The Second Vermont, Colonel Wai- bridge, occupied the left of the Sixth, and the Twenty- sixth New Jersey, Lieutenant Colonel Martindale, was on the left of the Second. The Fourth Vermont, Colonel Stoughton, was posted on the extreme left, and considerably to the front, in the edge of the thick pine woods, in position commanding a ravine and open space in front. In this position we awaited the attack. "The attack commenced a ...few minutes past five, P. M. , upon General Brooks skirmishers at our right. This proved a feint, as the main attack was soon made in strong force directly upon our front. Long lines of rebel infantry, one after another, charged down the slope into the ravine in front of our pickets. One rebel battery after another unmasked and opened fire. The left of the main attack bore directly down toward the Fifth Vermont, and its skirmishers retired, fight ing inch by inch. " The pickets or skirmishers of the other brigade were driven in.
