ripened into a personal one, as close and as unselfish on both sides, as that already existing between Grant and Sherman. The rebel government was not long in learning that a new commander had superseded the crowd of generals who previously moved up and down the Valleys of the Potomac and. the Shenandoah without concert and without success. They learned also that Sheridan was to be reinforced, and Lee at once determined to resist him. It has already been seen that Anderson was sent with Kershaw's division and FitzLee's cavalry to the neighborhood of Culpeper, to co-operate with Early. Anderson's orders were to cross the Potomac east of the Blue Ridge, while Early entered Maryland higher up the stream, and the two commanders, acting in concert, were to make a second movement against Washington. This statement of Lee's orders to Early and Anderson is taken from McCabe, who gives it still more minutely. Early, however, says not a word to indicate that he was expected a second ti

e men floundered wildly back through the creek, and gave themselves up to the very brigades they had just driven across. A moment later the two sections of the Sixth corps closed like gates upon the entire rebel force, while from the hillsides in the rear Merritt and Crook suddenly swept through the pine-trees like a whirlwind. There was one bewildering moment in which the rebels fought on every hand, and then they threw down their arms and surrendered. Ewell, in command of the force, Kershaw, Custis Lee, Semmes, Corse, De Foe, Barton—all generals, hundreds of inferior officers, and seven thousand men, were prisoners. Fourteen guns fell into the hands of the cavalry, and the entire rear-guard of Lee's army was destroyed. A few officers escaped on the backs of artillery horses, and some of the men broke their muskets before submitting. A part of the wagon train had gone on during the battle, but Ewell's command surrendered on the open field. Getty's division was pushed on

Without Kershaw, I would have about six thousand muskets. of night towards Port Republic to unite with Kershaw. After doing this, I drove a division of ceneral Gordon, and late at night I moved with Kershaw's division through Strasburg, towards a ford as for Gordon to come around in the rear, for Kershaw to attack the left flank, and for Wharton to on the enemy when he should turn on Gordon or Kershaw, and the attack was to begin at 5 A. M. on thss towards the Valley pike. Punctually at 5, Kershaw reached the enemy's left work, attacked and cho had got on the left with his division, and Kershaw, who were then also to swing around and advant he could hold, and, the cavalry in front of Kershaw and Gordon having moved towards Rosser, they ision on the left subsequently gave way, and Kershaw's and Ramseur's did so also, when they found [1 more...]

rance on the battle-field. The Confederates this time were the first to receive reinforcements. McLaws, with his own division and Walker's brigade, five thousand or fifty-five hundred men in all, arrived at last from Sharpsburg by the Hagerstown turnpike. Before approaching Dunker Church he encountered scattered groups of fugitives and wounded. These were the debris of Jackson's and Hood's divisions, that Sedgwick had just driven out of the wood. McLaws, without losing a moment, hurled Kershaw's brigade into the unoccupied space, which, as we have just said, separated Sedgwick's positions from those of Green, and supported this attack with all his troops. His right met the second of these two generals, and soon compelled him to lose ground; his left threw itself upon Sedgwick's flank, taking him almost in reverse. The latter caused his third brigade, under Howard, to face about, but it was too late. Before they were able to perform this dangerous movement, Howard's soldiers we

s into the midst of the assailants; their ranks were fast thinning off. The two brigades, which up to this time had alone defended the stone wall, lost their two commanders at the same moment-General Cobb killed and General Cook seriously wounded. But numerous reinforcements were at hand. Ransom's brigade This brigade, like many others, had preserved the name of its former chief, although the latter commanded the whole division to which it belonged. had come to the relief of Cook's; Kershaw had been sent by McLaws to succor Cobb's soldiers. These new troops were placed in rear of those they came to support; and owing to a slight inclination in the ground they occupied on the road, they were enabled to open a well-sustained fire of four ranks upon the assailants. The Federals had no hope left. The bravest among them acknowledged that it would be folly to remain any longer before a position which it was impossible to carry.
