Banks Driven Across The Potomac

jackson pressed forward during the
entire night and although the men had
been without rations since breakfast on
the 18th. save what they found in
Banks wagon train. he continued the
march until 8 o'clock in the morning,
when the head of his, column had
reached point about mile from Win
chester, opposite the ridge on which
Banks had formed his line of battle.
jackson had with him on the Valley
pike his own Division and two extra
Brigades and nine Batteries Early in
the morning he hurled these against
the position occupied by Banks, and a
fierce battle ensued; Ewell, who was
on the Front Royal road had advanced
and attacked the enemy behind stone
fences. They resisted his advance with
much gallantry. The enemy making
a stubborn resistance, about eight
o'clock jackson determined to throw
large body of troops on their right flank.
They anticipated this movement and
had strengthened their right, but a de-
termined charge, made by Taylor's and
Talliaferro's Brigades supported BY the
Stonewall Brigade, drove all before
them. The enemy then gave way in
every direction, and hurried through
the streets Of Winchester. jackson
dashed to the front. aglow with the
sense Of victory, and gave the COM
mand to .'press forward to the Poto-
mac" AS he rode by the Second Viz
ginia Regiment, he passed close to one
of the soldiers, Cleon Moore who said:
General you have won great vic
tory" He instantly replied. .The
victory is not mine, it is due to God. /"
