accounted for by referri. to their respective
dates. In the first / could only give, OF
course the best accredited rorts. And my
mistake in stating, in the first, that the Yir-
giEians charged in line with the two Mis-
sissippi Regiments, arose from my getting the
information from themselves which learn
ell afterwards to be totally untrue, and that
the sth Virginia Regiment came up behind
the Mississippians, and took no part, as a
Regiment in the final, effective and victorious
charge upon the Yankees at the battle of
Leesburg, as stated in my letter of the 2sth
OF October.
We cannot, in writing accounts of such
thiags Immediately after their occurrence,
always get the facts exactly.
