The Stonewall Brigade fell upon the enemy's flank and drove them back with terrible slaughter.

Other brigades came up, and there was a general charge along the whole Confederate line, and the Federals were driven back a mile beyond the position they had occupied at the commencement of the fight to the shelter of some thick woods; 400 prisoners were taken and over 5000 small-arms.
The battle was known as Cedar Run, and it completely checked Pope's advance upon Richmond.

The troops were too much exhausted to follow up their victory, but Jackson urged them to press forward.

They moved a mile and a half in advance, and then found themselves so strongly opposed that Jackson, believing that the enemy must have received re-enforcements, halted his men.

Colonel Jones was sent forward to reconnoiter, and discovered that a large force had joined the enemy.
For two days Jackson remained on the field he had won; his troops had been busy in burying the dead, in collecting the wounded and sending them to the rear, and in gathering the arms thrown away by the enemy in their flight.
