Every man who was willing to volunteer was requested to shoulder arms, and every man came to a shoulder. The captains of the companies were then requested to pick out the required number, which was done. These were taken from the Clinch Rifles, Irish Volunteers, Cuthbert Rifles, and McDuffie Rifles; and were under command of Lieut. Hallonquist, formerly of the United States Army. Lieut. Day, of the Clinch Rifles, being the junior officer, was on the left, but that wing arrived too late to take part in the action. Col.

She was very sprightly; said that her father had been taken the day before — both her father, Dr. Day, and a Mr. Day. They were charged, she said, with fighting against them on a certain occasion on the Potomac. Gen. Stuart meanwhile proceeded to have his wounded placed aboard the ambulances and wagons.

Stuart meanwhile proceeded to have his wounded placed aboard the ambulances and wagons. Our men cheerfully assisted in bearing them out of the house and putting them in the conveyances.
