General Smith, of Franklin's Corps, having sent to the rear all his batteries earlier in a brigade of Keyes's Corps to headquarters for such use as might be required. Smith's division, left alone when Slocum crossed to the aid of Porter, was so seriousepulsed by the two regiments on picket. Sumner's and Heintzelman's Corps and Smith's division of Franklin's were now ordered to abandon their intrenchments, so as was passing, and then renew the advance on Richmond.

The main road was skirted with woods on the left the entire distance, which is about seven miles from Turkey Bridge to Harrison's Landing. The opposite side of the main road was open, and the columns of troops could move parallel with the wagons. When General W. F. Smith came along at the head of his division, I was opposite an opening in the woods at the highest point of the road. Smith exclaimed to me: Here's a good place for a battle! Would you like to have a fight? said I. Yes; just here, and now! While the columns of troops were moving alongside the trains I felt no apprehension, but after they had all passed there still remained in rear not less than five hundred wagons struggling in the mud, and it was not above ten minutes after the last vehicle had entered the large field bordering the intended camp when the enemy appeared and commenced a cannonade upon us.

During all this time Longstreet, stripped of his troops,--sent to the help of Jackson,--held the right almost
