s 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 volunteers, also joined, and with the remainder of General Elzey's brigade, was added to the centre and left, then threatened. I did not push my success at once, because I had no cavalry, and it was reported and reaffirmed by Lieutenant Heinrich's topographical engineers, sent to reconnoitre, that the enemy was moving a large column two miles to my left. As soon as I could determine this not to be an attack, I advanced both my wings, drove in the enemy's skirmishers, and when night closed, was in position on the ground previously held by the enemy, ready to attack him at dawn. My troops were recalled to join in the attack on Port Republic. The enemy's attack was decided by four P. M., it being principally directed agains

times was the captured battery lost and won, the enemy fighting with great determination. Colonel Seymour, of the Sixth Louisiana, and Major Wheat, of the battalion, on the left; Colonel Stafford, of the Ninth, in the centre, and Colonel Kelley, of the Eighth, on the right — all acted with the most determined gallantry, and were as gallantly supported by their officers and men. Members of each of the regiments engaged in the charge were found dead under the guns of the captured battery Captain Surget, A. A. General, distinguished himself greatly and rendered the most important service on the left. Lieutenant Hamilton, aidde-camp, gave me valuable assistance in rallying and re-forming the men, when driven back to the edge of the wood, as did Lieutenant Killmartin, of the Seventh Louisiana regiment, temporarily attached to my staff. Circumstances unfortunately detained the Seventh regiment, under the gallant Colonel Hays, in another part of the field. Its record of one hundred and f

I had Courtnay's, Brockenbrough's, Raines's, and Lusk's batteries. The enemy testified to the efficiency of their fire. Captain Courtnay opened the fring their fire with accuracy and spirit. Those engaged were the batteries of Captains Courtnay, Lusk, Brockenbrough, Rice, and Raines, while those of Cutshaw and Caskie were held in reserve.

enandoah, camped near Mount Crawford, and captured two of the enemy's pickets. Next morning, June twelfth, we occupied Harrisonburgh, captured about two hundred prisoners, many of them severely wounded in the Cross-Keys fight. We also captured medicines, wagons, camp equipage, and about two hundred Belgian guns. Here we again had evidence of precipitate retreat by the enemy. I advanced my picket to New-Market, and then to Mount Jackson, and held that position until relieved by Brigadier-General Robertson. On the thirteenth, a Yankee major and surgeon came up with twenty-eight ambulances, under a flag of truce, asking the privilege of carrying off their wounded. For military reasons, it was declined by General Jackson. (They having enough surgeons within our lines to attend to them.) Having received orders from General Jackson to move back within my regiment to Port Republic, and await further orders, I there learned that he was en route for Richmond, and that I was to follow.

the enemy, I ordered him to move to the rear and fill his limbers again. I then went to look after my other section, on the left. After getting nearly there, I found that it had already been ordered to the rear. The artillery duel was a sharp one, having been fought principally with canister and short-range shell. The following is a list of the casualties sustained in my company: Thomas Jordan, supposed to be mortally wounded in head; Samuel S. Carpenter, gunner, severely in arm; William McAllister, slightly in side; John Mackay, slightly in thigh; George Byrd, slightly in cheek. I lost two horses, killed; three were disabled, and had to be left on the field. Strength on the eighth, rank and file, seventy; strength on the ninth, rank and file, fifty-five-eleven not engaged.

Colonel Munford, with cavalry and some artillery, advanced about three miles beyon, which had advanced toward the town, was driven back by the artillery in great confusion. Captain Wooding's battery of my brigade did beautiful service from its position; the precision and accuracytured between three and four hundred. I do not estimate the number taken by other troops. Captain Wooding's battery had, during this time, been rendering most effective service, and the effect of hiver, 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 across North-River, and opened on their infantry,

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-General, when he directed that I should send one section of my battery to the support of the left. I did so, under the command of Lieutenant McKendree, who reported to the General in person and was ordered to take position on the extreme left. Of the operations of this section the General must be acquainted, as it was under his immediate observation nearly the whole time. With Captain O'Brien's permission, I ordered the other section, under command of Lieutenant Carpenter, to take a position on the extreme right, as there was no artillery there, and by so doing to get a cross-fire upon the enemy. He moved forward until within short range of the enemy's guns, and opened upon them with shell. Very soon the i
