the honor to report that during my recon

the direction of Mount Jackson, I ascertain- t
ed that the enemy, under Jackson, was j
strongly posieo near ina. puice, auu ui ui- ,

and another at Washington. It became im- j
portaut, therefore, to draw him from hi po- i
sitiou and supporting force if ossible. To j

small I tody of cavalry, and part f the artil-

to its position I was struck by the fragment
of a aheil which fractured my arm above the
j elbow, bruised my shoulder, and injured my
ude. I he enemy being driven from his po
sition, we withdrew to TV inchest er. The
injuries I bad received completely prostrated
me, but were not such as to prevent me
from making the required dispevitions for
the ensuing day. Under cover of the night
I pushed forward Kimball's brigade nearly Captain Jenks' and Sullivau's gallant bri

all the approaches by which the enemy
might peuetrate to this place were effectual
ly guarded.
I deem it necesary in this phice to give a
brief description of the-se approaches, as well
as of the field, which next day lv alue the
scene of one of the hi oodiest battle's of the
war. Winchester is approachc 1 from the
south by three principal roads the Ceelar
Creek load on the west, the valley turnpike
row! leading toStrasburg in the centre, and
the Front Roval road on the east. There is
a little village called Kernstown .n the val- i saw there was not a moment to lose, and

ball, the senior officer in command on the!
field, took h's station. Along this ridge
Lieut. Col. Daum, chief of artillery, ptsted
three of his batterie-s, keeping one of his
batteries in reserve some distance iu the rear,
Part of our infantry was first placed in po
sition in the rear and within supporting dis
tauce of these batteries, well sheltered in the
windings and sinuesi'ies of the ridge. The
mam body f the enemy on the ridge was
posted in order of battle about half a mile
beyond Kernstown, his line extending from
the Cedar Creek road to a little ravine, near
the Front Royal road, a distance ef about
two miles. This ground had been so skill
fully selected that, while it afforded facilities
for manoeuvring, it was completely masked
by high and wooded ground in front, These
woods he filled with skirmishers, supported
by a battery on each flank; and so adroitly
had this movement been conducted, and so
skillfully had he concealed himself, that at
eiht o'clock. A. M., on the 23d, nothing
sible but the same force under Ashby

ing. Not Icing al'e to rcconnaiire the front

cer, Col. John T. Mason, of the Fourth Ohio
Volunteers, about nine o'cWk, A. M., to
the front, to perform that duty, and to rc
po.t to me, as promptly as pj.i: h-. evory

himself so far away from his main supjort.
Having both come to this conclusion, Gen.
Banka took his departure for Washington,
beiug ahead v under orders to that effect.
The ofSjera of bis t-tafj, however, remained
behind, intending to leav: for Uentreville in
the afternoon. Aitb"-jgU 1 legan Vj cvti-

enemy's light h;-d opened oa our jioaiiioii

considerable f -roeof infantry in the wo-Is
in th.t quarter. On rcc ivii g tl.is inforcna
tlon I pushed forward Sullivan brigade-.

, in a j-osltion to oppose the advance of the
enemy's right wing. 1 he action oper.eu

. flank. An active body of skirmishers, con
j sn tiug ef the Lighth Ohio, LoI. Carro l, and
; three coUipanies of the Sixty seventh Ohio,
; was immediately thrown forward on both
j sides of the valiey road to resist the enem?

ridge, though admirably managed by their
exiericnecd chief, Lieut. Col. Daum, were
SLon found insufScicnt to check, or even re
tard the advance -f such a formid ibie body.
At this stage of the combat a measengeT ar
