Anderson, commanding the Division, soon arrived on the field and ordered our small force to fall back slowly. We retreated to- wards Fredericksburg until we reached Zoar Church, and there formed a line of battle. The enemy pur- sued hotly and our men were forced to seek protect tion from the aim of the sharpshooters. They soon killed one poor fellow, and Joe Sam Brown, of the Blues Battery, escaped from sudden death by a hair's breadth. He was standing behind a limber chest with his head restin...g on the lid, in the act of cutting a two second fuse, when a Belgian rifle ball struck the horse, passed through his flank, through the lid of the chest 80 a pair of :!5lanketi5 ind struck Mr. Brown on the breast; fortunately its force was sufficiently broken to save him with only a bruise. About eight hundred yards in front of our line of battle was McCarty's Farm across which ran a slight ridge, on which by the roadside stood a log crib. This house was occupied by the enemy's sharp- shooters, and they were exceedingly troublesome in firing at every man in sight.
