Such fighting as Hancock did that day, for bravery, could never have been surpassed. Back and forth — first charged and then charging — until hundreds of the dead bodies of Union and rebel soldiers lay side by side in their last sleep. At lastBurnside, with the Ninth Corps, came to his relief, when he was allowed a breathing spell. Later in the day, Sedgwick's hour of trial came. In the forenoon they made a desperate effort to turn Grant's left, and now, in the after- noon, they revived the eff...ort on the extreme right. A. P. Hill was commanding the enemy, and two of the Union brigades, on the extreme right, commanded by Seymour and Staler, were swallowed up by the impetuous charge of the yelling rebels. They almost caused a route in this part of the army, but Sedgwick, bold and ever brave, took advantage of the reflux, which always follows the first impetus of ft charge, and formed the corps and drove the enemy beyond his breastworks, and plucked safety, if not victory, out of danger.
