I will supjily sueb particular ascame under my observation. But beftte doing so, I must endeavor to give you an idea of the positions occupied by the h^trle forces at the beginning of the action.* ( from Fredericksburg Ifo Rappahannock fiofs nearly.dne east, Tie valley of the rivfTjviyinp.inoatly oortbw^outh side, is a mile in width near:tli& towi and widening asaron go down stisam.

' 0j The sun rose cbarj.but a dim fog shrou- si cd the valley, fimitteg the vision to a sc iort haif-tnile. The iaeroy was supposed ai ) be within a niSci of v rajlFoad at jjamtoti's crossing, but the* were* no indieaons of his presence. * \ At half-past 8, a. Lee. a^pp^tj y his sta:{F, ro$p sfPtfjjf ^pg the frogt of P-' nr lines,'from west to, oas and halted ip ^ le valley a mile tp the easLf {JaipiJtQ^a rossing, and half n$q Mo War of our hl atteries on the cxtrcmo jiU, nine 'clock a column of our troopihloh proved oa i be E well's division, Gcntoarly comlanding advanced up the vaW from the 8" ircction of Port Royal, andl.filed into ac woods to the left of flamilto^ crossing w< ho metf were ^ \n le.isqtefy sei aoe, wHh a Mrelef-3 swingin^aitj bpi here was that in the Ptuiet digtt'Uf eraeanor, which told that eac}'though Id' ndaunted, was conscious that ;e nest tec our might be one of stern battle a\death. Fa Scarcely had the rear of this div^n dis wa ppcarcd in the woods, when dirtjy ja bu heir front the artillery of the Olifyone- ret rail brigade, Woodis, Braxton's aoibree his thcr batteries opeued a brjpk fire i the ad neuiy's batteries north,of the railroa At act his time, owing to tha fog, few of Stone- coj ly's iofantrv were visible. After Vts Ri, roved that they were lying closo tufyp tfof outh bank of the rivpy. The pannonrlg oon became general along the front of Vh Gr rmies. In ton minutes from the tirmf obt ring their first gun, the Danville battl reg Japt. Woodis, had lost fifteen men iil\ wai nd wounded, a number of horses, and liai wo rruna disabled. ' 1 The enemy's battery, eight hundred yaraMii listant, had the exact range from the firspot ire. In the-heginning of the action thffr< oss of the other batteries of Taliafero's di-\r 'ision were also quite heavy. Our men t ired with great precision, their shells burst- \ ng in front or directly above the opposing ' jattcries. In the course of an hoqr the arillery fight hod become so general that it vas almost impossible for an observer to listinguish what particular battery of the meroy was engaging the attention of any !;iven battery of ours, and vice versa.? scarcely a battery that had been unmasked m either side but was exposed to a direot tnd enfilading fire. The roar of oannou ilong n line of six miles wa3 tremendous. Fhe air was resonant with the Bavage music )f shells and solid shot. The white smoke wreathes of exploding shells were everywhere visible among the trees of the forest, which hid our forces in the valley and away beyond the river in Stafford. Lines of imbalances could be seen bearing off the wounded of both armies, but there was aotbing by which to judge that the advance rested with cither side. At noon the fog had cleared away, but :hero was a thick haze in the atmosphere. A.bout this time the eaeray's infantry moved forward from the river towards our batteries )n the hills. As they pressed forward ajross the Valley, Stuart's horse artillery mm our extreme right onened UDon them ~ -_0 ? ? i destructive enfilading fire of round shot, rhis-fire, which annoyed them sorely, was jept tip in spite of sis batteries which were iirccted against the horse artillery as Boon is it was unmasked. By one o'clock the Yankee columns had crossed the Valley ind entered the woods south of the railroad, rhe batteries on both sides slackened their 5re, and musketry at first .scattering, but quickly increasing to a crash and roar, sounded through tho woods. Dense volumes of smoke rose above the trees, and las volley succeeded volley, sometimes so ! rapidly as to blend into & prolonged and continuous roar. A. P. Hill's division sustained, the first shock of battle. Tho rest of Jackson's corps were in different lines of reserves. I). H.. Hill's division was drawn up in J. L Bfarye's field, under u long {fill, in rear of our Jin? of battle. Here they remained .during most of the day, being moved from time to time to the right or left as the exigencies of battle dictated. Shortly, after the infantry fight begin, a brigade of this division was moved at a double-quick a mile and a half to tho right and posted in a dense clump of pin?s in supporting distance of Stuart's ftqrso artillepy. In ten minutes, they were brought back to thoir original position. The.celerity of this movoment would be incredible to any quo who had not witnessed it. * , a.'iW a To an observer tho sight, was singular and exciting.
