them every few moments, until entering a body of woods, the Fourth formed in line of battle; throwing skirmishers in front and left flank, it moved on down the McGaheysville road. I followed with my regiment in line and about a hundred paces in rear. The Fourth regiment halted, after proceeding about a quarter of a mile, and remablic. Whereupon, I immediately put my regiment under arms and awaited orders. In a very little while, I was directed to move my regiment to a position on the McGaheysville road and to throw out a line of skirmishers. This put me in position on the left, and was the only point from which a flank movement of the enemy was apprehen assumed command of the brigade. The general commanding having determined to give battle, the cavalry were disposed of as follows: The Second on picket on the McGaheysville road, and on General Ewell's right flank. The Sixth and Seventh were thrown across the river, protecting the baggage train. Two compapanies, Captains Myers a

himself when short of cannoneers. The enemy's fire soon ceased, and his guns withdrew from the field. None of our guns or caissons were lost or injured in this affair. On Monday morning, June ninth, I rode down from Port Republic, on the Swift-Run Gap road, and found the pickets of General Shields's advance being driven in by Brigadier-General C. S. Winder, with skirmishers and Carpenter's battery. The enemy had a battery of six guns (five of them rifled) posted on an old coaling, at Lewiston, from which they soon opened an accurate fire upon our approaching infantry. Their battery was at once engaged by two rifled guns of Captain Poague's battery, posted in an open field, to the left of the road. Just then the Major-General commanding sent me back to Port Republic to hurry up the Eighth brigade of Brigadier-General R. Taylor. Having done this, I proceeded to order up the rifled guns from our different batteries. Many of them I found short of ammunition, from the previous da

the enemy, and about eight hundred muskets. Also recaptured one of General Jackson's staff. We encamped about midnight near the top of the mountains, having been without rations for either man or horse for twenty-four hours. June tenth, we were engaged most of the delay, picking up straglers, and sending off prisoners to Lynchburgh, by the dismounted men of my command. June eleventh, we started again for the Valley, crossed the south and middle branches of the Shenandoah, camped near Mount Crawford, and captured two of the enemy's pickets. Next morning, June twelfth, we occupied Harrisonburgh, captured about two hundred prisoners, many of them severely wounded in the Cross-Keys fight. We also captured medicines, wagons, camp equipage, and about two hundred Belgian guns. Here we again had evidence of precipitate retreat by the enemy. I advanced my picket to New-Market, and then to Mount Jackson, and held that position until relieved by Brigadier-General Robertson. On the thirte

, General Ewell was directed to move from his position at an early hour, on the morning of the ninth, toward Port Republic, leaving General Trimble with his brigade, supported by Colonel Patton with the Forty-second Virginia infantry and the First battalion of Virginia regulars, to hold Fremont in check, with instructions if hard pressed to retire across the North-River, and burn the bridge in their rear. Soon after ten o'clock, General Trimble with the last of our forces had crossed the North River, and the bridge was destroyed. In the mean time, before five in the morning, General Winder's brigade was in Port Republic, and having crossed the south fork by a temporary wagon bridge, placed there for the purpose, was moving down the river road to attack the forces of General Shields. Advancing a mile and a half, he encountered the Federal pickets and drove them in. The enemy had judiciously selected his position for defence. Upon a rising ground near the Lewis House, he had plan

The enemy made a reconnoissance in the afternoon, and, going forward, I found General Elzey drawing up his own and General Taylor's brigades in position. I e for defence. It was decided to post my artillery (Courtnay's battery) on the hill to the south of the small stream, and immediately on the left of road from Union Church to Port Republic. You directed my brigade to take the right of our line of defence, and occupy the pine hill to the east of the road and the battery, but some, and retired with their battery. After some minutes' brisk fire by the enemy's sharp-shooters, their entire left wing retreated to their first position, near Union Church, on the Kisseltown road. At this time, General Taylor with his brigade joined me. He had previously been ordered to my support, and I had directed him to marc

We retained that position until about one o'clock, in hearing of heavy cannonading and murection of Port Republic. On our reaching the brow of tile heights, on the left bank of the Shenandoah, overlooking Port Republic, the battalion was detached from the rest of the brigade, and order position in the wheat-field near the bridge, commanding both it and the country beyond the Shenandoah River. This piece drove the enemy's cavalry from beyond the river, and fired two shots at a six-graze, I was very much surprised to hear a brisk cannonading at or near the bridge over the Shenandoah River. Knowing that the enemy was on that side of the river, and believing that he had made his

After Shields had passed Warrenton, my regiment was, for the first time, assembled; finding over one hundred unarmed recruits added to my regiment, I was sent to Richmond to get arms, and while en route for that place, General Jackson started after Banks.
