hly beaten towards Strasburg. His flight was not stopped until he had made six miles south of Newtown, whence on the next morning he moved to the south side of Cedar Creek, and thence gradually retired again to Mount Jackson. The Rebel loss was 80 killed, 342 wounded, and 269 missing,total 691; 2 pieces of artillery, and many small arms. The Federal loss in killed and wounded was 568. Jackson was angry with General Garnett, and soon relieved him from the command of his brigade, General Winder of the Confederate service was appointed to its command. and preferred charges against him for trial before a court-martial. Speaking of him in his official report he says, Though our troops were fighting under great disadvantage, I regret that General Garnett gave orders to fall back, as otherwise the enemy's advance would have been retarded and other regiments brought up. Colonel John Campbell was rapidly advancing with his regiment, but night, and an indisposition of the enemy to pre

nutten town, and thence to Luray. Colonel Sullivan of Shields's division, who had been left to guard Columbia Bridge, informed Banks, about the first of May, that a deserter reported that on the thirtieth of April Jackson had moved with his whole force towards Harrisonburg; whence, he believed, he had returned and marched towards Port Republic. Tile deserter estimated his whole force to be about fifteen thousand men, composed of twelve or fifteen regiments commanded by Jackson, Taliaferro, Winder, and Ewell, and added that Jackson expected additional reinforcements. That Colonel Sullivan was in the same state of excitement as when at Strasburg was apparent from a despatch received from him, dated at Columbia Bridge at 2.25 P. M., addressed by signal to General Banks, announcing that Rebels drove in my pickets at Burnt Bridge and on Gordonsville road; started out reinforcements and am now driving them; will report fully.

meadows around the station, east of the Blue Ridge. On the 4th the artillery and trains took the road by Rockfish Gap to Staunton: the troops went by rail. On Sunday, the 5th, Jackson reached Staunton; the next day his troops arrived. So secretly had he moved that the people of the town were surprised. On the morning of the 7th the army moved against Milroy. Edwards's brigade in advance; .then Taliaferro's (3d); next Colonel Campbell's (2d); and in the rear the Stonewall brigade, General C. S. Winder (the 1st). The corps of Cadets of the Virginia Military Institute, where Jackson had. been a superintendent, was attached to the expedition. The troops moved on the Staunton and Parkersburg turnpike. In eighteen miles Jackson's advance came up with Milroy's first outposts. The Federal pickets were captured or dispersed, and Jackson went on. On this day, for the first time, Milroy knew that Jackson was moving on MacDowell; he therefore ordered his troops to concentrate at that plac

It was now five o'clock in the morning. As my eye fell on the columns of the enemy under Winder moving up in support of their batteries, I ordered my gunners to fire upon them; and at the samend horses. He saw his battery, sometimes almost silenced, holding well up to punishment, until Winder ordered it to change front to the left and bring part of the guns to bear with solid shot, to shbservation of the scene: When the Fifth Virginia was thrown forward as skirmishers in advance of Winder's brigade, which was deployed in line of battle, a rush was made for the hill, and they [our thrswer this, I resume my narrative.

; then on, again to stop: motion alternating with rest, and rest with motion. Our tired troops were more fatigued than if they had made a march of twice the distance. It was eleven o'clock at night when our division arrived at Culpeper, having made eight miles in eight hours. Why General Pope was hurrying his forces into and around Culpeper Court House will appear from a review of the movements of the enemy. On the nineteenth of July, Jackson, with two divisions of troops, commanded by Winder and Ewell, arrived near Gordonsville. General Lee thought that important railroad place was in danger; and from what we have seen of the instructions given by Pope to Banks at Warrenton, he might well have thought so. Jackson, finding Pope strong in numbers, asked for reinforcements, and the whole of A. P. Hill's division was added to his army. On the seventh of August, Jackson moved his three divisions of troops from their respective encampments near Gordonsville, in the direction of Cu

Before the two brigades of Archer and Pender were added to this force, the third (or Stonewall) brigade of Winder's division, on Branch's left, was prolonged so far into the timber that its fire took the repulsed regiments in flank as they were retreating across the wheat-fietubble-field before they entered the woods, and. then that they totally surprised the enemy, driving him back some hundreds of yards farther, and almost capturing Winder's battery,--the very thing which Banks told Roberts he thought he could do and should do,--we are forced to the conclusion that Banks instead of fearing an attack

regiments and four companies I should have added to the assaulting column would have been nothing to the six brigades of the enemy in reserve, and could not have given us the victory. Banks knows this now: possibly even Crawford understands it. The fight we made against the overpowering numbers of the enemy was far more useful to Pope's army in the events that followed the night, than had we been ordered up in time, to dash ourselves, with Crawford's brigade, uselessly against those of Winder's and Hill's divisions. This is the first time I have publicly noticed this accusation by Banks, and should not now (believing it unworthy of notice) but for the part it bears in this history. In dismissing it, I should add that Banks affirms that he sent me half-a-dozen times an order to move to support Crawford. In his behalf I think it should be stated, that General Banks honestly thinks that if he sent me such orders, I am entirely responsible whether I received them or not. Did he
