der his command—thinks that he has drawn his enemy into a trap, and tries to surround him. Whilst he holds him in check in front, his two best regiments, under Colonel Scott, make a detour to the left, and come to strike the Federal troop in the rear. But this troop has dismounted, and in spite of its numerical inferiority boldly booty, make but a faint resistance, and abandon the field with a considerable number of prisoners. This hasty retreat upsets all the daring plans of Pegram. When Scott, sabring the stragglers and already menacing the artillery, reaches the road which the Unionists have followed, the fighting has ceased on the other side, and Gillmore is able to concentrate his forces against him. Scott throws himself into a wood, where he dismounts and presents a bold front; finally, as he is on the point of being surrounded, he reaches the plain and escapes from the Federals. The latter have lost fifty men, Pegram about three hundred. Gillmore pursued him as far as the

nt of concentration of the Confederates. Upon this information, Meade, thinking that they would assemble west of South Mountain, made all his arrangements for the 1st of July. In the mean time, a director of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Mr. Scott, who subsequently became Assistant Secretary of War, Thomas A. Scott was appointed Assistant Secretary of War by Secretary Cameron in 1861.—Ed. and who had organized a thorough system for gaining information in the country occupied by the CThomas A. Scott was appointed Assistant Secretary of War by Secretary Cameron in 1861.—Ed. and who had organized a thorough system for gaining information in the country occupied by the Confederates, told Couch on the night of the 30th that they were concentrating on Gettysburg instead of Chambersburg. It was impossible to be more promptly or more correctly informed. Unfortunately, this intelligence, forwarded by a courier from Frederick, did not reach Meade until the evening of the 1st, when it was no longer of any value, for the events of that day had but too clearly revealed the intentions of the enemy. While preparations were thus being made for the decisive conflict i

as Junction, and thence led them to battle. Page 249. Elzey takes the place of Kirby Smith in the command of the latter's brigade. Page 254. The official documents we have before us, and particularly one despatch from Patterson to General Scott, dated July 20, informing the latter of the departure of Johnston's troops for Manassas Junction, do not justify us in persisting to blame General Patterson as we have done: by mistake we exaggerated his forces; besides, he had with him only n to their homes. But even if he had had a more numerous and better organized army at his disposal, he could not long have prevented Johnston from escaping him, as the latter had in his rear a line of railway connecting him with Beauregard. General Scott, in advising him to watch and detain the Confederates, told him that the battle between Beauregard and McDowell would take place on the 18th. Now, on that day Johnston was still at Winchester; he only started during the day; and Patterson di
