On the right-and left-hand sides of the photograph can be seen the strong guard of Union soldiers in charge. The Union forces had a wholesome respect for the Confederate cavalryman, but by the middle of 1863 the Union cavalry had also become a factor. The cavalry fight in which these prisoners were taken occurred at the foot of the upper end of the Bull Run ra

Lee's Brigade: Captain,--I submit the following report of the part taken by the troops under my command in the engagement near Aldie on the 17th instant. I was ordered to take my own regiment, the First and Fifth, and Breathed's battery through Middleburg to Aldie, and go into camp there, where I would find the rest of the brigade. On reaching Dover Mills, I ordered Colonel Rosser to go on to Aldie and select a camp, and whilst the other regiments were watering, received a dispatch from him to the effect that a regiment of the enemy's cavalry was in his front, between him and Aldie, and that he was about to attack them. I at once placed the Fourth regiment in position to cover my left flank on the road from the Snickersville pike, and with the First regiment and two of Breathed's guns went forward to the supp

She carried ten heavy guns, some of them rifled 100-pounders. Her first engagement, March 8, 1862, showed her to be more than equal to a fleet of wooden vessels, she having sunk the Cumberland and crippled the Congress in a few hours. She was defeated next day by the Monitor, and blown up two months later to escape capture. The Atlanta was an iron vessel cut down, plated with two thicknesses of 2-inch iron plates over heavy wooden backing. She was captured by the monitor Weehawken, June 17, 1863, having been disabled at the fourth shot from that vessel. Most British iron-clads are built on the broadside principle, the Captain, built something on the monitor plan, having foundered in a moderate sea, carrying down all on board. The Lord Clyde, said to be the fastest English iron-clad, is 280 feet long, 59 feet beam, 21 feet draft, 4,067 tons burden. The cylinders of her engines are 116 inches diameter, having 4 feet stroke.
