The next division was Schurz's of two brigades, in line of battle along the Plank road, with two batteries which took positions and fired on the approaching Confederates. Schurz endeavored to form at right angles to their approach, but the mass of fugitives with wagons, ambulances, beef cattle, etc., entirely overwhelmed diverged to the left by a road to the White House, called the Bullock road. The casualties in Schurz's division were 919. In Buschbeck's brigade were 483.

Col. Crutchfield, with a shattered leg. During the night Jackson's left arm was amputated, and the next day he was taken in an ambulance via Spottsylvania, to a small house called Chandler's, near Guinea Station. For a few days his recovery was expected, but pneumonia supervened, and he died on May 10. In his last moments his mind wandered, and he was again upon the battle-field giving orders to his troops: Order A. P. Hill to prepare for action. Pass the infantry to the front. Tell Maj. Hawks —There was a pause for some moments, and then, calmly, the last words, Let us pass over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees. Jackson's fall left A. P. Hill in command, but Hill was himself soon disabled by a fragment of shell, and sent for Stuart. Rodes ranked Stuart, but the latter was not only best known to the army, but was of great popularity, and Rodes cheerfully acquiesced. His whole career, until his death at Winchester, Sept. 19, 1864, was brilliant, and justifie
