There General Early received information that a large Federal force was beattack. After spending August 8th and 9th in his camps at Bunker Hill and Darkesville, Early fell back to Stephenson's depot and sent Breckinridge to the mouth of cavalry, through a very hard rain, and encountered the enemy's cavalry near Darkesville, compelled it to retreat, followed by Lomax, through and beyond Martinsburg. The infantry returned to Bunker Hill, but the cavalry remained at Darkesville. The next day, leaving the cavalry at Darkesville, the infantry marched back to SteDarkesville, the infantry marched back to Stephenson's.

Captain: Upon Wednesday, July 1st, 1863, after an extremely fatiguing and rapid march, I formed my regiment in line of battle upon the extreme left of the brigade in a wheat field, on the right hand side of the Middletown road, and about 1 1/4 miles from Gettysburg, Penn. After shifting positions from time to time, a charge was ordered, and the troops moved up gallantly, driving the enemy from every position to and through the town. During the advance a portion

before he had been in command forty-eight hours we felt his strong hand, recognized the difference between him and certain militia officers who had previously had charge of the post, and realized that we were at least under the command of a real soldier and a rigid disciplinarian. My First meeting with him. I saw him frequently at Harper's Ferry—sometimes paced the lonely sentinel's beat in front of his headquarters—but the first time I ever came in personal contact with him was at Darkesville on the 4th of July, 1861, when we were drawn up in line of battle to meet General Patterson. The skill and tact with which he had reduced the high-spirited rabble which rushed to Harper's Ferry at the first tap of the drum into the respectable Army of the Shenandoah, which he turned over to General J. E. Johnston the last of May, and his skirmish at Falling Waters (which we then exaggerated into an important victory), had won him some reputation, and I was anxious to see him again. I

the events of the day. The next day, the 3d of July, we fell back several miles southward to Darkesville, where we first saw, many of us, our general-in-chief, Joseph E. Johnston, the gamest-lookingshouts at seeing this typical soldier who witched us all with his noble horsemanship. This Darkesville was not a village—only a farm-house near a fine spring. In front of the house, on the east se. Canteens, which were in camp voted a nuisance, were in demand on that march.

he elder sister, is a very bright and accomplished woman. Our entire army is getting its supplies of flour by cutting and threshing the wheat in the fields, and then having it ground at the few mills the enemy have not yet destroyed. The work is done by details from different regiments. It shows to what straits we have been reduced. Still the men remain cheerful and hopeful. September 10. Rodes' division, preceded by our cavalry, under Generals Fitz Lee and Rosser, went as far as Darkesville, returning to Bunker Hill at night. Our brigade acted as the immedtate support of the cavalry. As it rained without cessation during the night, we had a very damp time of it. I slept on half, and covered with the other half, of my oil cloth, one I had obtained from the Yankees when I captured my sword. The drops of rain would fall from the leaves of the large trees under which I lay, drop on my head and face, and trickle down my back occasionally. Notwithstanding these little annoyanc

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch,Gen. Johnston's return to Winchester. Winchester, July 8, 1861. Gen. Johnston's forces fell back from Darkesville, Berkeley county, to this place (Winchester) yesterday, (Sunday,) and are now at their old quarters around the town. They stood at Darkesville--six miles from the enemDarkesville--six miles from the enemy--four days, in battle line, inviting an attack from Cadwallader and Patterson; but finding that they would not advance, or leave the town of Martinsburg, where, for several reasons, it would have been unwise to attack them, they (our troops) came back to their old quarters, where their tents had been left standing and baggage remgrowling like bears with sore heads, because they were not allowed to march on Martinsburg and pitch into the thieves. I mixed freely with the army two days at Darkesville, and I am certain that the vote would have been unanimous in favor of an immediate attack, without regard to the numbers of the enemy. It would not do to attac

loss in killed and wounded and prisoners cannot be less than from forty to fifty. The two hills are nine miles in advance of any of our present camps, and are considered very important positions. As to our future movements, "we shall see what we shall see." Our regiment is now in fine condition, and under the leadership of that accomplished soldier and gentleman, (Col. A. P. Hill.) who has won the enthusiastic admiration of every man under him, you will hear from us whenever we may meet our hireling foe. We have had a hard time — packing up machinery at Harper's Ferry, climbing mountains about Romney, waiting for Patterson at Darkesville, marching from Winchester to Manassas with nothing to eat, and, (by the miserable mismanagement of somebody,) getting there just too late for the great fight; and our boys are anxious for an opportunity to show that they can meet the dangers of the field as bravely as they have done the drudgery of the camp and the hardships of the march.
