The Second Manassas campaign.
The 2d Virginia cavalry was assigned to duty as the advance guard of Jackson's corps.
McClellan, in his life of Stuart, says: Colonel Munford had seen much service in the Valley under Jackson, and had performed the same duty for him during the battles around Richmond.
At Bristoe Station Jackson sent Colonel Munford to surprise and capture the place; this he succeeded in doing, dispersing a cavalry company, capturing forty-three of an infantry regiment, and killing and wounding a goodly number.
He participated in the movements that culminated in the capture of Manassas Junction with a large quantity of stores, and when Ewell had to withdraw from Bristoe Station, the 2d and 5th regiments, under Munford and Rosser, covered his rear.
On the 28th, 29th and 30th of July, 1862, the fights at Grovetown and Manassas occurred.
There were numerous engagements of the cavalry, with only a few reports.
In one of these, near the Lewis House, Robertson's brig

The Maryland campaign.
Stuart's cavalry crossed the Potomac on the 5th of September; Fitz Lee moving on the New Market, Hampton on Hoyattstown roads, while Munford covered Sugar Loaf mountain, with his pickets extended as far as Poolesville.
The 6th regiment had been detached, and the 17th battalion sent on some special duty; so that Munford had only three regiments, the 7th, 12th and 2d.
On the 7th of September, Pleasanton's cavalry drove in Munford's pickets, and on the next day attaeked his command with superior numbers, driving the 12th regiment before them in some confusion.
The sharp shooters of the 2d regiment checked this advance near Barnesville.
On the following day, the 9th of September, occurred the fight at Monocacy Church, in which the 7th again suffered loss.
On the 10th Pleasanton attacked Munford on Sugar Loaf Mountain, but was repulsed; on the 14th Franklin's corps advanced in force, and Munford retired to a point near Frederick.

From the Valley to Fredericksburg.
On the 10th of October two columns of the Federal army advanced with the view of ascertaining the position of General Lee's army.
The one from Harper's Ferry, under General W. S. Hancock, was composed of 1,500 infantry, four regiments of cavalry and four pieces of artillery—numbering perhaps 5,000 men or more.
This advance was opposed by Colonel Munford with a part of the 2d, 7th and 12th Virginia cavalry.
He was supported by one gun of Chew s battery, and three of the Richmond Howitzers under Captain B. H. Smith, Jr.
Captain Smith lost a foot in this fight, and Lieutenant H. C. Carter, of this city, was badly wounded.
By one of those curious mistakes that sometimes occur, Colonel Munford mistook this Carter for J. W. Carter, who was in Chew's battery. McClellan in Life of Stuart follows this report.
So, we are engaged to-night in correcting, as well as preserving, histor
