A sudden and unexpected move- ment of the enemy rendered the execution of this order impractica- ble. At the instant that our troops rose the rebel force in front suddenly changed direction by its left flank, and marched to the north across our front for some sixty rods, when, again fronting, it came in upon the line of the 2d Corps, to our right, held by Webb's, Harrow's, Hall's and Carroll's Brigades, and Rorty's, Cushing's, Arnold's and Woodruff's Batteries. The exact occasion of this singul...ar and dangerous side-movement on the part of the enemy was not apparent at the time. It appeared, from the position occupied by the Vermont 2d Brigade, to be participated in by the whole at- tacking force, and to have been caused by the sudden appearance of a body of troops in firm line, much nearer to them than they ex- pected, on ground from which they supposed all opposing forces bad been swept away by their batteries. The fact was, however, that the left of the rebel line came in direct ; but taking an oblique di- rection, their right became separated from it, and was obliged to march to the left to close the interval.
