The remaining regiments were also under fire a part of the time. Manassas Junction--August 26. We reached Manassas Junction the morning of the third day after the above shelling, when the Eighteenth regiment was detached to guard the captured stores, and the rest of the brigade was halted not far from the depot near anManassas Junction the morning of the third day after the above shelling, when the Eighteenth regiment was detached to guard the captured stores, and the rest of the brigade was halted not far from the depot near an earthwork to the left. While resting and awaiting an issue of Yankee rations, the enemy were seen advancing upon our position in line of battle. General Branch immediately put his command in motion and moved by the flank to the left of a battery planted near the earthwork. Our artillery opened upon them, soon put them to flight, and we pursued them rapidly in a diagonal direction across the field in rear of the hospital and some distance beyond Bull run, but never overtook the main body, as

My batteries were placed in eligible positions, the brigades being sheltered in rear of them. * * Manassas Junction--Wednesday morning, at Manassas Junction, Branch's brigade had a sharp encounter with a battery supported by the Twelfth Pennsylvania cavalry.

They were soon dispersed. Battle of Manassas--That evening (Thursday) there was a little artillery practice by some of my batteries on the enemy's infantry. Friday morning, in accordance with orders from General Jackson, I occupied the line of the unfinished railroad — my extreme left resting near Sudley's ford; my right near the point where the road strikes the open field; Gregg, Field and Thomas in the front line — Gregg on the left and Field on the right, with Branch, Pender and Archer as supports. My batteries were in the open field in rear of the infantry, the nature of my pos

Only one brigade of Sturgis' reached him, but some of Cox's troops were about Manassas Junction. Franklin's and Sumner's corps joined Pope at Centreville after the battle. Thus it is seen that in the series of fights ending with the 30th August, General Pope had from 73,000 to 75,000 men against the 54,000 of the Confederates. There is no danger that the figures of the Federal forces are too high. General Pope was ever modest in estimating his own numbers. Thus Reynolds' division above, put by him at 2,500 in August, had over 6,000 after the battles around Richmond, and Ge
