Our regiment had been on picket at Bealton Station as a support to Stuart's cavalry, and the enemy were rapidly advancing in large force, when another infantry regiment came down on a train of cars to relieve us. We had just gotten on the train, our friends were rapidly forming line of battle to meet the Federal advance, Jeb Stuart was going to the front with his fighting jacket on, and our train was slowly moving back, when a battery of the enemy galloped into position, and threw some shell, which shrieked through the air, and exploded uncomfortably near us.

Jeb Stuart in his fighting jacket was near by, and Jackson proposed that he should concentrate all of his cavalry and make a grand cavalry charge, but Stuart shook his head and replied: Too many cannon. But he called Jackson's attention to the fact tntil we had got possession of those heights and fortified them. After that it was a strong position. [Ibid, page 446.] These heights would have been occupied and intrenched by our infantry and artillery, but Stuart — dashing, gallant, glorious Jeb. Stuart — could not resist the temptation of stirring them up, and so soon as his advance cavalry squadrons reached these heights he sent for Pelham, the heroic boy artillerist, and a section of his horse artillery, which he ordered to open on th
