I observed the brigade under Brigadier Wheeler, an
offie::r in whom I have the greatest confidence, charging
and carrying guns and everything before it, again col-
lecting his line and moving on in a manner which ably
displayed the coolness of the Brigadier and the gallan-
try of his irresistib'e brigade." And aglin,—" In Bri-
gadier Wheeler, .my second in command, I had a sup.
port that I could rely upon with the utmost confidence,
and most gallantly did he discharge his duty." i„ jus.
