Precisely at O'Clock, Gen. Crook formed on the
rcht of the 10Th Corps, his first division on tho ex
trcmc right Of our line, and the second division in

General Crook, having formed his men, rode along
the lines, and was received with yocifcIous cheer

Gen. Torbctt, with Mcrrtt's and AveSil's diyi-
sions of cavalry having crossed the Opequan about
o'clock, at Burns and Knoxs Fords, had been hard
at work all day, lighting considerable bodies of the
encmy's infantry and cavalry and having been sue
ccssfu in steadily driving them before them, now
arrived on our extr, me right, and was prepared Ia
take part in the final struggle which secured us the
victory.

charge which was nado with an impetuousity
which nothing could resist. Our line extending
nearly three miles in lcngthh advance amid the
cheers and yells, which could be distinctly head
far above the noise caused by the thunder OF tire
artillery and for its impctuosty has seldom bcenex
ceeded in any battle of this war;
Our men had determined TO win the day, and
neTycd themselves accordingly for the coming
struggle; and as our lines advanced closer and
closer to those of the enemy, the battle became
more and more fierce, until in point Of desperate
aud fierce carnage, will compare fayorably with
any similar contest of the war.
The slaughter now was truly awful. At every
discharge men could be distinctly seen dropping all
around, end the two con,cnding hines at somo points

just at this critical period, above the roar of ar
