After a few rounds from each piece he succeeded in dispersing them from the house, as well as for the time silencing their sharpshooters in his immediate front. At twilight he received orders to withdraw his pieces and report to Colonel Munford, commanding a brigade of cavalry, remained with him until about 9 A. M. the following day, when, by order, he reported to the battalion.

The reorganization occurred while at the Rappahannock, and Colonel Munford, former Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment, succeeded Colonel Radford, while Colonel Harrison, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Sixth, was elected Colonel, Colonel Field having been appointed Brigadier-General and sent to Fredericksburg. While at Conrad's store on the Shenandoah, in the Valley, Brigadier-General George H.

ets. The white head of General Wade Hampton, the South Carolina chieftain, as he rode at the head of the veterans' column, was but the signal for outbursts of applause every few minutes. He was not less soldierly in appearance than any one in the procession. General Hampton's staff was composed of the following gentlemen: General William B. Talliaferro, General D. M. Sorrel, Colonel R. L. Maury, Captain George J. Rogers, H. R. Pollard, General E. M. Law, Colonel Archer Anderson, Major William Munford, H. H. Marks and R. H. Harwood.

They were preceded by the Maryland Veterans' Band, one of the finest musical organizations in the country. The Virginia veterans marched with nimble step to the martial strains of the renowned Stonewall Brigade Band, which was under the direction o

Tucker, Grattan, Crenshaw, Patton and Aylett successively withdrew their names, and expressed a hope that the meeting would unite upon the three highest candidates. Mr. O. J. Wise read a letter from Col. Geo. W. Munford, withdrawing his name from the canvass. A good many declared their purpose to vote for him any how, when Major Wm. Munford arose and stated that it was his father's wish to have his name withdrawn. Mr. Hill nominated Judge Robertson as the third candidate, and the question being put, there was a loud response in the affirmative. The Chair then announced the names of the three candidates selected--George W. Randolph, John O. Steger, and Judge John Robertson. Loud cheers followed the announcement. Mr. Randolph was called to the stand, and warmly greeted. After expressing his thanks, he said i
