scout, and our hopes were high that this time something would be done that would reflect credit upon our regiments. No wonder that the rebels stopped at this stream, with the intention to make it the last ditch. No better position could be found. A narrow, bold, dashing stream waters a fruitful and lovely country, teeming with the heaviest crops. Along the southern bank a long and broken range of hills, wooded and cleared, stretches through Orange and Madison, and south-west through Albemarle. A perfect line of little hills along the river afford so complete defence against an approaching force as to need nothing but resolute men on their crests to drive back superior forces and hold the river completely. Positions for artillery are everywhere, and the fords commanded at every step. But on we pressed. Suddenly the enemy's pickets showed themselves; but a short dash, and away they fled. A signal-station, from which all our movements had been watched, was next broken up,

Culpeper Court-House, August 5, 1862. Early on Friday morning it was noised abroad that we were on the move. Orderlies galloped here and there, and yet no one knew how soon or where we were to go. But the bugle soon undeceived us, and by noon we were on the move. Bayard, with two regiments, had gone early towards Madison, and soon after two other regiments were on the move, their long line filing away towards the fords of the Rapidan. A single glance at headquarters showed that the body-guard of Gen. Crawford were standing in silence, waiting for the movement of the chief, and it soon became known that the expedition, whatever its destination, was to be guided and directed by him. Silently we wound our way through the woods towards the river, and just as it became dark we halted at the Raccoon Ford.

No sooner had the enemy appeared in the main street of the town than our troops were upon them, driving them back with the sabre. They were hastily retreating, when Capt. Hammond, with his squadron of the New-York cavalry, came furiously charging into the town up the Gordonsville road. Already he had fought the enemy at the depot, and again his brave men were upon them. On, too, came Captains Flint and Wells, of Vermont, and the enemy turning, fled in the utmost confusion. During the fight, which was hand to hand, in a narrow street, several of our men were killed and wounded, and the enemy lost a large number. Twenty dead bodies were counted lying in the streets, and as the rebels fell wounded from their horses, the people rushed from their houses and carried them in. The balls flew everywhere.

he way. The advanced guard soon reached Summerville's Ford, where we crossed the river. It was a fine sight, that bright and cool summer's morning, to see that long line of brave fellows filing regularly and rapidly across the shallow stream. Every one was in the best of spirits. We were advancing, and ahead of us was a leader who we knew would not lead us on towards the enemy and stop before he reached him. Many of us had come but recently from a long and tedious trip, under our late Gen. Hatch. We were going to revisit the scene of our former scout, and our hopes were high that this time something would be done that would reflect credit upon our regiments. No wonder that the rebels stopped at this stream, with the intention to make it the last ditch. No better position could be found.

They were hastily retreating, when Capt. Hammond, with his squadron of the New-York cavalry, came furiously charging into the town up the Gordonsville road. Already he had fought the enemy at the depot, and so determined was the resistance and the fighting, that instances occurred in which our men were taken prisoners and again recaptured. A sergeant of the body-guard had his horse shot and was taken prisoner. He was recaptured by Captain Hammond in his charge, and in his turn captured one of the enemy, whom he brought into camp.
