eavy burden being in the hard tack and salt pork eaten at two or three short halts or gnawed or nibbled on the march. On the arrival of the First Division, the line of march was taken up for Bristoe Station; the Second Division, commanded by Gen. Webb, with two batteries of artillery, taking the northwesterly side of the railroad; the Third Division, under Gen. Alexander Hayes, taking the south-easterly side, and the First Division, under Caldwell as rear guard. Col. Mallon commanded the thiention to them, asking who he thought they were. He said Flankers. I said that these were drawn in when we crosssed the stream. He acknowledged that this was so and, looking back, saw the 59th New York following. At this moment an aide of Gen. Webb's staff was passing and his attention was called to the strangers. He supposed that they were the 59th New York, but on learning that it was in column, he immediately reported the matter to the general, who ordered that the 59th New York be a

This fire from Stewart, coming as it did from the rear, on the road to Catbattle, which, with the help of artillery, soon had Stewart in full retreat down the Catlett's Station road, wh every avenue of escape, but with the retirement of Stewart, the road to Catlett's was opened and over this thet Rhode Island which, having been in action against Stewart, had literally executed the order,—seldom, if ever xactly opposite to that taken by the shells leaving Stewart's staff. It was said by Major McClellan, of StewarStewart's staff that shots from Stewart's guns passed clear over the Union troops and fell among the advancing lines Stewart's guns passed clear over the Union troops and fell among the advancing lines of Ewell, on the other side, actually checking their advance. This shows how closely the corps was invested a

On September 30, the Nineteenth regiment was withdrawn from the front and posted at Mitchell's Station on the railroad to protect the corps train. This was an excellent camping place. It was near Cedar Run, a small river, and there was an opportunity to bathe and wash clothes. Save the occasional shot of a picket, nothing disturbed the general quiet until October 11, when the regiment was ordered to fall in and begin a rapid march northward. The re

wer of balls from the enemy and a storm of cheers from his comrades. The conduct of the men in this spirited affair was excellent and that of the recruits particularly so, as this was their first engagement. The casualties were: Lieutenant Colonel Ansel D. Wass, commanding the brigade, wounded slightly at the opening of the engagement. Captain J. F. Plympton and Lieutenant W. F. Rice, wounded in scalp. Lieutenant John J. Ferris, wounded slightly in the ear. Sergeant Dunbar Ross, Coneteenth. The strength of the regiment in this engagement was but 190 officers and men. Colonel Mallon of the Forty-Second New York, commanding the brigade, had been killed early in the action and the command of the brigade devolved upon Lieut. Col. Wass, of the Nineteenth Massachusetts. In relating the incidents of the battle, General Walker says: And soon four hundred and sixty prisoners, with two colors, are brought from under the very noses of the supporting brigades of Davis and Walk

arduous in its history. Pushing northward to the support of Gregg, and marching all night, Fayetteville was reached about 6 o'clock in the morning and the troops were told to get their breakfast. The halt made the evening before, says General Warren in his official report, but little more than sufficed for the establishment of the sentinels, preparation of meals, etc., so that sleep had scarcely closed the eyes of one of the command since they awoke on the morning of the 12th. After oement of Stewart, the road to Catlett's was opened and over this the Second Division took the advance. The Third Division lay in line of battle until the Second had passed and then followed. Everyone was perfectly well disposed to march, says Warren, and there was, for the once, no complaint as to the pace set by the head of the column. The First Division still held its position. Gen. Walker mentions the following incident as taking place at this time. A powerful battery, supposed to be J

Thompson, who had command of the two left flank companies of the Nineteenth, not wishing to weaken his line, allowed Sergeants Corrigan and Maloney and private Johnson, all of Co. E, to advance to the pieces. They destroyed one gun and brought in two and a limber and four horses. Men were at once furnished from the First Minnesota and Andrew Sharpshooters, who brought in the other two pieces. Sergeant Corrigan limbered up one of those taken by the Nineteenth, mounted the saddle leader and drove it in triumph down the field and over the railroad track with a bump into the lines, amid a shower of balls from the enemy and a storm of cheers from his comrades.
