 Wounded men, lying along the banks-the few either left on the field or taken to the cap tured hospitals, appealed with raised hands to those who rode horses, begging to be lifted behind; but few regarded such petitions. Then the artillery, such as was saved, came laundering along, smashing and oVerpowering everything. The regular cavalry, l record It to their shame, joined in the melee, adding to itsterrors, for they rode down footmen without mercy.

 I think not. It did not slack in the least until Centeryille was reached. There the sight of the reserVe-Miles' Brigade-formed
 in order on the hill, seemed somewhat to reas- sure the van. But still the teams and foot sol- dierS pushed on, passing their own camps, and heading for the distant Potomac, until for ten miles the road over which the grand army had so recently passed southward, gay with unstained banners, and flushed with surety of strength, was covered with the frag- ments of it's retreating forces, shattered and panic-stricken in a single day. From the branch rout, the trains attached to Hunters Division had caught the contagion of the fight, and poured into its already swollen current another turbid freshet of confusion and dismay. Who ever saw more shameful abandonment of munitions gathered at such vast expense? The teamsters, many of them, cut the traces of their horses, and gatioped from their wagons. Others threw out their loads to accelerate their flight, and grain, picks, and shOvels, aud provisions of every kind, lay trampled in the dust for leagues. Thousand of muskets streWed the route.
