The 10th Mass.

The 10th Mass, one of Fox's fighting

before the admiriag Lee at Brandy Sta
ton. They were as fine hOrsemen as
the world had ever seen, and thoro
soldiers from the highest to the lowest
Stuart soon realized that he could not
hold the position against the columns
that Pleasonton was skilfully manuYer-
ing against him, and ne began his re-
treat. This was hurried by the impetu-
Gus Fitzpatrick, who charged at the
head of his brigade and found himself
in the midst of Hampton's Division
Hampton wheeled about. and charged
Fitzpatrick with such vim as to almost
capture the daring New Yorker. The
rest of Kilpatrick's Brigade rushed TO
his assistance. and there ensued peil-
nell, close-range fight, with sabers and
pistols, along road bordered with
fences. While those on horseback We're
intermingling in the melee the dis
mounted Confederates were in the fields
on one side of the road, using their
muSkets whenever they saw a chance.
while a similar line Of Union men were
in the fields on the other side of the
road, occupied in the same way. Hamp-
ton was finally driven back, and Rob-
ertson covered the retreat.
Altogether Stuart had lost eight miles
since the fight had begun, and he was
now holding on desperately to the VIII
lage of Upperville, which commanded
Ashbys Gap. On the other hand Pleas

well might have been. with the exciting
events of the day, and the infantry had
been left far behind
Buford was pursuing Munford and
Jones hotly, as these fell back toward
Paris to join Stuart. Buford's scouts
climbed the Blue Ridge, and from the
summit of the trees and rocks had a
full view of the Shenandoah Valley as
far as Winchester and Harper's Ferry
From their elevated position they could
see Ewell's great columns of infantry
marching forward to the Potomac,
while from the eastern side We're the
columns, equally long, which Longstreet
was sending to join Ewell in the Val
ley. The vail which Stuart had been
fighting so hard 10 throw over the
movements of Lees army was now
pierced. In spite of his brayest efforts,
the Union cavalry had driven him from
every position, and had secured at last
the information that Hooker was most
anxious to obtain. This was a great
triumph for the hitherto ridicuied cav
airy, and henceforth nobody thought of
repeating the offer of reward for the
sight of dead man with spurs on.
The confidence of the Union cavalry
men in themselves and their leaders
grew hourly. They had learned the
value of the Saber and of charging
home, and from that time onward the
offensive was to come mainly from the
Union size. The Confederates could
not show up a line anywhere without
expecting that the challenge would be
at once answered by Union charge.
The fighting had cost about 500 men on
each side.

Stunrt's Account.

Gen. Stuart, in his official report.
gives this account of the operations by
which he was forced back into the gaps
of the Blue Ridge:

had failed ITO draw Hooker out where
he could ipterpose between him and
Washington he would carry out his
original program and project his army
boldly into the loyal States. This would
make them pay theavily for Hooker's
wary generalship.,
Lee had now assembled on the banks
of the Potomac far stronger army
than that with which he had entered
Maryland the previous year. He had
quite $4,000 men in a state of the
highest discipline, seasoned by two
years vigorous training in the great
school of war On the other hand,
Hooker had about the same number
of men immediately under his COM
mand, and was handling them with a
vigor and ease not displayed by any of
his predecessors. Confident as Lee was
of the prowess of his army, he was not
very sanguine as to what treatment it
would receive at the hands of the Army
of the Potomac, and June % he wrote
jefferson Davis an urgent letter asking
him to send him every available man
that could be spared, and to assemble
at Culpeper, under Beauregard. all the
forces that were to remain in Virginia.
BY menacing Washington Beauregard
would keep a large army in the fortifi-
cations around that city, and thus pre-
vent their joining the force in his front.
