-west Mountain.
General Pope's report.
headquarters army of Virginia, Cedar Mountain, August 13-5 P. M. To Major-General Halleck, Commander-in-Chief:
on Thursday morning the enemy crossed the Rapidan at Barnet's Ford in heavy force, and advanced strong on the road to Culpeper and Madison Court-House.

Instead of three there were five, besides some have had all their teeth extracted for the same purpose.
There is no trick or dishonest device to which they have not resorted to escape helping to maintain the best Government under heaven.
I find men can be loyal — yes, very loyal, vociferously loyal — when it costs nothing; but when the hour of trial comes they show the white feather, and like miserable cowards as they are, resort to the meanest acts possible to escape. Ezra P. Bennett, E
