I steps. Pending this, it is said, the enemy was in line of battle, pre paring to attack us. Moving rapidly upon my pickets, he Opened a brisk cannonade. I suggested to General Pemberton that the sooner he formed a line of battle, the better, as the enemy would very soon be upon us. He at first directed me to form Tilghman's brigade in a line of battle upon the ground it then occupied, but soon thought it untenable, and ordered it, with Featherston'e and Buford's brigades, (my whole division,) into a line of battle on a ridge about three quar ters of a mile in the rear, and across a small creek. This line was almost immediately changed for a ridge still further back, where my artillery was advantageously posted on both sides Of the road, the field to the front being entirely open as far as Mrs. Ellison's house. He also directed the division to occupy the road, and the country to the right of it, and, in orders, conveyed to me at different times during the day, he instructed me to hold my position, not attacking the enemy unless he attempted to outflank us. Bowen's command was extended so as to join mine on the road. Soon a series of orders came, specifically and with great particularity, for two of my brig ades to move to the left, closing the line as often as Bowen moved, and we, in this manner, followed him. During this time, I received an order to retire, also one to advance, both of which were counter manded. My whole division, including reserves, was strung out in line of battle, mostly in thick timber. The enemy, during these, movements, remained steadily in front, in heavy force,-being appar ently a full corps, occupying a series Of ridges, wooded and command ing each other, forming, naturally, a very strong, if not impregnable position, throwing forward a heavy line of skirmishers, and showing every indication of an attack in force upon my position, both in front and upon the right flank. General Bowen also informed me that he thought the enemy was moving to the right.
