the Guns.
the Union line. and in front of us was
q light breastwork of rails and logs
From noon to 4 o'clock we broke
ranks, stacked our guns and took
things easy. At 8 some of the men
began to fry bacon and boil coffee
AT 6 every man of us was thus busy
and felt certain of spending the night
on the spot OF sudden two or three
rabbits came running out of the dense
woods beyond us. and scores Of men
jumped up to try and kill or capture
them Everybody round me was
laughing and shouting. when a shot
was suddenly heard and saw a pri-
vate soldier who stood in the highway
fall dead. The single shot was fol
lowed by another and another. ana
then some one shouted at the top Of
his voice:
Great heavens, but there are the
Johnnies in battle liner
There was a panic at once. No one
supposed there was a Confederate
within i've miles of us, and had they
been looked for 1t would have been
from the other direction A few men
got into line here and there, but the
resistance melted away as the Con-
federates advanced. 1t was a furious
rire which Jackson's men poured into
the Eleventh. They were elated and
very enthusiastic. and they swarmed
through the forest as IL their number
was endless
Men have said that the panic would
have extended no further, and that
the corps would have speedily recov-
cred from the surprise, and men have
written that but for one mans cool
ness at the critical moment Jackson
would have driven wedge into the
Federal army. Gen. Pleasanton, then
commanding three regiments Of cav
airy and field battery. lay in posi-
ton to be run over by the frightened
fugitives as they sought a place Of
SAFETY. In the midst of the most en-
barrassing confusion he sent a regi-
ment OF dismounted cavalry forward
To form a line and check the Confed-
crate advance and the other regi-
ments, mounted, at once charged into
the mass Of fugitives and drove them
clear of the field on the left of the
plank road. Then one by one twenty
two guns were brought to the front
and numbered. 1t was in the cleared
field to the left of the Charlottesville
plank road and about half mile be-
low the famous brick house. Those
guns enfiladed Jackson's whole front.
and the moment his lines broke cover
they were met with such storms OF
canister that whole regiments Law
down after the first volley. For the
first quarter of an hour these guns
were supported by the cavalry alone.
but as regiment after regiment was
picked up, whirled about and sent to
the gap, the support soon became a di-
vision. Other batteries were rushed
down the plank or across the field.
and by and by Jackson's golden mo-
ment had passed The Federal army
had faced 10 the rear and the great
gap had been closed by artillery.
Just at shutdown Jackson grew rest
i've under the terrific fire and ordered
general advance. Long lines Of men
sprang to their feet and rushed for
ward with cheers and yells, determin-
cd to have the guns. 1t did not seem
as IL anything living could cross that
open space of 600 feet with such
tornado of-canister sweeping over it.
