Impelled by this consideration, I awaited the arrival of my reenforcements, taking advantage of the occasion to collect together the dispersed, give rest to the fatigued, and remove the wounded. Of the reenforcements, Couch's division, although marching with commendable rapidity, was not in position until a late hour in the morning; and Humphrey's division of new troops, fatigued with forced marches, were arriving throughout the day, but were not available until near its close. Large reenforcements from Pennsylvania, which were expected during the day, did not arrive at all. During the eighteenth, orders were given for a renewal of the attack at daylight on the nineteenth.

. Captain Jenkins, since killed in the battle of Chaplin Hills, Lieuts. Coppage, Vandike, Paukey, Dick Beattie, and Sergeants Humphrey and Kimbrel, led the detachments from their several companies. Lieut.-Colonel Stewart planned the attack and Cape most difficult part of the affair was the capture of the pickets so as not to give the alarm. Lieut.
