h would have made him master of the positions of Marye's Heights and placed him in direct communication with his left wing. Notwithstanding the urgent solicitations of General Pleasonton, who advised him to make a much bolder movement—that which Grant executed the following year, the march upon Spotsylvania Court-house—he decided not to put a single division on the march before the next day. While the Federal infantry was waiting for daylight among the dark thickets of the Wilderness without e the Telegraph Road, which passes behind Lee's Hill. In the mean time, Howe, having been informed by Sedgwick of the movement which was about to take place, has assumed the responsibility of attacking this last position at the same time. Colonel Grant, at the head of six regiments deployed in two lines, makes a direct attack upon it, whilst three other regiments march upon the Howison dwelling, and a third column attempts to turn the left of the range of hills which is bounded by Deep Run.

oldiers in check everywhere. The year 1862 was brought to a close in the West by Sherman's disaster before Vicksburg and Grant's retreat; in the centre, by the indecisive battle of Murfreesborough; and in the East, by Burnside's disaster in front oive as its armies against invasion, and we have seen how at this period the loss of the depots of Holly Springs compelled Grant to beat a speedy retreat; whereas in the winter of 1864-65 the resources accumulated in Georgia enabled Sherman to accompn months before, it may be asserted that it had never been more formidable, more capable of a great effort. In the West, Grant was detained before Vicksburg, whose defences were then considered impregnable, but the Secretary of War was aware that owal of defeat at the moment when Vicksburg, exhausted, is about to deliver the keys of the Mississippi into the hands of Grant; the return to that unfortunate Virginia, unable to feed her children in return for the blood they have shed for her.

In attacking them this time the Federal cavalry is supported by the infantry. Grant's brigade of the Sixth corps, deployed as skirmishers, advances with Kilpatrick upon Funkstown. It soon encounters Anderson's troops on foot, and attacks them vigorously, and, after losing sixty-eight men, remains master of the field. Kilpatricy being able to gather up a cannon, a caisson, or an ambulance. In this campaign, so short and in which so little blood has been shed, he has inaugurated the system of improvised defences which will allow him in the following year to cope with Grant.
