reached the road they were to
charge down it until they met the
enemy and that they must drive
them back. In few moments the
road was reached and the charge
begun. About 200 yards down
the road the men came in sight of
General Stuart. He was alone. on
horseback, on the west of the road
and facing It, As the men passed

cealed the scantiness of their num-

they struck the enemy. turned him
back and tumbied him down the
hill ard across the stream at its
foot. There Is little or no doubt
that this charge saved the battery
from capture. II had fought TO

About an hour after the writer :

Charlottesville, also member of
