ho on this mournful evening gathered around the bivouac-fires, counting the number of comrades either dead or wounded, whom they had left among the thick bushes of the cedar wood, anxiously asked each other what the next day would bring forth. No rations were distributed; and what alarmed them most in this want of provisions and ammunition was the idea they had formed that the army was surrounded and separated from its base of operations. In short, with the exception of the two brigades of Walker and Starkweather, which had rejoined the army at the close of the day, there was not a single regiment but what had been seriously engaged, and no assistance from any fresh troops could be relied upon for the morrow. More than seven thousand men were missing at roll-call; Sheridan had lost one-third of his division; two division generals, Wood and Van Cleve, were wounded; three brigade commanders, Sill, Schaeffer and Roberts, had been killed; a fourth, Kirk, was wounded, and a fifth, Willic

feared that the enemy might make an offensive return along the road. In the mean time, Meade had arrived within eight hundred metres of the positions occupied by Walker's artillery near Prospect Hill. At a given signal the latter opened the fire; the twelve guns posted at the left centre of the Confederate line did the same. Mece any changes in the dispositions already made. While the infantry was thus deploying along the Federal left, the three batteries of Birney's division engaged Walker's artillery, posted on Prospect Hill; Gibbon's cannon replied to the Confederate guns planted in front of the railroad, and after one and a half hour's fight they finally succeeded in obtaining a decided advantage. Two of Walker's caissons exploded; and although Jackson had employed all the guns which covered his front, his fire had evidently slackened. Birney approached, and Reynolds gave Meade the signal for attack. A. P. Hill had posted part of the brigade of Brockenborough at the

ing the road leading to the village of Pocotaligo, situated at a distance of eighteen kilometres from Mackay's Point. This road runs along the right bank of the watercourse, and crosses, over narrow causeways intersected by wooden bridges, the broad swamps, often bounded by thick copses, with which all the small valleys in this region are covered. Each of these causeways formed a defile easy to defend. The Confederates took good care to avail themselves of these excellent positions. Colonel Walker, after feeling the Federals, who were advancing and deploying whenever the nature of the ground allowed them, awaited their approach behind one of these obstacles in front of the Frampton plantation, twelve kilometres from Mackay's Point. Twice did the Union troops cross the wood by which the swamp was bounded on their side; and each time they were received by such terrific volleys of musketry along its edge that they were compelled to fall back, leaving behind them a large number of ki
