Thoro was fighting of somo hours, and

Then Gen. Gregg, commanding tho hocond

Stuart's force, Tho Foderal divisions con

and second fought Stuart singly. I'lcason
ton's third division, undor Gen. Dufllo, did
not roach Brandy Station till tho uftoruoon.
With chnrgo and counter chuVgo of cavalry,
tho two force fought suvorul hours. Then

with n brlgado of Confederate cavalry.
Within easy supporting distance wero two
other Coufwlerato cavalry brigades.
Ploosonton says that somo kind of presenti
ment ho cannot explain it moved him to
pass through Aldlo Gap, on that very day
lio therefore marched to tho Gap with Gen.
Gregg's division to find it occupied by Con
federate pickets. Ho drove thorn back to
tho main body botweon U uud 1 In tho after
noon ot Juno 17. '
On n hill west of tho village of Aldlo, Gen.
"Fitz" Leo was waiting for tho Union cav
alry. Near Aldio Gap wero two roaiU lend

BluoHldge, Both of thoso tho Confederates
sought to guard.
Immediately tho two armies met tho Imttlo
began. It begun dcspcrotclr nnd raged fu
riously until after dark. Tlio Confederates
had tho odvantago of iosltlon that was to bo
dcrlvod from a ditch nml n lino of haystacks.
After a bloody light of three hours tho Fed
oral lino was broken nnd driven back. Then
tho day was saved to tho Unlou cnuso by tho
gallantry of Brig. Gen. llugh Judson Kll
pntrick. Tho Union lino wavered, stopped
and foil back. Suddenly Kllputrlck put him
self in iiersoti at tho head of the First Maine
cavnlry and ordered them to chnrgo tho
Confederate lino on tho Ashby Gnp road.
This Uioy did brilliantly and successfully.
Tho Conleilerntoa In turn fell Imck nnd Kll

about this tinis thoy rocvlvod orders trom J.
K. B. Stuart to fall back to iliddloburg,
which orders thoy obeyed.
Whllo Gregg's division was thusgottlng
possession of Aldlo Gap, a battle was taking
K'aeo also nt MiddKiburg, not far uway. Col.
