The Captain rides in front to locate the position of the guns, and ere the whirlwind of dust over the roadway over which they have traveled had well nigh settled to its mother earth, the welcome sound of the first gun is heard as it throws its shell into the head of the enemy's column. Another shell falls in their midst. They waver, confusion reigns in their ranks, and the enemy turned and fled.

Would stay in fightDearing commanded one of the brigades. Would stay in fight. I halted them, and told General Rosser of Pickett's orders, that no troops should pass the head of his division. Well, said General Rosser, my division may halt, but Jim Dearing and myself are going down to help Terry. I knew Rosser and DeariJim Dearing and myself are going down to help Terry. I knew Rosser and Dearing well, for they were both from my county of Campbell, and I knew that objection on my part would be useless. They both had rather be in a fight than out of it.

They both had rather be in a fight than out of it. Braver men I never knew. They galloped to the front. Just then a courier from Pickett summoned me down. I transmitted my orders to Mayo, and moved rapidly to the ford. As the enemy saw our approach he evacuated the ford, and hid himself on the eminence just beyond. Bentley had crossed when I got there, and I rode across and so
