Liddell's Brigade.

On Sept. 20, 1863, at 5:30 P.M., Liddell’s Brigade under Col. Daniel C. Govan, including the 2nd and 15th Arkansas under Lieut. Col. Rubin F. Harvey and Capt. A. T. Meek, the 5th and 13th Arkansas under Lieut. Col. John E. Murray, the 6th and 7th Arkansas under Lieut. Col. Peter Snyder, the 8th Arkansas and 1st Louisiana Regulars, and Maj. A. Watkins Warren’s Mississippi Light Artillery under Lieut. H Shannon, moved about 5 P.M. from the glade 700 yards east of the Lafayette Road with Walthall’s brigade on its right and met no opposition until reaching this position. There it came under severe artillery fire from both flanks, and after a short interval Turchin’s Union brigade, withdrawing from the south end of Kelly Field, burst out of the woods west of the Lafayette Road, charged along the front of the brigade, and forced it to withdraw in considerable confusion to the woods east of the road. From that point it advanced to the vicinity of the McDonald house and bivouacked.
