The other portions of the command followed. The First battalion. When the command retired to the north bank of Broad Run, he, with a small portion of his battalion, became separaike. The enemy fled precipitately until they had crossed Broad Run, at Buckland's Mills, where Hampton's and Jones's brigadepied a very strong position west of the run. The banks of Broad Run in this vicinity are very steep, and, therefore, are fordwever, succeeding in getting his command in safety across Broad Run after the most desperate fighting, in which Pennington's eral Kilpatrick saw that Custer's brigade was safe across Broad Run, he directed him to fall back slowly, and fighting if purces this might seem a foolhardy errand, having to recross Broad Run, which he did at the bridge, and to run the gauntlet of s

ed near Gainesville. With Hooker's division of Heintzelman's corps I moved along, the railroad toward Manassas Junction, to reopen our communications and to be in position to cooperate with the forces along the Warrenton pike. On the afternoon of that day a severe engagement took place between Hooker's division and Ewell's division of Jackson's corps, near Bristoe Station, on the railroad. Ewell was driven back along the railroad, but at dark still confronted Hooker along the banks of Broad Run. The loss in this action was about three hundred killed and wounded on each side. Ewell left his dead, many of his wounded, and some of his baggage on the field. This engagement is known as Kettle Run (see map, p. 467). The Confederate force consisted of Early's brigade, with two regiments of Forno's, two of Lawton's, and Brown's and Johnson's batteries. After disputing Hooker's advance for some hours, Ewell withdrew under fire.--Editors. I had not seen Hooker for many years, and

s it. They failed. When Hill approached it, the entire Army of the Potomac had passed it, excepting Warren's corps, which was not then in sight of the Confederates. The Third Corps, in the rear of the troops that had passed, was just crossing Broad Run, and Hill pushed forward to attack it. At about noon, when he was preparing to charge, he was startled by the apparition of Warren's corps coming upon his rear. This had outstripped Ewell's, whose advance it had encountered in the morning nearretreat Oct. 18. with his whole army. Meade followed him the next day, but could not touch him, excepting with his cavalry. These were almost continually engaged in spirited but not serious skirmishing, excepting in an encounter Oct. 19. on Broad Run, near Buckland's Mills, between the divisions of Kilpatrick and Hampton, the latter under the personal directions of Stuart. Kilpatrick was defeated by a stratagem. Stuart allowed him to flank Hampton, when the latter fell back, making way fo

es of prisoners, some 600 in all, were marched past, on their way to Washington. They looked gaunt and weary, and had, for the most part, a dogged air. Many were mere boys and these were mostly hollow-cheeked and pale, as if the march were too much for them. Their clothes were poor, some of a dust-color, and others dirty brown, while here and there was a U. S. jacket or a pair of trousers, the trophies of some successful fight. Some were wittily disposed. One soldier of ours cried out: Broad Run is a bad place for you, boys. Ya-as, said a cheery man in gray, but it's puty rare you get such a chance. An hour before daylight came General Warren, exhausted with two nights' marching, and a day's fight, but springy and stout to the last. We whipped the Rebs right out, he said. I ran my men, on the double-quick, into the railroad cut and then just swept them down with musketry. I got up and gave him a little brandy that was left in my flask; he then lay down and was fast asleep in

Ewell was driven back along the railroad, but still confronted Hooker at dark along the banks of Broad Run, immediately in front of Bristow station, at which point I arrived at sunset. The loss in this engagement was about three hundred killed and wounded on each side, the enemy leaving his dead, many of his wounded, and much of his baggage on the ived at Warrenton at daylight next morning. Here we remained in camp until the morning of the twenty-seventh, when we received orders to take the advance in the direction of Gainesville. We started at daylight.

were broken and repulsed. Their places were soon supplied by fresh troops, and it was apparent that the Federal commander had now become aware of the situation of affairs, and had turned upon General Jackson with his whole force. In pursuance of instructions to that effect, General Ewell, upon perceiving the strength of the enemy, withdrew his command, part of which was at the time engaged, and rejoined General Jackson at Manassas Junction, having first destroyed the railroad bridge over Broad Run. The enemy halted at Bristoe. General Jackson's force being much inferior to that of General Pope, it became necessary for him to withdraw from Manassas and take a position west of the turnpike road from Warrenton to Alexandria, where he could more readily unite with the approaching column of Longstreet. Having fully supplied the wants of his troops, he was compelled for want of transportation to destroy the rest of the captured property. This was done during the night of the twenty-se

The destruction of the railroad bridge across Broad Run was intrusted to Lieutenant (now Captain) Boswell, of the engineekept, with the main portion, on General Jackson's right, crossing Broad Run a few miles above Bristoe, and intersecting the railroad to the rposition which commanded the rear of our line and the crossing of Broad Run. General Ewell then informed me that he had received orders from ce; and he gave the orders for the withdrawal of our force across Broad Run. At this time the Louisiana regiments were actively engaged, andawton's brigade was formed in line of battle on the north bank of Broad Run, and some batteries were placed in position, and Hays's brigade wsible to move them; he then ordered me to destroy the bridge over Broad Run, and, at day-break on the following morning, to fire the cars and
