The command of General Jackson, including Ewell's division, operating in the Shenandoah Valley, had succeeded in diverting the army of McDowell, at Fredericksburgh, from uniting with that of McClellan. To render this diversion more decided, and effectually mask his withdrawal from the valley at the proper time, Jackson, after the defeat of Fremont and Shields, was reinforced by Whiting's division, composed of Hood's Texas brigade and his own, under Colonel Law, from Richmond, and that of Lawton, from the South.

The fire of the enemy was very heavy, and I regret to report the loss of Major Crumpler, severely wounded, since dead; Lieutenant Gaines, Adjutant, wounded; eleven privates and noncommissioned officers wounded, and brought off. One private, Third Virginia regiment, severely wounded. Captain Ruffin, Lieutenant Shields, and forty-six non-commissioned officers missing, being wounded, killed, and thrown from their horses. All the officers and men behaved with the greatest coolness and bravery. I saw every officer and man doing his duty promptly and well. On Monday, the cavalry was kept on the right to ascertain the position of the enemy, and follow any success. On Tuesday, was ordered on the left of General Jackson, and afterward in scouring the country for prisoners; but nothing to report.
