e most cordial welcome from the people, who roused anew our indignation by thrilling details of the insults, cruelties, and injustice to which they had been subjected. At noon of Friday, we (i. e, Ewell's division, which was, as usual, in the advance,) halted, near Crooked Run Church. This was almost a necessity, as our men were largely broken down by their forced march in the burning sun. The next morning, the enemy being reported as advancing, we moved forward on the main road from Orange Court-House to Culpeper Court-House, about three miles, and took position, our left flank resting on the Southwest Mountain, and our artillery occupying several commanding positions.

Our total loss was about 125 killed, and 500 wounded, including many who were slightly injured. The enemy's loss was admitted by themselves to be far heavier, and was believed by competent judges on our side to be treble or quadruple our own. The enemy's troops engaged were principally the same that we met at Front Royal, Cross Keys, and Port Republic. We also took about 500 prisoners, including a General and many officers of rank. The faces of some of these suffered considerable elongation at hearing the fate to which Pope's infamous order had consigned them. The enemy were not expecting this onslaught of old Jack. On the contrary, they counted on at least a month of security in which to fatten on their infamous spoils. They were surprised, and, though not routed, received a defeat and a severe blow. On
