While Jackson was thundering at Franklin with his artillery, and Franklin was preventing his passage of White Oak, McClellan was posting the divisions of Hooker, McCall, Sedgwick, Kearny and Slocum in line of battle across the Long Bridge road, confronting the expected advance of Lee down the Charles City and Darbytown roads.

The latter, vaguely aware of a campaign at hand, sent his cavalry, under General Pleasanton, up the Rappahannock to artillery and several colors.

On Longstreet's part Law's brigade of Jenkins' division was moved down the river below Lookout mountain, and on the 28th the brigade observed a force from Chattanooga cross the river and seize a strong position, where it was soon reinforced by Hooker's corps from Virginia. On the 28th Longstreet arranged for a night attack upon Geary's division, marching down Lookout valley toward Brown's ferry, in which Bratton's division was to assail the enemy's rear. Col. Robert E. Bowen, then seniorll's Valley, or Lookout Valley, as it is variously called, says that during an observation of the Federal movements from the summit of Lookout, General Jenkins asked permission to attack and capture the supply train for Rosecrans' army, for which Hooker's troops were mistaken, and the attack was made with that understanding, Law's brigade being stationed at the river to prevent reinforcements from Chattanooga.

Hill, during the Gettysburg campaign. When Longstreet was sent to the assistance of Bragg at Chattanooga, Jenkins' brigade was transferred to Hood's division, and reached the field of Chickamauga after the battle. During the investment of Chattanooga he commanded the attack upon the Federal reinforcements arriving under Hooker, and then accompanied Longstreet in the Knoxville campaign, commanding Hood's division. He took a conspicuous part in the operations in east Tennessee, and then, early in 1864, returned to Northern Virginia. Field was now in charge of the division, and Jenkins led his famous old brigade to battle on May 6th, the second day of the Wilderness fighting, when the splendid veterans of the First corps arrived in time to check the current of threatened disaster.

Cox, Company D, to major. When Longstreet's corps went to Georgia, the lieutenant-colonel having resigned and the colonel being on detail and the major on furlough, Captain Bowen commanded the regiment at the time of the arrival of Hooker's corps near Chattanooga, and in charge of the skirmish line took a prominent part in the battle of Will's Valley or Wauhatchie, and was severely wounded. He was unable to return to his regiment until December 27th, when he found it at Morristown, east Tennessee. He had been promoted to lieutenant-colonel, and on the resignation of Colonel Thompson, to colonel, with Captain Donnald, Company F, lieutenant-colonel, and Capt. S. R. Pendy, Company C, major.
