The fresh-made parapet had been knocked down in many places, and dead men lay around very thick.

I inquired who commanded at that point, and a Colonel Garland stepped up and said that he commanded that brigade.

I ordered him to form his brigade, stack arms, hang the belts on the muskets, and stand waiting for orders.

Stuart's division had been halted outside the parapet.

I then sent Major Hammond down the rebel line to the right, with orders to stop Steele's division outside, and to have the other rebel brigade stack its arms in like manner, and to await further orders.
