though there was dislocation of COM
mands, there was little loss of effective
force. The Confederate assaults were
made by rapid and often unconnected
charges along the line. They were re-
peatedly checked and often repulsed.
Sometimes cOuntercharges drove them
back for short distances, but, whether
in assault or recoil both sides saw their
bravest soldiers fall in frightful num-

The Confederates came on in motley

and domestic 'butternut' to the blue of

dearly the penalty of doubtful colors.

For five hours brigade after brigade
was led against it. Hindmans brfgades,
which earlier had swept everything be-
fore them, were reduced to fragments
and paralyzed for the remainder of the
day. A. P. Stewards regiments made
fruitess assaults. Then Bragg ordered
UP Gibsons brigade. Gibson himself. a
knightly soldier, was aided by colonies,

charge, but, like the others, recoiled from
the fire it encountered. Under a cross
fire of artillery and musketry 1t at last
fell back with very heavy loss. Gibson
asked that artillery should be sent him,
but it was not at hand, and Bragg sent
orders to charge again. The colonies
thought it hopeless, but Gibson led them
again to the attack. and again they suf-
fered a bloody repulse.

and, by massing his troops upon the
enemy's left. kept turning that flank.
Now was the time for the Confederates
to push their advantage, and, closing in
on the rear of Prentiss and Wallace, to
finish the battle But, OF the contrary
there came a lull in the conflict on the
right, lasting more than an hour from
2:3O, the time at which Gen. Johnston
fell. 1t is true that the Federals fell back
and left the field making some desultory
resistance, and the Confederates went
forward deliberately, occupying their po-
stions and thus helping to enyelop the
Federal center; but Breckinridges two
brigades did not make another charge
that day, and there was no further gen.

The determinate purpose to capture Grant
that day was lost sight of. The strong
arm was withdrawn, and the bow remain

desultory combats. but they tended to
nothing.
About $50 the contest, which had
throbbed with fitful violence for five
hours, was renewed with the utmost
fury. While an Intellectual struggle was
going on at the center a number of bat
teries opened upon Prentiss' right flank.
