Hancock asking him if he would parade his regiment at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and putr, the general and his staff were seen to mount their horses and with them were the redcoated English officers. Lieut. Col. Devereux made no move except to send for the bugler. The gay cavalcade started from headquarters at a rapid gait, but whenstopped on the instant and rushed to their quarters to put on their equipments and get into line. Up to this time Lieut. Col. Devereux had not even ordered his orderly to saddle his little mare, but by the time Hancock and his companions had crossedeir service like that, let alone your splendid drill when we reached your camp, and I made them acknowledge it.

Charles Morgan, Hancock's chief of staff, was an he column marched through the town. Billy McGinnis was orderly sergeant of the right flank company. Turning to him, Col. Devereux said Drop out of the line and get your glee club up to the front. He did so and they were then told to strike up a tm all of them came gradually in during the night.

In an instant the two regiments, in all about 400 men are on the march ae foremost a little until a rebel battery is run forward and opens fire. Being subjected also to an enfilading fire, Col. Devereux says to Col. Mallon: Order your men to stand up, fire a volley by the rear and front rank and you will clean out thosd march back. Major Rice and about 70 of the men are left behind as skirmishers to protect the left of the line. As Col.

The headquarters of Gen. Meade, which were directly in the rear of the location of the Nineteenth, were shelled so severely that they were removed to another position. The rain of shot and shell was conti

Passing at this time, Colonel Devereux commanding the 19th Massachusetts volunteers, anxious to be in the right place, applied to n the tumult.
