This caused a pause in our advance, and the position was most critical, for it was apparent that unless this force were driven back the day was lost.

Company F having too many members by law for one company will be made into two companies, and officers elected accordingly. The Fredericksburg companies are all doing their duty, and are all ready for service anywhere. The Fredericksburg Artillery had a new election of officers the other day, and on yesterday were ordered off on secret service. The officers are C. M. Braxton, Captain; Jno. Alexander, 1st Lieut.; Mr. Marye, 2d Lieut.; Chas. Goolrick, 3d Lieut. We have dress parade every evening, and are twice a day regaled with fine music from the Brass Band under Capt.

In the mean time, the artillery, under Capt. C. M. Braxton, having retired to their camp, prepared to give the Yankees another warm reception, but Gen. Hatton finding that the Yankees were endeavoring to flank him, ordered the artillery to retreat still farther back, which was done-under a galling fire from the enemy, they having followed us up with their artillery. Our officers and man behaved gallantly, especially Gen. Hatton and Captain C. M. Braxton, who, amid the balls and shells, code fearlessly from one gun to another, giving directions, &c. Our loss was only one killed and two wounded. The artillery did not loss a single man, although the balls struck so close to some of them as to splashed in their faces.

The division was now within one and a half miles of Gettysburg, and was disposed as follows: Archer's brigade of Tennessean on the right of the turnpike, Davis's brigade of Mississippians, except one regiment, was in line on the left of the same road.
