At about the same time General Kelley was placed in command of the Be to Staunton on which his predecessor had signally failed at Greenbrier river, Milroy, without waiting for co-operation with Kelley, and doubtless informed, through kets were near Slaven's cabin, near the top of the eastern Cheat mountain, when Milroy's advance appeared. These retired and drew that into the ambuscade, where it rhave received a good lesson.

ht make in that direction; the two brigades of Milroy and Schenck, of Fremont's command, that had berike his first blow at Fremont's advance under Milroy, and thus release Johnson's command for co-opeof that mountain, 15 miles west of Staunton. Milroy's advance was encamped near the eastern foot o of his front attack, to fall upon the rear of Milroy's camp. Learning from his spies that a juncade between the forces of Jackson and Johnson, Milroy ordered his detachments to concentrate at McDo stand. When Johnson's flanking party reached Milroy's previous camp they found there only a picketindications of the moving of a flanking party, Milroy, with the approval of Schenck, at about half pgle on the brow of the hill. In the meantime, Milroy had sent two Ohio and a West Virginia regimentof the turnpike to the Twenty-first Virginia. Milroy next ordered two cannon and a force along the men.

mmissariat he would, earlier in the spring of 1863, have moved upon Milroy at Winchester, in the lower Shenandoah valley, confident that by soss the Blue ridge at Chester gap, and drive the Federal force under Milroy, at Winchester, from the Valley; ordering Jenkins, at the same time down the South Branch valley, in the mountain country, to threaten Milroy from Romney on the west. On the 13th, Ewell appeared in front of Wof the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, thus preventing reinforcements to Milroy from the west. Closing around Winchester on the 14th, Ewell, by a bold and well-planned flank movement of Early to the left, drove Milroy, late in the day, from his strong intrenchments, captured a large portotic city of Winchester from a detested and tyrannical foe, such as Milroy had proved himself to be in waging war on defenseless women and chiitated plan of campaign, the way having been opened by disposing of Milroy's 10,000 at Winchester, by capture and rout, and driving the other

The sun was low as this masterly movement began, but these men, that Stonewall Jackson had often led to flanking victory, knew what was in the air when the order to march was given, and they at once, with a wild yell, swung into line, fell upon Milroy's old brigade which they had routed in the Valley the preceding spring, just as its men were cooking their suppers, as was Hooker's right when struck at Chancellorsville, and quickly routed a mile of Sedgwick's line, capturing 600 of his men andt to left. They were repulsed at all points before reaching our lines, except once during the afternoon on Hancock's front, and just after night on Sedgwick's front. In the former instance they were promptly and handsomely repulsed; the latter, Milroy's old brigade was attacked and gave away in the greatest confusion, almost without resistance, carrying good troops with them. Had there been daylight the enemy could have injured us very much in the confusion that prevailed; they, however, inst

fficer before his death. Falling back he occupied Alleghany mountain, and two Virginia regiments were added to his command. In December he defeated an attack by Milroy, his troops fighting splendidly under his inspiring leadership, and he was at once promoted brigadier-general. In May, 1862, with his command, the army of the Northwest, he defeated Milroy at Mc-Dowell. This battle was fought under his direction and by his own command, reinforced by Taliaferro. Stonewall Jackson commended his skill, gallantry and presence of mind. Near the close of the battle Johnson was severely wounded. In February, 1863, he was promoted major-general, and at the reder Lieutenant-General Ewell, comprising Steuart's, Nicholls', J. M. Jones' and the Stonewall brigades. Soon afterward he was conspicuous in his third defeat of Milroy. Deploying his division east of Winchester, he masked the operations of Early, and after that officer had captured the Federal works, he cut off the retreat of t
