e west side of the Shenandoah Mountain, moving down the Staunton and Parkersburg turnpike. Milroy made an effort to stop it with artillery, but without success. Jackson bivouacked at night on Shaw's Fork, twenty-nine miles from Staunton. On the 8th he resumed his march; climbed the Bull Pasture Mountain, and from its plateau looked down on the village of MacDowell and Milroy's camps in the valley of the Bull Pasture. Though Jackson could have reached the village and the camps with artilleryopportunity to play his favorite flanking game, and that night Jackson determined to run the hazard of it. But in the mean time Schenck had left Franklin. Making thirty-four miles in twenty-three hours, he had reached Milroy at 10 A. M. of the 8th, with 1,300 infantry, one battery, and 250 cavalry. Jackson's reconnoissance on Litlington's Hill (the open ground on the western ridge) made it look as if the camp of the Federals and the village of MacDowell would be severely shelled. Milroy t

nt woods, just before reaching the little town of Flint Hill, where I had an amicable discussion with a Virginian upon secession as a Constitutional right. On the 8th we encamped near Amissville, from whence, after a short day's march, I pitched my tent in the front door-yard of an unwilling host on the Warrenton road. Our campsen Bayard and Buford, there was a signal station, which overlooked the whole country as far south as Orange Court House. Pope's Report. On the morning of the 8th, Pope, who had in person arrived at Culpeper Court House, sent word to Banks to move his corps to that town, and at the same time notified Siegel at Sperryville, tot seems, Pope left Sperryville at four o'clock in the afternoon, and proceeded in person to Culpeper Court House, arriving there (a distance of twenty miles) on the 8th, as we have said. In the mean time Jackson with his columns was pushing our cavalry back, and Buford and Bayard were constantly sending Pope word to that effect,

they came up on the 11th they gave us, as we have shown (King's division only), a force no larger than Jackson's. Yet this made him retreat. Of the fight at Cedar Mountain, Dabney says: Jackson meant to have fought at Culpeper Court House on the 8th. Had he done so, his victory would have been so much more complete as to silence every charge of fruitlessness; for we have seen that the supports which saved Pope from destruction only arrived at nightfall on the 9th. To silence such criticism, to show what would have happened had something not interposed of which we are not informed, it is sufficient to refer to what we have said of Pope's dispositions on the 8th. Had Jackson marched to Culpeper Court House on that day, he would not only have saved Pope much time in concentration, but he would have met, in addition to Banks's corps, the whole of Ricketts' division; and we may believe Siegel would have found a road upon which he could have arrived in time. Jackson's battle of C

ng to admit here the following from Crawford, Letter from Crawford to Major Gould, in History of the First, Tenth, and Twenty-ninth Maine. in his attempt to defend Banks against Pope: My positive orders were, when ordered out of Culpeper on the 8th, to resist the approach of the enemy at all hazards,--and this with one brigade of infantry, two batteries, and Bayard's cavalry. It is apparent, however, that this order does not justify Banks directly or inferentially; for on the 8th Jackson's e front with orders to hold a position and be reinforced if attacked, nor had Roberts, as Pope's chief-of-staff, imparted to Banks the instructions given to him on the 9th. That Crawford, who says he was to resist the approach of the enemy on the 8th, should think and urge that Banks was therefore justified on the 9th in assuming the offensive, and attacking an enemy whom he believed not to be in full force, contrary to the expectations of the commander-in-chief, who had ordered him to act on
