ord in this respect of which we are rather proud. Never were our guns silenced or driven from position by Rebel artillery. This adversary disposed of, we turn our battery once more on the village and those whom it harbors. At sunset our attention is diverted by distant firing up the river, and casting our eyes in that direction we see, at a distance of some six miles, the smoke of the battle of Rappahannock Station, One of the most brilliant engagements of the war, in which Gen. David A. Russell's Third Brigade of the Sixth Corps, less than sixteen hundred strong, slightly aided by two or three other regiments, charged over great obstacles and captured a strong line of works on the north bank of the river, taking more than sixteen hundred prisoners, four guns, eight battle-flags, two thousand small arms, and their pontoon bridge, with a Union loss of about three hundred killed and wounded. where the right wing was successfully combating the foe.

d others in rifle-pits. They are followed in a few moments by a brigade in line of battle. It advances firmly and confidently at a double-quick, with bayonets, held at charge, glistening in the sun, and evidently intent on sweeping our force of infantry, which had by this time effected a crossing, back into the river. But this is a matter in which we propose to have something to say, and by the time they have traversed half the interval between the woods and the river, we are sending our Schenkl shells among them in quick succession. The result is immediate and surpasses our highest anticipations. The line wavers for a moment, then breaks and scatters, some returning to the woods, but the larger portion keeps on and seeks refuge either in the rifle-pits or the buildings in Kellysville. On the latter we now train our guns. The range being rather short, every shell takes effect, as we afterwards ascertain from personal observation. Thus far we had had the fun all our own way,
