The battle of New Market, Va. From the Confederate veteran, Dec., 1907. Account of the famous engagement by the Captain who witnessed It—Took note of the Cadets—Never saw Veterans show greater courage or do better fighting. By D. H. Bruce, of Joppa, Tenn.

As to halts of the Cadets, charged by Captain Bruce—one is accounted for by an intervening ravine, when thered yards in front of the six-gun battery, spoken of by Captain Bruce. Following the order to halt the order was given to meaning to detract one scintilla from the glory of Captain Bruce or his men, he errs in the statements that the Cadet Battal was upon the immediate left of the Cadets' Battalion. Captain Bruce is positively wrong in his assertion of the breaking off the extreme left wing of his regiment, the 51st. He (Captain Bruce) furthermore asseverates that his company was the fifth
