Jackson s command held the left of the enemy s line, and it seemed to be a race between him and Sigel, who commanded our right. 188 SEVENTY-NINTH HIGHLANDERS. August, These two had fought a sharp artillery duel from opposite sides of the river. Dead horses lying about, and here and there wounded men in the ambulances, attested the sever ity of the engagement. As we approached the station, passing along the road in full view of the enemy, his fire increased. Our batteries replied vigorously, and... for an hour or more the shot and shell flew thick and fast. Another heavy shower dampened our clothing, and also rendered the roads bad enough before almost impassa ble. But the halts were few ; we pushed on rapidly, and late at night reached a point near White Sulphur Springs, on the extreme north fork of the Rappahannock, where we bivouacked for the night. The forced marches we had made, during the campaign thus far, began to tell severely on the men, many of whom were still suffering from swamp fever, and it was with the greatest exertion that these men could at all keep up with the column.
