Gregory and Sickel had both ranked me formerly as Colonels, but accated to General Griffin, who approved it and directed General Gregory to support me on the left as I should instruct him, an no doubt. But there was more to be done. I wondered why Gregory had not attacked on the enemy's right flank when they were in the teeth of a gale.

Gregory, who had been directed by General Griffin to report to me rehensive of an attempt to take us in flank on the left in Gregory's front, and was about giving my attention to this, when Grigade in line of battle on the opposite bank, followed by Gregory's in column of regiments. The enemy fell back without muc assault on that flank none of us knew. I proposed to put Gregory's Brigade into those woods, by battalion in echelon by thek and reverse in succession any attacks on my right. When Gregory should be well advanced I would charge the works across thwith my own brigade. My plan being approved, I instructed Gregory to keep in the woods, moving forward with an inclination f my purpose and had their warm support. Soon the roar of Gregory's guns rose in the woods like a whirlwind. We sounded bugived a medal of honor from the Government. In due time Gregory came up out of the woods, his face beaming with satisfacti

Accordingly I had Gregory throw out a small battalion as skirmishers and flankers, ant line, but now hastened over to the right, where I found Gregory earnestly carrying out my instructions to guard that flanke, that had been picketing the White Oak Road, and so kept Gregory on the alert. The influence of the sharp skirmish fire onled my brigade out of the woods by the left flank, telling Gregory to follow; and, sending to Bartlett to let him know what Ist fell on my stalwart 185th New York, Colonel Sniper; but Gregory His regiments were the 187th, 188th, and 189th New York in by my own brigade; and four hundred and seventy men by Gregory's.

In this new front we take up the battle. Gregory follows in on my left. It is a formidable front we make. The scene darkens. In a few minutesnia-Lee's army! In the meantime Crawford's troops have begun to arrive, and form in between Gregory and Bartlett on our left. It was hilly, broken ground, in effect a vast amphitheater, stretold caps higher in the air, and leave the earth as far below them as they can. Dear old General Gregory gallops up to inquire the meaning of this strange departure from accustomed discipline. On

nship of these experienced men would be some relief; and perhaps there might be counsel to be taken now, as in so many a dark and boding hour before. Leaving General Gregory at my quarters with instructions, I mounted my horse. My thought was anticipated. Scarcely had I got beyond the limits of our camp when I saw a figure oftenthe beginning, solid and sure as the iron guns he brought, holding all his powers well in hand, faced to the front; gallant, ever-ready, dashing Pearson; dear old Gregory, pure-souled as crystal, thinking never of self, calmest in death's carnival; others, younger,--how shall I name them all? Staff officers, cool, keen, and swift ade, commanded by Colonel Sniper, had its headquarters at Wilson's, which was in the vicinity of our conflicts on the White Oak Road; my Second Brigade, under General Gregory, made headquarters at Ford's Station, its jurisdiction covering the battlefields of Five Forks, Dinwiddie, and the White Oak Road; and the Third, the Veteran

The brigades to-day are commanded by General Pearson, General Gregory, and Colonel Edmunds, veterans of the corps. First is the Third Brigade, bearing the spirit and transformed substance of Porter's old division of Yorktown, and Morell's at Gaines' Mill and Malvern Hill. These are of the men I stood with atfrom the best substance of the 18th, wakening heart-held visions. These names and numbers tell of the men who had opened all the fiery gateways of Virginia from the York River to the Chickahominy, and from the Rapidan to the Appomattox. Now Gregory's New York Brigade--the 187th, 188th, and 189th,--young in order of number, but veteran in experience and honor; worthy of the list held yet in living memory, the 12th, 13th, 14th, 17th, 25th, and 44th,--one by one gone before.
