one of the enemy ever came beyond the straw-stacks mentioned above, on the left, and very few of them came even so far. Moreover, they were all driven from this position and beyond the turnpike in the attack of McLaws' brigades, Early and Grigsby on Sedgwick, after whose defeat, I might say rout, there was no more fighting on that portion of the line. Grigsby's handful of men—men of Jackson's old division, who had been through the Valley campaign, the Seven Days battles around Richmond, Cedar Mountain and Second Manassas, and had suffered severely in all, and who had already fought for several hours that morning, would never have been sent to the rear to recruit if there had been further need for them in front, but, as General Gordon said of his corps at Appomattox, they had been fought to a frazzle. General J. R. Jones, commanding Jackson's old division on the morning of September 17, reports this division of four brigades as not numbering over 1,600 men at the beginning of the fi

stainless flag, until the name and fame of the Alabama was wafted on every wind that blew, echoing along the shores of Spain and France and England, until the old Victory, Nelson's ship, lying in safe harbor this hundred years, could she have spoken, would have dipped her colors to the daring young Confederate cruiser! Raphael Semmes, a Maryland man, was her commander! Who made the great charge at Gaines' Mill and sacrificed his life for the South, leading the Stonewall Brigade at Cedar Mountain? Charles Sydney Winder, of Maryland! Who, while helmets cleft and sabres clashing, shone and shivered fast around him, who led his dashing battalion of horse to victory in many a bloody field? Who but our gallant Light horse Harry Gilmor, of Maryland, and peerless Ridgely Brown, slain in battle. Who was the brave soldier who commanded the Maryland Line, and, ever foremost in the fight, captured the famous Bucktail flag of the Pennsylvania regiment? It was Bradley T. Johnson, of Ma

is worthy of a place in this history, and needs no comment: General orders, no. 116. headquarters army of Northern Virginia, October 2, 1862. In reviewing the achievements of the army during the present campaign the Commanding General cannot withhold the expression of his admiration of the indomitable courage it has displayed in battle, and its cheerful endurance of privation and hardship on the march. Since your great victories around Richmond you have defeated the enemy at Cedar Mountain, expelled him from the Rappahannock, and, after a conflict of three days, utterly repulsed him on the plains of Manassas, and forced him to take shelter within the fortifications around his capital. Without halting for repose, you crossed the Potomac, stormed the heights of Harper's Ferry, made prisoners of more than eleven thousand men, and captured upwards of seventy pieces of arillery, all their small arms and munitions of war. While one corps of the army was thus engaged the ot
