To Brig. Gen. Schenc1,, CNmJerlc"d.

To Brig. Gen. Schench, CVmbertG"d.
You have my thanks for the prompt
ness with which you responded to my
request for medical attendance. On the
22d instant Williams Division, Fifth
Corps d'Armee, under Banks, took his
departure for Centlevillc, leaving only
my division in this place. Jackson was
kept informed by inhabitants of every
thing that occurred, aud thought it a
favorable opportunity to retake Win
chester. His advance, under Colonel
Ashby, attacked our pickets on the eve
ming of the 22d. While taking position
to repcl this attack I received wound
from fragment Of shell, which broke
my left arm and otherwise injured me.
On the next morning, 23l, about 10
A. NJ, the attack was renewed !; at first,
as We supposed, by Ashby and a small
party alone Indications soon showed
that We had large force before us, and
We commenced to make dispositions ac-
cordingly. ..
At 3 L. VI the enemy were COM
pletely rnmasked, when we found we
had a large army before US. Cannon
aiding continued on both sides half an
hour longer. when | ordered the artil-
lery to cease and the infantry to charge
their batteries. .......
The charge was made i'll a most splen-
did and affective manner, taking two
pieces Of cannon, three calsSons, and
driving the enemy's infantry from their
position. ... ...
Att p. M, the whole of our infantry
closed upon them, driving them from 'he
field with immense loss The enemy re-
coivcd and returned fire at few yards
distance, being the flower of the South
crn army mostly Eireinians.
The attack of our infantry was ire
sistiblc. 1t now appears that Smiths,
Garnet :, Loring's. and part of Long
streets command were engaged under
the command of Jackson in person.
Prisoners make the number Of Tho
enemy vary from 5000 to 10000. Our
full force could hardly exceed 1000. =
They rctreated covered by night 8 o.
six miles, where they took up new po-
sition. 1t now appears they commenced
sending forward their artillery and wag
ons 10 aid the wounded On the morn
ing of the oath they entered upon re
treat which they commenced to effect il
good order. They we're vigorously at
tackled again by our cannon and driver
along the road to near Middle own, ,whe
at this time Gen. Banks having previ
ously ordered back his command, tool
command in person, and with my com
mand and a part of Williams, he con
tinucd and still continues to pursue til
enemy, aud is at this time 10 miles be
yonl Strausburg. Our loss is abou
l5O killed and between 900 and 80
wounded. They must have lost som
! 500 killed and about 1000 wounded
and left behind 1000 stand of arms
As the enemy is still suffering under a
tack in pursuit, the exact result of the
loss cannot be given. We took 2S
prisoners,
