of which 46 were officers. In addition to this, Shields claims to have captured 2 guns, 4 caissons, and 1,000 small arms. Our loss was (from Shields's official report), in killed and wounded, 504. When the enemy fled, his flight was rapid, and, as described by the fugitives, fatiguing. Jackson, forcing his men along the valley pike all night, pushed on through Strasburg, Battle-fields of the South, vol. i., Ashton's letter, p. 324. and did not rest until far enough towards Charlottesville to be secured against a rapid pursuit. As narrated, I proceeded on the morning of the 25th to unite my forces with the advance under Banks. Everywhere there were signs of a hasty retreat. To hinder pursuit, bridges, whether over pike or railroad, had been destroyed by the fugitives. We found dead and wounded in houses along the road; and in a miserable hut there lay a poor fellow, a wounded ecbel, hit so lard by a shell that his arm had been fractured, his right leg badly lacerate

end forward detachments of his cavalry to break up and destroy the Virginia Central Railroad; and at the same time, with a view of destroying the enemy's communications by rail in the direction of Gordonsville, Banks was on the fourteenth of July ordered to send an infantry brigade, with all his cavalry, to Culpeper Court House, from whence the cavalry were to take possession of Gordonsville and destroy the railroad for ten or fifteen miles east, while another detachment was to move on Charlottesville, destroy a railroad bridge there, and break up communications. But on the seventeenth of July Banks reported that General Hatch, commanding the cavalry, had started on his march with infantry, artillery, and train-wagons, and had at that date succeeded in getting no farther than Madison Court House. The arrival of the enemy at Gordonsville, on the sixteenth of July, rendered the contemplated movement impossible. On the nineteenth of July we had moved our camp to Little Washington,

most within reach of his guns, himself unwounded, placed his own body and his own frail life between his friend and the enemy. Major Savage and Captain Henry S. Russell were captured together; the former, lingering for a few weeks, died at Charlottesville, but the latter I rejoice to number as among the survivors of the officers of the Second. Nowhere can I find more fitting words to apply to this knightly act than those used by the aged father of Major Savage, under date of August 20, 186d Massachusetts infantry, by A. H. Quint, pp.110, 111. Surrounded by many of their men killed in the action, I saw dead upon the field Captains Cary, Goodwin, Abbott, Williams, and Lieutenant Perkins. Major Savage had been removed, to die at Charlottesville. Never in the entire history of the Second Massachusetts Regiment had its percentage of loss been so great. Not at Winchester, Antietam, Chancellorsville; not at Gettysburg, Resaca, the Atlanta campaign, or in the march to the sea,--was
