nder my orders. The whole brigade was speedily re-formed, and, supported cordially by the First brigade, which promptly advanced on its left, again advanced and charged the enemy. The enemy soon broke and fled in great disorder. We pursued them until darkness interposed, and we were ordered to a position in advance of the battle-field, where we slept on our arms. In the pursuit, this brigade captured a number of prisoners, among them Brigadier-General Prince, who was brought in by private John Booker, company I, Twenty-third Virginia regiment. He brought him to me; but as General Taliaferro was near, who was of superior rank, I ordered him to be taken to him, and to him he promptly surrendered. Just at the time the enemy broke, their cavalry charged us, but were received by a galling fire from this brigade. They broke, and were fired upon also by the First and Second, and General Branch's brigade, which had come up on our left, and fled with great precipitation and loss. I h

Here we received orders to halt and remain until late, when we were ordered to the road to follow in the pursuit. My loss in killed was only two; in wounded, eleven; and in missing, two--making a total of fifteen. The officers and men behaved well. Lieutenant-Colonel Gray and Major Cole, Twenty-second, and Captain Ashford, Thirty-eighth, handled their men skilfully, showing great coolness. Captain Ashe, my Assistant Adjutant-General, deserves notice for his conduct, being found at every point almost at the same time, directing the men. Lieutenant Young, my Aid-de-camp, acted with his usual efficiency. Language cannot express the appreciation I have for his services in action. Very respectfully, W. D. Pender.
