loss. Disorder was also to some extent communicated to the Second Virginia cavalry, but its commander, Colonel Mumford, soon re-formed it, and gallantly drove back the Federals, and captured some of their number. From information received respecting Shields's movements, and from the fact that he had been in possession of Front Royal for over forty-eight hours, and had not succeeded in effecting a junction with Fremont, as originally designed, I became apprehensive that he was moving via Luray, for the purpose of reaching New-Market, on my line of retreat, before my command should arrive there. To avoid such a result, I caused White-House Bridge, which was upon his assumed line of march, over the south fork of the Shenandoah River to New-Market, to be burnt; and also Columbia Bridge, which was a few miles further up the river. On the second of June, the enemy's advance came within artillery range of, and commenced shelling our rear-guard, which caused most of the cavalry, and th

, soon taught him the importance of the about-face and doublequick in his drills. I then kept up a fire upon his retreating column, advancing by half-battery, so long as it was in sight. After remaining some time at the last position occupied, some half a mile below the bridge, I received orders to move to camp. Early in the morning, on the ninth instant, I received orders to move my battery across the South-River. After proceeding a short distance down the river on the road leading to Swift Run, the enemy's pickets were observed. Two of my pieces were unlimbered, and one or two rounds drove them off. I then received orders to limber up and move to the right. About this time the enemy opened fire upon us. I was then ordered to move my pieces forward and through a wood that was just in front of me. After examining the wood I found it was impossible to move artillery through, in consequence of the thick undergrowth. I reported this fact to Captain O'Brien, Assistant Adjutant-Gene

from his original position, while the Federal advance had fallen back to the ground occupied by them in the morning. General Taylor, of the Eighth brigade of Louisiana troops, having arrived from the vicinity of the bridge, at Port Republic, toward which he had moved in the morning, reported to General Ewell about two P. M., ann, advanced and drove the enemy more than a mile, and remained on his flank ready to make the final attack. General Taylor, with the Eighth brigade, composed of Louisiana troops, reported about two P. M., and was placed in the rear. Colonel Patton, with the Forty-second and Forty-eighth regiments, and Irish battalion, Virginia voer part of the field, assailed by a superior force in the front and on the flanks, with two batteries in position within point-blank range, nobly did the sons of Louisiana sustain the reputation of their State. Three times was the captured battery lost and won, the enemy fighting with great determination. Colonel Seymour, of the

my making a stand at that place, it was not entered until the next day. Here I joined my regiment. Captains Dickinson of company A, and Whitehead of company E, were sent to destroy the bridge on Buck Creek, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at North-Mountain Depot. They captured many valuable stores, which they sent to Martinsburgh to add to the splendid prize found in that town. On the twenty-eighth of May, I took two squadrons of my regiment to within one mile of Williamsport, (with one tant, about nine A. M., the advance of General Shields's division approached Port Republic, on the Swift-Run Gap road, and while a part of their cavalry dashed into the village, they opened fire from a section of artillery on the bridge across North River. Soon two pieces (a six-pounder and twelve-pounder howitzer) were brought across South-River, and planted in the village. As soon as their firing had disclosed their approach, Captain G. W. Wooding brought out his battery on the bluffs acros
