In General Hardee's report of the impetuous advance of his corps, which crumbled the left wing of Rosecrans' army, he said: I ordered Wharton to make a detour of the enemy's right and to fall upon their flank and rear, while the infantry and artillery moved upon them in front. He dashed forward at daylight at a gallop. . . . Capt. S. P. Christian, of the Texas Rangers, with four companies, charged and took a complete battery of the enemy, with all its guns, caissons, horses and artillerists. . . . Wharton afterward swept around toward the Nashville pike, and found the enemy's cavalry in position to defend their menaced trains. Harrison, Ashby and Hardy were ordered to charge. This was met by a countercharge. . . . Wharton's entire brigade was now ordered to charge. . . . The enemy fled in wild dismay. Of the advance of the

Reaching a point near the Wilkinson pike, with the enemy in his front, Capt. B. F. White (Tennessee) was ordered to open with his battery. The First Confederate regiment, Col. John T. Cox, charged and captured the Seventy-fifth Illinois infantry. Four companies of the Eighth Texas, under Capt. S. P. Christian, charged and captured a four-gun battery complete. Wharton sent his 1,500 prisoners to the rear, and moved across the country a short distance near the Nashville road, until he found a large body of Federal cavalry facing him.

They were met by a countercharge, supposed to be by the Fourth reg

Between 4 and 5 o'clock p. m. Longstreet opened the battle of Seven Pines. General Whiting was ordered to move his command by theNine-mile road to Longstreet's assistance, and as they came up they were at once hotly engaged. Gen. G. W. Smith stated that when Hatton came up, his brigade was formed on the edge of the field near the road. It moved across the field with alacrity, and the precision of its movement in line of battle has been seldom equaled, even on the parade gro
