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. A long b!aok line shoots from
tbe position of the reserves, crosses the rail- '
road at Ha mill,oti's station, skims across die
Valley, and in a few moments is lost in A?

had no interest whatever in the establish

Until the receipt of the purchase money.
d have never received a dollar of interest
or income from the factory. My investment,
with interest, has amounted to more
than I got from the sale.
I trust this statement will relieve us from
th^sjasder alluded to. I had hoped that
my position in the community would have
