Gordon. He was the Murat of the army of Northern Virginia—The New artillery and its disastrous First experience under Fire—Attack on Kennon's Landing—Sacrifice of men and Horses— shelled with 100-Pounders. The Brook turnpike above Richmond runs almost due north and south. The military road at Brook, or Emmanuel church, strikes it at right angles from the east, in which direction this road crosses the upper Chickahominy at Meadow bridge. In his midnight retreat of May 11th, from Yellow Tavern, General Sheridan took this military road at Brook Church to escape, intending to cross the Chickahominy and move to his right from there to the James. And this he did, but he assuredly had an awful time of it and a narrow escape at Brook church. Early on the morning of the 12th, Colonel James B. Gordon was in his rear at Brook Church. Sheridan was met by our forces of cavalry and infantry at Meadow bridge, which we had destroyed, and the river there was otherwise unpassable. Sher

Coke, was made captain; Robert P. Taylor, a gallant comrade, first lieutenant, and John H. Barlow, Jr., a splendid fellow, second lieutenant. The Williamsburg Junior Guards, as Company C, was merged into the Thirty-second Regiment of Virginia Volunteers, Colonel Edward Montague, of Essex county, commanding, and Dr. James Semple, of Hampton, regimental surgeon. This regiment was with General J. E. B. Stuart when he was killed, and bore a severe part, under heavy fire, in the battles of Yellow Tavern, Gettysburg, etc. When the battle of Yellow Tavern was over, Robert A. Lively discovered a minie ball, which is now in the possession of his son, R. A. Lively, Jr., at Covington, Ky., coiled, or rather flattened, in a pair of yarn socks he had in his haversack, to which may be attributed his escape from death. Out of the eighty-six boys who organized (only enough men in the company for officers), as the Williamsburg Junior Guards, only a few returned to their homes in 1865, to tell th

e necessary promises for his chief, and I went about my business of guarding the bridges. During the morning I received the following from General Stuart, which was, I think, the last word he ever wrote, for he was killed that afternoon at Yellow Tavern in a charge to protect my battery: headquarters Sixth cavalry corps, May 11, 9 A. M. Colonel,—As the enemy may double back from this direction to Verdon, as above, you will oblige me very much by so arranging it as that I may get the intion to our wagon trains, in rear of General Lee's army. Communicate with me by way of the Telegraph road. I left a small picket at Ashland, which, however, may run in at any moment. I have not yet learned whether the enemy has passed Yellow Tavern or passed near James river. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. E. B. Stuart, Major-General. With the intuition of a great soldier Stuart threw himself on Sheridan's rear, and thus drew him away from Richmond to give time f
