back TO better position near by, pushed ont
videttes, and awaited the attack 1t was COM
menced with artillery. We fell back out of
range rom point to point, until we arrived at
Middletown, formed in line of battle in the
back street, and tcdited for orders The en-
emy took position, and shelled us at short
range for fifteen minutes, doing no harm ex-
cept wounding Major Ciley.
We had now kept the enemy back nearly
four hours; the baggage train had Just left
town, and long train of wagons could be
seen winding up the road toward Winchester
as far as the eye could reach. At this impor-
tant moment General Hatch, chief of cavalry,
arrived, and ordered Maj. Collins to form our
cavalry on the pike in column, facing Win
chester, and to draw saber. Gen. Hatch and
Col. Douty proceeding TO examine the enc
my with the glass from the rear of the town,
discovered that they were moving to cut off
our retreat. Leaving Col. Douty to watch
them, Gen. Hatch went in person to the head
of the column, and moved it off at a gallop,
as few of the enemy had already gained the
road In advance. A quarter of mile from the
town, they gave us a raking flank fire of ar
tllery and infantry at short range. Some of
the foremost horses fell, and those in the rear
came on with the speed of excitement, only to
fall in turn, until the narrow road was filed
from fence to fence. Horses and riders lay in
one promiscuous pile, enveloped in the dust
and smoke of battle, while shell and shot
shrieked over head and through our ranks; /;
yet, strange as 1t may appear, not a man was
killed. Eighteen were wounded by gunshot
and bruised by the horses; not a man bdyeaot-
ed or sabered;; the dismounted men escaped
to the woods, except fifty, who were taken
prisoners. This tods no unauthorized charge.
Gen. Hatch led the column and was one Of the
few that got through mounted
The obstinancy of this reconnaissance led
General jackson to believe, that he was 10 be
attacked in the rear. and he withdrew his for
ces from the Front Royal pike to drive back
our little battalion. The golden moment was
lost; Banks had gone on the Middleiown pike
TO Winchester and Jackson must content him
self to follow up the rear; Had Elwell's force
not been called back, they would have reached
Winchester first; aud Gen Banks celebrated
retreat would have made a very different ap-
pearance In history.

command. by saying II was obstinate rs a

Generals quarters, we received orders to 90

Front Royal, about seven miles distant, leav-
ing our baggage at Providence Church, half
way between the two last mentioned places.
Arriving at Middletown, four miles from Gen.
Banks headquarters, we found the rumors of
advancing rebels thick and threatening. Col
Douty very wisely concluded TO leave the
baggage at Middletown, and proceed with his
own command and two small companies of
the LIST Vermont under Major Collins, to make
a reconnaissance as far as possible toward,
Front Royal. Within mile and half of the
junction of the cross road with the Front
Royal pike, Col. Douty was informed by la
dy just returned from the junction that Ewell
with large force had passed up the pike
three miles, towards Winchester, and that
jackson was close upon us with ten thousand
men. The lady urged the Colonel to retreat,
as otherwise we should all be killed or taken
prisoners. Col. Douty very politely informed
her that we had forty thousand men near by
and were In no hurry to leave. Just at this
point the advance guard was fired upon by
the enemy's advance, who Immediately fed
however at the return fire. We were ordered
