They drove the enemy into the railroad cut and out of it. Just then Brigadier-General Starke came gallantly heading the Fourth brigade, and together we went after the flying foe. In a skirt of woods in front, a battery was attempting to cover their rally; but Major Seddon and the Irish battalion wrested a three-inch rifle gun from them, and bore it off. The Fourth brigade secured another. The Forty-second is entitled to the credit of capturing the colors of the attacking brigade, which was Sickels's Excelsior, having run over them after the enemy. The flag was taken up by the Fourth brigade, and I do not claim it for the Forty-second. Returning to the first position, we held it that night. The next day, Saturday, the thirtieth, the division was formed on the same ground, but in order--Third, First, Second, Fourth, placing my brigade on precisely the same ground it held on Friday. During the morning, the enemy sullenly felt along our line, at long range, with his artillery, occa

dd a short epitome of our operations for the past three weeks. Our forces, consisting of three brigades of infantry, under command of Colonels Hays, White, and Sickels, and two battalions of artillery, left for Fayette on the twenty-eighth of April. The whole command moved from Fayette on the third of May. About three miles the informed that the enemy was in position with the intention of disputing the crossing of Cloyd's Net. General Crook ordered Colonel White's with a portion of Colonel Sickels' brigade, to move across the mountain and through the woods in order to flank the enemy. The remainder of the command was directed to move by the road. Genefourth Ohio in the second--and was to charge the enemy's right and centre as soon as Colonel White should commence the action on our left. The Third brigade, Colonel Sickels, was formed on the right of the First, and one regiment of the brigade was sent to gain the enemy's rear, on his extreme left. Our troops were formed in the

itiously as possible, to effect a junction with General Ewell. It cannot be supposed that when Lee gave Stuart his instructions on June 22nd, he had any idea that that officer would not report to General Ewell until the 1st of July--the 9th day after. Colonel Mosby says that Stuart's cavalry could not have been of any material service to Lee even had they been present at Gettysburg from the beginning of the battle, and yet he says (page 189), that the withdrawal of Buford's cavalry left Sickels' flank in the peach orchard uncovered— in the air , and that Longstreet took advantage of it and struck him a stunning blow. These two statements are inconsistent. Col. Henderson is of opinion that the skillful handling of the Federal cavalry practically decided the issue of the conflict. Science of War, p. 278. Colonel Mosby makes much of the alleged inconsistency of the statement in General Lee's Report of Jan., 1864, that Stuart was instructed to lose no time in placing his comman
