Kearny's and Hooker's divisions, forming Heintzelman' Hill's division was fighting Casey, Couch and Kearny. On the left wing, the line of battle was nevforced the three divisions of Casey, Couch and Kearny back to their third line, capturing eight piecof my division, and with the assistance of General Kearny, who had just arrived at the head of one oFederal side the divisions of Casey, Couch and Kearny were engaged. General Heintzelman, the senioricer on their left, says: Couch's, Casey's and Kearny's divisions on the field numbered but 18,500. Five thousand may be right for the strength of Kearny, but it seems that there must be some mistake Couch and Casey were right, and that they and Kearny together had but 15,000 men, still were they nved in some sharp minor engagements with Gen.

Hooker and Kearny and Reno were ordered to advance simultaneously against Jackson's center and left. Grover, of Hooker's division, however, led his five regiments into battle ahead of Kearny, and made one of the most brilliant charges of the war. He succeeded in crowding into a gap between Gregg's and Thomas' brigades, and reached the railroad. There he was fiercely driven back, and le, seemingly yet unaware that Longstreet was in position to strike his left, massed the commands of Porter, King, Hooker, Kearny, Ricketts, and Reynolds in a final effort to crush Jackson. Not all the men ordered against Jackson joined in the heavy rcher were successively thrown in.
