As we moved quietly along with General Jack son and one or two of his staff riding at the front of the battery, there suddenly appeared, about a mile ahead of us, a line of bayonets glistening in the sun light. As we halted I heard General Jackson and those about him questioning each other and specu lating as to what troops they could be, whether friend or foe. Their bayonets were evidently too UNDER STONEWALL JACKSON 107 bright for our war-worn weapons, and the direction from which they came a...nd, a little later, the color of their uniforms being distinguishable, no longer left room for doubt. It proved to be a brigade of New Jersey infantry commanded by General Tay lor, who had just arrived by rail from Alexandria. Rodes s division was on our left and not three hun dred yards distant. As the enemy advanced, Jack son ordered Rodes to halt. The Federal brigade came up on our right about one hundred and twenty- five yards from us, marching by companies in column. Jackson ordered us to fire on them with canister, which we did, and very rapidly, as they passed.
