e's brigade, except the Third Virginia cavalry--say about fifteen hundred men, and two pieces of artillery. Proceeding through the village of Jefferson, part of the command crossed the Rappahannock at Waterloo bridge, and the remainder at Hart's Mill, a few miles below, and took the direct road to Warrenton. Reaching that place in the afternoon, I halted to close up and obtain information. No force of the enemy had been here for days. From this point I directed my march to the rear of Cedar Creek, with the view to destroy the railroad bridge over it, near Catlett's Station, and the telegraph line, and thus cut the enemy's line of communication. I had not proceeded far before a terrific storm set in, which was a serious obstacle to the progress of artillery, and gave indications of continuing for a sufficient time to render the streams on my return impassable. Lee's brigade was in advance, and the artillery being intrusted to one of Robertson's regiments, (Twelfth Virginia cavalr

fair the brigade lost three wounded, one mortally. The brigade remained in bivouac, at different places in the lower valley, until Saturday, the twenty-second November, when they moved, with the light division, from Jordan's Spring, on the Opequon, near Winchester. Marching up the Winchester and Staunton turnpike, we turned to the left at New Market, passed the Blue Ridge at Milam's Gap, then covered with snow, and on the twenty-seventh left the beautiful valley of Virginia. Passing by Madison and Orange, we reached the Massaponax Hill, near Fredericksburg, on Wednesday, the third of December, having made a march of one hundred and seventy-five miles in twelve days.

of the fourth. On the morning of sixth September, I crossed my division into Maryland, now increased to six brigades, by the addition of Kemper's brigade, Pickett's brigade, commanded by Brigadier-General Garnett, and Jenkins's brigade, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Walker, marched through Buckeystown, and camped on the banks of the Monocacy, marching next day to the Monocacy Junction, and going into camp near Frederick City. On the morning of the tenth, I marched through Boonsboroa, Funkstown, and Hagerstown, camping near the latter place on the Williamsport road, on the twelfth. On the fourteenth, I marched, on the Frederick road, in the direction of that city, hearing heavy firing, leaving Toombs's brigade in command of Hagerstown, and Eleventh Georgia regiment, of Anderson's brigade, in charge of wagon train. Halting just beyond Boonsboroa, Drayton's and Anderson's brigades were temporarily detached from my command, and ordered to report to General D. H. Hill. With my t

I immediately, upon reception of the above information, ordered Captain W. B. Clement, commanding the picket post, to draw in his pickets on the left to the junction of the Long Bridge with the Charles City (sometimes called Quaker) road, also to picket what is called the Turner road, a cross road leading from Long Bridge road to White Oak Swamp Bridge, and to extend his line on Charles City farther to my right, to guard against surprise in that direction, to be so picketed as regularly to communicate one with another, thus, in the speediest possible time, giving information to the reserve, which was at the bridge, a short distance this side, so as to be under cover of the woods, it not being practicable on the opposite side.

On the sixteenth of August, the division moved from Liberty Mills, in Orange County, to Mountain Run, in the same county, near Clarke's Mountain, below Rapidan Station, where it remained until the twentieth, when it crossed the Rapidan at Cunningham's Ford, and bivouacked near Stevensburg, in Culpeper. On the next day it moved past Brandy Station, and bivouacked near St. James's Church, on the road toward a ford on the Rappahannock, above the railroad station and below the mouth of Hazel River. The next day it moved in the direction of that ford, and, on ar

large number of prisoners, many stands of regimental colors, and twelve thousand stands of arms, besides some wagons, ambulances, &c., were taken. The next day, like the day after the first battle of Manassas plains, was stormy and excessively disagreeable. Orders were given early in the day for caring for the wounded, burying the dead, and collecting arms and other supplies. About noon, General Pryor,with his brigade, was thrown across Bull Run to occupy the heights between that and Cub Run, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the balance of the command marched to cross Bull Run at Sudley Ford. Crossing the run on the following day, the command marched for Chantilly, via the Little River turnpike. The enemy was reported in position in our front as we reached Chantilly, and he made an attack upon General Jackson before my troops arrived. He was repulsed, however, before my reinforcements got up, and disappeared during the night. On the second of September, the command ma

Two days after, he took possession of Coggins's Point, and maintained a force on the south side, some seven miles distant, on the road to Coggin's Point. I left Petersburg at ten A.

mation of the movements of the enemy. In a short time they returned, and, to my great surprise informed me that the enemy had crossed the bridge; and in a few moments they appeared between me and the town, not more than six hundred yards from the latter. This forced me to recall my squadron, and to send the gun into town, the only position in which it was available. Placing my guns in position here, I ordered my wagons to go by the Romney road (as I had agreed with Colonel Lee to do) to Darksville. The First North Carolina, with two guns, was sent as an escort for the wagons, and to hold the Winchester road, where the cross-road intersected it, in case I should have to fall back. After my wagons had all got off, and messages had been sent to bring in my pickets, (all of whom had to retire by Hedgesville, as the enemy had got completely in their rear,) I withdrew my two remaining guns from the town, as I was very unwilling to draw the fire of the enemy upon the village, and placed
