The Second battle of Manassas. By Colonel Robert M. Mayo.
[We cheerfully give place to the following sketch as relating important events which came under the personal observation of a gallant officer and reliable gentleman, and as meeting the rule of publication upon which we have acted: Let the history be written, as far as possible, by those who made it.]
It is said that after General Grant had finished reading Sherman's book on the late war, he remarked that before reading that book he had imagined that he had taken some part in the war, but that he had now discovered that he was mistaken.
So we of Jackson's corps had supposed that we did a little towards the repulse of the Federals in their attack on our lines on the 30th of August, 1862, at Manassas, and we would still be laboring under that delusion but for the kindly information from General Longstreet, that his artillery did the whole work.

headquarters Hampton's division, cavalry corps, A. N. V., July 10th, 1864. To Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, Assistant Adjutant-General:
Colonel — On the morning of 27th June the General-Commanding ordered me to move my command from Drewry's farm to Stony creek, in order to intercept Wilson, who was returning from Staunton river bridge to rejoin Grant's army.
In obedience to these orders, I moved rapidly in the direction indicated with my division — Chambliss' brigade having been sent forward the evening previous.
At 12 M. the next day I reached Stony Creek depot, where I found Chambliss.
From this point scouts were sent out to find the position of the enemy and to ascertain what route he was pursuing.
At 12.30 P. M. I wrote the General-Commanding, suggesting that a force of infantry and artillery be placed at Reams' station, as the enemy would have to cross the railroad there — Jarratt's or Hicksford.
