Ford's requisition for axes and spades was not filled; and the only 10 axes that could be obtained were used in constructing Sept. 12. a slight breastwork of trees near the crest, with an abatis in its front; where McLaws's advance appeared and commnwhile, McLaws, with the rest of his force, save the brigades holding Crampton's Gap, moved down Pleasant Valley to the river. Kershaw advanced according to order, through dense woods and over very rough ground, until he encountered and worsted Ford's command on the Heights, as we have seen; while Wright and Anderson took, unopposed, the positions assigned them, and McLaws advanced to Sandy Hook, barring all egress from Harper's Ferry down the Potomac.
