The condi tions were precisely those contemplated by the (old) 02d Article of War. This was understood and accepted by both. McDowell saw the preparations 37 for attack, and heard the shots of the skirmishers. Almost the first thing said by him was, " Porter, this is no place to fight a battle ; you are too far out already. Put your troops back into the woods, " or words to that effect. In consequence of these suggestions, which were in reality orders, Porter suspended his prepara tions for att...ack. McDowell showed him a dispatch just received from General Buford, stating that seven teen regiments, one battery and 500 cavalry had passed through Gainesville at a quarter before nine o clock that morning. This they knew of course was a part of Longstreet s corps which had driven Ricketts from the Gap the night before, and they also knew that the rest of his command would be closely following. The appearances in their front, the capture of the scouts and the dispatch of Buford indicated, unmistakably, that Long-street s force was before them, and that the rebel army was united.
