you deserve to be sent to the rear, and go you shall. And go it did. On July 3d, after being nicely refitted, the battery started to rejoin General A. P. Hill's Light Division, which, with the rest of the army, was driving McClellan towards the Federal gunboats on James river. The battery was then assigned to Maj. R. Lindsay Walker's Battalion of Light Artillery, and the scene of operations having shifted to Northern Virginia, we were soon on the road to Culpeper, and on the 9th of August, 1862, when Jackson came up with Pope at Cedar Run, took part in that battle, where Stonewall pretty effectually disposed of the man who had no lines of retreat, and whose headquarters were in the saddle. Pushing on to Warrenton Springs, on the 24th of August we took part in a furious artillery fight, preliminary to Jackson's move around Pope's army, which was soon accomplished, when the battery struck General Taylor's Federal brigade (which had come from Alexandria unsupported to captur

mander, General Fighting Joe Hooker having succeeded Burnside. Ah! who of the Crenshaw Battery does not remember Chancellorsville? Who can forget the incessant fighting of the 1st, 2d, and 3d of May, when we struck the enemy first in front, and then in rear, in the race down the plank road behind Rodes' Division after the Flying Dutchmen, of Howard's Eleventh Corps, when Jackson made his celebrated flank movement. （Howard's Corps was composed of Germans.) They were easy marks. But on the 3d, when we had to cut a road through the woods to prevent annihilation before we could get in position, it was not so easy, and as far as the eye could reach when we debouched from the road there was nothing to be seen but lines of battle. The Crenshaw Battery went into position near the centre of the battalion, and soon one of the hottest artillery fights of the war was on, while infantry engaged infantry on either side. After several hours' fighting our artillery actually drove the enemy fr

ire of infantry, but right well did the men acquit themselves, although they had to mourn the death of many brave men and one gallant officer, Lieutenant James Ellett, who fell early in the action. No officer of the company was more beloved than he, and none more deserved the affection of the men. After Burnside's bloody repulse, came a lull for three or four months, and we amused ourselves in winter quarters until the roads dried up and the spring campaign opened. In the latter part of April we were again upon the march, and came up with the enemy on the 1st of May at Chancellorsyille, but this time under a new commander, General Fighting Joe Hooker having succeeded Burnside. Ah! who of the Crenshaw Battery does not remember Chancellorsville?
