he moment when, as he states, he saw an easy victory in his grasp. These eighteen guns were between Longstreet and Jackson, on the ridge separating them. They were placed about dawn in position by Colonel S. D. Lee, upon consultation with General J. B. Hood; but before sunrise Colonel Lee had reported their position to General Lee, and he sent word--you are just where I wanted you — stay there. Now, as to official facts to substantiate the above, the following official report of Colonel S. D. miles from Gainesville. Soon after daylight, I found that our bivouac was on the battle field of the previous evening, and near an advanced division on picket. The enemy showing every disposition to attack us, upon consultation with Brigadier-General J. B. Hood, and at his suggestion I placed my batteries (four) on a commanding ridge immediately to his left and rear.

pon them; and that you never relied upon them in vain. They always came when you commanded ;. and always stayed until you sent them away. There are rich and precious memories clustering around it — memories that we will not willingly let die. It has been in battle with the immortal Lee. It has followed the dashing Stuart over the hills and slopes from the Susquehanna to the Roanoke. It has followed in the charge of the chivalric Rooney Lee, and has seen service with Johnston, Beauregard, Hood, Magruder, the Hills. and Longstreet; and last, but not least, sir, it was flung to the breeze upon nearly every battle field in which you led the Southern horse during those trying years. May the command on whose behalf you receive this flag never have occasion to bear it save in holiday processions, and may they prove as loyal in preserving South Carolina's honor through the peaceful agencies inaugurated by your administration, as their predecessors were faithful in defending it at the

As to when theminutes' rest, when the divisions of McLaws and Hood were moved in line by the right flank around tovering the movement from the enemy. Finally, Hood marched across the rear of McLaws and went intosion of four brigades in two lines of battle on Hood's left, and with sixteen pieces of artillery in nearly parallel with it — the extreme right of Hood's line being directly opposite to the centre ofuntain. Law's brigade constituted the right of Hood's line, and was formed in single line as followd for General Law. He then informed me that General Hood was wounded and that Law, who was the seniosly, I had the strongest and finest regiment in Hood's division. Its effectives numbered nearly 700pread out to the left to protect its flank, and Hood's line was extended to the right to protect its At half-past 3 o'clock the order was given General Hood to advance upon the enemy, and hurrying to [1 more...]

received. orders on the evening of the 29th, near Thoroughfare Gap, to march to the front during the night, and, after a tedious march, encamped about dawn on the morning of the 30th on the pike leading from Gainesville to Stone bridge and about two miles from Stone bridge. Soon after daylight, I found that our bivouac was on the battlefield of the previous evening and near our advanced division on picket. The enemy showing every disposition to attack us, upon consultation with Brigadier-General J. B. Hood, and at his suggestion, I placed my batteries (four) on a commanding ridge immediately to his left and rear. In the general line of battle this ridge was about the centre, Jackson's corps being immediately on my left and Longstreet's on my right. It was an admirable ridge of over a quarter of a mile, generally overlooking the ground in front for some two thousand yards.

after he had withdrawn from that position? Colonel Walton's letter establishes this fact, viz: that at 3.30 P. M. on the 29th of August he withdrew all his batteries for repairs and to refill his chests, and he did not return, thereby leaving a gap open of over a quarter of a mile between General Longstreet and General Jackson, and that it was this identical gap which my artillery of eighteen guns filled at dawn on the 30th of August, upon consultation with and at the suggestion of General J. B. Hood. Longstreet did not put me there. General R. E. Lee approved of my position, and ordered me to stay there when I reported it to him — a most fortunate circumstance, as it made an almost continuous line of battle, and filled the ugly gap on the high and advanced ridge made by the withdrawal of General Longstreet's artillery under Colonel Walton the day before. General Longstreet is in error in saying that in my previous article I claim to reply to a part of his official report of
