GoRDoN's THREE DIVISIONS.

Gordon formed his three divisions in line
of battle and furiously assaulted the Eighth
Corps of the Federals Crooks and drove
it in rout and confusion across the turn
pike.
In the meantime Kershaw had by his
assault, driven the Nineteenth Corps from

Wharton'S Division and all the artillery
to pass over the creek at the turnpike
crossing and join Gordon and Kershaw
on the north side.

morning. Two corps. or more than 10000
of the enemys troops were in utter rout
Fifty pieces of artillery had fallen into
the hands of the Confederates. The Sixth
Corps and the Third Division of Cavalry
remained intact. But the Confederates
could muster only about 1,500 mounted
men on the field while the enemy had
about 1900, and the Sixth Corps of In
fantry had more muskets in ranks than
Early had in his whole army.
The Sixth Corps took its first position
on the elevated ridge on the west of the
turnpike. Upon it was concentrated the
fire of all the Confederate artillery. and
it was assailed by Kershaw and Whar-
toms Divisions. Under this attack it fell
back perhaps mile or more and took a
second position little north of the vii
lage, with its left resting on the turn
pike, protected by division of cavalry,
and its right extending toward the back
road, on which were posted two divisions.
