Back to Meechum's Station, from body and top of the out-going train floated wild cheering. "Staunton! We're going to Staunton! We're going back to the Valley! We're going home! We're going to get there first! We're going to whip Banks! We've got Old Jack with us. You all hurry up. Banks thinks we've gone to Richmond, but we ain't! Yaaaih! Yaaaaihhh! Yaaaih! Yaaaaaaih!"
Shot and shell struck the engine, the iron penthouse roof over the siege-piece, the flat car, the bridge itself. From the car and the bridge slivers were torn and hurled through the air. A man was killed, two others wounded, but engine and gun roared across. They passed Magruder standing on the bank. "Here we are, general, here we are! Yaaih! Yaaaih!" "Th' you are. Don't thop here!
Coffin's going to take the tower! Watch him! Yaaaaih! Yaaaih!" He struck the tower and looked to see it go down. Instead, with a roar, it sprang, triple brass, height on height to the skies. The stars fell, and suddenly, in the darkness, an ocean appeared and went over him. He lay beneath the overturned Federal gun, and the grey rush that had silenced the gunners and taken the piece went on.

See " Rumour broke into jubilant shouting. "It's the head of Jackson's column! It's the Valley men! Hurrah! Hurrah! Stonewall! Stonewall Jackson! Yaaaih! Yaaaaaihhhh! 'Hello, boys!
Old Jack says so. Pope may live on the country, but we mayn't." "That mountain is getting pretty big." "Hello! Just a cavalry scrimmage Hello! hello! Artillery's more serious!" "Boys, boys! we've struck Headquarters-in-the-saddle! What's that awful noise? Old Jack's coming Old Jack's coming to the front! Mercy! didn't know even we could cheer like that! Yaaaih! Yaaaaaaihhh! Stonewall Jackson!
They passed the fire and waste and ruin, rounded a curve, and came upon the long downward slope to the river. "Oh, here we are! Thar they are! Thar's the river. Thar's the Shenandoah! Thar's the covered bridge! They're on it they're halfway over! Their guns are over! We ain't ever going to let them all get across? Ain't we going down the hill at them? Yes. Forward! Yaaaih! Yaaih! Yaaaaaaaihh!
You've been doing pretty well up there in the blessed old Valley! 'Hello, boys! If you don't look out you'll be getting your names in the papers! 'Hello, boys! come to help us kill mosquitoes? Haven't got any quinine handy, have you? 'Hello, boys! Hello Kernstown, McDowell, Front Royal, Winchester, Harper's Ferry, Cross Keys, Port Republic! Yaaaih! Yaaaaaihh! 'Hello, you damned Cohees!
