g, he advanced boldly in large force against our right wing. Gen. Jackson's corps occupied the right of our line, which rested on the railroad; Gen. Longstreet's the left, extending along the heights to the Rappahannock, above Fredericksburg. Gen. Stuart, with two brigades of cavalry, was posted on the extensive plain on our extreme right. As soon as the advance of the enemy was discovered through the fog, Gen. Stuart, with his accustomed promptness, moved up a section of his horse artillerGen. Stuart, with his accustomed promptness, moved up a section of his horse artillery, which opened with effect upon his flank, and drew upon the gallant Pelham a heavy fire, which he sustained unflinchingly for about two hours. In the meantime the enemy was fiercely encountered by Gen. A. P. Hill's division, forming Gen. Jackson's right, and, after an obstinate combat, repulsed. During this attack, which was protracted and hotly contested, two of Gen. Hill's brigades were driven back upon our second line. Gen. Early, with part of his division, being ordered to his suppor

We see officers, from colonels of regiments down to captains, lieutenants, and sergeants, giving their counsels and mingling their tears, songs, and prayers, with those of the private soldier, and a good number of those who are thus engaged have recently been made partakers of God's converting grace. Another fact worthy of notice consists in t

He communicated to Lieutenant Smith such facts as he thought would interest the General. To the narrative, as repeated to him by Lieutenant Smith, Jackson listened with fixed attention. The part taken in the fight by his old Stonewall Brigade deeply affected him. In the very crisis of the battle General Stuart rode up to them, and, pointing to the work he wished them to do, gave the order: Charge, and remember Jackson! They sprang forward at the word,. drove before them three times their own number, and decided the day. The General listened eagerly, and, trying to repress his tears, said: It was just like them to do so; just like them. They are a noble body of men. Smith said: They have indeed behaved splendidly; but you can easily suppose, General, that it was not without a loss of many v
