The capture of Major-General Riall and many other of the enemy's officers was owing to the enter- prise and skill of Major Jessup, — one of the most gallant and accomplished of soldiers, whose humanity was as strongly displayed on this occasion as his valor. To the judgment of General Ripley and the unsurpassed steadiness of his brigade, particularly of the 21st regiment, under Colonel Miller, the final success of the day seems to have been greatly owing; and the storming of the heights of Brid...gewater will long be remembered among the most gallant achieve- ments in the American annals. The remains of the army having been marched back to the camp, General Ripley received directions from General Brown to refresh the troops and return to the field of battle in the morning, there to be 17 258 BATTLE-FIELDS AND governed by circumstances. Accordingly, at dawn on the succeeding day the troops were put in motion for that purpose ; but General Ripley, having ascer- tained that the enemy was strongly posted in front and his line nearly double that of the Americans, his own force being reduced to 1600 men, resolved to disobey his instructions and avoid a contest with an enemy of such superior force.
