Generals Hill and Early then rode to the front and examined the ground in front of them, declares Early in his report. General Hill also says in his report, I reconnoitered the groun line, and sent my adjutant, Major Ratchford, to General Early to know whether he had gotten over.

While Campbell's men were meeting the front attack, Crawfont line, and Pender's North Carolina brigade struck Gordon's flank. Just at this time, Thomas, Early, Forno and Trimble joined the left in a general advance, and Banks' whole line was swept back in the fact that the Carolinians were under fire for so short a time. The brigades of Taliaferro, Early and Thomas were exposed during the whole encounter. After the battle at Cedar mountain, GenerKearny, aided by Stevens, next fell on Hill's left.

Miller, who was killed during the battle, along with the Twenty-first Georgia, was posted by Colonel Walker, commanding Trimble's brigade, behind a stone fence, and, says General Early, concentrating their fire upon a part of the enemy's line in front of the latter [regiment], succeeded in breaking it. Colonel Thruston, of the Third North Carolina, gives this picture of the part of Ripley's brigade in the action on the lefnd his three brigades moved toward the Dunker church and left it a little to their left.

Cox, who commanded the extreme Federal left, upon the left flank of Sedgwick's lines, which were soon

Three brigades of Early's division were called to the front, and these uniting their efforts to those of the other troops, Meade's men were driven back with great loss. Only one of Early's three brigades contained any North Carolina troops. That was Trimble's brigade, commanded by a North Carolina colonel, R. F. Hoke. In this brigade were the Twenty-first North Carolina and the First battalion. General Early says of the charge of this brigade: I ordered Hoke to advance to his [Archer's] support. This was done in gallant style, and Hoke found the enemy in possession of the trench (which had been occupied by General Archer's brigade)

Rodes failed to get there in time, butier, for he moved promptly on his orders, but arrived just after the repulse of Early's two brigades.
