lf by fiercely striking, at Groveton, the flank of King's division of McDowell's corps while on its march to Centreville, where Pope then thought Jackson was. This attack was made by the divisions of Ewell and Taliaferro. It was gallantly met by Gibbon and Doubleday, both fine soldiers, and lasted until 9 o'clock. The opposing forces fought, as Gibbon states, at d distance of 75 yards, and the engagement was a most sanguinary one. Trimble's brigade, containing the Twenty-first North Carolina aGibbon states, at d distance of 75 yards, and the engagement was a most sanguinary one. Trimble's brigade, containing the Twenty-first North Carolina and Wharton's battalion, took a conspicuous part, and met with a brigade loss of 310 men. The loss in the North Carolina commands was 26 killed and 37 wounded. Among the killed was Lieut.-Col. Saunders Fulton, commanding the Twenty-first, who had greatly distinguished himself by coolness and daring. The next day began the two days of desperate fighting at Second Manassas, or Bull Run. North Carolina had eleven regiments and one battalion of infantry and two batteries of artillery engaged in th

Before the general advance gh to save him from destruction. Hatch's division advanced in beautiful order between Meade and Gibbon. As these brigades moved forward at first, there was not a Confederate soldier to oppose them. . and held their own until both sides, exhausted, fell asleep within 100 yards of each other. Gibbon made, just before dark, a furious attack on Colquitt's men posted across the pike. This assault was especially directed against Colquitt's two brave regiments behind the stone fence. Gibbon lost 38 of his 1,500 men, but failed to move Colquitt from his advantageous position. During this dayh him. G. T. Anderson enters to brace the Confederate left.

was withdrawn, the right grand division crossed on the pontoon bridges. Burnside ordered Franklin's grand division to attack the position held by Jackson. Reynolds' corps was selected, and he advanced Meade's division, supported on the right by Gibbon's division; and then, when Meade was fired upon on his left, Doubleday's division was advanced to Meade's left. Meade's attack fell first on Lane's brigade of North Carolinians. In the general alignment, Lane's brigade did not join Archer's brirder from corps headquarters, a handsome compliment to these two regiments was read at dress parade. The effort to break through Jackson's lines met a bloody and disastrous repulse. Birney's division was sent to cover the retreat of Meade and Gibbon, and Franklin's grand division, nearly one-half of Burnside's army, did no more considerable fighting on that field. During the ensanguined battle on the Confederate right, Sumner's grand division had been making desperate attempts to carry Ma

Howard's corps held its former place, and Doubleday's men held lines to Gibbon's left. All lay in readiness, screening themselves as best they could from the fire of the artillery that was soon to cease from want of ammunition. We lay behind a slight rise of ground, says an occupant of the second line, just sufficient to ing but unfaltering lines. Brockenbrough's brigade is borne down, Davis' line is staggered. Lane and Lowrance from the second line rush forward with their sturdy Carolinians, and without a halt Pettigrew's men push closer. The rifle shots from Gibbon's men now begin to find lodgment, and men sink by scores. In the wild roar of the battle no words of command can be heard, but caps and swords wave on the depleted ranks to still more desperate attempts. The Federal line was parallel to Picke

l Meade ordered Getty's division of Sedgwick's corps, supported by Hancock's corps, to attack the Confederates and drive them back to Parker's store, so that Hancock might connect with Warren's left. Hancock formed the divisions of Birney, Mott, Gibbon and Barlow on Getty's left. These five divisions were resisted all the afternoon by Heth's and Wilcox's divisions alone, Anderson, Hill's other division commander, being still absent with his command. The divisions of Getty, Birney, Mott, two b Hancock was ordered to take three divisions of the Second corps to join the Ninth corps in an assault at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 12th. Barlow's, Birney's and Mott's divisions were massed during the night in front of Johnson's position. Gibbon's division was moved up as a reserve, but really joined in the assault. Russell's and Getty's divisions were directed to be under arms and ready to move wherever needed. Johnson had heard the heavy movements of troops in the night, and, promp

ust That officer was to destroy the road to Rowanty creek. His force consisted of his first division, commanded by General Miles, his second division, under General Gibbon, and Gregg's cavalry.
