I directed him to follow the road in double-quick, pressing the enemy hotly in rear and driving him from his position. Major Holliday, Thirty-third regiment, rode up at this time, and, through him, I sent orders to Colonel Neff to do the same. The batteries arriving, I continued to advance them as rapidly as possible, pouring in a heavy and well-directed fire on the retrea brigade coming back, and was told, upon inquiry, that they could get no position and were coming back to a better one. I could get no information from the First brigade. In this dilemma I concluded to fall in with Elzey's brigade, and sent Major Holliday to report to Colonel Walker, until I could hear positively and know what to do.

The Second briewith presented. Upon assuming command, Captain John H. Fulton, of the Fourth regiment, and Major Holliday, of the Thirty-third regiment, kindly consented to act as Aids, in connection with Lieutenanas conspicuous in the fight, transmitting every order with great promptness and despatch. Major Holliday, a gallant and brave man, while in the execution of an order, was severely wounded in the riy high appreciation of his conspicuously gallant conduct. Having no field officer with me, (Major Holliday having been detailed for staff duty by Colonel Ronald,) I felt the need of efficient help, athem.

Jackson, volunteer Aid and acting ordnance officer of the brigade, for his good conduct and ability in the discharge of his duties; and also to Captain Frederick West, volunteer Aid, who has been with me since the affair at Thoroughfare Gap, and has nobly and faithfully done his duty.

I must also express my obligations to Lieutenant Tennible, Ninth Georgia regiment, who aided me, and bore himself gallantly under the murderous fire at Manassas, after Lieutenant Hardwick, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, was wounded. I am, sir, your obedient servant, George T. Anderson, Colonel Eleventh Georgia Voluntee
