The battle of Winchester.
At 3 o'clock Sunday morning, May 25th, we took the road for Winchester.
The long march of the day before had been made without rations, except the contents of numerous sutlers' stores seized at Front Royal, which were neither nutritious nor satisfying, and the sleep in the crisp mountain air without fire, had stiffened and weakened the men, but as their blood warmed with the exercise and the coming fight, they stepped out as cherrily as ever.
Before day, Colonel Johnson received General Ewell's order--bring your regiment to the front.
When we came up he was on the ridge of hills which rises on the Front Royal road to the southeast of Winchester, and distant from it a mile or a mile and ahalf.
This crest sweeps around the town semi-circularly, cutting the Front Royal road and Valley pike at short distances from the suburbs.

The battle of Port Republic.
The manoeuvres of Fremont and Shields pursuing Jackson up the valley were now approaching consummation.
From Front Royal the Massanutton range tends south parallel to the Blue Ridge, dividing from the lower valley of Virginia the Luray Valley.
It terminates at the Picket Mountain some miles above Port Republic, at which point the two valleys unite in the great upper valley.
Up the Luray valley is a fine country road, while up the other the broad turnpike offers every facility for the movement of a column.
At Harrisonburg, a road turns to the east from the Valley pike, and crossing the East Fork of the Shenandoah at Port Republic, eight miles distant, continues to the left over Brown's Gap and to the right to Staunton.
While Fremont pressed Jackson steadily up the valley pike, Shields was rapidly advancing up the Luray valley on Port Republic

(Conclusion.)
The capture of dispatch Station — behind M'Clellan.
The conduct of the Regiment at Cold Harbor was probably more creditable than any action they ever performed.
The fighting actually done by them really amounted to nothing — nothing in comparison to the gallant dash at Harrisonburg, nor the deadly struggle at Cross Keys where, hour after hour they rolled back the attack of Fremont's regiments in that terrible storm of iron and lead.
Going into action late, over ground filled with dead and wounded, swept on all sides by shot and shell, while battalion after battalion came back in disorder, they moved on unshaken as steadily as iron, silent, steady, and attentive, they obeyed every word of command promptly, and accurately, and at last stormed the strong position of McGee's house at a right shoulder shift arms and without firing a shot.
When the rush of d
