The country was entirely open, and none of these manoeuvres could be executed without being observed, so as soon as my advance began, the enemy rapidly retreated in line of battle up the valley through New Market, closely followed by Wright and Emory, their artillery on the pike and their columns on its right and left.
The infantry rapidly formed line of battle, Mower on the right, Kilby Smith next, Emory in the centre, Lawler on the left, the main body of Arnold's cavalry in column on the flank.
"I am not used to going into a gentleman's quarters," said she: but her foot was on the shallow stair. "It is common to three gentlemen of the ship's company, Helena Emory," said I, "and we have no better place to receive our friends." She now was in the room. I closed the door, and sprung the catch. "At last," said I, "you are in my power!" And I bent upon her the piercing gaze of my eagle eye.
On the afternoon of the 23d Emory crossed the chain bridge and went into bivouac on the high ground overlooking the Potomac near Battery Vermont. So ended the "Snicker's Gap war." During this expedition Kenly's brigade of the Eighth Corps served with the Nineteenth.
Emory being forced to go North on sick-leave, his division was commanded by McMillan from the 17th of September until the 6th of October, when Grover relieved him after turning over the Fourth division to Beckwith. Birge, with his reorganized brigade, occupied La Fourche, with headquarters at Thibodeaux.
He never saw Daughtry again, because Daughtry saw Doctor Emory first. Kwaque's increasing restlessness at night, due to the swelling under his right arm-pit, had began to wake Daughtry up. After several such experiences, he had investigated and decided that Kwaque was sufficiently sick to require a doctor.
Their disordered ranks were pushed back about a mile, with a loss of five guns, and after nightfall Taylor's infantry and part of his cavalry fell back six miles to the stream on which Emory had encamped on the morning of the previous day, while the cavalry retired to Mansfield, but Taylor himself slept near the field of battle with the remnant of Debray's troopers.
To-morrow, by sunrise, if fortune favored him, he could turn it over to the commanding officer at the new stockade, and then if the Indians were not gathered in force about the post and actually hostile, he could slip out again at night and make swift dash for the Platte and the homeward way, and then within the week rejoin his sister at Fort Emory his sister and "Pappoose."
Did you never see one before?” “No. What makes it tick?” “Lightning, my son, lightning; that’s a lightning-catcher.” Calhoun opened his eyes in wonder. “Jes’ heah that,” he said to Emory. “What is it fer?” he continued, turning his attention to the operator once more.
"A fine education you are giving those boys, aren't you, filling their heads with lawless ideas! A fine debt we'll all owe you for ruining the character of my nephew Jimmy. He was such a nice nephew, too." "Your admiration is mutual, Miss Emory I mean, Helena. He says you are a very nice auntie, and your divinity fudges are not surpassed and seldom equaled.
