opportune moment.’
Gregg was relieved, and Lawton and Early, now, late in the afternoon, advanced beyond the railroad, met the last assault of the day, and drove the Federals in confusion to the rear.
Night had come, and with it rest for Gregg's heroic brigade.
Jackson held his field, and the effort to crush him before Longstreet came up had disastrously failed.
The losses in Gregg's brigade were as follows: Orr's Rifles, 19 killed, 97 wounded, total 116; First, 24 killed, 119 wounded, total 143; Twelfth, 24 killed, 121 wounded, total 145; Thirteenth, 26 killed, 118 wounded, total 144; Fourteenth, 8 killed, 57 wounded, total 65; aggregate for the brigade, 613.
On this bloody day McIntosh did not have an opportunity to use his guns.
At Manassas Junction on the 27th, he had done effective work and aided in silencing the enemy's battery and driving off his infantry.
The brigade was not in action on the next day, the 30th, but took position under fire.
While forming his command, Major McCrady received a severe wound in the head, after passing through the storm of battle on the 29th unhurt.
McIntosh's battery, posted on Gregg's left, on the 30th, did splendid service in shelling the enemy's masses in front, and in breaking his advances against Gregg's position.
The following officers are mentioned among the killed and wounded in the reports of McGowan and McCrady, the former reporting for the brigade:
