Irrefutable testimony has proved to us that while the combat was limited to the extreme Federal right during the successive attacks of Hooker and Kearny—that is to say, during the whole afternoon—this sound did not reach the point where Porter was stationed; the distant booming of cannon, which alone could be heard had resounded so frequently in the forests of Virginia without announcing anything more than a trifling artillery-duel that people had ceased to pay any attention to it. It was only the sound of King's attack, much nearer than the attacks preceding it, which reached Porter's ears at the very moment he was preparing a movement whic
