It was quickly withdrawn, and Tyler soon decided to withdraw Richardson also. Meahave succeeded. McDowell had disapproved of Tyler's affair, upon his return from his reconnaissaas going on, and that he refused to credit. Gen. Tyler was an experienced railroad manager, and fro to Manassas. McDowell's plan was as follows: Tyler with three brigades was to take position opposBridge in the rear.

re soon brought under a fire that sent them back in confusion with a loss of about 40 men and two guns, which had been brought across the South River. As their leading brigade, Carroll's, fell back, it met a second brigade of Shields's division, Tyler's, with artillery, and the two brigades, selecting a position about two miles north, decided to await the arrival of Shields with the rest of the division. Jackson left two brigades to protect the bridge, and with the remainder of his force manfederates from the north bank, wherever he could find an opportunity, during the whole afternoon. It accomplished little harm except to the Federal wounded, driving off the ambulances which were gathering them. Jackson pressed the retreat of Tyler's two brigades for about nine miles down the river, capturing about 500. He then withdrew by roads which avoided Fremont's guns on the west bank, and went into camp between midnight and dawn on the 10th in Brown's Gap on the Blue Ridge, some of

Tyler at Annapolis, as follows: O. R. 27, 801. — general: I have the honor to state that, after capitulating at Harem to the enemy's lines. I respectfully request, therefore, that the quartermaster be directed to forward them back. Tyler, however, instead of returning them, forwarded White's letter to Halleck's office, calling it a strange arrangement, and asks shall the wagons be returned, and how? What Tyler saw strange in it is not clear; but the tone of the letter suggests that difficulty was made, which is confirmed by Hill's report that the wagons which were loaned to carry off the private bagg

in their rear, near the camp of Tyler's large division and Kitching's larger brigade. Here Ewell occupied a very critical position. He was so slow in realizing this and beginning his retreat that Ramseur, fearing that further delay would cause disaster, charged the enemy. Having driven them a short distance, he retreated, and, taking a position in rear with Pegram, the two were able to delay the enemy until darkness covered a withdrawal. Hancock and Warren both hurried reenforcements to Tyler, and Ewell made a lucky escape. His loss in this venture was severe for the time engaged, being about 900 killed, wounded, and missing, or 15 per cent of his whole force. It would have cost less and have risked much less to have made a demonstration in front. The Federal loss was estimated at 1100. The two battles of the Wilderness and Spottsylvania may be considered as parts of the one great battle of Grant and Lee, begun in the Wilderness on May 5, 1864, and terminated only at Appom
