I asked, How is that possible, General, for he is very polite to every one? Oh! hang him, he was polite enough. But he didn't say one word about his plans.

He said, Captain, as soon as you see the advancing line of the enemy rising thharge at once, without any further orders, to enable the artillery to bring off their guns. General Cooke then rode back around the right of our squadron. Captain Whiting turned to us and said, Cavalry! Attention! Draw saber! then added something to the effect, Boys, we must charge in five minutes. Almost immediately, the bayonets of the advancing foe were seen, just beyond our cannon, probably not fifty rods from us. Captain Whiting at once gave the order, Trot! March! and as soon as we were fully under way he shouted, Charge! We dashed forward with a wild cheer, in solid column of squadron front; but our formation was almost instantly broken by

While matters were in this condition Whiting's division, after crossing with much difficulty the wooded and marshy ground below Gaines's Mill, arrived in rear of that portion of the line held by the remnants of A. P. Hill's division.
