About 2 o'clock, all arrangements being completed, Lieutenant-General Hill ordered the line forward, and the command was promptly obeyed. The line thus formed, and in motion, was preceded by two squadrons of the Seventh Virginia cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Marshall, of Fauquier. This little body drove the enemy's pickets back, in gallant style, into their rifle-pits, in sight of the enemy's main line of battle. In this affair Colonel Marshall was slightly wounded. Having arrived in front of the enemy's line of works, General Hill determined to assault them at once, and, accordingly, ordered Major-General Wilcox to take two brigades and assault the enemy's works.
