During the engagement Gen. Johnson came near being captured. Gen. Jackson, not knowing his position gave orders for the 44th Va regiment to fall back, but the Richmond Zouaves Captain Alfriend, seeing the perilous position of their brave commender, Gen, J, disobeyed orders and charged upon the enemy, thereby saving him from the Yankees'clutones.

Yan-Dorn, requiring the names of all officers and privates who distinguished themselves to be reported to him, as well as all those who misbehave or abendon their colors. it says This step inaugurates a new are in the army of the South. It has long been a complain, that once in the ranks always in the ranks. No matter how gallant a private might behave, it is argued that he never was promoted.
