The Daily Dispatch: December 10, 1863., [Electronic resource], The battle of Payne's Farm. (search)
Ewell returned to duty, and in turning over the command Gen. Early issued the following order: Headq'rs 2nd Army Corps, December 4th, 1863. In turning over the command of the corps to its proper commander, Major Gen. Early takes occasion to express to the officers and men of the entire corps his high appreciation of their good conduct during the recent operations. The cheerful spirit with which they have met all demands upon them for work and vigilance are deserving of the highest praise. To Major Gen. Johnson and his division great credit is due for the spirited manner in which they met and repulsed the column of the enemy, which was endeavoring to get in their rear on the afternoon of the 27th ult. The spirit manifested by all would have ensured a signal victory to our arms had not the exceeding caution of the enemy caused him to withdraw from the contest which he at one time appeared to court. J. A. Early, Maj. Gen. Official: R. W. Hunter, A. A. G.
