Still forward came the wave of gray, still backward receedehe Federal position, the weak point in their line, the spot so anxiously watched by McClellan, for he sent repeated dispatches to Burnside late that evening, as A.

Here was the point Toombs's Georgians maday, instead of being held back, it would have been a black day for the South, and the Yankees would have gained a glorious victory, for we had no reserves, and A.

d, and a brisk contest was maintained until dark, when the enemy withdrew, having kept Jackson's whole force out of the critical action fought by Longstreet and A. P. Hill late in the afternoon at Frazier's Farm. The superior ammunition and guns of the enemy made this contest about an equal one; but even had the Confederate equipsand muskets, and accompanied by thirty-seven guns, while pressing down the Charles City road was checked about two miles from Frazier's Farm, where Longstreet and Hill were already engaged, by a powerful battery of rifled guns posted on high open ground.

The Blue-light Elder knows them well; Says he: “That's Banks: he's fond of shell. Lord save his soul! we'll give him” —Well! That's Stonewall Jackson's way. Silence! Ground arms! Kneel all! Caps off! Ole massa's goina to pray. Strangle the fool! that dares to scoff; Attention! it's his way. Appealing from his native sod, In forma pauperis, to God, “Lay bare thine arms! Stretch forth thy rod; Amen!” —that's Stonewall's way. He's in the saddle now. Fall in! Steady, the whole brigade! Hill's at the ford, cut off. We'll win His way out, ball and blade. What matter if our shoes are worn? What matter if our feet are torn? Quick step! We're with him before dawn. That's Stonewall Jackson's way. The sun's bright lances rout the mists Of morning; and, by George! Here's Longstreet struggling in the lists, Hemmed in an ugly gorge. Pope and his Yankees whipped before, ‘Bayonets and Grape!’ hear Stonewall roar. Charge, Stuart! Pay off Ashby's score In Stonewall Jackson's way

receding, forming an obtuse angle with Preston's line. In his front was a heavy breastwork of logs, on the summit of a slight ridge heavily wooded and strongly held by the enemy's infantry and artillery. His right flank was opposite the angle of this work; his centre, facing towards the northwest, was opposed to the flank of the work, which was perpendicular to the road. On Stewart's right, in front of the face of the work, and parallel to the Chattanooga road, was Cleburne's division, of Hill's corps. Brigadier-General Law's brigade, of Hood's division, was in line perpendicular to the road to the left, and slightly in advance of Preston, and close by the burnt house (Poe's), near which was a battery of Hood's artillery. A personal reconnoissance, in company with the Lieutenant-General commanding, showed an advantageous position for artillery in front of Poe's burning house, from which point the enemy's main line, which fronted eastward, and was situated a little to the east of

e had marched forty miles on this day, and had whipped and demoralized the enemy in every encounter. About twilight his column was again in motion on the road leading to Talleysville. The burning of the transports and wagons illuminated the Northern horizon and rendered it a grand spectacle for an hour or more after nightfall. Colonel W. H. F. Lee, after crossing the bridge spanning Black Creek, and who was in advance of the column, overtook an immense wagon train ascending Southern Branch Hill, which stretched out for miles on the road. Colonel Lee, fearing an ambuscade, dismounted his command, and threw out skirmishers on either side of the road, which was densely fringed with forest and undergrowth, but very soon discovered there was no guard with it. The wagons contained commissary and quartermaster stores of every kind, which fell like ripe fruit into the hands of the Confederates. The horses and mules were detached from the wagons and the latter, with all of their contents,

rst battle of Manassas to fade out of the knowledge and admiration of mankind will be that Stonewall! Understand me, comrades. Not one word have I to say in criticism of the monuments placed to commemorate the brave deeds of the Union soldiers who died on that field; but if these men be worthy of such honor from their comrades, how much more do we owe to the men who twice won victory at the price of blood on this spot; or to those noble South Carolinians under Gregg, who, on the left of A. P. Hill, on August 29, 1862, held their position with a tenacity not exceeded by the British squares at Waterloo; or to that gallant division of Stark's, which met and bore the brunt of Porter's attack on August 30th, and when they had no more cartridges used the butts of their muskets and even the stones that lay around them as arms! The deeds of such men and of many others like them deserve to be kept green for all time. They constitute a priceless legacy to their countrymen—to their descendan
