Aroused, however, on the evening of the 27th, to some appreciation of the condition of affairs, he sent one division (Hookers) of Heintzelman's corps to Bristoe, which attacked the brigades of Lawton, Early, and Forno (Hays's) of Ewell's division, who successively retired, as they had been directed to do, with little loss, upon the main body at Manassas Junction.
