ng. Fearing for my rear guard, and having only three pieces of artillery, with two small squadrons of cavalry, I withdrew to our main lines. During that day I held the enemy in strict observance, but had no opportunity to strike at him. Our picket lines were established, and well maintained. On the seventh, I was ordered by General Lee to reconnoitre on the right flank of the enemy with my command. This was done as the infantry advanced in front. I proceeded through Gatewood farm to Carter's mill. The enemy had retreated, and a few stragglers were fallen in with. My personal observation was confined to the right and centre of my line, as I was unable to leave these positions during the two days operations. I must, therefore, refer you to the report of Colonel McGruder for information as to the occurrences on the left, where he was stationed. I can confirm the reports of Colonels Baker and Young from my own personal knowledge of all the facts stated. I neglected to state that

ng near that place, I found my way blocked by the baggage trains and artillery of General Jackson's command. Directing the artillery and ambulances to follow the road, I left it, with the cavalry, and proceeded by farm roads and by-paths, parallel to General Jackson's route, to reach the head of his column, which left Salem and The Plains early in the morning for the direction of Gainesville. The country was exceedingly rough, but I succeeded, by the aid of skilful guides, in passing Bull Run Mountain without passing Thoroughfare Gap, and, without incident worthy of record, passed through Haymarket and overtook General Jackson near Gainesville and reported to him. Ewell's division was in advance, and to my command was intrusted guarding the two flanks during the remainder of the pending operations, (twenty-sixth.) As Lee's brigade passed Haymarket, he received information of a train of forage wagons of the enemy, and sent out promptly a regiment and captured it. Having made disposit

illery road to the rear would have been gained on our left, and the line of retreat cut off. Colonel Gordon, the Christian hero, excelled his former deeds at Seven Pines, and in the battles around Richmond. Our language is not capable of expressing a higher compliment. General Rodes says the men and officers generally behavefatigue, the officers and men fought most heroically in the two battles in Maryland. The division lost three thousand out of less than nine thousand engaged at Seven Pines. Four thousand out of ten thousand in the battles around Richmond. But now, the loss was thirty-two hundred and forty-one (3241) in two battles out of less tha Sharpsburg, before he would quit the field. The heroic Colonel Fry, Thirteenth Alabama, and Colonel O'Neal, Twenty-sixth Alabama, who had both been wounded at Seven Pines, were once more wounded severely at Sharpsburg, while nobly doing their duty.

and along this I posted the Twelfth Georgia regiment, the Twenty-fifth, Forty-fourth, Forty-ninth, Fifty-second, and Fifty-eighth Virginia regiments, with the Thirteenth Georgia on the left, all being so disposed as to present a front to the north-west, the rear being guarded by Colonel Walker, with the Thirteenth and Thirty-first Virginia regiments, and the right flank, which was the only one exposed, being secure for a short time on account of the condition of the creek, which is called Great Run. Companies were thrown out on this flank to prevent any attempt to cross the creek, and a bridge, which was partially flooded, was destroyed. A body of the enemy's cavalry was discovered early in the morning by Colonel Douglas on the north of the creek, and they were hovering around my right flank on the opposite side of the creek all the morning. During the morning, General Jackson sent over an officer to pilot one of my staff officers over the route to Waterloo Bridge, which it might

On the following morning, (the thirteenth,) we marched toward Harper's Ferry, and proceeded to the turnpike road, one mile above Halltown, where we encamped. Late in the afternoon of the fourteenth, (Sunday,) we were ordered to advance toward Harper's Ferry in three columns, one along the road and another on each side of it. After passing Halltown, the division advanced to tHalltown, the division advanced to the woods on School-House Hill, in line in the following order: Lawton and Trimble's brigades were formed in line of battle on the right of the turnpike, Hays's brigade on the left of it, and my own brigade in rear of Lawton's; and in this manner the whole advanced to the woods without opposition, thus getting possession of this hill, which fronted Bolivar Heights, and was in easy range for artillery.
