PREPARING FOR A FRESH ATTACK. 279
General Shields continued quiet on the east side of
the river. Jackson, emboldened by his slowness to
advance, and the easy repulse of Fremont, conceived

an early hour to follow Winder. Taliaferro's brigade

proposed to return to the Harrisonburg side of
the river and attack Fremont in the afternoon. In
case, however, of delay, and a vigorous advance on
Fremont's part, Trimble was to retire by the bridge
