earning that Shields, from McDowell's column at Fredericksburg, and Fremont, from the West, were hurrying to form a junction in his rear, he marched his old brigade thirty-five miles, and one of the regiments, the 2nd Virginia, forty-two miles a day, and safely passed the point of danger at Strasburg, carrying his immense wagon train loaded with captured stores, his prisoners and everything, not leaving behind so much as a broken wagon wheel. He then moved leisurely up the Valley until at Cross Keys and Port Republic he suffered himself to be caught, and proved beyond question that the man who caught Stonewall Jackson had indeed caught a Tartar. The Valley campaign. Here is a brief summary of this Valley Campaign of Stonewall Jackson: In thirty-two days he had marched nearly 400 miles, skirmishing almost daily, fought five battles, defeated three armies, two of which were completely routed, captured 26 pieces of artillery, 4,000 prisoners, and immense stores of all kinds, and

g. The enemy were not yet seen, but we expected to meet them in the next field. Not a shot was fired. Just as our skirmishers got over the fence, and as we with line of battle got to the fence, here came a courier to Colonel Baylor from Jackson to halt. There we stood possibly fifteen minutes, when another courier came from Jackson ordering the line of battle to fall back to the ridge on which we had first formed, and the skirmishers to fall back over the fence. We remained during most of the day and built fires as if we were going into camp. That night the army was in full motion up the Valley. I did not get back to my regiment until I got to Strasburg. Jackson slipped by Fremont a few days later, fought the battles of Harrisonburg, Cross Keys and Port Republic inside of four days, winding up his memorable Valley campaign of 1862. This was the opening of that great campaign, and led to the movement to Richmond. A. D. Warwick., Late First Lieutenant 2nd Virginia Regiment.

l his strategic moves, and followed him through this entire campaign. General Banks was our objective point at all times. He was famous for carrying a good stock of provisions—a fact which we appreciated and enjoyed almost as much as his own men—for it was a joke commented on by the newspapers of the country at the time, both North and South, that Banks was Jackson's commissary. As well as I can recollect, the last work we did while in the Valley was when we defeated him and Milroy at Cross Keys and took possession of some of their provision wagons, sending them back towards Winchester wiser for their severe lesson in the art of war, and sadder for the loss of many men and a good part of their commissary train. For our part, we continued our course to Port Republic, where Jackson fell upon Shields with such force that his army was completely demoralized, and he forced to flee in confusion down the Valley over the same ground he marched his men so confidently a few days before.

aries in check was to intimate to them that all pursuit was at an end. He determined, however, to take advantage of their separation to deal them successively a last blow. On the 8th, Ewell, with five thousand men, was waiting for Fremont at Cross Keys, a point of junction of several roads in the neighborhood. The six Federal brigades were prompt in attacking him. But Fremont, being under the impression that he had the whole of Jackson's army before him, allowed himself to be held back a loned down the valley to fall upon Fremont conjointly with Jackson; but on the 20th he speedily got on board the same cars which had brought him over, and returned to Charlottesville, where Jackson was awaiting him with the army that had fought at Cross Keys and Port Republic. By the movements of his cavalry, by his own words, and by means of letters written with the intention that they should fall into the hands of the Federals, he had confirmed all the fears which the movements of Whiting's divi

es. McDowell returned, but too late, to his positions at Fredericksburg, on the Rappahannock; Banks concentrated his forces near Luray. Fremont remained in West Virginia, whither he had returned immediately after the unfortunate expedition of Cross Keys. Meanwhile, the President, a man of modesty and good sense, had very soon discovered the error he had committed in attempting to direct the complicated movements of several armies from Washington; but instead of securing unity of direction by old commander of the Fifth corps of the army of the Potomac to the quick. As brave as he was imprudent, he was longing to show to the officers of the army of the West that his soldiers were not afraid to measure themselves with the victors of Cross Keys. Cedar Mountain, also called Slaughter Mountain, is a hill of considerable height, dotted with woods, and, running north and south, it dominates the whole surrounding country between Culpepper and the Rapidan.

mself of his advantage. If he promptly debouches into the plain, the Fifth corps, which is deployed behind him, the Sixth, which is disposing itself in masses in the defile, will support him; similar forces will soon easily have the best of Rodes, throw him back to the Shenandoah, and close the valleys of both Milford and of Luray against the whole of Ewell's corps. They will then find it easy to precede him to Port Republic, and the Federals will perhaps obliterate on the battlefield of Cross Keys the sad souvenirs left there by Fremont in the preceding year. A prompt and vigorous action would be necessary; and yet French will engage only a brigade. He is uselessly feeling the position of O'Neal's skirmishers, and is overtaken by night before he has made an attack upon them. Two Confederate brigades have thus detained a Federal corps during a whole day, at a cost of less than a hundred men killed and wounded.

The Federal soldiers at Cross Keys, Md., got into a state of insubordination last Saturday, and the guards fired upon them, killing one and wounding another. Two more were to have been court-martialed. The Charleston banks have had a meeting and responded favorably to all the propositions submitted by the late Bank Convention. The County Court of Dinwiddle, Va., on Monday last, appropriated $45,000 for war purposes, making the entire appropriation by the county $50,000. Mr. Vaughn, of Laurens, S. C., a member of Col. Williams' regiment, was accidentally killed by falling from the cars on the Charlotte Railroad a few days ago.

Staunton, June 11. --On Sunday General Ewell's command, with a part of Jackson's attacked Fremont, near Cross Keys, fire miles from Port Republic. Fremont was repulsed with considerable loss. On Monday, Jackson crossed the North branch of the Shenandoah, above Port Republic, and burnt the bridge. He then went in pursuit of Shields, who was encamped at Lewiston, two miles below Port Republic, on the East side of the Shenandoah. He attacked him at sunrise, and, after a terrible battle of four hours, completely routed him, capturing six pieces of artillery, (all Shields had) and a number of prisoners. The route was as complete as in the case of Banks. --Shields had nine thousand men and Jackson about the same number. Fremont was reinforced, and on Monday appeared on the west bank of the Shenandoah, but could not get over to aid Shields as the
