McCall's division, being flanked on the left by Longstreet's right, was driven from its position after a stubborn resistance; its place, was taken by Burns's brigade, reenforeed by Dana's and Sully's, and these troops recovered part of the ground lost by McCall.

While General field was absent we saw, in the shadows, three or four men riding toward us, one of them being in advance and having a cloak thrown around him. I recognized the figure at once as that of a Federal officer. what command is this? he asked. General field's, sir, was my answer. General field! I don't know him. perhaps not, as you are evidently in the wrong place. he at once turned to retreat, spurring his horse, and I gave the alarm. A soldier of the 47th Virginia (S. Brooke Rollins) now came forward and seized the bridle of the horse, saying to the rider, not so fast. the captured officer proved to be General McCall, of the Pennsylvania Reserves. the staff-officers were fired upon while attempting to ride back, and Captain H. J. Biddle, McCall's adjutant-general, was instantly killed. Owing to the darkness the others escaped.--Editors. but for the succoring forces, which should have been engaged by Jackson, Huger, Holmes, and Magruder, Mc-call would have be

M., and that between Huger and Slocum to the left, beginning about 3 P. M., were of artillery only, and were successful from tile Union point of view, in that they prevented the Confederate forces at these points from reenforcing Longstreet, while they enabled four Union brigades (12, 14, 15, and 16) to reenforce his opponents.

General Holmes was to take up position below me on the New Market or River road, to be in readiness to cooperate with me and to atta obstructions we were not disturbed while getting into position, except by the firing of a few shots that did no damage. Holmes got into position below me on the New Market road, and was afterward joined by Magruder, who had previously made an unsuche darkness the others escaped.--Editors. but for the succoring forces, which should have been engaged by Jackson, Huger, Holmes, and Magruder, Mc-call would have been entirely dislodged by the first attack. All of our other forces were within a rad in position for the battle of Frayser's farm, and after his batteries had misled me into opening the fight he subsided.
