At dark withdrew under orders and fell back to the railroad, which we reached at 1 a.m. June 30.

At 6 a.m. moved off to take position on the Darbytown road and reached the battle-field of the same day at 2 o'clock, and July 1 (same day), at 3.30 o'clock, pushed off in line of battle in pursuit of the enemy's fleeing columns.

At 7 a.m. came up with the troops of the heroic Stonewall Jackson who quickly passed our front. We then retired, took another position, and again commenced to advance on the enemy.

At 3 p.m. we came up with the enemy, strongly posted on a high eminence. An attack was immediately ordered by General Magruder, the troops occupying or forming four separate lines of battle, all within range of the enemy's batteries and subject to the most galling and destructive fire of shot and shell. Our brigade, commanded by the gallant Colonel George T. Anderson, was ordered to form the third line of battle, in support of General Cobb's brigade, which formed the second. My regiment was thrown out on the field on the right flank of the Third Brigade and was thrown out on the field on the right flank of the Third Brigade and was supported by the learned and gallant Colonel H. L. Benning, of General Toombs' brigade, which formed the fourth line of battle.

We remained under the several and well-directed fire of the enemy from 5 to 9 p.m.

Our casualties here were considerable: Adjt. John Green, wounded severely in the shoulder; Lieutenant M. F. Gudger, Company D, wounded in the hand; Lieutenant Nathaniel Parish, Company E, wounded in the side; 6 men killed on the field and 50 wounded, most of whom very severely;
