in the forenoon or early in the afternoon, anu
the left wing sent, under Lieut.. Col. Munson' 10
guard a battery, or rather to support one
Their precise position never knew Inc risn'
wing. (Co. A., Capt Lonergan Co. G'' capt
Clarke; Co. c, Capt. Coburn; Co. l., Capt
Davis and Co B, Capt. Wilder) was sdV'nc-
ell soue ten aad not thirty rods, and massed'
where we could be better protected by the
rising ground snd by stone wall.
"3d. When Doubleday sare down to us in the
afternoon it was later than P. N. 1t must
have been nearly sundown because, when We
returned from our charge, which am sure did
not last an hour, it was dark, and the hghting
had ended for the day.
o4,b. lie dii not AK Col. Randall what resi-
.nent that wa, nor where StAnnard and the rest
of the Brigade were. When he arrived the Col
had Just gone few rods to the right Of the Fesi-
ment to sneak to Lieutenant in charge ofsome
csjsscns. Doubleday was in great haste
and he inquired, ''Where Is the Colonel
of this re-imeutg" Half dozen OF Us
pointed HIN out, AMI by that time the Colonel
seeing that he was wanted, FASTENED to return.
The two met ne2r the right Of the regiment
when all that was said was d" Col, deploy your
battalion to the left and support Gen Hancock
The order was Acknowledged, the command I'M
meiiately given and executed on the double
Quick There was 10 time here for the speech
thatC Col. Z says was then mad, AMI only wonder
that the absariity Of the ilea did not cause the
Col. to refresh his memory before putting him
self on paper.
18th. The description Of the charge and Of the
shooting Of the Coils horse is substantially cor
rect. except tia. neither he nor Capt. Lonergan
we're the first to resch the guns. The men Of
compauies C. and G. have iistinc; recollection
Of being at least as far to the front as any other
Neither did the rebels throw down their guns
and lie low, allowing US to pass over them, nor
did they flourish sabres aud use emphatic Ian
gusre The bulk Of them, IS soon as they saw
fresh battalion hal formed sni commenced to
charge, ran like sheep, leaving the guns an easy
prize, though in the charge We hsi lost several
men from their fire.
