Gen. Walker mentions the following incident as taking place at this time. A powerful battery, supposed to be Jones' battalion of sixteen pieces, among them some 20-pounders, opened from the direction of Warrenton and even further to the South, gallantly replied to by Arnold's A, First Rhode Island which, having been in action against Stewart, had literally executed the order,—seldom, if ever heard except on the drill ground,—Fire to the rear!

On September 30, the Nineteenth regiment was withdrawn from the front and posted at Mitchell's Station on the railroad to protect the corps train. This was an excellent camping place. It was near Cedar Run, a small river, and there was an opportunity to bathe and wash clothes. Save the occasional shot of a picket, nothing disturbed the general quiet until October 11, when the regiment was ordered to fall in and begin a rapid march n

This fire from Stewart, coming as it did from the rear, on the road to Catlett's Station, over which the corps must pass to Centreville, its objective point, was a genuine surprise and threw the men of the First Division on the hill into momentary confusion, as it was well directed and rapid. A heavy fog enveloped the country, consequently the operations of the rebels were veiled from view of the Division commanders. At this time the Third Division was moving down the Catlett's.

The shells of still another Confederate battery, which had got around upon the Greenwich road, flew in a direction exactly opposite to that taken by the shells leaving Stewart's staff. It was said by Major McClellan, of Stewart's staff that shots from Stewart's guns passed clear over the Union troops and fell among the advancing l

Lee's works at Rappahannock Station and now held the line of the river. On the following day, Sept. 13, the corps crossed the north fork of the Rappahannock at Kelley's Ford on a pontoon bridge and camped a little north of Culpepper. Here the cavalry and artillery had a short engagement with the enemy, capturing two guns and a number of prisoners. On the 15th the march was resumed, the regiment moving through the town and pitching camp until the 16th. On that day it reached the Rapidan River, near Raccoon Ford, where pickets were established on the North bank, relieving cavalry which went to the rear. The rebel pickets were on the opposite bank within pistol range and shots were frequently exchanged. Camp was pitched a short distance from the river and here the Corps remained until the 30th of September. During this time one half of the Corps was constantly on picket duty on the north bank.

Francis A. Walker in his History of the Second Corps, says: The Second Corps, which had marched from near Culpepper to Bealton on the 11th, and on the 12th had marched from Bealton to Brandy Station, again took the route for Bealton, at 11 o'clock that night. As the column approached Bealton there was heard what seemed to be a rapid and persistent tire of skirmishers, and the troops, who had caught on to the general situation, at once

ere erroneously reported that Lee had begun his march upon Culpepper. As a result of this report, early in the morning of October 12, the Second, Fifth and Sixth Corps and Buford's Cavalry re-crossed the river and deployed upon the magnificent plain stretching from the southern bank to and around Brandy Station, advanced in the full pomp and circumstance of war to find and strike the enemy, if at Culpepper. Lee, deceived into the belief that Meade, by breaking his communication with the capitol had begun a bold movement upon Richmond, gave evidence before night that his columns, recalled from their northern march, were hurrying to throw themselves in front of the Second and Fifth Corps. At lark these corps had gone into camp upon the wide plain. Fires were built, as usual, and nothing more than an intent to remain and in the morning to renew the advance, was discernable. About 9 P. M. details were made to keep up the fires until midnight and in the deepest silence the two c

d. Col. Mallon commanded the third brigade of the Second Division, in which was the Nineteenth, commanded by Col. Wass. The column moved rapidly on, every man intent on getting as far ahead as possible. There was no voluntary straggling. Of the battle at Bristoe Station, First Sergt. Milton Ellsworth of Co. C, says: The 59th New York, of our brigade, was deployed on the left as flankers, to watch for the rebels, who were expected to appear at any time. When the column crossed Kettle's Run, the flankers were drawn in and did not go out again after crossing, probably thinking it unnecessary. After marching quietly along for some time, with our left flank thus unguarded, I saw some men marching along, dressed in blue, where our flankers should have been. Knowing that we had none out, I at once suspected them of being rebel skirmishers, disguised as Union men. I called the company commander's attention to them, asking who he thought they were. He said Flankers. I said that
