Lawton's brigade, of Early's division, under Colonel Atkinson, first encountered the enemy, quickly followed on the right and left by the brigades of Trimble, under Colonel Hoke, and Early, under Colonel Walker. Taliaferro's division moved forward at the same time on Early's left, and his right regiment, the Second Virginia, belonging to Paxton's brigade, joined in the attack.

The advance of Jackson's division had reached the town and halted. Desiring to avoid delay, I directed my A. A. General, Major E. F. Paxton, to order Jackson's division forward.
