Nearer than he supposed were the avengers of the dead of '' Coffee Hill." General Hays's division (the Third) wliich had taken the lead, was already on the road and fast ap- proaching its position as it marched toward Catlett's Station, and those missiles intended, for the First Division flew over the heads of the men of the Third. The rebel general did not seem to realize the proximity of the Union troops, whether because of the fog (now rapidly lifting) or because of his attention being absor...bed by the tempting opportunity offered in the massed troops on the ridge. Astonished and amazed was the commander of the Third Division at the unexpected fire upon his men, from a direction which he had every reason to suppose was held by Union troops ; nothing daunted, Iwwever, he dashed to the front while the men of the leading regiment were ordered to de- ploy as skirmishers and push forward against the unknown enemy. What the number or character of the force thus encountered might be General Hays could, of coarse, form no conjecture, but it was exactly what he proposed to find out in the shortest possible time.
