ed to his men and said to them, as only Gen. Hancock can say it, "Gentlemen, charge!" and with a yell they rushed upon the enemy, scattering them in every direction. This was probably the most brilliant charge made during the day. A great number of the enemy were left dead and wounded upon the field, while our loss was very small. Our regiments all die nobly, but none of them more so than the 5th Wisconsin and 43d New York. Col. Cobb and Maj.
