"Having received a, report from Colonel Brodhead that the town of Winchester was still in our possession, the head of the, column was put in motion, but halted again near Kernstown to be in position to reinforce the rear guard should it be seriously menaced.
"No unfavorable reports coming in, Colonel Donnelly was ordered to occupy, with his brigade in bivouac, the ridges nearest town on both sides of the Front Royal road; and •Colonel Gordon, with his brigade, the hills near town, which command the road from Strasburg. It was after dark before the first regiments were in motion, and nearly 1 -o'clock in the morning before the last came in.
