The Stonewall brigade.

This brigade, which followed the lamented Jackson from the commencement of the war to the close of his brilliant military career, bore itself with gallantry and shared in the honor of the capture of Winchester. Several battle flags were captured by the brigade, and two Yankee regiments — the 18th Connecticut and 5th Maryland--surrendered to the 2d and portions of the 5th Virginia. Although their gallant leader has gone, his old brigade sustained its reputation.
