ttack induced McDowell, while actually on the march, to halt his rear brigade — Howard's— and leave it behind, until the four other brigades had crossed Bull Run and ll's column arrive at Sudley, and about 10 A. M. reported the rear of it—except Howard, left halted, as already told, some four miles behind. Soon after that picket one and two o'clock of another Federal brigade. This, I afterward learned, was Howard's brigade, now tardily brought forward. I was able to follow the progress ofy 12-pounders, and rifles. But he set about the work with only four brigades. Howard's brigade, as has already been told, had been left miles behind, when he felt uce at 1.15 P. M. I sent my last message, reporting what I now know to have been Howard's brigade arriving at Sudley Ford, and two dust columns, both made by Johnston'36306666 3D division.

The turn of Howard's division came next. He had been at first directed to attack upon, and was preparing to do so, when Hancock called for supports, and Howard was diverted to the same field. His leading brigade, Owen's, did nits position until relieved after nightfall. His losses were 258.

He halted Steinwehr's division, two brigades, on Cemetery Hill, as a reserve, and advanced Schurz and Barlow to the front. With these he formed line to cover the approaches from the north as far east as Rock Creek. This disposition was bad. The force was small for so long a line, and its mmitsburg and Taneytown roads and the Baltimore Turnpike, was already partially occupied on my arrival by direction of Gen. Howard. Some difficulty was experienced in forming the troops of the 11th corps, but by vigorous efforts a sufficiently form

igade brought off four stands of captured colors. Gen. Rodes did not advance for reasons given in his report. The maps show that Hays's brigade on the right had only about 500 yards to advance over ground exposed to the enemy's fire. Avery's brigade on the left had a somewhat greater distance. Hays reports his casualties in this affair as 181. Avery was killed. The casualties of his brigade for the three days were 345, of which at least two-thirds were suffered in this charge. Howard's report gives the story from the Federal side:— The attack was so sudden and violent that the infantry in front of Ames was giving way. In fact, at one moment the enemy had gotten within the batteries. A request for assistance had already gone to headquarters, so that promptly a brigade of the 2d corps under Col. Carroll moved to Ames's right, deployed, and went into position just in time to check the enemy's advance. At Wiedrich's battery, Gen. Ames, by extraordinary exertions, arres

wheeling it half round to the right brought it to bear on them. I also drew from the reserve one battery and placed it in position on Taft's right. . . . Fortunately for us these batteries, placed in the new line, at once secured the exact range of their immediate adversaries. In a few minutes the enemy's fire almost ceased, and when it again opened, and while the fire was progressing, it was irregular and wild. They did not again get our range as they had it before we replied. Gen. Howard in the Atlantic Monthly, July, 1876, writing of this occasion, says, One regiment of Steinwehr's was fearfully cut to pieces with a shell. It doubtless received an enfilading shot from the firing here described. The official reports enable us to identify this firing as done at a range of 2500 yards by three rifled guns of Milledge's battery of Nelson's battalion of Ewell's reserve artillery. Nelson had three batteries carrying 13 guns, and the 48 rounds fired by Milledge were the onl
